Pakistan was created in the name of Islam, and was supposed to be a nation ruled by Sharia.
End of story.
If Pakistan was supposed to be a nation ruled by Islamic
Sharia then why was a
Hindu (Jogendra Lal Mandal) appointed as the first Law Minister of Pakistan by Jinnah ?
If Jinnah wanted to establish a state ruled by Sharia, then why were there no scholars/aalims/muftis/mullahs in his team ??
As pointed out by Shabir Choudhary:
1. Mohammed Ali Jinnah became Governor General of Pakistan;
2. Sir Frederick Bourne was appointed the Governor of East Pakistan;
3. Sir Francis Mudie the Governor of Punjab;
4. Sir George Cunningham the Governor of N.W.F.P;
5. Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah, the Governor of Sindh;
6. General Sir Frank Messervey Chief of the Pakistan Army;
7. Air Vice-Marshal Perry-Keane Chief of the Pakistan Air Force;
8. Admiral Jefford the Chief of Pakistan Navy;
9. Financial Advisor to Mohammed Ali Jinnah was Sir Archibald Rowland;
10. Liaquat Ali Khan Prime Minister, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defense;
11. In December Chaudhry Zafarullah Khan was appointed Foreign Minister and Commonwealth relations;
12. I. Chundrigar Minister for Commerce, Industries and Works;
13. Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar Minister for Communications;
14. Raja Ghazanfar Ali Minister for Food, Agriculture and Health;
15. Jogendra Nath Mandal Minister for Labour and Law;
16. Ghulam Muhammad Minister for Finance;
17. Fazlur Rahman Minister for Interior, Information and Education
18. Mohammed Ali Jinnah also asked many skilled British technocrats to stay and serve in the Pakistani government.
In the very first meeting of the Cabinet a special resolution was passed that Mohammed Ali Jinnah will also help ministers in policy making; and in case of a difference of opinions his decision was to be final. In other words, he had absolute power in running Pakistan.
I would like you to look at the above list and decide if this team was suitable to establish Islamic Sharia?
