The Quaid e Azam is revered by all political parties and the army in Pakistan.

He was a secular leader whose first preference was to elicit special status for the Muslim League within a united India as being the sole representative of the Muslim community.

This was unacceptable to the Congress which had been secular in its outlook and had leaders from multiple religions. The Quaid e Azam was an accomplished lawyer and a great negotiator. He used the threat of creating Pakistan as a "stick" if his demands were not met. Unfortunately, the leaders of the Congress called his bluff since this seemed to be delaying the exit of the British from India. He was hence stuck with what he called a "moth eaten" Pakistan after partition.

Once having got Pakistan, he wanted it to be a secular state but he died within a year of it's creation. As a result, religious forces quickly adopted a resolution making Pakistan an Islamic republic and introduced a basis for subsequent misuse for intolerant agendas of some of it's most influential leaders.
