ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi on Monday reiterated the resolve to make Pakistan a modern Islamic welfare state as per the vision of Quaid-i-Azam by fully focusing on education and poverty alleviation.

The president, in his message to the nation on the death anniversary of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, said on the day, the whole Pakistani nation paid tribute to the great leader of the Indo-Pak subcontinent.

He said under Quaid’s farsighted and prudent leadership, the Muslims of the subcontinent had achieved Pakistan within a short span of time, the official news agency reported.
