Politics in the land of the pure has suffered due to backdoor entries. The list is long and painful, from the Chaudhrys of Gujrat to the Sharifs of Lahore or the Wattoos of Okara, and so on, there are trails of corruption, nepotism and plunder. It is a great national tragedy that while the front door entrants have been blocked the Chor Darwaza‘(backdoor) has been kept open for the entry of the unscrupulous by the half-educated chowkidars.
East Pakistan was the first to break off. The brilliant lawyer Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy, the Chief Minister of United Bengal, was bypassed to establish back door links with his ordinary party worker Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rehman who later on rose to become the father of the Bangla Nation ( Banga Bhandu ). Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, the first elected front-door Prime Minister, was assassinated and so was the second ( Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto ).
Khan Qayyum Khan, the undisputed leader of the Frontier Province, was humiliated in the dungeons of the Lahore Fort. From Balochistan the Khan of Kalat was also captured and kept under house arrest in Lahore. A Sarkari League was launched as a political entity called the Pakistan Muslim League ( Convention ) with its headquarters on Davis Road Lahore, the property is now under the control of PML(Q), led by the Chaudhrys of Gujrat.

The Quaid-e-Azam’s sister and mother of the nation, Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, challenged the ‘Chowkidars ‘ in January 1965 in the first Presidential election held under the 1962 forced constitution. She travelled the length and breadth of the country and addressed public gatherings. The old guard of the Muslim League ( Sardar Shaukat Hayat Khan, Khawaja Nazimuddin, Mumtaz Daultana, among others) fully supported her campaign.
Naturally the Head Chowkidar had to rely on the coercive state apparatus to win the elections. The area SHO was tasked to deliver the BD Member (Basic Democrat ) to vote for the dictator and then kept under watch till the announcement of the results. Under the President there were two iron-fisted rogue governors (Ameer Muhammad Khan in West and Abdul Monem Khan in East Pakistan). While the rest of the country surrendered to the whims of the first dictator, Karachi the city of Quaid, remained defiant till he was toppled.
