Muhammad Ali Jinnah<\/strong> (Urdu<\/a>: \u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u062c\u0646\u0627\u062d; also spelled Mohammad<\/strong> or Mahomed Ali Jinnah<\/strong>) (December 25<\/a>, 1876<\/a> \u2013 September 11<\/a>, 1948<\/a>) was an Indian<\/a> Muslim<\/a> politician<\/a> and statesman<\/a> who led the All India Muslim League<\/a> and founded Pakistan<\/a>, serving as its first Governor-General<\/a>.
