Re: Fatima Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan
Specifically, Quaid’s Pakistan broke up in 1949 when Objective Resolution was passed. It then became a Pakistan of Maududis, and waderas/chaudhrys.
QA had a dilemma of choosing between fanatic Hindumat which was sure to marginalize Muslims in One India, and the risk of feudals and religious fanatics in Divided India.
At the time he chose the second option, hoping that he would be able to stop the usurpation of government from the two groups in Pakistan. But he did not realize that his closest comrades in Muslim League will ditch him to throw Pakistan in Maududi’s Talibani lap. Once Pakistan was created, they ensured that QA was eliminated asap so that their version of religious country could take place. Hence the Objective Resolution.
These comrades of QA were however clearly against feudalism. But they themselves failed to curtail the rising power of those leeches. One after another they all were sidelined. Liaqat Ali, Hussain Shaheed Suhurwardy, Khaaja Nazimuddin, Abdur Rab Nishter, etc.
