After 1947 independence, the
Government of Pakistan has faced serious problems in ruling both East and West
Pakistan, East and West Pakistan were the two wings of Pakistan but it was hard
for even Liaqut Ali khan who was the first PM of Pakistan to hold them together
as Pakistan was newly established. After misleading by Government there was
military coup in 1958.
The war of Kashmir that was started in
1947, M.A Jinnah and Liaqut Ali khan were busy to resolve the riots and the
problems that were faced by refugees. The pioneering work was done by Liaqut
Ali khan for the foreign policies of Pakistan by proposing plans towards the constitution’s
formulation.
The objective resolution was the prologue
to the further constitutions of Pakistan. The objective resolution was passed
in 1949 and is described as “MAGNA CARTA” of the constitutional history of Pakistan. The US and Soviet Union sent invitations to Liaqut Ali, although he
chose to pay benevolence visit to US first. Apparently it was observed as a denial
to Moscow and has been traced to insightful unfavorable cost. He chooses to be
neutral in this cold war, declaring after independence of Pakistan that it would
not participate in the conflicting ideologies of the nations. Later, he tried
to make a visit to Soviet Union but it didn't happen.
In the same year, M.A. Jinnah declares
Urdu as the official language of Pakistan, which ignited protest in East and
West Bengal, where the Bengali language was spoken mostly. Jinnah also counters
problems for the Chief Commander of Pak Army, Gen. Sir Douglas Gracey who
refuses to obey the orders given by M.A Jinnah. Gracey bicker that M.A Jinnah
as the Governor General represents the British Crown, which he himself was an appointee
and that is the reason why he didn't send throngs to the Kashmir. And it was
just not Army; Jinnah also faced problems with Air vise Marshal Richard
Atchereley, and with the Chief Commander of the Navy Rear Admiral James, who
also refused to pay attention to any orders given by M.A Jinnah.
During Khan’s occupancy, Pak and India
agreed upon resolving the Kashmir issue in a peaceful manner by the efforts of
UN. In that agreement it was decided to ceasefire on 1st Jan 1949
and the unbiased plebiscite will promulgate under the control of UN.
After the death of Jinnah in 1948,
major problems arouses from the religious minorities bursting in late 1949 and
early in 1950s. activist from Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan started to hit the
minorities in West Pakistan, which was later slithered to India. After intellection
of another war against India, Liaqut Ali Khan met PM of India that was
Jawaharlal Nehru, who signed up on the contract named as Liaqut Nehru Pact in
1950. The pact was an endeavor to better the relations and lessen the tensions
encountered by both countries and also to guard the religious minorities on
both sides of the borders.
In 1952, the Bengali language movement
reached on its peak in east of Pakistan, when the riots started between police
and students near the Dhaka Medical college who were protesting to have a equal
status with Urdu. The protesters were killed in a large amount. After that, Government decides to provide equal status to Bengali language as the state
language of Pakistan in the 1956 constitution of Pakistan.
