Liaquat Ali Khan:
Early life:
You were born in a famous Nawab Jat family of Karnal.
Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan was the second son of Nawab Rustam Ali Khan. You
were born October 2, 1896. Your mother Mahmoud Mahmood Begum arranged for you
to study the Quran and Hadith at home. In 1918, he graduated from MAO College
Aligarh. In 1918, he married Jahangir Begum. After marriage you moved to the
United Kingdom, where you received a law degree from Oxford University.
Political life:
After returning from the UK in 1923, you decided to go into
politics to liberate your country from foreign domination. You joined the
Muslim League. In 1924, the Muslim League led by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah met in Lahore. The purpose of this meeting was to organize the Muslim
League again. Liaquat Ali Khan also participated in this meeting. In 1926 he
was elected a Member of the Legislative Assembly from Uttar Pradesh and remained
a member of the UP Assembly till he was elected a Member of the Central
Legislative Assembly in 1940. In 1932, he got married. Of Your second Begum
Begum Rana Liaquat Ali was an educationist and economist. You have been a great
helper to Liaquat Ali Khan's political life. There was no mention of the sub-inspector Muhammad Shah's
firing in the police report on the death of Syed Akbar. The purpose of the
conspiracy was to expose the police to negligence or collusion.
Assassination attacks:
In the light of events in Company Bagh Rawalpindi that evening of October 16, 1951, it is difficult to declare the murder of Liaquat Ali Khan as an individual offense. Countless questions can be raised about the events in Company Bagh immediately after the assassination of the Prime Minister.
- The Prime Minister's rally was attended by the Chief Minister and IG Police of the NWFP, but Punjab Chief Minister Mumtaz Dulatana, IG Police Kurban Ali Khan and DIG, CID Anwar Ali were missing. In fact, SP Najaf Khan, Rawalpindi's highest official of the police station, was in charge of the assembly. Pakistan Muslim League Secretary General Yousuf Khattak was in Pindi but was not present in the gathering.
- Upon hearing the sound of the bullet, Najaf Khan shouted in Pashto and said, 'Hit him'. Why did Najaf Khan use Pashtu instead of Punjabi in Pindi (Punjab)? Did they know the killer is Afghan? Inspector Mohammad Shah, who killed Syed Akbar on his orders, was also speaking Pashto. Can the district chief of the police remember in a state of emergency what languages his dozens of subordinates speak? Did not the experienced police officer Najaf Khan know that the prime minister attacker must be arrested alive?
- When Inspector Shah Muhammad fired one, not two, five bullets at Syed Akbar, then white-eyed Inspector Abrar Ahmed, along with the audience, had snatched the pistol from the killer and controlled it. Was Inspector Shah Muhammad interested in ending the killer instead of overcoming it?
- Akbar Liaquat Ali, son of Liaquat Ali, says that even though Syed Akbar was targeted, the real killer was someone else. He also says that Liaquat Ali Khan was shot from the back, not from the front. The Muslim League Guard at the rally broke out at the bears at Syed Akbar. He had dozens of spears on his body. This means that there were many armed men around the prime minister, which marked poor security arrangements.
- At the behest of Najaf Khan, the security guard opened fire in the air, which caused chaos in the gathering and prevented the injured Prime Minister from delivering medical help. The motive for the airstrike was not clear.
- SP Najaf Khan told the inquiry commission that he did not order aerial firing to his subordinates, but the SP sought response from his subordinates. The order to appear before the inquiry commission was October 29. However, the court ruled that the record was distorted. The original date was changed from November 20 to October 29, but the actual date below was clearly visible on November 20. Apparently, Najaf Khan decided to deny the firing order November 20. The alteration of official papers was a strong evidence of SP Najaf Khan's involvement in the conspiracy or at least professional misconduct.
- According to the Inquiry Commission, Najaf Khan had failed to fulfill his duties as a responsible police officer. In light of this judicial opinion, a court action was taken against Najaf Khan, but he was honored. The Prime Minister's meeting had no medical assistance for a possible emergency until an ambulance was available to take the injured to the hospital.
- There were indiscriminate firing on all sides and a few people were busy removing Syed Akbar in this fugitive. Some people picked up a decorative bouquet and threw it at Syed Akbar, which broke his ribs. In this chaos, the satisfaction of those who attacked Syed Akbar was astonishing.
- Syed Akbar wore a yellow Shalwar shirt. This was not a uniform movement. Immediately after the incident, how did the rumor spread that the killer was a Khaksar, but arrests of Khaksars were started all over the province. Was it a deliberate attempt to divert public outcry in a particular direction?
- Khwaja Nazimuddin Nethiya was in the street while Ghulam Muhammad was in Pindi. Both did not bother to attend the meeting. However, upon hearing of the assassination of the Prime Minister, the companions gathered for consultation. Mushtaq Gormani's car arrived at the conclave when the half-dead Prime Minister was being taken out of the assembly. As soon as the Prime Minister's death was confirmed, Gormani left his body at Khaki and left his house and did not come to the scene till the next day's burial in Karachi.
- Those who pondered the conspiracies of the conspiracy have pointed to the simultaneous distance from Rawalpindi of three main characters. Secretary Defense Alexander Mirza was playing tennis in Karachi. Army chief Ayub Khan was in a hospital in London and Foreign Secretary Ikramullah sat in the Netherlands on a special mission, awaiting further orders.
Murder investigation:
According to Ghulam Nabi Pathan (then Joint Secretary Muslim League), no FIR was registered or investigated, challan was presented or prosecuted for the murder of Liaquat Ali. There was a judicial inquiry involving Justice Munir and Akhtar Hussain, but the purpose of the inquiry was to look into the administrative negligence related to the murder rather than to determine the killers of Liaquat Ali Khan. According to Begum Liaquat Ali, the appointment of the commission was a deliberate or unintentional mistake of the government. As a result, police officers from Punjab and Border became busy in clearing allegations of negligence rather than focusing on the murder investigation. The results of the inquiry commission were very ambiguous and largely meaningless. For example :
- We cannot draw any conclusions based on the events described. The matter is under investigation. Investigating officers are considering several theories.
- Three conspiracies have been identified in this regard, two of which are related to each other and correspondence between the central and provincial governments regarding the third. We refrain from divulging details of these conspiracies because their disclosure is not in the public interest.
- Syed Akbar could not be identified with any conspiracy, however a competent police officer is busy investigating. We believe that one or two conspiracies will find out about Syed Akbar's connection.
- If Syed Akbar had been found alive, we were sure that we would have been able to find out the conspiracies of such a heinous crime.
