Manifesto of PMLQ
The people of Pakistan owe a debt of gratitude to the Quaid-i-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League for giving us freedom andindependence. The creation of Pakistan through a democratic political
process and a mass political struggle was nothing short of a miracle in the
annals of modern history given the almost insurmountable odds. As theeminent American historian, Professor Stanley Wolpert rightly wrote in his
tribute to the Father of the Nation:
Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modifythe map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-
state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.
Despite the crises of the last 60 years, the people of Pakistan have
demonstrated tremendous resilience and the ability to bounce back. Theyhave demonstrated a can do confidence, invariably overcoming difficulties.The Pakistan Muslim League resolves to restore the peoples faith in national
institutions and combat the evils of sectarianism and parochialism, whichalongwith the scourge of extremism and terrorism, are today the biggest
security threats to Pakistan.
Today, Pakistan is moving forward, fuelled by a booming economy and anemerging and articulate middle class, a vibrant civil society, an independent
judiciary and a free media. The PML will strengthen these positives of an
open and democratic society to build a better tomorrow. The PML will seek topromote optimism and faith in the future, rejecting the negative thinking of
the prophets of pessimism. Such ingratitude (nashukri) should be dismissedwith the contempt it deserves.
Let it not be said that Pakistan was let down by leaders who were not equal
to the task. As the Party that successfully led the struggle for freedom 60years ago, the Pakistan Muslim League will, Insha-Allah, succeed in building
a better and stronger Pakistan with the support of the people.
We remain committed to our motto:
HOLY QURAN
HUMANITY FIRST :
If anyone kills one person, it would be as if he killed humanity. And ifanyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved humanity.
Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 32

TOLERANCE & CO-EXISTENCEOh you non-believers (those that reject faith), I worship not that which you
worshiap. Nor will you worship that which I worship. And I will not worshipthat which you have been wont to worship. Nor will you worship that which I
worship. To you be your way, and to me mine.
Surah Al-Kafiroon
The Quaid-i-Azams Vision
All Pakistanis are Equal:
Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic State to be ruled by priests with adivine mission. We have many non-Muslims Hindus, Christians, and Parsis
but they are all Pakistanis. They will enjoy the same rights and privilegesas any other citizens and will play their rightful part in the affairs of
Pakistan.

the Government freely, independently, honestly which is an education forany Government.

the Ministry or the officials. Reply to welcome address, Edwardes College, Peshawar,
