KARACHI: Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto said that his Government has decided to disseminate the message and thoughts of the Quaid-i-Azam in every nook and corner of the country and to [reorient] the thinking of the intellectuals and practice of the politicians along the path that was carved out by the Father of the Nation. Inaugurating the deliberations of the National Committee for the centenary celebrations of the Quaid-i-Azam, he pointed out the significance of these celebrations in the context of Pakistan’s political evolution and in the face of challenges of the contemporary situation.
