76 years ago, Pakistan was birthed with hopes of becoming a nation where every citizen, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or socio-economic background, would be treated with respect and dignity. Our founding leaders dreamt of a Pakistan where justice, liberty, and equality would reign supreme.

Fast forward to 2023, and we find a revered leader, Imran Khan, confined in dire conditions, his basic rights denied, and his pleas for justice delayed. This isn’t just a personal tragedy for Khan but a moment of reflection for all of Pakistan.

As we celebrate Independence Day today, let’s remember the values and principles our nation was founded upon. Let’s come together, not just as supporters of one party or another, but as Pakistanis united in a call for justice. The strength of our nation isn’t determined by the power of our leaders but by the unity of its people.

Let’s reclaim the spirit of 1947, standing shoulder to shoulder, seeking justice, fairness, and a brighter future for every Pakistani.
