Message to the Annual Session of the Punjab Muslim Students’ Federation, held at Rawalpindi, on 7th and 8th March, 1942

Muslim Students “You have to take Reins in Your Hands Tomorrow”

“I assure you that my heart is with you and that I am doing my bit for the uplift of the Musalmans and for the cause that is dear to us all. I hope that you will also continue to do the good work that you all are doing.

I have no doubt that under the presidentship of Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman and with the presence of all the other leaders that will no doubt assemble there, your annual session will be a great success”.

“We have made efforts to take our women with us in our struggle and in many places that I visited they took enormous interest and participated in various functions and gatherings. We have to carry on and maintain the policy and the programme of the All-India Muslim League on a political plan.”

“Apart from the political programme, the urgent and the immediate need for us is to take steps and put into effect the economic, social and educational programme which was laid down by the resolution of the All-India Muslim League at Lucknow. It is the economic and social uplift and the education of the people that constitute the true foundation of a nation or a community.”

“I will now say a word to Muslim youth. Remember that you have to take the reins of what is being done today in your hands tomorrow. Have you, therefore, trained yourselves, disciplined yourselves and equipped yourselves enough to shoulder the responsibilities that will fall on you? If not go ahead and do it today. This is the proper time and I wish you every success.”
