Special prayers would be offered for the eternal peace of Quaid's soul and progress, prosperity, solidarity and integrity of the country in Quaid's mausoleum, mosques and other gatherings being arranged to mark the day. The government, various political, social, cultural and literary organisations would organise different programmes to pay tributes to Quaid-i-Azam for creating a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.
Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah served as leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan's independence on August 14, 1947 and Pakistan's first Governor-General from August 15, 1947 until his death on September 11, 1948. The day also reminds about Quaid's historic struggle for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent where every citizen could live according to his faith and dignity. In this connection, Nazriya Pakistan Council and Nazriya Pakistan Trust will organise Quran Khawani on Quaid's death anniversary on September 11.
Critics believe that Jinnah's goal was well defined and crystal clear, based on his historic Two-Nation Theory. Against the political and religious environment at that time which was sweeping Indo-Pak sub continent, Quaid emerged as the sole representative of the Muslims of India forcing an eminent British writer Beverly Nicholas in 1945 to proclaim him as one of the greatest world leaders of the 20th century. Jinnah was acclaimed as Quaid-i-Azam by no less a person than Mahatma Gandhi.
They were of the view that the best way to pay homage to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is to strive for achieving the objectives for which Pakistan was created as a separate independent homeland for the Muslims of sub-continent. 'Lay kay rahen gay Pakistan' (We shall achieve Pakistan at every cost) was the famous slogan of the Muslims for an independent homeland. They had dreamed for a country where they could see love, affection, justice and peace. The Father of the Nation also wanted similar Pakistan, they added.
