The KGMC students participated in the declamation contest and poetry debate. The students in their speeches made the Muslims themselves responsible for the gloomy picture displayed by the anti-Islam nations on the global scene.
They said the existing downfall of the Muslims was due to the disunity factor adopted by the Muslims the world over. They stated that the global nations were playing with the Muslims like puppets and were terming them as terrorists while the actual terrorists were the Jews, Israel and other anti-Islamic countries who never hesitate to shed the blood of the Muslims the world over.
The young speakers encouraged the Muslims especially in their own motherland Pakistan and stated that the dawn was not far when all the Muslims countries joined hands and kept Islam and the Holy Quran above everything in their day to day routine.
Speaking on the occasion the chief guest disclosed that today the Muslims were victims of their own wrong doings and when the Muslims realized the actual task put before them then none of the global anti-Islamic lobby could derail them from their actual mission. She said the Muslims were being punished for their own errors and called upon the Ummah to become united against the evil forces.
Later, the chief guest gave away trophies and certificates to the winners of declamation contest and poetry debate. Vice principal of the KGMC presented a shield to the chief guest.
