Indeed, if you ask me this has been the biggest hindrance in the way of India to attain freedom and independence and but for this we would have been free peoples long long ago.You are free, you are free to go to your tamples, You are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste on creed - that has nothing to do with the business of the state.We are starting in the days when there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another.We are all citizens and equal citizens of one state.all members of the Nation.and you will find than in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslim would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the state.My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world."

5,000 trees to be planted at Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam

The News International Pakistan - October 9, 2000

The barren land of the mausoleum of Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is changing rapidly into lush green gardens where a thick green jungle of about 5,000 trees of 38 different types would be planted of which 3,000 have already been planted.

The sources said that horticulture is the most important part of the Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam project as more than 60 gardeners of Karachi Development Authority were working to make it a unique garden in the country.

The plan of the Bagh is inspired by Chahar Bagh concept, which is culmination of traditional Islamic architecture in the subcontinent. Chahar Bagh is temporal representation of the garden of paradise. It carries all the features of paradise, like water channels, cascades, pools, fountains, walkways, green lawns and fruit laden and aromatic trees. When viewed in totality it transpires that Muslim garden is a formal entity.

The 38 different types of saplings which are being planted in the garden are Kachnar 311 trees, Gul Mohar red 450, Din Ka Raja 275, Amaltas 222, Pink Champa 115, White Champa 176, Chiku 336, Neem 950, all three types of Bougainvillaea (Red, Pink, Formosa) 625, Kagzi Lemon 140, Anar 105, Lignam 786, etc.

Meanwhile, a five-member committee has been formed to chalk out the programme for holding inaugural ceremony of Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam on December 25.

The committee is headed by Project Director Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam, Brig (Retd) Abdullah Zubair, while the other members are Commanding Officer, 102 Engineering Battalion, GSO-II Headquarters Engineers, 5 Corps, Resident Engineer, Quaid-e-Azam Mazar Management Board, and Shakeel Ahmed Allah Wala of KDA.
