Also in 1943, a member of religious group Khaksar movement Rafiq Sabir, entered Jinnah house and attacked Jinnah with a knife to assassinate him. Mr. Jinnah stopped his attacks with his hands. During this struggle, Jinnah’s hands, shoulder and face were injured but radical Muslim failed to kill Jinnah and soon Jinnah was rescued by his guards and Rafiq Sabir was put on trial.
First major speech by Jinnah after the elections was made in Peshawar in 1946 in which he explained one of the main reasons behind his Pakistan demand which was improving economic condition of Muslims. However, as Punjab’s governor, General Glancy pointed out common folks in villages started thinking that Pakistan was name of war between Islam and Kaffirs.
This was the reason why one Muslims leaguer chanted What does Pakistan stand for? In front of Jinnah expecting everyone to chant “to implement God’s law and to believe in his oneness”. Instead, Jinnah hated it. Later a poem by a school teacher, Ashghar Sodai was written after independence which used those words. It popularized this religious slogan and during Zia’s regime it was made part of Pakistan’s distorted history.
