What Encarta Says

Jinnah, Mohammed Ali (1876-1948), Indian politician and longtime leader of the Muslim League. Jinnah became the founding father of Pakistan and its first governor-general (1947-1948).
Jinnah was born in Karachi, a city in what is now Pakistan. (At that time, India and Pakistan were part of a British colony known as British India). Although his family, who were Muslim, came from the state of Rajkot in western India, Jinnah’s father was a prosperous merchant in Karachi. After being educated in Karachi and Bombay (now Mumbai), Jinnah studied law at Lincoln’s Inn in London, England, and was admitted to the bar in 1896. After serving briefly as a magistrate in Bombay, he practiced law in that city and soon rose to the top of the profession. He possessed strong advocacy skills and relied on his rhetorical ability to win many cases.
Jinnah’s first important contact with political affairs was in 1906, when he acted as private secretary to Dadabhai Naoroji, president of the Indian National Congress, a political organization that was working for Indian autonomy from British rule. In 1913 Jinnah joined the Muslim League, formed to protect Muslim interests against India’s Hindu majority, though at the time he still hoped for accord between the two groups. In 1916 he was elected president of the Muslim League and in 1919 became the representative of Bombay Muslims in the Imperial Legislative Council, a national legislative body with limited authority under the British colonial government. In the same year, however, the government enacted the Rowlatt Acts, which gave the Indian colonial authorities emergency powers to suppress so-called revolutionary activities. Jinnah, a staunch nationalist, resigned from the council in protest.
In 1920 the Indian National Congress launched the noncooperation movement, a mass campaign to boycott all aspects of British rule in India. Jinnah disagreed profoundly with the movement and resigned from the Congress. Jinnah advocated a moderate approach of cooperation with the British and gradual transfer of power. He continued to believe in the possibility of Hindu-Muslim unity, and worked strenuously toward that end in his second and third terms of office as president of the league. The differences between the Congress and the Muslim League were profound. Moreover, there was a serious personality clash between Jinnah and Mohandas Gandhi, the leader of the Congress. These differences emerged clearly in the Round Table Conference of 1930, where Indians and British members of parliament met to discuss India’s political future. Jinnah’s frustration at the impossibility of settlement led him to suspend his political activities for four years, during which time he practiced law in England. In 1934 he returned to India on a visit to preside over a Muslim League session and decided that he must remain permanently in India to look after Muslim interests.
The Government of India Act of 1935 transferred considerable power to Indian provincial governments, and in the general elections of 1937 the Congress won a majority in 7 of 11 provinces. The Congress refused to form coalition governments with the Muslim League as Jinnah had proposed. As a result, tensions between Hindus and Muslims grew rapidly. In Hindu-majority provinces, many Muslims felt they were unfairly treated, and at one point Jinnah demanded the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into their grievances. Most Muslims concluded that no legislative weighting or other safeguards could protect them in a united India, where the Hindus would be an overwhelming majority.
In March 1940 Jinnah presided over a Muslim League session at Lahore, where the first official demand was made for the partition of India and the creation of the state of Pakistan, in which Muslims would be a majority. During three decades of political life, Jinnah had believed in the possibility of Hindu-Muslim unity, and it was with the utmost reluctance that he came to the view that partition was essential.
Having reached this conclusion, however, Jinnah never swerved from it. His tenacity through constitutional discussions between the league, the Congress, and the British government in 1942, 1945, and 1946 made partition certain. During these years Jinnah came to be known as Quaid-i-Azam, or “Great Leader.” When Pakistan was created on August 14, 1947, he became its first governor-general, and the title of Quaid-i-Azam was officially bestowed on him by a resolution of the first constituent assembly. Jinnah died of tuberculosis in Karachi in 1948.

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

            The international community may be aware of the accusations, made by the US media in October, 2002 about nuclear collaboration between Pakistan and North Korea in the nuclear field. The allegations were categorically refuted by Pakistan on 18 October, 2002, when President General Pervez Musharraf, reiterating Pakistan’s firm commitment to nuclear non-proliferation had stated that Pakistan was not cooperating with any country, including North Korea. Pakistan’s commitment, affirmed at the highest level that it would not export any sensitive technologies to third countries remains unquestionable.

 

2.         It may be recalled that the US Secretary of State Colin Powell, during his interview with the NBC and ABC on 20 October 2002, had clearly stated that the President of Pakistan had assured him that Pakistan was not doing anything of that nature and that he had taken his word for it. Similar views were also expressed by the US National Security Adviser in an interview with the CNN. It is, therefore, clear that the US leadership did not give any weightage to the baseless and speculative allegations, leveled against Pakistan by the US media. The Government of Pakistan has also refuted the possibility of the US Government imposing sanctions against Pakistan since the allegations were baseless.         

 

3.         The international community may also be aware that India had mentioned Pakistan’s alleged nuclear collaboration with North Korea at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Board of Governors’ meeting held in Vienna during November, 2002. India wanted the matter to be investigated. The Government of Pakistan strongly resented the Indian move. The representative of Pakistan emphasized to the IAEA that Pakistan had a strong export control regime in place and had an impeccable record in this regard. Rather than making such baseless innuendos against Pakistan, which had made unquestionable commitments that it would not export any sensitive technologies to third countries, it should look at India with its perfidious record of broken commitments, which should be censured and investigated.

 

4.         The Government of Pakistan also conveyed its disappointment to Russia over President Vladimir Putin’s remarks on 22 November 2002, when he expressed his concerns about the security of the nuclear assets of Pakistan.

 

5.         It is re-emphasized that Pakistan is fully aware of its responsibilities and is firmly committed not to share its nuclear technology, equipment etc. with any other country. Pakistan firmly believes in nuclear non-proliferation and would continue to work for promoting global as well as regional non-proliferation. The allegations leveled by the US media, India and Russia were totally baseless, motivated and malicious. It was in fact, India which was instrumental in spreading such false accusations to harm Pakistan

Immigration Matter

Mr. Chaudhry Ashraf (MP) Call all Pakistani brothers and sisters to discuss on new immigration policy on Sunday at Mt Eden War Memorial Hall, Balmoral 3p.m. Last night he talked on phone and,  told me to inform all Pakistani community about this gathering. So Please come forward and take part in this important discusion.

Check Point

 

During a county-wide drive to round up all unlicensed dogs, a patrolman signaled a car to pull over to the curb. When the driver asked why he had been stopped, the officer pointed to the big dog sitting on the seat beside him.

"Does your dog have a license?" he asked.

"Oh, no," the man said, "He doesn't need one. I always do the driving."

The Sense Of Goose

 

The Sense of a Goose

In the autumn when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learnt that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following by flying in a "V" formation, the whole folk adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

Lesson......PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF A TEAM AND SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING QUICKER AND EASIER, BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAVELLING ON THE TRUST OF ONE ANOTHER......

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the folk

Lesson......IF WE HAVE A MUCH SENSE AS A GOOSE, WE WILL SHARE INFORMATION WITH THOSE WHO ARE HEADED THE SAME WAY AS WE ARE GOING......

When the leads goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over.

Lesson......IT PAYS TO SHARE TASKS/LEADERSHIP AND TAKES TURNS IN DOING HARD JOBS......

The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed

Lesson......WORDS OF SUPPORT INSPIRATION HELP ENERGIZE THOSE ON THE FRONT LINE, HELPING THEM TO KEEP PACE IN SPITE OF THE DAY-TO-DAY PRESSURES AND FATIGUE......

Finally, when a geese gets sick or is wounded by a gun shot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is able to fly or dead and they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.

Lesson......IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE, WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH......
