Tributes to Quaid-I-Millat Liaquat Ali Khan on October 16, 1972

This day, 21 years ago, here in Rawalpindi, Quaid-I-Millat Liaquat Ali Khan laid down his life in the service of his country and the people he loved so much.

As a trusted lieutenant of the Quaid-I-Azam, and a selfless leader of the people and as the great patriot that he was, Quaid-I-Millat will forever live in the hearts of the people and continue to inspire them to serve the country with devotion and sincerely.

Today, more than ever before, we need to remember that Pakistan was achieved by our people through unity, faith and discipline. The best tribute that we can pay to Quaid-I-Millat is to make a firm resolve to work ceaselessly, selflessly and with devotion to rebuild Pakistan into a strong and progressive country.
