Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his speech to the constituent Assembly on 11 August 1947 stated :-

We are all citizens and equal citizens of one state.

First duty of the government is to maintain law and order, so that the life, property and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the state.

Crush bribery and corruption with an iron hand.

Black marketers be severely punished.

Evil of nepotism land jobbery must be crushed relentlessly.

Wholly and solely concentrate on the well being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor.

Every one of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his colour or creed, is first, second and last a citizen of this state with equal rights, privileges land obligations.

You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this state of Pakistan.

Guideing principle will be justice and complete impartiality.
