Islamic Republic of Pakistan
“You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan…You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the State…We are starting in the days when there is no discrimination between one caste or creed or another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State.…My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world.".....Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was the ideal of open society given to us by Quaid-e-Azam. It is according to Islamic principal. Why do then people quote this part of his speech to prove that he wanted Pakistan to be a secular state? The words are clear that the state will not interfere in peoples' faith. Each citizen will enjoy equal rights. It doesn't say that state will run on non-religious principals. If democracy means that people should elect their representatives to form government then the idea of secular Pakistan rests in peace in a dustbin. If someone argues that state affairs are separate from government, then where will state officials come from, from heaven or from foreign countries? How are state and government affairs different from each other? State alone doesn't exist. It is there because of people, territory, government and their freedom.
If he meant the government should be secular then how would Muslim majority elect secular leaders to run the country on secular principles?
