Yes, it is true. Mohammad Ali Jinnah (Urdu: ãÍãÏ Úáی ÌäÇÍ, Sindhi: ãÍãÏ Úáí ÌíڻÇ, Audio (help·info)); December 25, 1876 – September 11, 1948) was a 20th century lawyer, politician, statesman and the founder of Pakistan. He is popularly and officially known in Pakistan as Quaid-e-Azam (Urdu: ÞÇÆÏ ÇÚÙã — "Great Leader") and Baba-e-Qaum (ÈÇÈÇÆÿ Þæã) ("Father of the Nation"). Pakistanis view Jinnah as their revered founding father, a man that was dedicated to safeguarding Muslim interests during the dying days of the British Raj. Despite any of a range of biases, it almost impossible to doubt, despite motive and manner, that there is any figure that had more influence and role in the creation of Pakistan than Jinnah. Jinnah is popularly and officially known in Pakistan as Quaid-e-Azam (Urdu: ÞÇÆÏ ÇÚÙã — "Great Leader") and Baba-e-Qaum (ÈÇÈÇÆÿ Þæã) ("Father of the Nation"). His birthday is a national holiday in Pakistan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah Aug 03 10, 7:22 PM
