Incorrect! Quad was against secularism! He wanted an Islamic system as evident in the later part of his history! So you secularists should stop quoting only what you deemed fit!
Our Ideology is that of Allama Iqbal, a true Islamic nation! Quad supported that!
Here we go again. How many times this debate will recur? I have seen Pakistan since her birth. Read articles and listened to speeches by various Independent leaders.
In my view the situation is:
Both Quaid and Allama Iqbal were not secularists but they were vehemently against theocracy.
Remember Iqbal states Deen e mulla sara sar fassad Or Mussalman ko jo hai Hind main sajde ke ijazat, nadaan ye samajhta hai kai Islam hai azad.
There was strong opposition to Pakistan movement as well as the Two Nation theory by JUI and Deobandi Ulemas led by Sheikhul Hind Syed Ahmad Madani. I saw a couple of articles in the Jang a few days back by a Deobandi mulla who was trying to re-write history by denying that a rift existed. My late father who, as a student was a Muslim League activist, used to have a file with press cutting of speeches by Majlis Ahrar and other Deobandi religious parties of the early 1940s where Two Nation Theory as well as the Quaid and Allama Iqbal were denounced.
For the nth time I restate what I believe. In Allama Iqbal's and Quaid's Pakistan, all citizens regardless of the religion were equal. Why people ignored the last speech by the Quaid on 11th August 1947 is beyond me.
The confusion has been caused by Ch Mohd Ali getting Liaqat Ali Khan to pass the Objective Resolution in 1948.
Masses have been seduced by the Deobandi parties who despite denouncing Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Allama Iqbal and Quaide Azam have hijacked Pakistan with only one aim, to grab power. The same Deobandi Scholars (Manawar Hasan of JI) support Taliban. Just look at the current mess Pakistan is in, TTP and all her allied parties belong to Deobandi maslak. They know that they will never win thru ballot box and can only come power thru guns. That is why JI supported usurper Zia and now supports Sufi Mohamad and Taliban!
A land where Muslims are free to practice Islam and Islamic theocratic state are two completely different things. It is a pity that many of my fellow country dont understand this.
Pakistan ka matlab kiya , la illah iLallah was never a slogan of the Muslim League or her founding fathers. Pakistan was only meant to save Muslims of the subcontinent from being overwhelmed by the vast Hindu majority, that is all.
