That the horror was deeper than the ideals or ambitions of the leaders was ironically demonstrated when they tried to stop it. Mohamed Ali Jinnah urged restraint, but the killing did not cease.

All was now ready for the Pooh-Bah of Pakistan, in whose austere person are combined the offices of Governor General, President of the Constituent Assembly and President of the Moslem League. With proper crustiness, Mohamed Ali Jinnah strode up the steps with his sister Fatima. He was wearing a white achkan (long coat), grey fur "Jinnah cap" and a monocle.
