Pakistan’s
Independence Day
14th August: A Day To
Renew Our Pledge
And Rid The Nation Of
All Hypocrites (Munafiqeen)
(M. Javed Naseem)
“You have to stand
guard over the development
and maintenance of
Islamic democracy, Islamic
social justice and
the equality of manhood
(mankind) in your
own native soil.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

“With faith,
discipline and selfless devotion
to duty, there is
nothing worthwhile that
you cannot achieve.”

It has been 70 years now that Pakistan won its independence
from the British colonial masters and the majority of Indian Muslims got rid of
the racist Hindu terrorism in August 1947. Those Muslims who chose to stay back
in India, are constantly suffering apartheid, even barbarianism at the hands of
racist, violent Hindu groups. Muslims and other minorities (especially Dalits)
are being attacked in all towns/cities of India; their houses burnt; their
women raped; men killed and youngsters beaten and imprisoned. Human rights
violations are increasing in Kashmir and other parts. Minorities have no
rights, nor protection. They are living in fear.
“The great
majority of us are Muslims. We follow
the teachings of
the Prophet Mohammed (may
peace be upon him).
We are members of the
brotherhood of
Islam in which all are equal in
rights, dignity
and self-respect. Consequently,
we have a special
and a very deep sense of unity.
But make no
mistake! Pakistan is not a theocracy
or anything like
it.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Today, in India, the violence is happening in the name of “cow
protection” – as human protection has no priority in the biggest hypocrisy of
the world. This cow-fever was spread and fueled by the ruling racist BJP during
the last few years. Before this, the label of ‘terrorism’ had been used and
Muslims were arrested in big numbers. They are killed by thousands each and
every year by the ‘peace-loving’ Hindu junta.
This was going on in India for a hundred years! And that was
the main reason for the creation of Pakistan. For years, Muslims tried to
cooperate with the racist Hindu majority but in vain. Even the Muslim leader
Muhammad Ali Jinnah pleaded for Hindu-Muslim unity to fight the common colonial
enemy – the Britain. Jinnah had joined the Congress party as Congress assured
him of a just solution to the apartheid problem and equal rights for Muslims. But
Congress lied, as usual. For many years, Jinnah worked with Gandhi and Nehru to
achieve a respectable and jus solution for Muslims of India but those Hindu
leaders were unable to control their mobs. Eventually, Jinnah left the Congress
party and later on, it was an RSS Hindu extremist who killed Gandhi because
Gandhi preached peace with Muslims.
Jinnah had told his followers that they could no longer live
with hate-mongers who did not recognize Muslims’ rights.
“India is not a
nation, nor a country. It is a
subcontinent of
nationalities. …
“No settlement
with the majority is possible
as no Hindu leader
speaking with any authority
shows any concern
or genuine desire for it.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
When Muhammad Ali Jinnah was convinced (after years of vain
efforts) that racist Hindu, especially the RSS organization, would not leave
Muslims in peace, he not only quit Congress party but also changed his mind. He
was sure that Hindu-Muslim unity could not work, so he started demanding a new
country for Indian Muslims. After a great struggle and a lot of sacrifices,
Pakistan was created.
“We should have a
State in which we could live
and breathe as
free men and which we could
develop according
to our own lights and culture
and where
principles of Islamic social justice
could find free
play.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Then, the second phase of violence was started by the RSS
(racist Hindu outfit). They would attack the Muslim caravans, trains, buses,
trucks, carts, or anything that was moving in the direction of Pakistan. Their
slogan was:
“You want
Pakistan, we’ll give you death!”
And they did give that to many thousands of Indian Muslims
who were trying to migrate to the areas now part of Pakistan. That mentality is
still alive – very much alive and kicking – today. The politicians, who knew
that they have no solution to the problems of Indian masses, no economic program,
no development plan, no welfare project, they relied on the “hate plan” and
slogans. And that worked. It works every time despite the fact that these
politicians are not liked by the masses as they have no integrity; no
credibility; they are not trustworthy. So, they cash in on racism and hate.
“Come forward as
servants of Islam,
organize the
people economically, socially,
educationally and
politically and I am sure
that you will be a
power that will be
accepted by
everybody.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Muhammad Ali Jinnah (called by the nation ‘Quaid-e-Azam’ –
the great leader) said in August 1947, just a couple of days before the
official creation of Pakistan:
“No power can hold another nation, and specially a nation of
400 million souls, in subjection; nobody could have conquered you, and even if
it had happened, nobody could have continued its hold on you for any length of
time, but for this. Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free;
you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to
any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any
religion or caste or creed -- that has nothing to do with the business of the
State. As you know, history shows that in England conditions, some time ago,
were much worse than those prevailing in India today. The Roman Catholics and
the Protestants persecuted each other. Even now there are some States in
existence where there are discriminations made and bars imposed against a
particular class. Thank God, we are not starting in those days. We are starting
in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction. … We are starting
with this fundamental principle: that we are all citizens, and equal citizens,
of one State.”
********************************************
Pakistan is an
Islamic State, not a secular state
(as promoted by
hypocrites). Islam gave minorities
all rights 1400
years ago that secularism (which
was invented
centuries later) could not guarantee
even today.
Secularism exists on paper only
because all
secular states of the modern world are
discriminating
against Muslims and other minorities
directly or
indirectly, one way or the other.

“Pakistan not only
means freedom and
independence but
the Muslim Ideology
which has to be
preserved, which has come
to us as a
precious gift and treasure and
which, we hope
other will share with us.”

Excerpts from the historic speech that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad
Ali Jinnah delivered while addressing the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, on
11th of August, 1947:
“I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research
Organization in evolving banking practices compatible with Islamic ideas
of social and economic life. The economic system of the West has created almost
insoluble problems for humanity and to many of us it appears that only a
miracle can save it from disaster that is now facing the world. It has failed
to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the
international field. On the contrary, it was largely responsible for the two
world wars in the last half century. The Western world, in spite of its
advantages, of mechanization and industrial efficiency is today in a worse mess
than ever before in history. The adoption of Western economic theory and
practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and
contended people. We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the
world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood
and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and
giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the
welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind.”
“The first duty of a government is to maintain law and order, so that the life, property and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the State.”
“The second thing that occurs to me is this: One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering - I do not say that other countries are free from it, but, I think our condition is much worse - is bribery and corruption. That really is a poison. We must put that down with an iron hand and I hope that you will take adequate measures as soon as it is possible for this Assembly to do so.”
“Black-marketing is another curse. Well, I know that
black-marketers are frequently caught and punished. Judicial sentences are
passed, or sometimes fines only are imposed. Now you have to tackle this
monster, which today is a colossal crime against society, in our distressed
conditions, when we constantly face shortage of food and other essential
commodities of life. A citizen who does black-marketing commits, I think, a
greater crime than the biggest and most grievous of crimes. These black-marketers
are really knowing, intelligent, and ordinarily responsible people, and when they
indulge in black-marketing, I think they ought to be very severely punished,
because they undermine the entire system of control and regulation of
foodstuffs and essential commodities, and cause wholesale starvation and want
and even death.”
“My message to you
all is of hope, courage and
confidence. Let us
mobilize all our resources in a
systematic and
organized way and tackle the grave
issues that
confront us with grim determination
and discipline
worthy of a great nation!”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
“Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, forgetting the past, burying the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work together in a spirit that every one of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his color, caste, or creed, is first, second, and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges, and obligations, there will be no end to the progress you will make.”
“Islam expect
every Muslim to do this duty,
and if we realize
our responsibility, time will
come soon when we
shall justify ourselves
worthy of a
glorious past.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
