Re: Quaid-e-Azam who?
Much fuss has been made in media of Zardari’s alleged removal of Quaid-e-Azam’s portraits form presidential palace.
My own take on this is since when have politicians cared for Quaid-e-Azam and what he stood for? As soon as Quaid was laid to rest so were his ideals of tolerance,…and those who opposed Pakistan’s creation most, also benefited most from Pakistan after its creation (see Irshad Haqani’s column; Nation State or Religious State). So congratulations to Zardari Sahib for being honest for once in his life. We also need to condemn those politicians who have king size portraits of Quaid-e-Azam all over but don’t have any intention of following his ideals.
