You copied the first few paragraphs of this article without giving any credit like it was your own writing. Plagiarism much?

But an article published on Jul 26, 2014, without any references, in a publication with a known bent for secularism in Pakistan is not a credible source for this quote. In fact, this makes it even more suspicious. A credible source would be a credible history book where this quote originally appears. Or a historical news piece when this news was actually published in the late 1940s or something similar.

And BTW, I did not "request" for a source, I "demanded" it; so that the credibility of this claim is established, and if not, then a false quote attributed to Quaid-e-Azam is exposed. And As it stands right now, the latter is getting credence.
