With the shifting of the capital to Islamabad, foreign dignitaries’ formal visits to the mausoleum of the Quaid-i-Azam have stopped. This means they now don’t even know the name of the Founder of Pakistan.
We are not ashamed of this and have become indifferent. I tell Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, “if you think you are a follower of the Quaid-i-Azam, do anything possible to reverse the trend. Please build a replica of the Quaid-i-Azam’s mazar in Islamabad to take dignitaries to pay homage to the Quaid-i-Azam!”
