Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah No Place For Founder of Pakistan in His Home Land

This picture was an official handout from the Presidency on June 26, 2009, showing President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani receiving Pakistan’s cricket team, winners of the T20 World series.
The portraits of the PPP leaders can be seen in the background. No trace of the official portrait of the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan’s Founding Father.
The current democracy in Pakistan was installed by the United States. All the parties in power now in the country are pro-American and pro-Indian: the PPP, MQM, JUI-F and ANP. The last one, ANP, spent most of its career supporting separatist ideas. MQM’s chief has just given a statement that opposes the very independence of Pakistan saying the country should not have been “partitioned” from India [someone needs to teach him history; the day Pakistan got independent, India was still a British colony and wasn't officially independent until one more day.] But these ruling parties are not alone in completely ditching the Pakistani flag and the official portraits of the Founding Father of the nation. There is PMLN, JI, and other smaller parties that never raise the Pakistani flag in their rallies or public events.
This is how The News International, the largest Pakistani English-language daily newspaper, reported the story on Saturday, June 27:
The portraits of Founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah have been removed from the Prime Minister House and Presidential House, Geo News revealed Saturday.Two days ago, President Asif Ali Zardari hosted a reception in the honour of national cricket team on winning the ICC Twenty20 World Cup title. On this occasion, the team players and officials had a group photo with President Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani.There are pictures of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal Zardari Bhutto and President Zardari without any picture of founder of Pakistan are seen hung in the backdrop of photo.Similarly, an Internship Award ceremony was held with PM Gilani in chair on Friday. On this occasion, the stage was decorated with the pictures of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, President Zardari and PM Gilani; however, there was no picture of Quaid-e-Azam.In a similar photograph, President Zardari was administering oath of Federal Mohtasib to Dr Shoaib Suddle; however, the backdrop flashed with a picture of Quaid-e-Awam sans any photo of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah.Similarly, in a meeting with US delegation, no photograph of Muhammed Ali Jinnah was visible.Under law, to hang the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam at offices of government officials, President and Prime Minister is compulsory.
I still stand by my belief that the existing political elite in Pakistan is inept, uncreative and now compromised thanks to the ‘outreach’ done by the US and the UK embassies in Islamabad.
The best way is still this:
1. Ban any political party that is based on ethnicity/language. This will eliminate 98% of these parties.
2. Enforce fair and free internal elections, monitored by the Election Commission of Pakistan. No party allowed to run for office without this condition.
3. An interim, technocratic government in Islamabad for a minimum of five years, assigned to execute a visionary plan of reform that would include more administrative provinces and new laws organizing political activity and absolute focus on economic and education rebuilding.
4. Harsh measures against politicians who try to defy this plan. Harshest measures if necessary.
5. Stern warning to countries such as the US and UK to desist from interfering in Pakistan’s internal matters. If they are allies, then they should support the stabilization of Pakistan. See this
PPPistan or Nawazistan or Altafistan or Pakistan?

Disgraceful and shameful… I wrote to The NEWS but they didn’t print my letter. So now we’ll have George Washington instead of Mr. Jinnah at the presidency I suppose?????
this is horrendous, iqtedar ke aewaanon main kya kya ho raha hai???? i’m shocked, appalled & disgusted on reading this news exerpt. who said Pakistan is a sovereign country? we are still a colony, only not a British one this time. It tears my heart apart to see what’s going on in my country. we just don’t have leaders with ‘balls’ any more. PPP you here for 4 more years, right? so just f***** plunder as much as you can from this great nation, because after this no one is going to ever vote for your party again. for sure. you’re finished, maybe you won’t even last your full tenure. President sahb ne iss qaum ko sikhaya ke kashkol ley kr hath main kaisey ghooma krtey hain!! atleast maangney ki adaa hameyn btaa gayey!! lollzz.. seriousley, wake up Pakistani’s, our Great Qaid is being mocked..
We patriotic Pakistanis are only witnessing deterioration of our country. I do not understand what has happened to our saviour, Pakistan Army. Are they, too, not witnessing what is going on. This crook, Zardari, is still involved in geting kick backs from, German and other, defence contractors, in millions and millions. My heart is bleeding. I do not much to say. I wish I could throw all the current politicians and their collaborators in power out of the country. We are in the verge of loosing our country. Pakistan zindabad.
Ham log begahirat hogaye hain yeh aik dialouge Bohat kamyabi se kehety hain na k Behtareen Amriyat se badtareen Jamhoriat acchi hai yeh log yeh sawal karna kyon bhool jatey hain k kis k liye yeh dialouge fit hota hai Kasam Khuda ki yeh Log kabhi mere haath lag jayein khaal utar k in ki tezaab mein dobo donga yeh Mian Ganje aur Zaradri in ki nasal ka aakhri beej tak khatam kar don Everybody will see in near Future how Nawaz Sharif will get to the seat of president every thing is ready stage is set it will take a flick of time he”ll start looting us
cheeky bunch of shameless rascals in power. these are the people who have forgotten their past and ,verily, they too will be forgotten by the time it self. i think this zardari and company ought to have some ancestral link with Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq. someone to please check them out. In a way, it is good that Quaid – e – Azam portrait is not there to over look them doing all horrendous things and getting hurt. They will go down in history as traitors. its a historical act, whosoever did played with Pakistan, died miserably. you can start count from indra ghandhi, mujeeb ur Rehman, bhuttos, shah of Iran etc etc
Its a shame. Zardari is not in his right mind. I know he is under the influence of Altaf. But how long he is going to hide behind them. It would be a sad day for me to see names of ZAB and BB going down with him.
It’s really painfull for me… But I suggest we should not publicaly spread it out.
shame on us.
I could not know that a person prisoned for more than 9 years against proved corruption cases, how he became a president of Pakistan. Do PPP not have a person better than him, who served the country in fact.
And, why our supreme court is silent on this issue. Such a person should be hanged rather to take him a PRESIDENT of an Islamic country. His role as a PRESIDENT, is more worst than Yahya Khan. May Allah, save my country.
I have been noticing this change myself and believe that ‘common’ considerate and sensitive people of Pakistan are also feeling it. i dont know about the ruling elite class but it is the ‘common’ man who is the keen observer of these subtle changes. Surprisingly, no political party, media channels and news paper are highlighting this issue which shows that all of them are either part of it or are helpless in doing anything about it. Quaid-e-Azam is our national hero undoubtedly. I really get worried that what kind of cultural history are we going to give to our children?
I have written this to DAWN, NEWS, JUNG. Strange that all didnt notice. What the hell the corrupt leaders r doing?
It is really for all Pakistani nation.
Zardari is using BB name but infact he is nothing without BB.
And who is BB and Bhutto, the actual leaders are Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Liaqat ali Khan and BB, Bhutto were just Politicians they are not leader.
And now we are forgetting our history, our leaders.
Thanks God.!!! the flag is appearing
We should thank them that they didn;t change the flag(i.e: PPP’s flag instead of Pakistan;s)
I agree that Quaid-e-Azam and his family did not get proper respect in Pakistan. Pakistanis get every luxury and respect due to him. I loved Quaid-e-Azam very much since my childhood. Unfortunately Pakistanis love those currency notes on which his portrait is printed. Read More about Pakistan http://www.pakistannewsarticles.co.cc/
