Abstract: This file of speeches and messages delivered by Miss Fatima Jinnah around 1950. Her Idul‑Fitr message expresses concern for uprooted refugees who cannot share the joy of the festival, warns of a “disastrous volcano” in world politics, and calls for self‑determination for all peoples, invoking Quaid‑i‑Azam’s qualities of courage and determination. Her speech to the Pakistan Medical Association criticizes the slow progress in establishing new medical institutions, the lack of a tuberculosis hospital and dental college, and the deteriorating health of the nation; she appeals for doctors to serve in rural areas and for the development of pharmaceutical industries. A policy speech urges nationalisation of services, vigilance against foreign interference, and galvanising youth to fulfill Quaid‑i‑Azam’s dream. Her broadcast on the second anniversary of Quaid‑i‑Azam’s death (September 1950) reflects on his last message to build Pakistan quickly, calls for honest stock‑taking, prioritises refugee rehabilitation and Kashmir’s liberation, and inspires youth to shoulder future responsibilities.
