 According to Singh , " With Jinnah 's death Pakistan lost its moorings . In India there will not easily arrive another Gandhi , nor in Pakistan another Jinnah . " Malik writes , " As long as Jinnah was alive , he could persuade and even pressure regional leaders toward greater mutual accommodation , but after his death , the lack of consensus on the distribution of political power and economic resources often turned controversial . " According to Mohiuddin , " Jinnah 's death deprived Pakistan of a leader who could have enhanced stability and democratic governance ... The rocky road to democracy in Pakistan and the relatively smooth one in India can in some measure be ascribed to Pakistan 's tragedy of losing an incorruptible and highly revered leader so soon after independence .
