“Nations that forget their heroes lose their moral compass. Pakistan seems dangerously close to that line.”
Pakistani Land Mafia Take Over The Father of Nation’s Property
When nations forget their benefactors, even their heritage becomes vulnerable. This is precisely what has happened with the personal properties of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan. Despite his unmatched contributions, some of his valuable assets have fallen into the hands of the land mafia, with authorities remaining silent. This report brings to light the shocking truth about the illegal occupation and commercialization of properties that once belonged to Quaid-e-Azam. These lands, intended for national use or protected under his name, are now being used for private businesses, residential projects, and other commercial ventures all carried out by powerful land grabbers.
Stolen Legacy: The Quiet Takeover
In the city of Lahore, several plots of land that once belonged to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah have been taken over illegally. These lands were meant to be used for the benefit of the public or protected in his name. But instead, powerful people have built shopping centers, hospitals, and apartment buildings on them. The land includes plots numbered 551-R3, 311, 310, and 300, covering about 38 kanals (nearly 5 acres). These properties are now worth billions of rupees, but they have been taken over without any legal right and the government has done nothing to stop it.
Forged Documents Forgotten Justice
The mafia didn’t just occupy land they rewrote history. Using fake ownership papers and exploiting bureaucratic loopholes, they legalized theft in broad daylight. In some cases, official documents bear suspicious signatures and manipulated entries and yet, the system stays silent. For over 8 years, not a single authoritative step has been taken to reclaim these assets. The land records remain manipulated, and those benefiting from them continue expanding their empires unchecked.
The Land Details
The properties mentioned include:
- Plot numbers 551-R3, 311, 310, and 300 located in Lahore.
- These plots collectively span over 38 kanals (around 4.75 acres) and were originally meant for welfare or national purposes.
- Now they host commercial plazas, luxury apartments, and private institutions.
How the Land Mafia Operates
The mafia allegedly uses forged papers and backdoor influence to transfer these lands into private hands. Some documents included in the report show questionable signatures and unclear ownership trails. With the help of officials in land revenue departments, these forgeries are legalized, leaving little chance for the state or citizens to challenge them. Even more disturbing is the revelation that some government officials are either complicit or deliberately turning a blind eye. Despite multiple reports, complaints, and even media coverage, no strong action has been taken to reclaim these national assets.
A National Shame
It is deeply disappointing that while Jinnah gave his life to create a homeland for Muslims of the subcontinent, his own properties in that very homeland are being misused and disrespected. This isn’t just an issue of property it reflects our collective failure to honor the legacy of our founding father.
Conclusion
This isn’t just about buildings or property. It’s about respect. About memory. About national character. Quaid-e-Azam’s life and possessions were devoted to Pakistan’s future. The least we can do is protect what remains of his legacy. We, as a nation, must rise above apathy and demand answers.
Time For Accountability
The Government of Pakistan Punjab Land Record Authority NAB & FIA Judiciary Civil society. To launch a full scale investigation into the illegal transfer and misuse of Quaid-e-Azam’s properties.
- The names must be exposed.
- The land must be returned.
- The shame must end.
Voice of Ali will continue to raise this issue until justice is served. If we fail to protect the legacy of the man who gave us this land, we lose the right to call ourselves its custodians.
