   Recent meeting of Pakistani Prime minister and President Trump brings up the   
   1947 contact with the U.S. secretary of state George Marshall.    
      
   Deviation from the vision of its founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah has disturbed the   
   peace and prosperity of south Asia. Since the partition of British India in   
   1947, Pakistan has nationalized Islam and stagnated in its political and   
   economic development.    
   Islamic holy war against humanity is the underlying cause of unending social   
   conflict and violence. Until freedom of religion becomes the law of the land   
   there cab be no real lasting progress. The higher vision of Mr. Jinnah must   
   not be forgotten.    
      
   Exurb from Mr. Jinnah's 1947 address to the newly formed government of   
   Pakistan:    
      
   Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go   
   to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or   
   worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or   
   creed that has    
   nothing to do with the business of the State. As you know, history shows that   
   in England, conditions, some time ago, were much worse than those prevailing   
   in India today. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants persecuted each other.   
   Even now there are    
   some States in existence where there are discriminations made and bars imposed   
   against a particular class. Thank God, we are not starting in those days. We   
   are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction   
   between one community    
   and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are   
   starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal   
   citizens of one State.
