In your Urdu para there are some mistakes. I am not correcting you to belittle you but for increasing your knowledge further. First of all the stupid/dumb stereotype is hurled against pashtuns aka "khan sahab/lalay/khocha' ............not against khans in general.
1- Agha khan, founder of mulsim league was not a pashtun but ismaeli of perisan orgin born in karachi. Remember that Khan is/was not only used by mongols but also adopted by turks and people of indo-iranain stock like persians, pashtuns and baloch. Tell this to your punjabi/mohajir countrymen that agha khan was pashtun, they would make fun of you and would hurt your feelings.
2- Liaqat ali khan was a punjabi muslim of karnal, east punjab. Ethnically belonged to marhal clan of jats. Remember that Khan signified noble and upper class heritage in hindostan, so many indigenous Muslims were awarded khan title by mughals and rulers before them.
3- AQ khan indeed says that he is pathan but tell this to indian mohajirs of karachi that urduspeaker AQ khan is pashtun. They would tell you that he is intelligent because he is not pashto speaking cave dweller of north west.
