Let us take a moment to acknowledge the central role that the Indian Congress and the Indian political leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Abul Kalam Azad, Sardar Valabbhai Patel, Dadabhai Nuoroji, Sarojini Naidu, Mohammed Ali Jauhar, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Mohammed Ali Jauhar, Moti Lal Nehru, Subash Chandra Bose etc. played in the subcontinent’s independence struggle without which neither India nor Pakistan would have come into existence.
Therefore, as a proud Pakistani; I sincerely wish all the Indian members as well as all the Indians a very ‘Happy Independence day’.
