ISLAMABAD: Deliberate efforts continue to disconnect the nation from its history and create a situation wherein the younger generation is unable to question the state, Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani said on Thursday. He was addressing the 50-year celebrations of the Islamabad Model College for Girls, F 7/2. “Rather, the youth are being led to believe and accept that whatever is being imposed upon them from the proprietors of this nexus is their fate. These forces fail to realize that if we sever our connections with the history, we will become ineffective,” he said. Rabbani said that it was unfortunate that history had been distorted and the sayings of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, especially his address to the first Constituent Assembly, had either went missing or had been changed. “That is why our younger generation faces problems to find its identity and was unable to set its direction,” he said. The Senate chairman said that he was hopeful that the younger generation was capable of forging stronger democratic and constitutional values as many of them would not be believe the lessons being taught by these forces against the idea of Pakistan as a welfare democratic state. “The problems being faced by us today are mainly due to this drift from the historic connections. The younger generation adopts whatever is available to them in desperation to find its identity,” he said. He said that country was facing serious problems of terrorism and sectarianism because of the fact that people had disconnected ourselves from history and lost their identity as envisaged in the guiding principles of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. “The future leadership of Pakistan in this young generation will stand against this injustice of the state and will conserve the constitution of the 1973. They will work for the democratic values and human rights,” he said. He hoped that many of the students would be the contenders for the Nobel Prize in their respective disciplines. “The brightness in the eyes of the daughters of our nation has given me a new confidence that they will be the champions of the women’s rights,” he said.
