MCQ

Solution

Mohammad Ali Jinnah 

Explanation:

We should start working in that spirit, and over time, all the angularities between the majority and minority communities, the Hindu and Muslim communities - because among Muslims, there are Pathans, Punjabis, Shias, Sunnis, and so on, and among Hindus, there are Brahmins, Vaishnavas, Khatris, as well as Bengalees, Madrasis, and so on - will fade.... You are free to go to your temples, mosques, or any other site of worship in this State of Pakistan. You can be of any religion, caste, or creed - it has nothing to do with the State's business. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Presidential Address to Pakistan's Constituent Assembly in Karachi, 1947.
