Quaid’s birthplace: Sindh Culture Minister Sassui Palijo informed the Sindh Assembly that her department was ready to initiate an inquiry to confirm that the birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was Jhirk in Thatta district.

Responding to a question, she said a team of Sindh’s writers and intellectuals had carried out a research in mid-1990s in this regard. The team had visited Jhirk and met the families living there since a long time, and consulted textbooks printed in the 1950s, she added. She said the team had come to conclusion that the birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam was Jhirk.

It was found that the general register of the primary school in Jhirk that showed the town as the birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam was misplaced, she added.

The textbook in which Jhirk was mentioned as Quaid-e-Azam’s birthplace was written by Dr Umar Bin Daudpoto, and Quaid-e-Azam’s sister Fatima Jinnah was also alive at the time when the book was a part of the primary education syllabus, she said. She added that at the time of Quaid-e-Azam’s birth, Thatta was a part of Karachi, and Wazir Mansion was built six years after Quaid-e-Azam’s birth.

Every few years there is an attempt by vested interests to create doubts among Pakistanis about Mr. Jinnah’s birthplace. There is of course no doubt that he was born in Karachi, but the detractors say that he was born in Jherruck (near Thatta). I have studied this matter in detail, and the only basis for it is that someone (I think it was the late Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah, PPP MNA from Thatta) inserted in Sindhi textbooks the disinformation about the founder of Pakistan being born in Jherruck. His aim of course was to make Jherruck a place of pilgrimage so that its infrastructure would be improved, roads and schools would be built and tourism in the region would increase.

Some years ago, during BB’s second stint in power, this controversy was raised by those who apparently think Mr. Jinnah was out of his senses when he said he was born in Karachi (and this was the main reason for selecting Karachi as the capital of Pakistan). Even his two sisters (Ms Fatima Jinnah and Ms Shirin Jinnah) said many times that Karachi was the great man’s birthplace.

But just because of a single textbook which said otherwise, Ms Humera Alwani, PPP legislator has presented a bill to declare Jherruck as the birthplace of the Quaid. My question is, why wasn’t this issue raised when Mr. Jinnah and his associates were alive or when the Quaid’s official biography was published in the nineteen fifties? Why didn’t Sindhi MNAs and MPAs object when BB herself said that Karachi was the city in which the Quaid was born? And finally, why are they ignoring the many English and Urdu textbooks in Pakistan which confirm this?

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these days someone builds a tomb in Jherruck and claims that the Quaid is buried there (and not in the mausoleum in Karachi)! Anything is possible in Pakistan.

THATTA, March 18: People’s Party Parliamentarians MPA Humaira Alwani, has commended a statement of Sindh Minister for Education Dr Hamida Khuhro that Jherruk was the actual birthplace of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and said that relevant authorities should accept truth and officials rectify the historical record.

Talking to this correspondent here on Friday, she claimed that the minister, a well-known academician and intellectual, in response to her adjournment motion of March 17, had asserted that Jherruk was the birthplace of the founder of Pakistan.

She maintained that from June 1957 to 1970, the curriculum of the Sindhi Adabi Board, Karachi, showed the town as the birthplace of the Quaid, and that a book ‘Anwaar Mufti’, compiled by the National Book Foundation, also supported the same.
