RAWALPINDI: Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto has said the … reinforced desire to emancipate the Muslim World from alien political dominance and economic bondage that exists today from Morocco to Indonesia will soon find a constructive expression in the summit conference of the Heads of State and Government of Muslim countries, scheduled to be held in February in … Lahore, where the Quaid-i-Azam launched the Pakis­tan movement. In a message on the … Quaid-i-Azam’s birthday, the Prime Minister said the goal of Muslim unity was as dear to the Quaid-i-Azam as the achievement of an independent … homeland for the exploited and suffering Muslims of this sub-continent.

The Prime Minister called upon the people to make Pakistan strong by suppressing any centrifugal tendencies, consolidating their own unity, guarding their national integrity, pursuing the paths of social justice and progress and eradicating feudalism. … The Prime Minister said … the powers that have dominated, divided, humiliated, exploited or ignored the Muslim World for so long are now beginning to feel the impact of the political renaissance and the feeling of unity of the Muslim peoples.
