I ask them: if they do not understand what Pakistan is, what then have they rejected and against what are they carrying on propaganda, day and night? `In fact, they are afraid of the dividing or cutting of `Bharat Mata`. They want to keep the Muslims in the Hindu Raj in order to give them a fate similar to the Jews in Germany. But I know that Muslims can never remain under the Hindu Raj and that the experiences of 200 years` British domination are enough to make one dread Hindu domination, and hence our demand of Pal(istan, which is the only solution of the ills from which India suffers.

Referring to `sacrifice`, Mr. Jinnah said, `When the time for suffering comes, I will be the first to get the bullet shots in my chest.

These observations were made by Qaid-eAzam Mohammad Ali Jinnah addressing a largely-attended public meeting held under the auspices of the Baluchistan Muslim League at Quetta today [Oct 16]. Dawn Delhi
