He took Rs 1,500 fee as a Barrister in 1936. He took Rs 1 salary as Gov. General of Pakistan. Respect.

#Jinnah didnt make Pakistan for handful families who have been in power since its inception, it was based on #TwoNationTheory for everyone

The biggest blunder we hv done is to confuse the ideology of#QuaideAzam #Jinnah. Our new generations hv forgotten the reason of separation

#QuaideAzam #Jinnah worked tirelessly day n night for our right of freedom. Sadly, we only got the freedom of the body not the mind.

We started our journey to freedom on the shoulders of two nation theory, we're now marching forward on the shoulders of 'no nation' chaos
Faith,Unity & Decipline.
He created a country for Muslims with the help of the two nation theory and we are doing the biggest dis-service to him forgetting the two nation theory and becoming so regional minded. Sure he did not make Pakistan for Sindis, Punjabis, Baloch or Pashtun but for Muslims. The ideals were not economic gains but Muslim glory.
A Great Leader.....Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Jinnah's greatest achievement was liberating a land, which produced greatest among fighters but the worst and meanest among leaders.
Jinnah was the one on whom liberals as well as the conservatives of that time laughed...but he finally made them appreciate his wisdom, honesty & determination.. We have a leader on whom extremists of today laugh, but he will also prove himself InshaALLAH..! Imran Khan is the Second Jinnah of Pakistan..!
I wish, only one so called leaders of today have only 1% of sincerity of the Quaid.
Best stateman of 20th century
Quaid was a great leader with an amazing character, torch bearer of the rule of law and constitutionalism. if only one of his stature this country possessed after him it would have been a country of good standing globally.
After going through "Jinnah of Pakistan," by Stanley Wolpert, I am happy my parents passed away before seeing the present state of affairs. Salams.
PS: May Allah Allmighty rest them in peace. Ameen.
