Now it is quite well known, how an equally patriotic scientist/ metallurgist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan wrote to Bhutto about his capabilities in the aftermath of the blast. Bhutto had him checked out and placed him in the PAEC two rungs below Munir Ahmed Khan. While Bhutto thought everything was hunky-dory, actually it was not. AQK was in fact getting frustrated by his dubious bosses who kept telling ZAB they were making a nuclear bomb but were actually doing nothing concrete in that direction. However, things were coming to a head as on 25th July 1976 Dr. Khan in a 2-page letter to the Prime Minister that I posted the other day informing him that he was constrained to leave the country and gave an exact description of the situation prevailing at that time.
On reading the letter Bhutto was devastated, and immediately summoned Dr Khan to Lahore. When he reached there, ZAB was closeted with Foreign Secretary Agha Shahi and his military secretary Brig (later Major General) Imtiaz. He told the good doctor not to worry as he would fix everything in a few days.
According to Dr Khan himself, the very next day he was asked to meet the Foreign Secretary Agha Shahi in his office. When he arrived there, AGN Kazi, Ghulam Ishaq Khan and Agha Shahi were all there. After introductions, Mr. Kazi asked him whether he would like to head the PAEC, to which Dr Khan replied in the negative. He felt the PAEC was too much in the public eye and foreign powers would soon come to know of his project. He wanted a standalone project and full powers on how to run the same. All the three gentlemen concurred with him. He also requested the services of an army officer to help with the civil works as he wanted a state-of-the-art facility and not something built by PWD.
After the military takeover in July 1977, Gen. Ziaul Haq gave personal supervision to the project. Mr. Kazi who remained Advisor and Secretary General Finance offered Ghulam Ishaq Khan now Secretary General in Chief and Advisor Coordination to chair the board, who asked him to continue on. However, Mr. Kazi urged him to be chair as was commensurate with his status and he finally agreed. It goes to the credit of both successive presidents General Zia and Ghulam Ishaq Khan who sustained the project under great stress and enormous pressure. Although the General was aided by the attention been drawn away to the Afghan war, Ishaq Khan who was President from 1988-1993, with Prime Ministers Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, was under greater pressure to roll back the project.
First prime minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan travelled from the capital Karachi to Rawalpindi to address a public meeting. The late afternoon of October 16, 1951 found him in the (British East India) Company Bagh of Rawalpindi poised to address a crowd of around 100,000 people. As he rose to speak, an Afghan national by the name of Said Akbar Babrak reported to be on the payroll of the Government of Pakistan fired two shots at him from point blank range. Within moments, as the crowd pounced on the would-be assassin, a police officer shot him dead. Twelve years later when President John F Kennedy was shot dead, his assassin was shot dead after a couple of days. In that October 1951 assassination in Rawalpindi, the retribution had been quicker, but the underlying principle was the same; dead men tell no tales. Much later in a new century and millennium on December 27, 2007, twice elected former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in the same place, now known as Liaquat Bagh, and the roads cleaned within hours and opened for general traffic to conceal any evidence. Twenty-nine years before his daughter was killed, deposed president/prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had written from his death cell in 1978 that the same people who had kept the Founder of Pakistan dying in a broken ambulance and had assassinated Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan in broad daylight now wanted to kill him. He was executed in April 1979. Suffice it to say, Pakistan has had a tumultuous history.
Anyway to return to the original subject, former prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan was taken to hospital and all that could be done to save him was done, but he succumbed to his injuries. Said Akbar, who had the reputation of never missing his target, had kept his record and not missed his most prestigious target. Paradoxically though Said Akbar was shot dead before the Prime Minister died and crisp banknotes of Rs 10,000 were found in his pocket. To add to the confusion, the investigating officer was later to die in an air crash. Liaquat Ali Khan would officially be given the title of Shaheed-i-Millat, although he would not return alive to his family. Who was his family and who was the lady who always remained him throughout his life and would uphold his legacy? What would she be feeling now once she emerged from the shock?
She met and fell in love with a barrister and an upcoming politician of the Muslim League Liaquat Ali Khan when he came to deliver a lecture on Law and Justice at her college in 1931. The latter belonged to an aristocratic Urdu-speaking family of Karnal, Punjab. That lecture was a game changer and would change everything in her life. There was a problem though as Liaquat Ali Khan was not just ten years older to her but already married to his cousin Jahangira Begum and had a son Wilayat. The Pants, who had been practicing Christians for three decades now, were reluctant for the match.
Upon the extremely shocking death of Liaquat Ali Khan, all administrative discipline and propriety seem to have been lost. Former president Ayub Khan has mentioned that on his return to Pakistan, life was going on smoothly as usual and there was not a word of sympathy concerning the assassinated prime minister. The former governor general, Khwaja Nazimuddin, had been appointed as an ineffective prime minister, while the finance minister, Ghulam Muhammad, had assumed the governor-generalship and was ensuring that only his will prevailed across the country. The latter was succeeded as finance minister by the cabinet secretary general, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, a civil servant. It seemed to Gen Ayub that all it required was to change the designation on your name plate. In less than three years the General himself would be made Defense Minister while still in uniform!
Like Julius Caesar (44 BC), Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1979) could not be accorded a decent burial. Being the most brilliant offspring of one of the four Knights in Sindh, he deserved better. Coming from a poor family herself, his mother Lady Khursheed Shahnawaz had taught him to care for the poor as he began his academic career in the UK and the USA, he preferred to live with relatively poorer people, and rather than buying cars he preferred to buy books and became a voracious reader. Even Bertrand Russell was impressed by the intellect of this young man.
Bhutto meanwhile had to re-evaluate his position vis--vis the new man in at the helm. There are indications that when political activity was allowed, he had problems like every other politician and frequently complained to the martial law authorities on the attitude of some of the officers. Meanwhile, just before the elections scheduled for December 1970, a devastating cyclone hit East Pakistan and the slow response to this humanitarian tragedy further alienated the masses there towards West Pakistan. Over the past 23 years, the West had treated the East as a liability and had shown remarkable apathy in resource allocations and looking to their security needs. During the 1965 war, the defense of East Pakistan appeared to lie in China so what was the rationale between keeping the two wings together at all. Nixon and Kissinger began lobbying with Yahya Khan and at some time he agreed to grant them independence. But by then the trust deficit had escalated.
On March 6, 1972 the government and opposition sides agreed on the fundamentals of the interim constitution and incidentally agreed to Martial Law till August 14, 1972. The opposition had erred here; very soon stalwarts like Wali Khan and Bizenjo were under fire for agreeing to a somewhat prolonged Martial Law mainly by the communist or ultra-left elements. Meanwhile, sensing the situation correctly, Bhutto made all his MNAs sign a resolution calling for Martial Law till the 14th August 1972 to consolidate reforms. The stratagem worked! The opposition was forced to approve the Interim constitution on April 21, 1972 to facilitate the lifting of Martial Law four months before the time they had somehow agreed. It was a win-win situation. Pakistan would go in its silver jubilee with a constitution approved by almost every member present. The Supreme Court judgment in the Asma Jilani case declaring Yahya Khan as a usurper but recognizing the need for the Constituent Assembly to play its role proactively may also have expedited the approval of the constitution by exerting pressure on both sides of the house. Bhutto has used Martial Law mainly to retire 1,300 civil servants in a hastily and somewhat erroneously drawn up list and the nationalization of basic and heavy industries. However, that is a topic for another day.
