However be careful not to give one group too much sway on the affairs of governance. Strike a balance so all parties moderate each other.
That's what Hindu's like Ghandi attempted to do in the 30s and 40s and Jinnah along with the Muslim League told them to f*ck off.
We didn't need to "strike a balance" with Liberals, Hindus and Sikhs that opposed the creation of Pakistan in the 30s and 40s and we certainly don't need to now.
The problem is that Pakistan's leadership for a bulk of its history has placated others at the cost of our own people which has lead to strife within our borders. The Pakistani National Congress, a collection of those same "patriotic Hindus", is a prime example of this.
“The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (may peace be upon him). We are members of the brotherhood of Islam in which all are equal in rights, dignity and self-respect. Consequently, we have a special and a very deep sense of unity. But make no mistake: Pakistan is not a theocracy or anything like it.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Bro, you don't have an understanding of what Jinnah meant because you've been intentionally misled for years.
The quote you posted has been purposely misinterpreted by liberal garbage for decades and since many in Pakistan have a very rudimentary understanding of the English language they've believed those misinterpretations as fact.
Liaquat Ali Khan even clarified what Jinnah meant during his March 9, 1949 speech on the Objective Resolution where he stated:
“But in the technical sense, theocracy has come to mean a Government by ordained priests, who wield authority as being specially appointed by those who claim to derive their rights from their sacerdotal position. I cannot over-emphasize the fact that such an idea is absolutely foreign to Islam. Islam does not recognize either priesthood or any sacerdotal authority; and, therefore, the question of a theocracy simply does not arise in Islam.”
It doesn't mean that religious scholars shouldn't nor can't become PM's in fact they are encouraged to run for the position as is any religious Muslim you just can't become one without a vote because you think God gave you some special right to be one because of some special authority.
This is also why the Objective Resolution of 1949 reads:
“Whereas sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Allah Almighty alone and the authority which He has delegated to the State of Pakistan, through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust;”
Mind you Liaquat Ali Khan is Quaid-e-Millat (Father of the Nation), a founding father and member of the Muslim league along with being the man Jinnah chose to be the executor of his estate.
“You are free; you are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the state.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I'll begin by stating a fact that there is no recorded record of that speech you cited:
https://tribune.com.pk/story/393625/no-copy-of-jinnahs-secular-state-speech-india
Even if I took the speech at face value the August 11, 1947 speech has long been misunderstood as being "secular" because people ignore the Quran (ex. Surah 2:256 and 10:99) along with the constitution of Medina (articles 1, 2 and 16).
Pakistani's in general don't necessarily object to kafir's being able to practice their faith but not if it violates our freedoms and culture.
However those kafir's, alongside this liberal filth that infests Pakistan, have betrayed our nation and peoples time and again and it's time to end any attempt at placating them.
Furthermore, I have a growing belief that the August 11 1947 speech was nothing more than propaganda for the Western masses particularly the US which was instrumental in ending British and French colonial rule that they blamed for WWII which is also why they strongly opposed their invasion of the Suez Canal in 1956.
The US never liked the idea of Pakistan they just hated the British and French empires even more.
"It is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality... Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs and literary traditions. They neither intermarry nor eat together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions."
Mohammed Ali Jinnah 23 March 1940
These Deccan and Gangetic pagan garbage that the British brought into Pakistan through colonialism and their earlier invasions of our ancestral lands aren't our people.
Jinnah's statement has proven right time and time again in the 30s, 40s, 1970 and even today you have these Hindu's, like their predecessors of the Pakistan National Congress, doing the same thing again trying to divide our people and this time demonizing our patriotic Pathan brothers/sisters to sow discord and hate amongs ourselves:
Our priority must be to make Pakistan a utopia for our own Muslims who the nation was built by and for. Only once every Muslim has a house, good job and lives happy productive lives within our country run in accordance with our own culture/laws should we be focusing on others.
