the difference of religion in the service of the country, and we shall find ourselves working together, side by side and shoulder to shoulder, in all nooks and corners of the country, and through such work attain a common nationhood, and take our rightful place in representative institutions, in local bodies and in legislatures according to the service we render to our fellow creatures.
I beg the House, therefore, and the people outside the country to view this problem only from one angle, namely, the interest of Pakistan. It is so easy to mislead our people who are prepared to sacrifice everything in the way of Islam, to mislead them in the name of Islam. It is so easy to excite passion, so easy to kindle fires, so easy to destroy, so difficult to build, that I would beg of those who are utilizing this controversy, for the sake of opposition, not to fan the flames of fanaticism and bigotry and hatred but to pause and build Pakistan on the solid foundation of trust and unity between all the peoples inhabiting this beloved country of ours.
I commend my motion to the house...
