EVENTS

 

1886: It is decided in the meeting chaired by Sindh Commissioner that a college will be started in Sindh as an aided institution and it will be managed by a committee consisting of the representatives of the subscribers, government nominees and representatives of the local bodies who would contribute to the college Fund. (Source: Dr.Pathan and Dr.Azimushan’s Ph.D thesis)

1922: Kotri Khilafat Committee celebrates ‘Victory Day’ to pay regards to Ghazi Kamal Mustafa for his courage and leadership. (Source: Al-Wahid, Karachi).

1931: The Federal Structure Committee of the Round Table Conference meets to discuss ‘Simon Commission Report’ and ‘Nehru Report’. (Source: The Indian Annual Register, Vol-11, 1931).

1952: Punjab Kisan Conference demands abolition of Zamindari system. (Source: Newspapers).

1955: Flood and heavy rains take lives of 15 persons in Thatta. (Source: ibid)

1958: Sultan of Muscat handed over Guwadar to Pakistan as a gesture of Good-Will (Source: ibid).

1959: A commission is constituted to prepare plan for the new capital of Pakistan. (Source: ibid). It is interesting to note that change of capital indicates change of minds of people in power. On the eve of creation of Pakistan, the proposals of making Lahore or Dhaka were rejected and Karachi was selected for that purpose. Mass migration from India and mishandling of problems of Muhajreen inducted lawlessness in the city and it became difficult for ‘rulers’ to rule the country peacefully in Karachi. Hence, Karachi was thrown into fire.

1992: PDA boycotts session of the Parliament during Prime Minister’s speech. However, return back when President of Iran stood for address. (Source: Newspapers).
