Gilgit Say Gwadar, Karachi Say Peshawar, Aik Qaum is a perfect phrase to describe the concept of united Pakistan. The lining of the map is zigzag but a stream of patriotism flows straight from the top point to the bottom and then rises from the bottom to the top. People at one end of this country hold differences like that of culture, climate, and adaptation. And this distinction remains the same at every end of the country. However, all the diversities are fully respected and enjoyed by the people of Pakistan. Because all belong to one nation (AikQaum) and that is Pakistani.
Gilgit Baltistan is the northern end of Pakistan that is a bouquet of various ethnic groups with variations in lifestyle and tradition. But all of them love and care for each other. This part of Pakistan is a hub of tourism. It connects the rest of the country with China and that makes it strategic. The talented masses have always been presenting Pakistan internationally. The people never wait for a second when there is a chance of sacrifices. There are hundreds of Lalak Jans who are ready to protect this land at any cost. And millions of them are fearless to climb the height. Their determination towards destinies takes us to the storyline from Ali Sadpara to Samina Baig.
However, Gwadar is the hub of natural resources and a strategic connector. It is the womb to CPEC. And CPEC is the game changer and key to the progress of not just Pakistan and China but also to the neighboring countries. The strategic location of the Gwadar makes Pakistan the strategic connector and presents it as a route to reach out to most of the world. The under-construction projects of Gwadar have created opportunities for overall Pakistanis, especially for the lower class.
Whereas Karachi is home to a range of industries that generate the revenue of the country. The city of light is the capital of Sindh province. It is a transport hub and is home to Pakistan’s two largest seaports, the Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim, as well as Pakistan’s busiest airport, the Jinnah International Airport. Karachi serves the country with the influx of goods and foreign visitors.
Moreover, the Punjab province connects the city of light with the city of flowers. The second-largest province of Pakistan in the field of agriculture. It makes Pakistan the agricultural land and provides nutrients not just to its own people but also to the world. Further, this province is the center of attraction for people because of its historical importance. This part has preserved the old heritage. It invites from all over the country for getting top-class education.
Besides this, KPK province completes the circle. As it connects back to Gilgit Baltistan. This province is the tourist hotspot for adventurers and explorers. The province has a varied landscape ranging from rugged mountains, valleys, hills, and dense agricultural farms. Pakhtoons are famous for their bravery and loyalty. They have always played a keen role in the protection of this country’s borders. It shares borders with Afghanistan that makes it strategic.
Despite the difference Pakistanis are one nation (AikQaum) and Pakistan is from Gilgit Say Gwadar, Karachi Say Peshawar. As a nation “We keep integrity closest to our heart and patriotism at the top of our mind.” And this is how we are a united nation and this is united Pakistan.
The APS (Army Public School) attack was a defining moment in Pakistan’s history.
