Aamina Sheikh reminds fans of Jinnah's message about women's strength

On Jinnah's 142nd birth anniversary, Aamina Sheikh is reiterating his message about the power of women.

In a post on Instagram, the Cake star left a message about our responsibilities to the nation.

"Quit complaining, quit bickering and quit blaming. Jab mulq hamara hai, tou phir isay hummee nay sanwaarna hai. The foundation of Pakistan was laid by our founder & leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah - the Quaid - with the fundamental principle that we are equal citizens of One State." she began.

She then paraphrased the full form of Jinnah's 'pen is mightier than the sword' quote: "‘The power of the pen’ was constantly highlighted by the Quaid as he ‘rivalled it with the power of the sword,’ but he further stated, ‘the power of women is greater than both’."

She concluded with emphasising the need for unity, "We realise that power today, but let’s do so effectively; by upholding all genders, working off of each other’s strengths, and co-existing in harmony— after all we have to survive together. Let’s do it with the tools given to us of Unity, Faith and Discipline. Let’s empower each other and forge ahead."

Is anyone listening?
