ADVICE TO STUDENTS My young friends, students who are present here, let me tell you as one who has always had love and affection for you, who has served you for ten years faithfully and loyally, let me give you this word of warning: you will be making the greatest mistake if you allow yourself to be exploited by one political party or another ....

Your main occupation should be in fairness to yourself, in fairness to your parents, in fairness to the State to devote your attention to your studies.

Address, Public Meeting, Dacca, 21 March 1948 CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CHANGEGOVERNMENT These ministers are, truly speaking; your servants and you are their virtual masters. You have got the key to remove them from their ministerial gaddi, if they no longer remain alive to their responsibilities.

Lahore, 2 April 1944 CORRUPTION, A CURSE Corruption is a curse in India and amongst Muslims, especially the socalled educated and intelligentsia.

Unfortunately, it is this class that is selfish and morally and intellectually corrupt. No doubt this disease is common, but amongst this particular class of Muslims it is rampant.

M.A. Jinnah to Ispahani, 6 May 1945 FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION PROTET JOURNALISTS Isay, protect theinnocent,protect those journalists who are doing their duty and who are serving both the public and the Government by criticizing the Government freely, independently, honestly which is an education for any Government.

Criticize your Government fearlessly when it deserves, but do not go on all the time attacking, indulging in destructive criticism, taking delight in running down the Ministry or the officials.

Reply to welcome address, Edwards College, Peshawar, 18 April 1948 LAW AND ORDER Remember that the scrupulousmaintenance and enforcement of law and order are the prerequisites of all progress.

The tenets of Islam enjoin on every Musalman to give protection to his neighbours and to the minorities regardless of caste and creed.

Speech at University Stadium, Lahore, 30 October 1947 PAKISTAN NOT A THEOCRATIC STATE The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) . ..

But make no mistake: Pakistan is not a theocracy or anything like it.

Islam demands from us the tolerance of other creeds and we welcome in closest association with us all those who, of whatever creed, are themselves willing and ready to play their part as true and loyal citizens of Pakistan.

Broadcast talk to the people of Australia, 19 February 1948 PEOPLE`S RIGHT TO PLACE AND REMOVE GOVERNMENT FROM POWER It is in your hands to put the Government in power or remove the Government from power, but you must not do it by mob methods. You have the power; you must learn the art or us it; you must try and understand the machinery.

Constitutionally, it is in your hands to upset one Government and put another Government in power if you are dissatisfied to such an extent.

Address, Public Meeting, Dacca, 21 March 1948 RULE OF LAW, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS No man should lose his liberty or be deprived of his liberty, without a judicial trial in accordance with the accepted rules of evidence and procedure ... the powers which are going to be assumed by the executive, which means substitution of executive for judicial, such powers are likely to be abused, and in the past we have instances where such powers have been abused ... there is no precedent or parallel that I know of in any other civilized country where you have laws of this character enacted ... it imperils the liberty of the subject and fundamental liberties of a citizens . ..

VISION OF PAKISTAN The other and higher aspect of Pakistan is that it would be a base where we will be able to train and bring up Muslim intellectuals, educationists, economists, scientists,doctors, engineers, technicians, etc.

who will work to bring about Islamic renaissance. They will spread over the Middle East and other Muslim countries to serve their co-religionists and create awakening among them. The entire belt of the Middle East will develop into a solid, cohesive block a third block which will be neither communistic nor capitalistic but truly socialistic.

Quaid-i-Azam as seen by his contemporaries, by Jamiluddin Aali WE ARE MUSLIMS AND PAKISTANI FIRST Let me warn you in the clearest terms of the dangers that still face Pakistan .... Having failed to prevent the establishment of Pakistan, thwarted and frustrated by their failure, the enemies of Pakistan have now turned their attention to disrupt the State by creating a split amongst the Muslims of Pakistan.

These attempts have taken the shape principally of encouraging provincialism. As long as you do no throw off this poison [of provincialism] from your body politic, you will never be able to weld yourself, mould yourself, galvanize yourself into a real, true nation. What we want is not to talk about Bengali, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, Pathan, and so on. They are, of course, units.

But I ask you: have you forgotten the lesson that was taught to us thirteen hundred years ago? If I may point out, you are all outsiders here.

Who are the original inhabitants of Bengal not those who are now living here. So what is the use of saying, `We are Bengalis, or Sindhis or Pathans, or Punjabis.` No, we are Muslims.

Address, Public Meeting, Dacca, 21 March 1948 WOMEN`S RIGHTS No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. I do not mean that we should imitate the evils of the Western life.

But let us try to raise the status of our women according to our own Islamic ideas and standards. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable conditions in which our women have to live.

You should take your women along with you as comrades in every sphere of life, avoiding the corrupt practices of Western society.
