Nation in Ruins, Cadillac, Aircraft, and Lincoln in View: Jinnah’s Leadership Examined
By Nasim YousafSince 1947, Pakistan has faced a tumultuous history marked by political upheavals, economic difficulties, corruption, and instability, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah serving as the inaugural Governor General. The letters reveal Jinnah’s pursuit of a Cadillac super-limousine, a Lincoln, and a Beechcraft Model 34 airplane, indicating a disconnect with the nation’s crisis. Facing Pakistan’s financial crisis and a scarcity of parts and servicing facilities, the planned acquisition of aircraft and a Lincoln car had to be abandoned. Jinnah’s opulent lifestyle, devoid of personal sacrifice, inspired a societal pursuit of wealth among politicians and the public. To sum up, the ambassador and Jinnah’s letters serve as poignant reminders that reversing the challenging conditions in the nation requires a departure from opulence and a demand for leadership accountability.

PPP in contact with smaller parties for election cooperation
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is in contact with smaller parties for election cooperation in the general elections and beyond. PPP leaders told The Nation that the party was relying on smaller parties to possibly form the next government. “The PPP leadership, at this point, is not looking for cooperation with the bigger parties (like the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz and the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf). At the conclusion of the elections, we may have to join hands with the bigger parties too but the preference is the smaller parties. Another PPP leader said the PPP expects to gain majority in the National Assembly with the help of the smaller parties as it will be ‘difficult’ to maintain a relationship with bigger parties in a coalition government.
