42. We have always believed that every people and every nation must be permitted to live according to its own way of life, which reflects its accumulated national heritage. In fact, it represents an accretion of history. We, the 90 million people of Pakistan, claim to pattern our lives on the precepts of Islam. After all our turmoils and tribulations we now have a leader in whom the people of our country have reposed their hopes and their faith. He firmly believes in promoting fraternal relations between the peoples of the under-developed countries, particularly Asia and Africa, and to that end he has directed his efforts in a most positive and constructive way. Under his leadership, Pakistan is engaged in a great political experiment known as "Basic Democracies”. The objective of this political system is to foster and encourage the creative urges of our peoples.
