ISLAMABAD, Dec 07 (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said having a strong desire of peace with all sans any fear from and submitting to any world power, Pakistan would rise in the comity of nations with pride and dignity by following the principles of State of Madina, including democracy, meritocracy, justice and rule of law.”Neither we will fight others war nor to submit before any one. We want peace with all,” he said while addressing a gathering of students from Baluchistan here at the Prime Minister Office.
The prime minister referred to the United States’ repeated “do more” mantra regarding peace in Afghanistan in the past and said now they (US), what he had been saying since the beginning, were seeking Pakistan’s help for a negotiated and peaceful resolution of the Afghan problem.

He said a person, be rich or poor, having dignity, respect and the understanding about “La Ilaha Illalah Muhammad Dur Rasoolullah” never submitted to anyone.
The prime minister said the creation of Pakistan was the result of a two-nation theory pursued by the founding father Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali as well as the philosophy of a separate homeland for the Muslims of subcontinent presented by Allama Muhammad Iqbal.He said the philosophy of Allama Iqbal about the creation of a separate homeland for the Muslims was the emergence of a model Muslim country which pursued the policies based on Islamic teachings and that of the State of Madina.
The prime minister told the students from Baluchistan that has got a good chief minister. The government would do all to improve the lot of poor across the country, including Baluchistan, he added.
He said the government was also bringing a legislation to ensure the provision of due share to women in inheritance as per Islamic Sharia.
