Yes greater Afghanistan, Pashtun areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Afghans have never accepted the Durand line (defacto border between the two countries).
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
strange. People from tribal areas were quite active in Indo-Pak war in Kashmir. How come a group who is against the basic identity of a country and wanted to be alienated from the country, could participate in such wars 
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
Pashtunistan persisted for a few decades after Pakistan’s creation. The country started meddling in Afghanistan (mid 70’s) as Daud Khan was supporting Pashtunistan in Pakistan. In recent times it has mellowed down.

Then there is no link between Liaquat Ali Khan's murder and Pashtunistan?

Could be, Pashtunistan stayed strong through the initial years. Afghanistan was the only country which did not recognize Pakistan.
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
The idea was of Prize, option to loot was prime motivator, it is said that late arrival of Pashtuns near sri nagar was, because of looting, they forgot that they have to liberate Sri Nagar 
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
Real questions is…
Why Syed Akbar was killed?
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
There were also afridis who on instigation of afghans revolted against Pakistan, hence PAF in its nascent strength couldn’t be fully deployed to kashmir. I think that that PAF unit was much decorated for their performance against these actors and were the last ones to convert to jets.
Coming to daud khan, PAF bombed afghanistan due to his misadventures in early sixties leading to his dismissal by his cousin King Zahir Shah.

The Pashtunistan issue had nothing to do with Liaqat Ali Khan's murder. Syed Akbar was not a Pakhtun nationalist, he was known to be a religious fanatic and at the time the religious fanatics were heavily critical of Liaqat Ali Khan. They considered Liaqat Ali Khan to be weak on the Kashmir issue, not religious enough and were angry at the influence of his wife Rana Liaqat Ali Khan who was instrumental in passing laws against multiple wives etc.

nope........ Afghan government and khudai khidmatgars demanded inclusion of option of an independent pashtunistan country ( comprising of present day KPK and FATA) in the refrendum of 1947......Later faqir of ipi declared himself amir of pashtunistan......while jirga of afridi tribesmen, who was going to announce their joining of pashtunistan movement, was annihilated by PAF bombing in 1951. The legendary ajab khan afridi and his brother were also involved in pashtunistan movement. It was a boiling issue in 50s but after that it subsided.
loy afghanistan is an idea that floats around, that KPK, FATA and balochistan should be merged with Afghanistan.

Actually few planes were used on bombing the afridi jirga. The houses of those afridi malaks were demolished according to FCR.....no clashes or any sort of insurgency took place in khyber agency, afridis didnt persue pashtunistan after this incident.
And Pak army didnt use air force and ground troops in kashmir and instead forwarded pashtun tribesmen so that they have the stance that pakistani state didn't invade kashmir and so that indian army stays away from the conflict......but unexpectedly maharaja invited indian army for help
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
Those pashtun tribesmen who went to kashmir, were recruited and properly paid by political agents… although in mosques jihad was announced, but jihad of those times was not that extreme like taliban of today.
here are some pictures
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
Interesting history. So three out of four provinces of Pakistan have a history of separatist movements. May be there is something in Punjab as well, that we don't know.
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
Muqawee....why punjab would have separatist movement?, pakistan has helped punjabis to gain the role and power they never enjoyed in the history.
1- Bengalis were majority and were most active in pakistan movement yet they went separatist because they were getting suffocated from the ethnic bias , superiority complex and dominance of west pakistanis particularly punjabis and mohajirs.
2- Balochs had separatist movements due to forceful annexation of qalat state and subsequent use of force against them in suppressing their insurgency. Moreover balochs enjoyed long period of autonomy within durrani empire, nationalism is strong among them .
3- Pashtuns never waged armed struggle for pashtunistan like balochs, there were some political voices. The voices for pashtun unity dates back to division of pashtun areas by british in 1893. In 1897 pashtun tribes from swat to chaman launched a massive rebellion against durand line demarcation. The unrest continued and in 1919 afghanistan invaded british india to reclaim pashtun belt but failed.
4- Sindhis have some voices of sindudesh due to dominance of mohajirs in their province.
Re: Why syed akbar killed Liaqat ali khan?
But I don't think so that all Punjabis benefited from exploitation of other provinces. To be honest, I think each province and all races living in Pakistan have their internal enemies, who usurp their resources. If middle class Punjabi are well off compared to other races in Pakistan, they did hard work as there are no free lunches in this world.
I can't say with certainty about other separatist movements in Pakistan, but for Sindh I can say they did only harm to Sindhis as compared to little benefits. Educational institutions were destroyed due to political wings. Sindh University that had a good reputation till 1960s got affected. Regular strikes and class boycotts wasted careers of many students.
