The Quaid tormented on the last day of his life!

From "Jinnah Creator of Pakistan" by Hector Bolitho, first published in 1954

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude: Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude." --- --- King Lear by William Shakespeare.

This was the first act of treason committed in the history of Pakistan and nobody is even curious to find out who perpetrated it.
