The Pakistan Resolution is a landmark in the history of the Muslims of South Asia.
It declared a true goal of their homeland for Muslims in the North East and North West.
It gave a new energy and courage to the Muslims who gathered around Muhammad Ali Jinnah for a struggle for freedom.
The Pakistan Resolution, undoubtedly, is the most important event that changed the course of Indian history and left deep marks on world history.
It was the most significant movement in recent world history.
The resolution was headed by a puny person Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who prior and after the passage of this resolution remained in a state of encounters with the gory events with ailing figure.
His name no doubt has been bracketed in the catalogue of the souls who changed the global map.
Pakistan came into being after the 7 years of this resolution, now the 77 years have passed away but Muslims of Pakistan are still in a state of struggle to get any type of peace.
The cause and facts behind this drawback is that the Muslims of Pakistan deviated from the path which the founder of Pakistan showed to us.
I would like to quote a radiative extract from his maiden speech, which he delivered after assuming the office of Governor-General.
Quaid-e-Azam said, “We have achieved Pakistan on the basis of Islam.
” The Holy Quran is a gateway to all guidance for us.
We must derive all wisdom from it.
The ruling class of Pakistan must live strictly according to Islamic laws and regulations.
The managers of Pakistan will take themselves as the servants of their common people.
They will not be allowed to enjoy any special privileges.
I want to tell you clearly that our salvation lies in adopting all the rules which are in Islamic System of rule, because they are all based on justice and social order.
Islamic system provides equal opportunities to all the citizens of the country.
In Islamic system treasury in reality is the property of the people and every member of the commonwealth is entitled to have an allowance out of the income of the state.
The old generation of Pakistan or the participants of Pakistan Movement are the eye witness that whatever Father of the Nation preached, he practiced it thoroughly.
His biography reveals all the facts and practices he adopted in his personal life, but tragically, we shattered his dream into pieces.
The current situation in the country has left the intelligentsia, political observers and even ordinary citizens spellbound.
The harmful actions of political parties continue unabated, with processions in motion and candid cameras capturing every move of the politicians.
The ultimate goal of our politicians seems to be gaining power and then amassing wealth.
The most tragic aspect of Pakistan’s political culture is the involvement of religious scholars in politics, which has wreaked havoc on the country and its people.
In the 18th century in France a parliament was established comprising the religious groups, it was called the Estate General Parliament.
In this set up the priests attained all the powers and privileges but delivered no good change to the public.
The religious groups of the government were taken as the guarantee of righteousness in all social and political fields.
They were also taken as above all the impeachment.
Soon the law makers and the think tanks decided to end the rule of the religious group and set up a “France National Assembly” they chose some people to run the Govt affairs, they put the country on the way to developments and people of France took a sigh of relief.
Now in all the European countries all the religious groups are strictly confined to the churches and no commoners are allowed to seek any worldly admonition from any priest.
Today, we are celebrating Pakistan Day with great enthusiasm, but have we ever committed to ourselves individually that we will regard and respect all those endeavours and sacrifices that the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and his coterie endured?
Sadly, many TV channels were showcasing bold events and rallies related to Women’s Day.
Numerous channels were broadcasting processions by women depicting slogans related to their liberty, but in reality, the females were demanding a license, not liberty.
Pakistan Resolution Day, a specific day when the Muslims of India passed the resolution for their liberty, should remind us of the true significance of freedom.
