Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Last message

It was therefore, with a sense of supreme satisfaction at the fulfillment of his mission that Jinnah told the nation in his last message on 14 August,1948
"The foundation of your state have been laid and it is now for you to build and build quickly as you can."
In accomplishing the task he had taken upon himself on the morrow of Pakistan's birth. Jinnah had worked himself to death, but he had to quote Richard Symons, "Contributed more than any other man to Pakistan's survival."
He died on 11 september,1948. How true was Lord Pethick Lawrence, the former secretary of State for India, when he said, "Gandhi died by the hand of an assassin, Jinnah died by his devotion to Pakistan."
