    It's impossible to say because that is not a full sentence. Can you check it?

    Yes, the sentence is incomplete. The only thing that comes to mind is "since"="because".

    OK there is a full context.
    “I am proud of the fact that I inaugurated the construction of the historical building named after great leader of the 20th century, that is, the Quaid-i-Azam. It makes me more proud since my family’s Syed Zainul Abideen Gilani and my father Syed Alamdar Hussain Gilani were workers of the Quaid.
