WE have respected and revered our Quaid over the past 73 years, printed his image on all currency notes, have placed his portrait at all official places, also placed his portrait strategically at important events while delivering important speeches and statements. Multiple books have been written on our Quaid by eminent authors and there have been essays and articles on our Quaid over the years.
It was our misfortune that our Quaid passed away in September, 1948, just 13 months after establishing a homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent where they could live and achieve political and economic independence, but unfortunately before he could place his hand and seal on the future Constitution of Pakistan.
