Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Fatima Jinnah, the mother of the nation who fought alongside her brother Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the struggle for the establishment of Pakistan.
According to the details, Ms. Fatima Jinnah was the closest of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's siblings. She was born in Karachi on July 31, 1893. She not only supported the founder of Pakistan in the war of independence against the British. On the contrary, she has accompanied Quaid-e-Azam on numerous trips.
The leaders often consulted with him on various political and administrative issues. He once said to Fatima Jinnah that she was a constant source of hope for him when the Muslims of India were facing a major revolution. After the death of the founder of Pakistan, Fatima Jinnah withdrew from practical politics. But in 1964, when the roots of dictatorship began to take root in the country instead of democracy, they once again came to the fore in practice. On July 9, 1967, the sun set on the life of Mother Nation Fatima Jinnah, after which she was named Quaid-e-Azam. He was buried beside Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The services of Madar-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah in Tehreek-e-Pakistan are unforgettable. She awakened the Muslim women of the subcontinent to take part in the struggle for independence and organized them to take the lead. Thanks to him, men as well as women became active in the streets of the subcontinent in the movement for the establishment of Pakistan. Not only that, but you have rendered great services in the form of service to the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and by actively participating in the Tehreek-e-Pakistan.
As the destination of Pakistan was approaching, Quaid-e-Azam was touring the whole country. You would be with him on this occasion. If the deprivation and slavery of the Muslim Ummah had made his brother restless, then his sister would have made the restless heart of this great brother restless. She did not spare a single minute in bringing peace and comfort. She took care of the comfort of Quaid-e-Azam day and night. Quaid-e-Azam was so busy in the struggle for freedom that he even took care of his declining health. Fatima Jinnah was very concerned about her declining health, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah was diligent in her work.
She was the true successor of her brother Quaid-e-Azam in political insight. Nizami had said in a conference that “Motherland is one of the builders of Pakistan. He supported Quaid-e-Azam in spite of his old age and took care of him. If you had not rendered these services, Pakistan might not have come into being.
On one occasion, Quaid-i-Azam himself, referring to the services of his great-grandmother, Fatima Jinnah, to his secretary, Colonel Burney, said, "He is grateful to his sister for her many years of sincere service and her tireless struggle for the liberation of Muslim women." On another occasion, Quaid-i-Azam, referring to the services of his sister, Fatima Jinnah, said, "In the days when I expected to be arrested by the British government at any time, it was my sister who encouraged me."
When the storms of circumstances surrounded me, my sister would encourage me. ”After Fatima Jinnah's confession of political services was uttered by her brother Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, there is no need for any further clarification. He asked the women to organize Meena bazaars for the financial support of the Muslim League. Thus, on your initiative, Muslim women started setting up Meena bazaars.
The income from these bazaars was deposited in the fund of the Muslim League. Inaugurating a Meena Bazaar in Lahore in April 1944, Ms. Fatima Jinnah said, “I am very happy to see that you have set up a Meena Bazaar, so that women can also lend a hand to their Muslim brothers. And it is our duty to help, lend a hand and encourage them to improve the economic condition of the nation. I firmly believe that our sisters will help them to improve the economic condition of the nation. ”
In the life of Quaid-e-Azam, the mother nation effectively remained with him for 19 years, ie from 1929 to 1948, and even after the death of the Quaid, he remained alive for the same period, ie from 1946 to 1967, but in this second period, his own personality Thus, his thoughts and character emerged in such a way that his mental grip on modern politics and affairs was incredibly complete and strong. In response to Ayub Khan's criticism of the 1965 presidential election, Madar-e-Millat said, “Ayub is the month of military affairs.
