I did not kill that man. My God is aware of it. I am
big enough to admit if I had done it, that
admission would have been less of an ordeal and
humiliation than this barbarous trial which no self
respecting man can endure. I am a Muslim. A
Muslim's fate is in the hands of God Almighty I can
face Him with a clear conscience and tell Him that I
rebuilt His Islamic State of Pakistan from ashes into
a respectable Nation. I am entirely at peace with my
conscience in this black hole of Kot Lakhpat. I am
not afraid of death. You have seen what fires I have
passed through.
