EVENTS

1832: Colonel Pottenger informs his Government that there was a considerable chance of civil war in Khairpur State between Mir Ali Murad Khan and his two elder brothers, and the cause of the war was refusal on the part of Mir Rustam Khan and Mir Mubarak Khan to restore to Mir Ali Murad Khan some Pargnas which he had given to them. Mir Murad Ali Khan of Hyderabad’s efforts to reconcile the brothers proved ineffective. (Source: letter No.189)

1853: The Deputy Collector of Shikarpur forward report prepared by the Assistant Commissioner of Jagers to Commissioner with recommendation that Pir Muhammad Ashraf son of PirFidaMuhaudinSarhandibe granted jager. (Source: letter No.61).

1939: The Daily Al-Wahid, Karachi advocates case of the restoration of Masjid Manzilgah and asks Sindh Government not to avoid from resolving the matter otherwise Muslims will launch agitation leaving no option for Government to bow before will of people. (Source: indicated).

1950: Moulvi Abdul Haq advises Balochistan Government to adopt Urdu as official language of the Province.(Source: Newspapers).

1957: Federation of Provinces, but not One-Unit, the cabinet of West Pakistan favours the idea. (Source: Newspapers).

1977: Bhutto damaged democratic institutions, PNA function at Hyderabad demands probe. (Source: Newspapers).

1978: It was my father’s will that I must assume party leadership, says Benazir Bhutto. It is interesting to note that Asif Ali Zardari also assumed the leadership of party and produced Benazir’s will in writing.

1991: PDA issues ‘White Paper’ on election rigging by IJI. It is said that at least seventy seats won by IJI were rigged. Rigging in election has remained dominating and favourate culture in elections in Pakistan. First ever election was rigged to defeat G.M.Syed. Ayub defeated Fatima Jinnan by rigging, Bhutto was thrown before death on this plea; Benazir was defeated in such a way and now Imran Khan is playing game on that plea. Sorry to say that people have never witnessed any real, representative and elected government  through fair election.

1992: Floods are conspiracy of Nawaz to punish people, relief money is being distributed among PML workers, says Benazir Bhutto (Source: Newspapers). Now, Nawaz, Floods and people are very much there but, without Benazir.
