Liaquat Ali Khan as Prime Minister of Pakistan

Liaquat Ali Khan

         Liaquat Ali Khan worked as the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1947 – 1951. He worked along with Quaid- e-Azam, and even after his death. He was a capable PM who took care of the system of government and law-making. Due to his efforts constitutional problems were settled to some extent by implementing the amended version of the Government of India Act 1935. He was the one who documented the Objectives Resolution about the social, religious and cultural rights of the people of Pakistan. The resolution was a set of objectives for the next constitution of Pakistan.

          Liaquat Ali Khan supported Quaid-e-Azam regarding the matter of the refugee’s problem. He met the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and signed the Liaquat-Nehru pact in 1948 related to the rights of minorities in both societies of India and Pakistan. Free passage of refugees was also restricted and a visa system was introduced.

          During his era, he reconsidered the constitutional changes as well as introduced PRODA [Public Representatives and Officers Disqualification Act]. According to this system/act any representative or officer found guilty of corruption could be eliminated from his post by the court’s orders.

          In January 1951, General Gracey was replaced by General Ayub Khan. Many officers were still unhappy with the government and began to plan a coup to take over the government. In March 1951 this Rawalpindi Conspiracy was disclosed and the conspirators were arrested, tried and imprisoned. Among them was Major General Akbar Khan as well. It developed an enmity in some of the army men and the government. In result, Liaquat Ali Khan was shot dead by an assassin on 16th October 1951.
