Having failed to prevent the establishment of Pakistan, thwarted and frustrated by their failute, the enemies of Pakistan have now turned their attention to disrupt the state by creating a split amongst the Muslims of Pakistan. These attempts have taken the shape principally of encouraging provincialism.

Tolerance and Goodwill
|
|
The tolerance and goodwill that the great Emperor Akbar showed to all the non-Muslims is not of recent origin. It dates back thirteen centuries ago when our Prophet not only by words but by deeds treated the Jews and Christians, after he had conquered them, with the utmost tolerance and regard and respect for their faith and beliefs. The whole history of Muslims, wherever they ruled, is replete with those humane and great principles which should be followed and practised.

Quaid's Address to Officials of Government of Pakistan
|
|
The establishment of Pakistan for which we have been striving for the last ten years is, by grace of God, an established fact today, but the creation of a state of our own was a means to an end and not the end in itself. The idea was that 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 freeplay.
Karachi, October 11, 1947.

Muslims under Congress Raj
|
|
The Hindu Congress,...during these 27 months made every effort to suppress the language, customs and culture of the Mussalmans. Even in the Educational institutions, which were wholly Muslim, the students were compelled to use text books prescribed by the Hindu Congress Governments emphasizing the Hindu culture and traditions and belittling that of the Mussalmans, what little of the Muslim culture they contained. Hundreds of instances can be given of their having trampled upon the elementary rights of the Mussalmans.

India Not a Nation
|
|
India never was one, never was a Nation, never was a country governed by one single power even with the sword. It is a sub-continent of different nationalities and people. It was never governed in history by one single power. Even today, when constitutionally and legally Britain is ruling over India, one-third is not British. This administrative oneness is entirely the making of the British. This Government which has been in this sub-continent for 150 or 160 years is not a Government with the sanction of the people.

Pakistan - The Way to Freedom
|
|
Pandit Nehru says that the Congress is prepared to pay any price (as if India belonged to the Congress) except the price of freedom and their honour. Who suggests that the freedom of the Indian people should be bartered away? We are firmly of the opinion that the quikest way to achieve India's freedom is by the acceptance of the Pakistan scheme by agreement. I fail to see how the question of the sacrifice of honour comes in, if Hindu India were to accept the right of 100 million Muslims of India to self-determination instead of forcing them to remain in an artificial and unnatural union with most disastrous and dangrous consequences that must follow if such a course was adopted.

Hindu Majority Rule
|
|
I cannot be accused of being pro-British. No Indian worthy of the name wants foreign domination. But don't you see that if I agreed to join this treat, it could only be my accepting to Congress demands, which are opposed to Pakistan, and is the British Government surrendered, Muslim India would be faced not only by Hindu Majority rule but a Hindu Majority triumphant with British co-operation?
