ISLAMABAD: The nation would observe 61st death anniversary of Founding Father of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, with a pledge to make the country a progressive, modern and moderate Islamic state in utter accord to the wishes of Father of the Nation.
Special prayers would be offered for Quaid’s soul and prosperity, solidarity and integrity of the country in mosques, churches, holy places and gatherings arranged to mark the day.
The government, various political, social, cultural and literary organizations would organize different programmes to pay tributes to Quaid-i-Azam for creating a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.
In this connection, Nazriya Pakistan Council will organize Quran Khawani on Quaid’s death anniversary Jinnah at Faisal Mosque on September 11.
Federal ministers, senior government functionaries, parliamentarians, ambassadors of the Muslim countries and workers of Pakistan Movement would participate in the Quran Khawani.
The council has requested the people of twin cities to participate in the congregation and pay homage to the departed soul of the Founder of Pakistan.
Jinnah’s goal was well defined and crystal clear, based on his historic Two-Nation Theory. In-spite of heavy odds against him, Jinnah won, without leading a single protest rally on the roads, without giving a single protest call or shutter down or wheel jamming as is the order of the day.
Against the political and religious environment at that time which was sweeping Indo-Pak sub continent, the young barrister Jinnah, emerged as the sole representative of the Muslims of India forcing an eminent British writer Beverly Nicholas in 1945 to proclaim him as one of the greatest world leaders of the 20th century.
Jinnah was acclaimed as Quaid-i-Azam by no less a person than Mahatma Gandhi, the undisputed bapu (father) of Hindu India.
