Muhammad Ali Jinnah(ra) was born in a Shia family of Shia Ismaili background. Later , when he became a bit more religious, he converted to Isna-Ashari Shia......later , when he became even more religious , he converted to mainstream Sunni Islam of the Hanfi mazhab...and I am sure he had profound respect for the Deobandi Ulema , otherwise he wouldn't have requested a Deobandi Alim to unfurl the flag of Pakistan and also to lead his Namaz-e-Janazah.

However , some Shias tried to hijack his Janzah by waving Alams ( Shia banners ) during his funeral.
