I don’t intend the discussion to digress towards what actually is a secular vs muslim/islamic state. That opens up a whole new can of worms. Lets just say, what i mean by secular here is what the contemporary understanding of the term is , in other words, what the neo-liberals of pakistan mean it to be.

I do not think that he wanted a secular nation, he seems more of a pan Islamist in his views (but not of extremist views). I think he wanted a progressive Islamic country where the minorities should also be able to lead their lives with freedom.
