I keep hearing this. But Jinnah chose the committee that drafted the objectives resolution. So he was not against it in the first place. In fact, the objectives resolution is in line with whatever Jinnah publicly stated in all his speeches. Why are you so against it?Well, Karachi was chosen as the capital in the first place because Sindh was the only province in west Pak that had a ML govt. And Jinnah's Pakistan was screwed up and his "legacy spit on" by no one but the Muhajirs themselves. Liaquat Ali Muhajir and his cronies hijacked Pakistan after Jinnah's death and Jinnah's Pakistan died the day Objectives Resolution was passed. Jinnah's democratic legacy was betrayed by his Muhajir comrades (who had no vote bank/home constituency in the newly created state) when they refused to hold general elections in Pakistan in 1951. Army came in much later. It was the power struggle between Muhajirs, Bengalis and later Ayub Khan that screwed up Jinnah's Pakistan culminating in the fall of Dhaka in 1971. Punjab and Punjabis had got nothing to do with it. So let's not get into that discussion..
I am not aware of the delaying of elections in 1951. What was this episode about?
In what sense?As for Ayub's decision of moving capital away from Karachi, history has proven him right.
appreciate your perspectiveKarachi, however, should be a separate province/federal territory. We can agree on that
