Re: Who is a liar - Nawaz or Dr Mubashir Hassan?
Based on the fact that there is past precedence where a poor country could manage that kind of distance between it’s two parts with a hostile country in between.
I have not read anywhere Jinnah gave that statement; but if we are to analyze it now; would you compare Hawaii with rest of the states in US with East & West Pakistan ? I might be wrong but it’s apples to oranges kind of comparison. But better comparison could be Alaska - Russia to US. No?
Plus; even if it was; US was lucky to have Statesmen at the initial stages while things would have been different if Jinnah lived at least 10-15 years after the creation of Pakistan.
I still would have answered the same as I did earlier;
Perhaps Jinnah envisioned that he would not die so soon after the creation of Pakistan or he might have misjudged his team’s capability to keep the country bonded together in it’s infancy stage- both did not happen!
