Quaid-i-Azam believed that the partition of India and the emergence of Pakistan should commence in an unambiguous manner and that no preconditions be laid down with this prime objective for the Muslims had struggled so hard.

Cont… He, therefore rejected the proposal of having ajoint Governor-General for Pakistan and India. Muslim League also rejected this proposal and decided to appoint the Quaid-i-Azam as a first Governor-General of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam reached Karachi on 7th August, 1947 where he was given a tremendous welcome. Lord Mountbatten announced the establishment of the Government of Pakistan on 15th August, 1947 in Assembly Building at Karachi.

Cont.. The Quaid-i-Azam took oath as the first Governor General of Pakistan on 15th August, 1947 the last Friday of Holy month of Ramazan . The national Flag with the crescent and the Star was unfurled. Cabinet was sworn in and Pakistan was born.
