Muhammad Ali Jinnah made the impossible possible by giving freedom to Muslims in a short span of time. The acting governor Sindh said that ‘this country is a favor of father of the nation to us’.
The current situation in Pakistan calls for adopting the guiding principles of the leader, and the formation of a welfare society can only put the dream of a great leader to reality, he added.
