Please don't fall prey to false propaganda. Our opponents
have nothing solid to say against us. They opposed Quaid-i-Azam and
supported the Hindus. They cannot now concede to you that they are the
people who actually exploited you and stood in the way of your progress.
Of course, they themselves have prospered but they have ruined the
country. For you they created miseries and inflicted poverty upon the
people. They have betrayed you during the last 23 years which is not a
short period. Every nation aspires to be free during her slavery because
it wants to prosper and progress. The progress of a nation means the
betterment of the lot of the common man. In Pakistan, the majority of
the people, the workers and the farmers are becoming poorer every day.
Our opponents who are responsible for this state of affairs and have
exploited the common man will never accept the responsibility for their
misdeeds. They can only try to cover their exploitation behind the
slogan of 'Islam in danger.' They never can explain how Islam is in
danger.
We do not want any foreign system to be introduced in
Pakistan. We do not stand for the Russian, the Chinese, the British or
the American system. We want a Pakistani system. We shall serve the
cause of Islam and enable the Muslims to prosper. Today, Muslims are
dying of hunger. The prices are up and income down. Bribery is rampant.
The situation is worsening. How can the cause of Islam be served under
these circumstances? We want to serve the cause of Islam by enabling the
Muslims to prosper and progress. We want the children of the poor to be
educated. We want to establish hospitals for the treatment of the poor.
We want to provide housing for the common roan.
Of course, we want that a constitution should be framed,
but we have tried two constitutions already. We will again frame a
constitution but a constitution cannot by itself satisfy the hunger and
the need for education. If you do not have anything to eat you cannot
eat the constitution. If you have nothing to wear, you cannot wear the
constitution. The constitution cannot give you employment or housing or
education. It cannot be a substitute for a mill, a house, or a school
or a hospital. It is only a fundamental law. |
|
We stand for this fundamental law, but it alone cannot
solve problems. The two constitutions tried during the last 23 years
could not do it. A third constitution will be framed because it is a
legal requirement. There is no difference of opinion or conflict in so
far as the question of constitution-making is concerned. We all believe
in democracy in politics. We have struggled against dictatorship because
we want to establish the people's rule. We all want a constitution, but
at the same time we want to eradicate poverty and hunger from the
country. |
