Who was Sayed Akbar the man who is blamed to have shot Liaqat Ali Khan?

[Toramana]

The Afghan that is blamed to have shot Liaqat Ali Khan was in reality a British agent. A Zadran or Jajai, his family had rebelled against King Zahir Shah and then had absconded to India where British gave them refuge. The British Raj authorities also were giving an allowance to his family as well as a home in Abbottabad.

After India partition in 1947, Pakistani govt had continued the allowance and had rather raised it to 100 rupees a hefty amount in those days.

It is said he was a zealot supporter of Fatima Jannah who had a severe conflict with Liaqat Ali Khan. In reality Punjabis were rallying behind Fatima Jannah whereas Urdu speaking Mahajars were rallying behind Liaqat Ali Khan.

Retd Hawaldar Saib seems writing volumes of crap history has sapped your sense of judgement completely; there is a lapse of 16 years between 1951 and 1967 and Liaqat Ali Khan was no more there for Mahajras to look to for leadership.

Then Fatima Jannah was the natural next choice.

Morghoday , fatima jinnah was absent from political scene in 50s, never was candidate for any kind of leadership before 1967. Stop creating your own history, mor-kusay

"Said Akbar’s Visit to Rawalpindi

The nucleus of the conspiracy was the cold-blooded murder of Said Akbar who was lured and entrapped to come to Rawalpindi and meet the Prime Minister in order to get enhanced his allowances which he was drawing from the public treasury under the Government Rules.

“Earlier, a year before, he had submitted an application to this effect to the governor of NWFP but to no avail.”42 At that time the competent authority to enhance allowances was the Prime Minister only. That is why he had come with his son and with high hopes of getting redressed his financial constraints and distresses. Being a son of a tribal chief and an ex-Brigadier in the Afghan Army he was well-dressed like a tribal chief having a black turban on his head, quite conspicuous in the crowd. He had come to see the Prime Minister. He had not come to kill him. If it was his mission to kill the Prime Minister, why did he bring his young son on such a suicidal mission? This is unnatural and absolutely against human nature. He was entrapped and killed. The killing was so provocative that the Commission had to observe, “how the firing of as many as five shots was justified when the assassin himself did not fire a single shot after he had been overpowered, and they feel that there was conspiracy behind this outrage and by the senseless act of Sub-inspector Mohammad Shah and the failure of the police to rise to the occasion, the evidence of the conspiracy as well as the motive has disappeared.”43

"Another question that still remains unanswered is related to the unexplained absence of Mushtaq Ahmed Gurmani and Ghulam Muhammad on the day of assassination of the Prime Minister. Their mysterious absence casts further shadows of doubts on the judgment of the Commission. All dignitaries and notable politicians were present to welcome and receive the Prime Minister. But, astonishingly, neither Ghulam Muhammad nor Gurmani had turned up at the Air Base or at the public meeting where the Premier was shot dead. Being members of the Cabinet, it was incumbent on them to have attended both the functions. There was no news of their being ill. Then, why were they absent from the scene? Had they been ceased to be ministers or had they been dismissed by the Prime Minister because they had lost his confidence? Of course, they had been sacked.

But two dismissed Ministers alone could not have contrived a conspiracy of such a colossal magnitude in which not only the Prime Minister was killed but the whole political scenario of the entire region got changed. This was a deep-rooted conspiracy in which not only recalcitrant Ministers, Civil and Military bureaucrats and selfish politicians had ganged up47 against the Prime Minister but the conspiracy also had foreign tentacles.

He was Afghani agent used to kill Quaid-e-Millat Liaqat Ali Khan, they want to kill him because they were enemies of pakistan formation, they even invaded FATA in 60s, read smarty' blog for that.

This Afghani agent is why we should not trust afghanis, they always wanted to fight with Pakistan, throughout history this been the case....

The Cabinet of Liaquat Ali Khan had very ambitious, strong headed and intriguing members who were more bureaucrats than ministers. There were people like Ghulam Muhammad, Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani, Chaudhry Zafarullah Khan who all were British trained bureaucrats, “They did not regard Liaquat Ali Khan with the awe that Quaid-i-Azam commanded till the end”.49 One of the most dangerous hidden enemies of the Premier was Khawaja Shahabuddin. “A group, reportedly headed by Minister of Interior
Khawaja Shahabuddin and actively aided by the editor of the Dawn, Altaf Hussain was seeking to discredit and perhaps ultimately unseat Liaquat Ali Khan”.50 Ayub Khan and Iskandar Mirza had completely tightened their grip over Army. By the time Liaquat Ali had been assassinated the civil bureaucracy had almost marginalized the politicians. “The one man they were in awe of was the formidable Ghulam Muhammad, while the Prime Minister came to be viewed by them as progressively weakening and ineffectual figure”.51

Ghulam Muhammad maintained close contact with the American Embassy in Karachi. ‘The Embassy had kept the State Department informed of its appraisal that Ghulam Muhammad dreamed of becoming a future ‘top banana’ of Pakistan. The well informed US Military Attache, Nathaniel Haskot, had reported that Ghulam Muhammad was acquiring illusion of grandeur and visualized himself as Jinnah’s successor. Haskot further stated that Ghulam Muhammad had gathered almost unlimited power in his hands.52"

"The accounts narrated by Mr. M. B. Ahmad are confirmed by many other important political figures who were contemporaries of Liaquat Ali Khan. Mr. Yousaf Khattak was one of them. He was Secretary General of Pakistan Muslim League. He was very close to Liaquat Ali Khan. Mr. Yousaf Khattak said in an interview with this author, “I think it was a murder. People were going to be thrown out’. Wholesale changes in the Cabinet had been perceived by Liaquat Ali Khan. Shahabuddin had been appointed Ambassador at Cairo. Qurban Ali Khan, I.G. Police, a very powerful man was retiring in the natural course of service, but nobody wants to get retired in Pakistan. Gurmani was also one of the affectees. Sardar Bahadur was also on the hit list.”71 So, all disgruntled and hostile politicians and civil bureaucrats ganged up and planned the murder of the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan. "

Here is what Ayisha Jalal says about Liaqat Ali Khan murder. She points to the West-aligned civil bureaucrats like Ghulam Mohammad, Mushtaq Ahmad Gormani, etc. and also says,

The assassin, Sayed Akbar, was an Afghan national under surveillence by Pakistani intelligence. When he pulled the trigger, Akbar was sitting in a row of policemen with 2000 rupees in his pocket -a substantial amount in those days. He was immediately shot dead by a policeman. The investigation into the murder revealed little hinting at a cover up. This fanned speculation of a conspiracy involving top individuals in the civil, military, and political fraternity. Those known to be pro-British were the key-suspects. But all the main beneficiaries of the post assassination political configuration were deemed to be complicit in one way or the other. Circumstantial evidence suggests that British intelligence may have aware that something was afoot even if they were not directly involved in the murder of the prime minister.

Liaqat Ali Khan eviction from the scene removed the last hurdle in the way of a successful Punjabi backlash against the pre-eminence of Urdu speakers at the federal centre. It was also a major step towards eliminating the remaining pockets of resistance to Pakistan joining an American backed security arrangement in the Middle East.

The move had the full backing of Mirza and Ayub.

The next few years saw frenzied behind the scenes activity to seal military deal with America. Ayub Khan who had been recommended for the legion of merit by the American ambassador was at the forefront of the negotiations.
