Correct Answer:
A. Quaid-e-Azam
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, is correctly identified as the founder of the English-language newspaper "Dawn." He launched "Dawn" in 1941 from Delhi, initially as a weekly, and later converted it into a daily newspaper. His primary objective was to provide a strong voice for the All-India Muslim League and to articulate the Muslim perspective on political developments during the struggle for independence. The newspaper played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and advocating for the creation of a separate Muslim state.
- Allama Iqbal was a philosopher and poet who envisioned Pakistan but did not found "Dawn."
- Liaqat Ali Khan was Pakistan's first Prime Minister but not the founder of the newspaper.
- Abul Kalam Azad was a prominent Indian nationalist and Congress leader, opposing the Muslim League's stance.
