Abstract: Miss Fatima Jinnah in Mymensingh and Narayanganj (East Pakistan) on March 1–2, 1954. She thanks the people of Mymensingh for their reception and discipline, recalling Quaid‑i‑Azam’s 1936 election tour of East Bengal when the Muslim League first fought as a party. She stresses that unity is essential for progress and that Pakistan’s independence is at stake. She praises constitutional methods as effective, urges hard work, selfless devotion, and faith. She argues that the Muslim League is the only organised party capable of voicing the people’s will; breaking it would create chaos. She advises the people to support, reorganise, and revitalise the Muslim League, and warns against deserting it at a critical moment. In Narayanganj, she describes the Muslim League as the symbol of the nation’s spirit and sacrifices, emphasising indissoluble ties of blood, culture, and religion.
