Press Release
Shri L.K. Advani visited the mausoleum of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, in Karachi this morning. This was his first engagement upon arrival in Karachi, which is his birthplace, late last night on the last leg his weeklong visit to Pakistan.
Shri Advani inscribed the following message in the Visitors’ Book at the Jinnah Mausoleum.
“There are many people who leave an inerasable stamp on history. But there are very few who actually create history. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah was one such rare individual. In his early years, Sarojini Naidu, a leading luminary of India’s freedom struggle, described Mr. Jinnah as an “Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity”. His address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947 is a classic, a forceful espousal of a Secular State in which every citizen would be free to practise his own religion but the State shall make no distinction between one citizen and another on the grounds of faith.
“My respectful homage to this great man.”
