Quaid e Azam as the Governor General of Pakistan

  Quaid e Azam worked towards establishing Pakistan as a single and united country. He stressed at the need of everyone in Pakistan to work together, stay united and to create a strong nation. He opposed religious intolerance, provincialism and racialism. He was determined that Pakistan should be seen as a land based upon tolerance in Islamic ideas, justice and equality. He ordered that any non Muslims who chose to remain in Pakistan should be treated fairly and not persecuted.

   The civil services were recognized in order to run the administration smoothly; the civil services rules were drafted. He informed the government officials that they were the servants of the people and not the rulers of the country. They worked with their national spirit.

  Quaid also reached a compromise with India in the Canal Water Dispute which ensured that Pakistan’s agriculture would not be denied from their right of precious water supplies through the rivers of Punjab. Although Pakistan’s army was ill-equipped, Quid was not afraid to use it and the army saw its first action to support Kashmiries, despite being outnumbered and having inferior arms and ammunition, it stood up well and held its own in fighting liberating some part of Kashmir in 1948 which is known as Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan became an independent country in 1947 with multiple problems but the wisdom of Quaid helped to solve these issues just within a short time.
