On this great day today, I once again, with an open heart, invite all political parties, stakeholders and civil society to become part of Misaq-i-Istehkam-i-Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said this was not a plan to revive the \u2018Charter of Economy\u2019 but in the greater national interest so the whole world could see that \u201cdifferences have their own place but we are all one for the sake of our beloved Pakistan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime minister said the country would not give space to another \u2018fitna\u2019 after the many sacrifices in the fight against terrorism, adding that everyone had the right to protest, to criticise and to conduct politics, but not to riot and vandalise, to defame and curse and to rebel against the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premier paid tribute to the nation\u2019s founders and ideologues whose \u201cleadership and efforts changed history and geography\u201d and to the country\u2019s armed forces for their performance in May\u2019s military conflict against India, saying that country was dealt a \u201chistoric lesson\u201d that its future generations would remember \u201cfor eternity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PM Shehbaz also thanked Pakistan\u2019s allies for their support and solidarity on the international arena amid the tensions with India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am also grateful to US President Donald Trump and his team for playing a strong role in the ceasefire. I am hopeful that for regional peace, Trump will play his role in peacefully resolving the Kashmir issue in accordance with UN resolutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime minister said that while celebrating independence and Marka-i-Haq, Pakistanis must think about those still struggling for their freedom, whether it was in \u201cGaza\u2019s blood-soaked streets or in occupied Kashmir, where the blood of innocent Kashmiris runs and turns the rivers red\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cPakistan clearly states that it will stand with its oppressed brothers and sisters. What is happening to the Palestinians is a test of our humanity. Pakistan will fight \u2026 until our Palestinian and Kashmiri brethren get their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime minister subsequently unveiled a digital model of the Marka-i-Haq Monument.Fireworks at a special grand ceremony to mark Marka-i-Haq and Independence Day in Islamabad on Wednesday. \u2014 DawnNewsTV<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The countdown to midnight and Aug 14 culminated in a spectacular fireworks display in the capital\u2019s sky while the national anthem was played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different branches of the armed forces paraded before the attendees.
