Wazir Mansion is a building, located in the Kharadar neighbourhood of Karachi in the Sindh province of Pakistan. Wazir Mansion may be the birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Some believe Jhirk, a town in Sindh, to be his birth place as mentioned in the old textbooks. Hence, controversy surrounds to that. It now serves as a museum and national archive. The house has been declared a protected national monument by the Government of Pakistan.^[1]
