Muslim League have ever passed any such resolution. You might have done so to catch a
few votes.” This is example of Situational Irony and Satire
• In a July 26, 2014 article, Anwar Iqbal, US correspondent and columnist for Dawn, wrote
that the aforementioned slogan (Pakistan ka matlab kya ...) was directly lifted from a poem
written by an obscure poet and schoolteacher, Asghar Sodai. This is example of Irony
• Jamal Malik and Andreas Reick both the authors add that these clerics and radicals tried to
corner Jinnah from all angles, calling him a “fake Muslim”, “leader of infidels” and a “British
agent.” This is example of Irony and Satire
• Jamal Malik writes that whereas the League’s message in the urban areas remained
consistent with its modernist Muslim ethos, the party allowed the co-option of some pro-
League clerics and Islamic scholars to counter the anti-Jinnah propaganda in Punjab’s
rural areas where the Muslims were under the sway of clerics and pirs. This is example of
Irony
