Education was a key focus of Jinnah

RAWALPINDI: Education was the keynote of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah as he always commended Sir Syed Ahmad Khan for setting up the Aligarh University for Muslims, besides encouraging Muslim educational institutions in Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi while donating handsome sums to each.

This was stated by Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Chairman Justice Ali Nawaz Chowhan while presiding over a seminar on "Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Freedom Struggle" by the Jinnah-Iqbal South Asian Forum in coordination with the Jinnah-Iqbal Education Campus in Rawalpindi on Monday to celebrate Quaid-i-Azam Day.

Justice Chowhan said that Quaid-i-Azam created Pakistan by the dint of his continuous struggle by translating the vision of Allama Muhammad Iqbal into a reality that Indian Muslims are a nation, hence they deserved a separate homeland in the areas where Muslims are in majority in the Indian sub-continent.
