Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, had a vision in which all citizens of Pakistan &#8211; including those belonging to religious minorities \u2013 would enjoy the same rights of freedom, equality and justice.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In his first speech, Imran Khan said he would not live in the Prime Minister&#8217;s residence in order to reduce expenses. He is also taking a firm stand against corruption, asking mass media and the offices of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to report any corruption among members of his political party immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fr. Qaisar Feroz OFM, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Communications Commission in the Catholic Episcopal Conference in Pakistan, commented: &#8220;If Imran Khan manages to do it, there will be a big change in the history of Pakistan and it will be a success of his government&#8221;.
