Quoting declassified State Department documents, Pakistan Today reported on Friday that Liaqat Ali Khan was murdered because of his refusal to use his office for securing oil contracts in neighboring Iran for US corporations.

According to the report, Liaqat Ali Khan said he would neither use his friendship with officials in Tehran for dishonest purposes nor interfere in personal affairs of Iran.

In addition, Khan also called on Washington to vacate air bases in Pakistan which the United States was using against the Soviet Union, upon which then-US President Harry S. Truman threatened the PM with dire consequences.


According to the documents, following these developments, the CIA began to search for an assassin to kill Khan. They could not find a suitable shooter in Pakistan and then turned to Afghanistan for this purpose.



The United States assassinated Pakistan’s first prime minister, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, more than sixty years ago, according to US State Department documents.

  • Munawwar Hussain Tariq Khan sb , this is trivial stuff, what we lost can never be realised
  • Tariq Khan We were drifting till Zia set course in a direction which has brought nothing but mayhem and misery in the lives of the people, but opportunities and untold wealth for the carpet baggers.

  • Munawwar Hussain Couldn't agree more, he was a curse for this country
  • Shahid Kureshi Would you gentlemen care to go back a little before taking the easy street ie., blaming a military ruler. Please re-read the Quaid's address to the constituent assembly on 11th August 1947 and then the Objectives Resolution passed by Shaheed e Millat Liaqat Ali Khan. That is where we lost direction and the Mullah stepped in. Not to mention good ol' ZAB when he rounded up the entire ummah and thought of becoming a leader of the muslim world.

  • Tariq Khan That too was not a bad idea, as he co authored and sponsored the Use of oil as a weapon, bringing untold wealth to the Ara world. He dreamed of becoming the Fuhrer even created an SS, and then wanted complete mandate , with rigged elections !! When challenged, unlike Adolf Hitler who had actually earned an Iron Cross in first world war ,he wavered not being even a little Adolf , and tried to appease! He declared Friday as a holiday, banned drinking and the last desperate act , declared the Ahmedis non Muslims !! He apparently arranged and decorated the very stage where he was to be hanged, by the one and only Momin ZiaUl Haq!! Shahid Kureshi, Munawwar Hussaina

  • Munawwar Hussain We never had visionary leader so far all we had were self centred self glorified kings
  • Tariq Khan Europe lost 100 million dead in the two great wars, the colonial wars between 1900 and 1960. Pakistan lost 1200 in 1965, 25000 in 1971 and about a total of 100,000 if we are to include the casualties along the ceasefire of Kashmir and the ongoing casualties, during a similar time line of 60 years,a mere 100,000 compared with 100 million, for a similar period!! The bloodshed in Europe, cut across all socio economic, cultural, ethnic and class boundaries. The wars created leadership and welded Europe into a single entity. In Pakistan the dead belonged to the working class and the middle class , while the politicians , the landlords and the thugs who did not sacrifice, spent the same number of years pillaging and sucking the country dry. Instead of leaders, we have produced a bunch of greedy self serving , and heartless scum who have called themselves leaders....................... We need War, if we are to ever find true leaders !! ...................................................................................................................................i,Munawwar Hussain, Munazza Khoso, Vanja B Krupa, Muhammad Akram,Muhammad Munir,Muhammad Dawood, Shahid Kureshi , Shahid Khan,Tanvir Ahmed Siddiqui , Syed Owais,

  • Munawwar Hussain abul kalam Azaad had the vision needed , but in large we are still primitive people , if you hear what Winston Churchill referred Indian people in 1931 as primitive people and that's what we are 

    I wish we have strong administrative systems than these corrupt clowns you referred and let's hope we don't get war rather learn from experience from others 

    Don't need to reinvent wheel 

  • Muhammad Dawood The Nation has become dead. We require someone to inspire the Nation even for the war. Mamnoon and Nawaz can,t motivate anyone.
  • Munawwar Hussain They are joke both of them along with their clowns
  • Tariq Khan No nation has ever learnt from another's experience, never !! These are misconceptions, which history does not allow in the real world.The collective behavior of nations cannot be replicated nor copied, or used like some mechanical inventions .Nations have to go through the process , like the process of birth and growing up with all its pitfalls .Munawwar Hussain,Shahid Kureshi, Muhammad Dawood

  • Tariq Khan The molding of a nation is not like a shape of a wheel.Each nation has its dynamics and own destiny, but the principals of evolution of state cannot be replicated.

  • Tariq Khan Mamnoon is a gentleman, and selected for just this reason, while the prime minister is an extremely rich businessman, who is more concerned about protecting and further capitalizing his wealth, and no more !Muhammad Dawood

  • Sadrul Fasihi If don't need democray - then there is no need to worry about. There is a dictatorship going from day one - in one or other form - either real army gererals or fake elected leaders.

  • Tariq Khan Munawwar Hussain Europe's ascent started after the 30 year war between the catholics and protestants till the Pope was defanged and the state and the church found there own places. As regards the Chinese model , their long march alone was not conducted like ours in land cruisers from Lahore to Gujranwala. They marched thousands of kilometres over a year and out of 100000 only about 10000 survived. Among the dead were Chou en lai's sister,and brother . Maot tse deng's wife and son, tortured and killed by General Chiang kai Shek. Aa regards the abillity of the middle class to bring a change leave aside a revolution ,it is explained brilliantly by Mao tse deng in his essay about the count who loved the dragons. Also he always said that the middle class is the most unreliable class politically, first to ask for a change but first to desert when the flames of war appear!! Shahid Kureshi,Sadrul Fasihi, Muhammad Akram, Muhammad Munir, Muhammad Dawood,Rana Iqbal, Vanja B Krupa, Munazza Khoso

  • Syed Owais Why do you guys ALWAYS get DISTRACTED??? Your post and the comments thereof have ZERO RELEVANCE, Why Mr Tariq Khan and friends? With all your intellect one is surprised at this disconcerted behaviour...
  • Syed Owais can you not focus on what you, YOURSELF, share
  • Syed Owais ??? too much to ask perhaps from me, so many challenges, age and intellect combined I suppose
  • Syed Owais The FIRST thing I did, was to READ the news item and hoped to enlighten myself from the comments below, disappointed is a small word
  • Syed Owais Kindly share your views on your post
  • Syed Owais I agree with your analysis on classes though the middle gets the brunt as it is expansive, loyalty remains to self all over the world
  • Syed Owais As for Liaqat Ali Khan and Truman please readhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaquat_Ali_Khan
