Forgotten heroes- Sir Zafrullah Khan (rh)

[M. Sarmad]

Dr .Safdar Mehmood has himself admitted in this article that his research may not be perfect
And it surely isn`t . I am getting more and more convinced now that this guy is a fake historian (as a lot of educated people say).
And in this article , he is lying , yet again !!
I am surprised that he didn`t know about what the (then) viceroy had said (or may be he is intentionally lying as usual)


On 12 March 1940, Viceroy Lord Linlithgow wrote to the Secretary of Stale for India:

Upon my instruction Zafarullah wrote a memorandum on the subject. Two Dominion States. I have already sent it to your attention. I have also asked him for further clarification, which, he says, is forthcoming. He is anxious, however, that no one should find out that he has prepared this plan. He has, however, given me the right to do with it what I like, including sending a copy to you. Copies have been passed on to Jinnah, and, I think, to Sir Akbar Hydari. While he, Zafarullah, cannot admit its authorship, his document has been prepared for adoption by the Muslim League with a view to giving it the fullest publicity.

The Viceroy explains this further. Since Zafarullah was a Qadiani he had to be cautious. The Muslims would become
irritated if they found that this scheme was prepared by a Qadiani .

The Viceroy said that Jinnah had been given a copy to make the Muslim League adopt it and publicise its contents. Sir
Akbar was given a copy because he was responsible for fund raising. The dates take on a special significance. The Viceroy' s
letter to the Secretary of State was written on 12 April 1940 . The Pakistan scheme had been dispatched earlier. Twelve days
later the Muslim League adopted this very proposal at their Lahore Annual Meeting. It was called Pakistan Agreement.

Sir Zafarullah's term on the Viceroy's Executive Council was expiring in March. Due to his loyal service, however, the term was extended. Two days after the Muslim League had adopted this proposal, on 25 March 1940, the Viceroy wrote:

The Congress are putting forward a preposterous claim which they know is incapable of being accepted. He [Jinnah] will put forward just as extreme a claim, of the impracticability of realising which he is probably just well aware; but the existence of which, will, while reaffirming the Muslim attitude of hostility to the Congress scheme, take away some, at any rate, of the damaging charges which are hitherto being levelled against them [Muslim League] that they have no constructive ideas of their own. (Facts are Facts by Khan Abdul Wali Khan)

 

[Rashid Mahmood]

I don't think anywhere in my opening post is it asserted that which is being disputed by the author of this article. Although personally I do believe it to be the case, my only question is, what on earth was the point of posting this huge wall of text on a post which didn't even mention this particular topic. I saw your previous comment as well, seems you're just desperate to post anything that you think hurts the credibility of Hazrat Zafrullah Khan sahibs. I can only laugh at your childish attempts.

Your comments clearly indicate who is the child.

He was one of those dozens upon dozens of Pakistanis who were there at the Birth of the Country & contributed handsomely to it !

It is unfortunate, however, that often a times he merits a mention not because of his skill as a diplomat but because of his religious affiliation as an Ahmedi whereby both his ardent supporters & detractors mention him to register their point about the Persecution of Ahmedis in Pakistan whichever side they're on !

western influence is not destructive its more productive unlike what these extremists are doing to this country ..proof :: there are no anti Pakistani sentiments in any of Pakistani city , esp in sindh , punjab and kpk rural areas ..! where as FATA where so called assets or extremists have influence are declared as Islamic emirates of Waziristan , technically they have declared independence also their is no writ since last 10 years

u seem to have no idea what i said did u?

Butt Sahib , This is not true . He was not just one of those dozens upon dozens !!

I totally disagree with the twisted concept of "prophethood" in Ahmedi doctrine (personally) , But I dont think that I have any right to call someone a "kafir" . And Even if that is the case , I believe that a Non Muslim Pakistani deserves much more respect than a extremist , Anti State , self claimed Muslim Pakistani .

Sir Zafarullah Khan was a great man , And we as a nation , have not ben honest in acknowledging his great services . And the only reason behind this is our religious bigotry !!

I am on the side of Pakistan , and you ?

 

[apophenia]

Sir Zafarullah Khan was an accomplished individual. Regardless of his faith(Good or bad), nobody can belittle his achievements. His being an Ahmadi has no bearing on his career. So you people need to stop jockeying for positions to suit your own agendas.

Your comments clearly indicate who is the child.

Not really, you just keep posting random topics to sling mud on the integrity of Zafrullah Khan sahib, all your posts on this thread are of that nature. Especially the topics that are not even mention in the opening post, this suggests that you have no objection with what was said in it but you are just attempting to create diversionary topics in a bid to show that Zafrullah sahibs contribution towards Pakistan is nothing.

That's all you mullahs good for, mud slinging and creating fairy tales. Seems like you are doing both on this thread.

I wouldn't presume to tell the Ahmedis what they should or should not believe & yet I stand by what I said earler I don't think Zafrullah Khan Sahib to be any better or any worse than quite a few Pakistanis who contributed richly to the Country at is inception; many of their names have been forgotten from Public Memory & reside now only in the History Books !

He is mentioned in equally good or unfortunate terms for no other reason than the one that he was an Ahmedi & it provides both the advocates & the detractors of the Ahmedi Laws & the whole Persecution Narrative the example of a good Pakistani who contributed quite nicely to the State as its Diplomat, to use in their respective discourse !

Shias can be controlled as their influence is largely by Iran. As long as they r not influenced largely by west, we should be just fine.

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!.

 

[Umair Nawaz]

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!.

yup they can be! As long as they r not used by west. There r few sections of them used by west but not largely. We still r in control in that direction.

We who is we?

 

[Umair Nawaz]

We who is we?

Us, we Pakistanis! the few left who thinks solely for the country!

Dont buy much from media. It is using the harsh words and techniques to give a negative image of iran in Pak as we r the most pro iran nation. Our media is being funded $50 million dollars since 2008's carry-lugar bill as AIDE annually. So they r just doing what their masters r telling them. Then Press TV publishes a news with a title Iran requests Pakistan and our Dawn newspaper publishes the same news as 'Iran slams Pakistan.''

So use yr head more and dont fall prey to propaganda.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Shias can be controlled as their influence is largely by iran. As long as they r not influenced largely by west, we should be just fine.

You are a funny man..

 

[Armstrong]

You are a funny man..

If only Shias & Sunnis belonged to the Greatest Creation of God - the Butt Sahiban; most of our doctrinal differences would involve whether to add a pinch or two pinches of salt to a Chicken Karahiii - Life would be so much simpler !

u also seem to have idea what i just said did u?
