When Ayub Khan the first usurper seemed invincible, it was Madar-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah who decided to challenge the might of the dictator by contesting the presidential elections in 1965. It was a lawyer who told me that he had himself fixed it to show support for the candidature of Ms Jinnah. Had she won the election, Jinnah’s Pakistan could have been saved. She corrected the derailment of the country, held elections and transferred power through free and fair elections and gracefully went home. Ms Fatima Jinnah tried to end the derailment of the country founded by her elder brother Muhammad Ali Jinnah but her efforts were thwarted by the usurper.
