Indeed.
The universal opposition of virtually every significant religious group in Undivided India, indeed the entire Muslim religious establishment to Jinnah's Pakistan movement and the Muslim League cannot be reconciled with any idea of religious origins of Pakistan. This is just one of many paradoxes that anyone who thinks of that the true reason for the creation of Pakistan was to establish a religious 'Islamic state', must unravel.
Maulana Maududi, The Mullah in Chief and the most vociferous opponent of Mr. Jinnah and the Pakistan Movement had in fact himself admitted (before the creation of Pakistan) that Jinnah was not struggling for an Islamic Pakistan. From the Horse's mouth:
It was not clear either from any resolution of the Muslim League or from the speeches of any responsible League leaders, that the ultimate aim of Pakistan is the establishment of an Islamic government..... [Maududi, Muslims and Present Struggle, part three, p 131]
and
Not a single leader of the Muslim League, from Quad-i-Azam, downwards, has Islamic mentality and Islamic thinking or they see the things from Islamic point of view. [Ibid p 37]
This is exactly why the Objectives Resolution represents such a gross hijacking of Pakistan's founding ideals, as soon as Jinnah died. It must be repealed if Pakistan is to live up to its ideals.
