He said that that Iqbal’s address of Allahabad and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s presidential address at the Lahore Resolution session 1940, explicitly explain ideology of Pakistan. Dr. Fakhr said that adherence to ideology of Pakistan enabled us to get a separate homeland, and it can guarantee the strengthening of Pakistan.
