Today there is hardly a more contentious issue in Pakistan than the issue of Jinnah's vision. While Pakistan was created as a result of what could be described as Indian Muslim nationalism, Jinnah was once an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity. When the Partition of India finally occurred, Jinnah, soon-to-be Governor General of the Dominion of Pakistan, gave expression to his vision of Pakistan in an address to the Constituent Assembly, delivered on August 11, 1947. He spoke of an inclusive and impartial government, religious freedom, rule of law and equality for all.

The founder of Pakistan spelt out his vision of Pakistan's future in his speech of 11 August (or was it 13th August)1947. The people who usurped power in later times have totally distorted that vision, even destryed what the Qaid-e-Azam fought for......and won. gspsuri@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-91387822705519175482012-10-16T23:14:18.722+05:002012-10-16T23:14:18.722+05:00Thank you very much for this article and the furth...Thank you very much for this article and the further links you provided here, sir. I don't understand why we as a nation have always most readily believed any sort of lies or disinformation against our leaders, without any research or verification on our part. Liaquat Ali Khan, esp. has never received the honour or respect that was due to him - despite the fact that his life as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan was "reminiscent of the early Caliphs of Islam."Fatima https://www.blogger.com/profile/04447765310864506798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-21830152198933459032012-10-16T17:58:41.491+05:002012-10-16T17:58:41.491+05:00Greetings,
Thank you very much for this post. I ...Greetings,<br /><br />Thank you very much for this post. I learn more and more daily because of your posts here and elsewhere. <br /><br />I have briefly gone elsewhere - after reading this post - to read further on Liaquat Ali Khan. From my limited knowledge and understanding, I nonetheless notice immediately that he seems to have embodied a deep sense of service toward Pakistan. Reading of his service ethos and general character, it makes me sad that I can't sit in his presence.<br /><br />It seems that there will always be those who will shoot and kill those who strive to serve others, to lift others. May the message embodied by Liaquat Ali Khan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, and others be what (and I know it is) triumphs over this violence.<br /><br />All good wishes,<br /><br />robert roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393402288038226179noreply@blogger.com
