In his welcome remarks, Syed Murad Ali Shah lauded the Imam and his family’s contributions to Pakistan.

“His Highness’s deep commitment to Pakistan and its development has given us all hope and support,” he said.

While recognizing the “clash of ignorance” as the reason for growing intolerance in the world, the Chief Minister further added that, “His Highness has propagated only the unity of mankind and has been rendering an invaluable and selfless service for all humanity as he has offered tolerance and understanding, acceptance and affirmation, harmony and unity in these dark and dreary times.”
