ISLAMABAD-

The death anniversary of Madre Millat Mohtarma Fatimah Jinnah was observed on Wednesday with reverence and respect.

Various political parties and women’s wings of many organizations arranged seminars and conferences for this occasion and highlighted the services rendered by Fatima Jinnah.

Fatima Jinnah was a dental surgeon, and one of the leading founders of Pakistan.

A strong critic of the British Raj, she emerged as a strong advocate of the two nation theory and a leading member of the All-India Muslim League.

After the independence of Pakistan, Jinnah co-founded the Pakistan Women’s Association which significantly played an integral role in the settlement of the migrants in the newly formed country.

After the death of her brother Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, she continued to remain a prominent philanthropist, but did not remain politically active until 1965 when she participated in the presidential election against military dictator Ayub Khan, only to lose the primary because of election rigging by the military.

After battling a long illness, Jinnah died on in Karachi on 9 July 1967.

She remains one of the most honoured leaders in Pakistan. Her legacy is associated with her support for civil rights, her struggle in Pakistan Movement and her devotion to her brother.

Referred as Mader-e Millat and Khatoon-e Pakistan, many institutions and public spaces have been named in her honour.

    • Stupid she did not hate any one but she stood against an army dictator at a time, when he was feared by most men and politicians. She was a daring political leader and one of the leading protagonist of Pakistan movement. Do not curse the great lady, if you have any manners. Why this comment is allowed by the editorial board. Are they all sleeping.

    • Your mother ass hole. I have lost my patience, what kind of language is this. Where did you go to school. Perhaps you never attended any school and learned any manners.

  1. After reading the above non parliamentary comments by the two educated persons I have postponed-ed to post any comments.
