This he said on Saturday while speaking as a chief guest in the Independence of Pakistan celebrations at St Joseph College Saddar.

Provincial Minister for Education & Culture Syed Sardar Shah, Minister Labour Saeed Ghani, Waqar Mahdi, Najmi Alam, Senator Laldean along with members of Catholic Board of Education received the CM on his arrival at the college.
Quoting from Quaid-i- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s speeches, the CM said “You are free; you are 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 stat.” he read out an other quote from Quaid’s speech “Today it would do us well to remember the words of the Quaid-E-Azam “Pakistan, which symbolises the aspirations of a nation that found itself in a minority in the Indian sub continent, can not be unmindful of the minorities within its own borders.”
