Critical Analysis of the
Weakness and Strength of
Objective Resolution
• Objectives resolution is the most important
yet the most controversial document in the
history of Pakistan
• It was put forward by Liaquat Ali Khan in 1949
to determine the base for the constitution of
Pakistan
• Liaquat Ali Khan called it "the most important
occasion in the life of this country, next in
importance only to the achievement of
independence“
• But the non-Muslim members of the assembly
vigorously opposed it, and all of them voted
against it.
Strengths of Objective Resolution
• Role of Constituent Assembly in framing of
Constitution
• Exercise of Powers through chosen
representatives
• Fundamental rights will be provided
• Independence of Judiciary
Weak Points of Objectives Resolution
• Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone
• The principles of democracy, freedom,
equality, tolerance and social justice, as
enunciated by Islam, shall be fully observed
• Muslims shall be enabled to order their lives
in the individual and collective spheres in
accordance with the teachings of Islam as set
out in the Quran and Sunnah.
Quaid’s Vision
• On 11 August 1947, Quaid-e-Azam said “You
may belong to any religion, cast or creed that
has nothing to do with the business of state”
• He also stated that “We are starting with this
Fundamental principal that we are all equal
citizens of one state”
Conclusion
• In short objective resolution was passed but not
passed by the Non-Muslim members of assembly
and that was a big question mark on Liaqat Ali
Khan, his cabinet and other Muslim members of
assembly. They failed to satisfy the objections of
Non-Muslims and due to this many controversies
started. Pakistan became an Islamic state as
theocrats had their wishes fulfilled and the idea
of Jinnah’s vision of a peaceful, liberal,
democratic Pakistan was buried in history.
