• Primitive Taliban still killing people for materialistic sectarian reli

    Freedom of religion is not an American invention but an eternal spiritual principle of knowledge of reality distinguished from illusion for the ultimate welfare of all people. Nonviolence was also Jinnah's vision for Pakistan but the terrorists did not
    listen to their founding father till today and spread their violent fascism in Afghanistan.

    Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, forgetting the past, burying
    the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work together in a spirit that everyone of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his color, caste or creed,
    is first, second and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges, and obligations, there will be no end to the progress you will make.
    Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or 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.
    Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual,
    but in the political sense as citizens of the State.
