Really relevant n to the point.
My basic purpose to post this was to highlight the thing what really a PM or head of state &party is thinking. V Pakistanis quote Quaid Pic wearing Cap 2 proove that he wanted pakistan to b Islamic country while others show Quaid's different speeches to proove that he was secular and wanted pak to b secular as well so if IK is quoting dr israr about Quaid's thoughts then can v think IK is trying 2 develop the notion of what type of govt really Quaid wanted or simply put Quaid wanted Khilafat so v should also go for it.
Yup definitely QA died & he couldn't talk much about What really Khilafat meant to him so here v can't take this concept only in Islamic perspective bcz it is only used and described by Islam so v can't give it different meanings but yup v basically define and choose the concepts of Khilafat to implement here in Pakistan.
Allama sb's version of Khilafat i don't know much about and if u know then u can share and v can discuss on it but imo, Khilafat is very far fetched subject but definitely it has some basic tenets which v can implement.
Either IK is a follower of Dr israr or not, this is the question i didn't talk about. But if u read Dr israr then he definitely vociferously proponent of the system of Khilafat so prooving One's point one can borrow words even from a pagan so if IK is thinking about this then he definitely can proove his point.
If u Follow politcs of Khan after 2011 then u can easily understand that Khan puts sometimes deliberately the topic 4 media to start debating and so i thought this isn't another one. Yup he started debate and there is a long way ahead...
My friend i m not getting heart attacks bcz i m not a liberal. I m just a Political student and finance n Econmic graduate who knows in politcs n business there is no space for emotions so i try 2 analyze things in most unbiased way, wdout any affiliations. I like IK'S thoughts but i also criticize his policies as i like NS's some works but i hate their way of politcs so what is best i choose n what isn't i dont, afterall i am Pakistani first.
Hope you got my point..
If you listen to Dr. Israr Ahmad's lectures on Pakistan, Quaid e Azam, and Allama Iqbal, you will begin to understand the relationship between all three.
Allama Iqbal was the ideologue for Pakistan, whom Quaid e Azam referred to as a 'seer' in his eulogy of him. Allama Iqbal was a fierce believer in Khilafat and the need for unity and revolutionary thought to cure the Muslim world of the disease of apathy, cowardice, and toxic divisiveness.
Quaid e Azam was the instrument of Pakistan, mentored and discovered by Allama Iqbal to carry out his vision for Pakistan. The Muslim League and its nawabs, moulvis were totally shocked when Allama Iqbal brought clean-shaven, exquisitely dressed Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah to head them. Owing to their failures in gaining votes against the Congress, a lack of a strategy, and their deep admiration of Allama Iqbal, they accepted Quaid e Azam. The salvation of Islam and Muslims can come from unexpected directions.
“ . . . I have one underlying principle in mind, the principle of Muslim democracy. It is my belief that our salvation lies in following the golden rules of conduct set for us by our great law giver, the Prophet of Islam. Let us lay the foundation of our democracy on the basis of truly Islamic ideals and principles. Our Almighty has taught us that 'our decisions in the affairs of the State shall be guided by discussions and consultations'."

"Pakistan is the premier Islamic State and the fifth largest in the world. . . The constitution of Pakistan has yet to be framed by the Pakistan Constituent Assembly. I do not know what the ultimate shape of this constitution is going to be, but I am sure that it will be of a democratic type, embodying the essential principles of Islam. Today, they are as applicable in actual life as they were 1,300 years ago. Islam and idealism have taught us democracy. It has taught equality of men, justice and fairplay to everybody. We are the inheritors of these glorious traditions and are fully alive to our responsibilities and obligations as framers of the future constitution of Pakistan. In any case, Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic State - to be ruled by priests with a divine mission."

"Whatever I have done, I did as a servant of Islam, and only tried to perform my duty and made every possible contribution within my power to help our Nation. . . We Musalmans believe in one God, one Book - the Holy Qur'an - and one Prophet. So we must stand united as one Nation. You know the old saying that in unity lies strength; united we stand, divided we fall."
"I am glad that there is full realization on your part that now the position is basically different. It is no longer a foreign Government as it was, but it is now a Muslim Government and Muslim rule that holds the reigns of this great independent sovereign State of Pakistan. It is now the duty of every Musalman, yours and mine, and every Pakistani to see that the State, which we have established, is strengthened . . ."
"In the end, I warmly thank you for the wholehearted and unstinted declaration of your pledge and your assurances to support Pakistan, so that it may reach the pinnacle of glories of Islam and become a great and mighty nation among other nations of the world."
