00:00 It's a very important day and it's the birthday of Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
00:04 Think about it, 1876.
00:06 How far does it take?
00:08 Imagine.
00:09 1876.
00:10 And his journey after that and his personality.
00:14 I've seen his pictures in Ashfaq Observational.
00:16 They're very old.
00:18 He was very well dressed.
00:20 He was very happy.
00:22 And in that time, his style, his mannerism,
00:27 so it's still relevant.
00:30 And the other thing is that you think about it,
00:32 in 1876, on the 25th of December,
00:34 in this very Karachi,
00:35 I like this relatability that
00:37 such a great personality
00:39 was born in this very place
00:41 where we are present today.
00:43 And Sadaf Abdul Jabbar is present here.
00:45 He was born in the area of Ghazir Mansion.
00:47 And after that, how he started his journey of life,
00:51 how he went to London for education,
00:53 and when the Muslims of Barasahir needed a leader
00:58 who could free them from the slavery of the British,
01:01 in such a situation, Allama Iqbal accepted him.
01:04 And then he came back.
01:05 And the journey after that, that is history.
01:07 At his time, he was considered the best lawyer.
01:10 His education was well-educated.
01:13 And this country, in which you say,
01:15 you consider yourself safe,
01:17 you don't know how great a blessing freedom is,
01:20 who has played a role in making you live in this country,
01:24 and only and only, Ashfaq,
01:26 through dialogue, through conversation,
01:29 through round-off meetings,
01:31 and through a tough situation.
01:33 And the second thing, Gauhar,
01:34 that you talked about,
01:35 that I got the opportunity to go to different places
01:38 through the ARY News,
01:40 which is, the way Sifat Bajira Shahi's house was,
01:43 and then you see,
01:44 in different places, in many places,
01:45 in the mosques,
01:46 the things that have been collected,
01:48 which gives an idea of the fashion sense,
01:50 dressing sense,
01:51 what kind of shoes the Quaid-e-Azam used to wear.
01:53 That is, a complete outfit,
01:55 is the symbol of a person's personality.
01:57 So, it is obvious that he was an individual personality.
02:00 That is why, the Hindu leaders were very afraid.
02:03 They were principled.
02:04 And we have only kept the principles in the books.
02:08 We don't even leave it.
02:10 We have principles,
02:11 sincerity,
02:13 to keep our word,
02:15 to keep a commitment with our word,
02:17 to keep the promise you make to someone,
02:19 we have kept these things in the books.
02:22 But Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
02:24 practically showed them,
02:27 and people used to say that this is impossible.
02:29 I mean, India, Pakistan,
02:31 when one day, when Bar-e-Sagheer, Pak-o-Hind,
02:33 when Bar-e-Sagheer used to come,
02:35 then it was said that,
02:37 we can get rid of the British,
02:39 but these two nations cannot be formed.
02:41 Which is good.
02:43 So, the thing is that,
02:44 today, every year on 25th December,
02:47 this day is celebrated with great respect and devotion.
02:50 So, the events in Karachi,
02:51 the crux of the events are in Karachi.
02:54 So, here, at Mazar-e-Khaid,
02:56 we were seeing this earlier.
02:58 what a spectacle it is.
02:59 So, Ishrat Khan is telling us about this.
03:02 So, Ishrat, tell us,
03:03 what all scenes have you seen since morning?
03:05 The event has been held on the occasion of the change of guards.
03:08 Mashallah, you are also present there.
03:10 Tell us about this.
03:11 Yes, Ishrat, I am present in front of Mazar-e-Khaid.
03:16 And you have seen,
03:17 in fact, you have seen it yourself,
03:18 that the guards are being changed.
03:20 The officials of three different parties are present here.
03:25 And today, all the leaders of the political party,
03:28 the leaders of the religious party,
03:30 the different people will visit here,
03:33 will give a presentation,
03:34 will make a Fatihah.
03:36 If I tell you,
03:37 who all will visit today,
03:39 today, the retired minister of Sindh,
03:41 Mr. Makbul Bakir will visit.
03:45 Apart from this,
03:46 Mr. Kamran Khan Tesori will visit.
03:49 If I talk about Karachi,
03:51 then Muftazah Wahab will be present here,
03:53 will give a Fatihah.
03:54 After that, it is also being said by the people,
03:56 that this will be opened for the people.
03:58 And all day, different people will come here and visit,
04:01 will give a Fatihah.
04:02 Yes, the special thing is that,
04:04 the soldiers of the three parties,
04:08 are reading the Quran inside,
04:10 are reciting the Suphara.
04:12 And after that,
04:13 when the army will present their salami,
04:16 all the things will be there,
04:17 then we will be allowed to go inside the shrine.
04:20 The media representatives are outside the shrine.
04:23 No, I just...
04:25 Hello.
04:26 Yes, yes, we can hear you.
04:28 Now, all the media representatives are outside.
04:33 And all the things,
04:34 like you said,
04:35 the salami is going on,
04:36 the guards are being changed,
04:38 the teak cover will be done.
04:40 The people are saying that,
04:41 the teak cover will be done.
04:43 And after that,
04:44 all the other political leaders,
04:46 will visit here and give a Fatihah.
04:49 Okay, so Ishrat Khan has told us in detail,
04:52 what will happen after this.
04:53 The change of the guards,
04:55 the change of the guards,
04:56 we saw that a while ago.
04:58 And we were talking about the Al-Qaeda,
05:00 a lot of books have been written.
05:02 And internationally,
05:03 the writers, they are so curious.
05:05 And we see that,
05:06 those books have been written on them.
05:08 And I request you people,
05:10 that if you have time,
05:12 then read such historical books,
05:14 which tell you about your roots,
05:17 which tell you how your country was achieved,
05:19 tell you about its struggle.
05:21 In that, all the sources you can get,
05:23 books that are available,
05:24 read them, understand them,
05:26 so that you have an idea,
05:27 that in which country,
05:28 you think that this is not there,
05:30 that is not there,
05:31 but how much effort has been made to make it.
05:33 How many people have been sacrificed,
05:34 and the migration that took place,
05:36 how many sacrifices were made in that,
05:38 and how many lives were lost.
05:39 Without knowing this,
05:40 you cannot know the value and value of freedom.
05:44 Okay, in different places,
05:45 and in some places,
05:46 there have been talks in the embassies,
05:48 here, the German Consul General,
05:50 wearing the Pakistani flag,
05:52 presented the Khairaj-e-Aqeedah,
05:54 and says that Muhammad Ali Jinnah,
05:56 made a great history.
05:57 So, Salahuddin has prepared a report on this.
06:00 Muhammad Salahuddin will show you.
06:02 Today, we have with us,
06:04 cameraman Shahzad Memon,
06:06 Bahumus Salahuddin,
06:07 ARY News, Karachi.
06:09 But it is said that time did not show loyalty,
06:12 and in just one year,
06:14 hardly after one year,
06:16 he passed away.
06:17 Otherwise, there were many things,
06:20 until then, Pakistan had not even made a sign.
06:22 So, there were many things,
06:23 which could guide us.
06:26 It is possible that the direction of Pakistan was different.
06:29 We are in a positive direction.
06:31 Today, we can compete with other countries.
06:34 So, there are many things,
06:36 which can be taken advantage of.
06:38 We can still take advantage of the vision,
06:39 if we want to.
06:40 So, that's the thing.
