Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, issued a message on the occasion of Iqbal Day on November 9.
Dar noted that through his 1930 Allahabad Address and poetry, Iqbal articulated the distinct identity of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent and shaped the idea of an independent homeland where they could determine their own future. He stated that Iqbal was one of the pioneers of the movement that led to the establishment of Pakistan.
Dar emphasized that Iqbal's concepts of "Khudi" (Selfhood) and self-confidence remain important in Pakistan's national journey.
