Non-Muslim Pakistanis who spent their lives to make Pakistan proud

The founding father of nation Mr.Muhammad Ali Jinnah was undoubtedly esteemed and trusted by all, irrespective of citizens’ faith, belief or creed. During his struggle for the independence of Pakistan, Non-Muslim organizations and activists along with others actively supported Mr. Jinnah in his great mission even before the final phase of the freedom movement. Christians not just loved him and agreed with his thinking and ideology but also offered endless support.

“You are free: you are free to go to your temples, free to go to your mosques ot to any other place of worship in the state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or cast or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state”
