Pakistanis deserve this program and this talk 1000% more than hindus do ... because Pakistanis really need to know what a gem Hazrat Jinnah was, a gift from God Almighty and was armed with Iqbal's ideology. Being a modern man, how deep views he had of Islam and its teachings ... his answers to very difficult questions were so fluent that they had his rivals fall for him ... like in English court where the judge himself fell for him in admiration. Do we deserve him today ?
