ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday urged the youth to develop three characteristics of truth, justice and valour as enunciated by Allama Iqbal in his poetry.
The prime minister posted his message on his Twitter handle as the nation celebrated the Independence Day.
“My message on Independence Day [is] especially for our youth. These three characteristics — truth, justice and valour — transform ordinary human beings into great ones,” he said.
Mr Khan quoted a couplet from the poem Tulu-i-Islam in Iqbal’s poetry collection Bang-i-Dara. “Read again the lesson of truth, of justice and of valour. You will be asked to perform the task of leading the world,” the English translation of the couplet says.
