ISLAMABAD: On Saturday, the nation will commemorate the 146th birth day of Pakistan’s founder, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, with the usual passion and excitement.
The day begins with a recitation of the Holy Quran at Quaid-e-mausoleum Azam’s in Karachi. In the morning, the tomb will host an elegant changing of guards ceremony.
On this occasion, the national flag will be flown from the tops of all public and private buildings.
Quaid-e-Azam 146th birth anniversary celebrated with full zeal and zest.
Seminars, discussions, and exhibitions will be held at both the official and civil society levels to emphasize the Quaid-e-life, Azam’s achievements, and many elements of his personality.
Born at Wazir Mansion in Karachi, Jinnah was trained as a barrister at Lincoln’s Inn in London, England. Upon his return to India, he enrolled at the Bombay High Court and took an interest in national politics, which eventually replaced his legal practice. Jinnah rose to prominence in the Indian National Congress in the first two decades of the 20th century.
In these early years of his political career, Jinnah advocated Hindu–Muslim unity, helping to shape the 1916 Lucknow Pact between the Congress and the All-India Muslim League, in which Jinnah had also become prominent. Jinnah became a key leader in the All-India Home Rule League and proposed a fourteen-point constitutional reform plan to safeguard the political rights of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. In 1920, however, Jinnah resigned from Congress when it agreed to follow a campaign of satyagraha, which he regarded as political anarchy.
