A must read letter published by the daily “The Nation”.
A selfless leader
December 28, 2013
Stanley Wolpert, famous for writing, ‘Jinnah of Pakistan’ wrote in the preface of book, “Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.”
It is worth mentioning here that the father of the nation played a fatherly role while drafting his will. He left an example that must be followed by all leaders around the world who portray that they have love for their country. The Quaid left his property and assets for his people, most of which was given to colleges notably the colleges and universities where he had studied.
This proves how selfless and devoted he was to this nation which has besmirched his name in the world. He was an icon who eulogized education and distributed his wealth among renowned educational institutions.
Today we can pay tribute to him by establishing higher standards of education and eradicating illiteracy, extremism, nepotism, joblessness, and corruption from society.
