DHAKA: For the first time since Banlgdesh’s independence, Pakistan’s founding father, Quaid-e-Azam\u00a0Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s death anniversary was commemorated in Dhaka on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 76th death anniversary of Muhammad Ali Jinnah was observed at the National Press Club in Dhaka with Urdu songs and poetry, Dhaka Tribune <\/em>reported.<\/p>\n

Speakers at a discussion session organized by the Nawab Salimullah Academy\u00a0highlighted various aspects of Jinnah’s life, remarking that Pakistan would not have been created without him, and without Pakistan, \u201cBangladesh too would not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pakistani high commissioner to Bangladesh was scheduled to attend the event at the National Press Club in Bangladesh’s federal capital as the chief guest, but he was absent. Although, Deputy High Commissioner Kamran Dhangal was present.<\/p>\n

Prof Dr Mostafizur Rahman presented the keynote paper, outlining various events from Jinnah’s life, from his birth to his death, the publication stated.<\/p>\n

Jafarul Haq Jafar recited an Urdu poem about Jinnah, while two Pakistani students studying in Bangladesh, Mohammad Tahir and Kamran Abbas, performed songs in Urdu dedicated to him.<\/p>\n

“If Bangladesh had not been part of Pakistan in 1947, we would have been in the same position as Kashmir today, with the Indian junta holding weapons to our necks. Bangladesh gained independence because of Pakistan, which Jinnah helped create,” the convener of Nagorik Parishad Md Samsuddin said.<\/p>\n

“Why should we change the name of Allama Iqbal Hall or Jinnah Avenue? These changes were made because Delhi wanted them, but we did not. Bangladesh must foster strong relations with China and Pakistan.”<\/p>\n

Another speaker, Nazrul Islam, said, “Regardless of how it happened, we have gained independence. We must maintain our relationship with Pakistan. We must preserve our brotherhood, and I hope that both Jinnah\u2019s birth and death anniversaries will continue to be observed here every year.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Deputy High Commissioner Kamran Dhangal said Jinnah’s leadership in the Muslim League had been outstanding. \u201cIt was the beginning of an important mass movement for the Muslims of India.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dhangal added that after the creation of Pakistan, Jinnah became its first governor-general. \u201cHis vision for the new nation was clear. He advocated for a progressive and inclusive state, reflecting a commitment to freedom and tolerance. His contributions were not only revered in Pakistan but also across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
