In his message on the 142ndBirth Anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, he said that Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader of 20th century and was the symbol of unity for the Muslim Ummah.
The Speaker said that history fails to offer any other parallel to what the Quaid-e-Azam achieved. He quoted the renowned historian Stanley Wolpert, who has paid a rich tribute to the Quaid. Stanley said, “Few individuals significantly alter the course of history, fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Muhammad Ali Jinnah did all three.”

Quaid’s exemplary courage, statesmanship, lofty vision and dedication to the cause of Muslims of South Asia made it possible for us to be citizens of a free, independent and sovereign Islamic State.
