Yes indeed We all should be thankful to Jinnah.
I am also thankful to my forefathers, who made it possible with the money, time and efforts under Jinnah to create Pakistan.
I had two photographs of my Dad with Jinnah, which I sadly lost due to extensions work in my house. Otherwise I would have shared it here.
In one photograph my then very young Dad, around the age of 6/7 sitting in the feet of Jinnah, who was seated in the chairs along with my Grand Dad in My Granddad's House.
The second photographs is of my young Dad in his early twenties, standing with Jinnah in a group of young volunteers supporting riffles. He was part of a group that protected the migrant to Lahore at the time of Partition from the attacks of Hindus and Sikhs.
I am proud to say, my Dad practically had hand in saving thousands of Muslims lives, while bravely risking his.
