I've finally bought Mubarak Ali's argument that trying to regain Jinnah's Pakistan is a retrogressive obsession since we're clearly assuming that we cannot create a new social contract, state structure and ideology ourselves. Jinnah died on September 11, 1948 but his corpse was dug up and lynched on 12 March, 1949 when the Objectives Resolution was passed.
Let's move on.
1.Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone but He has delegated it to the State of Pakistan through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him as a sacred trust.
2.The State shall exercise its powers and authority through the chosen representatives of the people.
3.The principles of democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance and social justice, as enunciated by Islam, shall be fully observed.
4.Muslims shall be enabled to order their lives in the individual and collective spheres in accordance with the teachings of Islam as set out in the Qur'an and Sunnah.
5.Adequate provision shall be made for the minorities to freely profess and practice their religions and develop their cultures.
6.Pakistan shall be a federation.
7.Fundamental rights shall be guaranteed.
8.The judiciary shall be independent.[1]
