Minar-e-Pakistan. It marks the site where Quaid-e-Azam (Greatest Leader) Muhammad Ali Jinnah announced the acceptance by the Muslim League of the Lahore Resolution calling for the establishment for the Muslim State of Pakistan. Later, during his inaugural speech as Governor-General, Quaid-e-Azam said "You are free, free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state... and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State."
