One day when Jinnah was in Lahore, Iftikhar-ud-din, Pakistan’s rehabilitation minister, and Mazhar Ali Khan, editor of Pakistan Times,
flew him in a Dakota over divided Punjab. When he saw streams of people
pouring into Pakistan or fleeing it, he struck his hand on the forehead
and said despairingly: “What have I done?” Both Iftikhar and Mazhar
vowed not to repeat the remark. Mazhar took his wife Tahira into
confidence and told her what Jinnah had said, and she communicated
Jinnah’s comment to me long after her husband’s death.
