President, Hamdard<br />

Foundation Pakistan in her<br />

message, read by Hakim<br />

Mohammed Usman, Dy.<br />

Director Programme<br />

Hamdard, in the function,<br />

said that only wishes could<br />

not change the destiny of a<br />

nation, but it needed continuous<br />

struggle with discipline,<br />

hard work with integrity and<br />

attainment of modern knowledge.<br />

Collective struggle and<br />

hard labour were the keys to<br />

open the doors of progress<br />

and development. However,<br />

as said by Hakim Said that<br />

freedom must be guided by<br />

wisdom and intellect as<br />

unbridled freedom was<br />

always harmful to the nation<br />

and freedom could be<br />

secured through using the<br />

intellect, understanding and<br />

hard work, she said, adding<br />

that careless and work-shy<br />

nations could not be able to<br />

maintain their independence<br />

and fell prey to other powerful<br />

nations.<br />

‘You are lucky that you<br />

have born in an independent<br />

country of Pakistan and are<br />

unaware of deprivations of<br />

slavery. So you should value<br />

the freedom and protect it by<br />

your heart and soul and to<br />

achieve this purpose you<br />

should equip yourselves with<br />

best education and modern<br />

knowledge as no educated<br />

nation can ever become<br />

slave,’ she told the children.<br />
