پاڪستان! ڪهڙو نه پيارو نالو آهي. ڇو نه هجي؟ مسلمان هند جو نصيب العين. اسلاميان هندستان جو متحده واحد مطالبو ازان سواءِ پاڪ استان يعني پاڪن جي رهڻ جو هنڌ. پوءِ ڇو نه اهو نالو عزت ۽ توقير سان ورتو وڃي. اسلامي اخبارن تي نظر ڪريو ته جلي حرفن ۾ پاڪستان لکيل نظر ايندو مسلمان محلن مان وڃي گذرو ته پاڪستان ليکي جا نعرا ٻڌڻ ۾ ايندا. هندوستان جي هر مسلمان جو پاڪستان گويا جزوه ايمان ٿي ويو آهي. آخر اهو پاڪستان ڇا آهي؟ نالي مان ته ظاهر آهي ته اهو ملڪ جتي رڳو پاڪ ئي پاڪ هوندا. يعني ناپاڪن کي اتي رهڻ لاءِ ڪا به جڳهه نه هوندي. جنهن کي ٻين اکرن ۾ هن طرح ادا ڪري سگهجي ٿو ته حڪومت الاهيه جو دور دورو هوندو. قانون الاهي رائج هوندو جنهن جي روءِ سان شراب قطعا بند هوندو. چور جا هٿ ڪاٽيا ويندا، زاني کي سنگسار ڪرايو ويندو، بي نمازي کلي درا هڻايا ويندا، اقليتن جي هر طرح حفاظت ڪئي ويندي، لا اکراه في الدين تي سختيءَ سان عمل ڪيو ويندو. امن امان هوندو سلامتي هوندي رشوت خوري بند هوندي. محتاج خانه هوندا. مساوات هوندي سرمايه داري برباد ڪئي ويندي. کل مومنون اخوت تي عمل هوندو ڪو ڪنهن کان وڌيڪ نه هوندو نه ڪو غني هوندو نه ڪو اعظم نه غريب هوندو نه مسڪين محمود و اياز جو درجو هڪ جهڙو هوندو. وحشيا خانه بند هوندا. مسجدون آباد هونديون. هر طرف حمد خدا جا نغمه هوندا مطلب ته پاڪستان جي سرزمين جنت ارضي بڻيل هوندي. جيڪڏهن انهيءَ خيال سان پاڪستان قائم ڪيو وڃي ته ”دل مان شادم چشم مان روشن“ اسان جي اهڙي پاڪستان سان کلي همدردي آهي. پر ڇا؟ سچ پچ ائين ٿيندو؟ ڇا ائين ممڪن آهي ته پاڪستان جا پايو وجهندڙ مسٽر، خان صاحب خانبهادر، سر، آنريبل صاحب، جاگيرداري ۽ زمينداري کي خيرباد چوندا؟ رشوت شراب ۽ زنا کان توبهه ڪندا؟ پنهنجي زر خريد ٻانهن نوڪرن ۽ غلامن کي پاڻ جهڙو سمجهندا جيڪڏهن پاڻ به خلاف قانون ڪن ته پاڻ تي به حد شروع جاري ڪرائيندا؟ ڇا هندستان جي مسلمانن کان پڇيو ويو آهي ته هو قانون الاهي رائج ڪرائڻ چاهين ٿا؟

چوڻ ته بلڪل آسان آهي ته حڪومت الاهيه قائم ٿئي. مگر اسان پنهنجي ڪرتوتن تي به نظر ڪئي اهي ته اسان ڪري رهيا آهيون؟ قانون الاهي جي رائج ٿيڻ بعد اسان ڪيترو وقت انهيءَ حڪومت الاهي ۾ گذاري سگهنداسون؟ ”گفتن و کردن فرق دارد“.

اسان جي ته خيال ۾ حڪومت الاهيه (پاڪستان) قائم ڪرڻ وارا. اول پاڻ کي به ٻين مسلمانن کي پاڪ بڻائڻ جي ڪوشش ڪن. اسان کي پاڪستان ۾ گذارڻ جو لائق بڻائين. ان بعد پاڪستان قائم ڪرڻ لاءِ جدوجهد ڪن. پر جيڪڏهن پاڪستان جي معنيٰ فقط مسلماني حڪومت آهي. جيئن اڳي مسلم سلطنتون قائم هيون جهڙوڪ ٻنهي اميه بني عباسي ترڪ، مغل حڪومتون. ته پوءِ آءُ عرض ڪندس ته اها حڪومت مسلماني حڪومت ته هوندي مگر پاڪستان نه هوندو. جنهن ۾ مذهب جي آڙ ۾ خون جون نديون وهايون وينديون ۽ ڀروارين امن پسند حڪومتن کي مسلمانن جي جارحانه ڪارروائين کان چين نه هوندو. شاهان وقت جون محلاتون ٻڪرين جي ڌڻن وانگر حسن ڪافر ادا ۽ شاهد ان رويي سان ڀريل هونديون پس پرده ته خود ارڪان حڪومت مئي نوشي ۾ مصروف هوندا مگر ظاهر شرابين لاَءِ شرعي حدون مقرر هونديون. راڳ ۽ ناچ جون مجلسون گرم هونديون. طبقاتي تقسيم هوندي ڪي ٻارهن هزاري هوندا ته ڪي ڏهه هزاري ڪي وري پنجهه هزاري ته ڪي وري هڪ هزاري ڪي ويچارا نان جوبن جا به محتاج هوندا. چالاڪ ۽ مڪار سرمايه دار خزانن جا مالڪ هوندا. غريب ۽ ٻالا ڀولا مصيبتن ۾ مبتلا جن جي دور حڪومتن ۾ ڪتن جا ته پيٽ پاليا ويندا مگر محتاج ۽ اپاهج رستن تي بکن سبب مرندا نظر ايندا. خوشامدڙيا ۽ ظالم فائز اليرام هوندا. مسلمانن جا بهترين دماغ نه ته مذهبي پيشوا جيل جي تاريڪ ڪوٺڙين ۾ بند هوندا. يا تيرن ۽ تلوارين سان ٽڪر ٽڪر ڪيا ويندا. معصوم ٻچن ۽ بيگناهه عورتن سان شاهي جيل خانه ڀريل هوندا. حوس پرستي اسلامي جهاد جو نالو اختيار ڪري بلائي بي درمان جي طرح. دنيا ۾ قتل غارت جي گرم بازاري لڳائي ڇڏيندي آزاد فطرت انسان کي جانورن وانگر غلام بڻايو ويندو. اقليت واريون قومون اڪثريت جي ظلم کان نانه رڪتان هونديون حصول زر ۽ طلب جاءِ خبر نه آهي ته انساني دنيا لاءِ ڪيتريون نيون مصيبتون پيدا ڪندو.

شايد وري به بيگناهه مقتولن جو خون رنگ آڻي. مظلومن جون آخرن عرش الاهيءَ کي لرزائي ڇڏين. قهر الاهي جوش ۾ اچي ۽ وري به شايد پاڪستان جي ظالمن کي ابدي غلاميءَ ۾ مبتلا ٿيڻو پوي. (ڏسو تاريخه اسلام دورحڪومت اميه ۽ عباسيه) ۽ پاڪستان جي عيوض غلامستان بڻجي وڃي. پر جيڪڏهن پاڪستان مان مطلب اڄڪلهه جي اسلامي جمهوري حڪومتن جهڙي حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ جو آهي. جهڙوڪ ترڪي وغيره تڏهن به انهيءَ حڪومت جو نالو پاڪستان موزون نه ٿندو. انهيءَ بهادرن جي پرده کي خيرباد چئي ڇڏيو آهي. جن حڪم خدا کي ٺڪرائي زالن کي جهاد جي اجازت ڏني آهي. جي قوميت ۽ وطنيت جي بتن جا پوڄاري آهن جي اسلام جي بجاءِ ترڪ هئڻ تي ناز ڪن ٿا. جن اسلامي مرڪزي زبان عربي جو بنياد مٽائڻ لاءِ ٻانگه ۽ نماز جي صورت تي مسخ ڪري ڇڏي آهي. جن جي دلين ۾ پنهنجي اسلامي ڀائرن لاءِ ڪا به همدردي ڪانهي. جن ايراني ڀائرن جي مصيبتن ۾ خير گيري نه ڪئي جي بيگنال جي ڏڪار وقت پنهنجي ڀائرن کي هڪ پائي به امداد نه ڏئي سگهيا. خالي ڪاغذي ٺهراءَ جي همدردي به نه ڪيائون انهن کان ته هندستاني غلام هزار بار بهتر آهن جن ۾ انساني همدردي آهي. مسلمانيت آهي، جيڪي پنهنجي ڀائرن جي تڪليفن کان متاثر ٿين ٿا جن جو نعرو آهي ”مسلم هين هم وطن هي سارا جهان همارا“ جي قوميت ۽ وطنيت جي بتن کان دور آهن. جن کي هندستان هئڻ تي ناز نه آهي. بلڪه ملسمان هئڻ تي ناز آهي جن غلام هوندي به آزاد ملڪن تي سوين احسان ڪيا آهن. جن غلاميءَ ۾ رهندي به ترڪي ۽ ٻين اسلامي حڪومتن لاءِ سوين تڪليفون ڏٺيون. پاڻيءَ جي طرح خلافت هلچل ۾ پئسو خرچ ڪيو گهر ٻار ڇڏي هجرتون ڪيون. قيد و بند جون تڪليفون ڏٺيون. زلزلن ۽ ڏوڪارن جي وقت ڪروڙين رپيا ڪٺا ڪري آزاد اسلامي حڪومتن خود ترڪن جي مدد ڪئي.

اسان ترڪ ٿيڻ نٿا چاهيون، اسان ايرانين کان بيزار آهيون. اسان جو افغانين سان سروڪار ڪونهي. اسان مسلمان ٿيڻ چاهيون ٿا. مومن ٿيڻ جا خواهان آهيون.

اسين وري به پاڪستان قائم ڪرڻ جي دعويدارن جي خدمت ۾ باادب عرض ڪنداسون ته اسان کي پاڪستان ۽ حقيقي پاڪستان گهرجي به ته مسلمانن جي حڪومت. پوءِ اها راهه جمهوري هجي يا سلطنت شاهي يا ڊڪٽيٽرشپ. يا ڪنهن ٻئي نموني جي. اسان کي پراڻي تاريخ مان تلخ تجربا حاصل ٿي چڪا آهن ته مسلمانن برسر اقتدار هئڻ وقت ڇا ڇا ڪيو تنهنڪري اسان پاڪستان صرف پاڪستان جا حامي آهيون جنهن جي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ اسان جو ٻچو ٻچو پنهنجي خون جو آخري خطرو وهائڻ لاءِ تيار آهي. بشرطيڪ اسان کي يقين ٿئي ته حقيقي پاڪستان قائم ڪيو ويندو. باقي ٻي ڪا به حڪومت اسان جي لاءِ غلاميءَ جي تجديد ٿيندي پوءِ اها چاهي مسلمانن جي هجي يا غير مسلمانن جي. بقول علامه اقبال:

سروري زيبا فقط اس ذات هي همتا ڪوهي

حڪمران هي اڪه وهي باقي بتان آذري.

ان جو يقين هن صورت ۾ پيش ڪري سگهجي ٿو ته اسان جا پاڪستاني ليڊر اڄ جو اڄ شراب ڇڏي ڏين نمازي بڻجي وڃن. رشوت کي خيرباد چئي ڇڏين ڪٺا ڪيل خزانا راهه خدا ۾ لٽائي ڇڏين جاگيرداري ۽ زمينداري ختم ڪري ڇڏين مومن ۽ صرف مومن (پاڪ) بڻجي وڃن. ڪلبون، ناچ گهر وغيره هڪدم بند ڪري ڇڏين. اهو ئي پاڪستان حاصل ڪرڻ جو بهترين رستو آهي. جيڪڏهن ائين ڪرڻ لاءِ تيار نه آهن ته پوءِ پاڪستان دنيا جي ٻين قومن لاءِ تفريح جو سامان بڻجي ويندو.

اکنڊ هندستان ۾ ڇا ٿيندو؟

هن کان اڳي اسان جو مضمون پاڪستان ۾ ڇا ٿيندو شايع ٿي چڪو آهي انهيءَ مان هرگز اها مراد ڪا نه آهي ته اسان پاڪستان جي برخلاف آهيون يا مسلم ليگ جي مخالفت ۾ آهيون مگر انهيءَ مضمون لکڻ مان اسان جو مطلب ليڊر ان مسلم ليگ تي نڪته چيني آهي. گويا اسان جو مطلب آهي ته بني امين ۽ بني عباسين واري حڪومت اسان تي نه مڙهي وڃي ته ترڪن ۽ ايرانين واري حڪومت قائم ڪجي پاڪ آزادي ملڻ بعد پاڪستان ۽ صرف پاڪستان يعني حڪومت الاهي قائم ڪئي وڃي. هاڻي اسان هن مضمون ۾ ڏيکاريون ٿا ته اکنڊ هندوستان ۾ ڇا ٿيندو؟

هندن جو راڄ هوندو، هر گهر تي ٽرنگو جهنڊو ڦڙڪندو نظر ايندو، وندي ماترم جا ترانا هوندا، آذانون بند ڪيون وينديون، بي پردگي هوندي، نيم عرياني هوندي، غيرت جو ڏيوالو نڪري ويندو. بليڪ مارڪيٽ جو دور دورو هوندو. وياجن جون مصيبتون هونديون، مسجدن ۽ مسلماني عبادت گاهن تي حملا هوندا. مسلمانن جي زمينن جاگيرن تي واڻين جا قبضا هوندا. نه رڳو ڳئون ڪشي بند ڪئي ويندي پر هڪ هڪ گانءِ جي عيوض هزارن مسلمانن جون حياتيون وٺڻ سعادت ابدي سمجهي ويندي. ڳئو ماتا ۽ بيل باب جي هر جاءِ پوڄا هوندي انهن جو بول براز هوٽلن ۾ ۽ عام جڳهين تي مڪئي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ ڳري بها ۾ وڪامندو نظر ايندو ۽ ان کي ناز ۽ فخر سان پيتو ويندو. قرآن ڪريم جي ورقن ۾ ڄاڻي واڻي پڪوڙا ويڙهي وڪرو ڪيا ويندا، مسجدن کي مندرن ۽ گوردوارن ۾ تبديل ڪيو ويندو. مسلمانن کي ڄٽ وحشي، بدمعاش، چور، ڌاڙيل خوني ۽ گونڊو وغيره وغيره جي حقارت آميز نالن سان ياد ڪيو ويندو. جهاٽڪي جو گوشت عام جام مروج هوندو، اسلامي تهوارن جا جلوس بند ڪيا ويندا. مسجدن ۽ عبادتگاهن جي اڳيان بقنڊون ۽ ناقوس وڄايا ويندا. مسلمانن کي هندن جي پاڙن بلڪه شهرن کان حڪمن هڪايو ويندو. زالن کي عام آزادي ڏئي پرده ڪندڙ قومن کي زوري پردو ٺهرائڻ تي مجبور ڪيو ويندو. ڪنهن به مسلمان جي جان مال عزت محفوظ نه هوندي نه رڳو ايترو پر انهن ملڇن کان پارت ماتا جي مقدس سرزمين کي پاڪ ڪرڻ سعادت ابدي ۽ مڪئي جو ذريعو سمجهيو ويندو. هڪڙي خدا جي بدران ٽيهه ڪروڙن خدائن جي پوڄا هوندي. حجر ٺڪر ڀتر باهه پاڻي بلڪه دنيا جي هر چيز جي اڳيان گردن نياز خم ڪئي ويندي جئه سيتا رام جئه هند جئه ڀارت ماتا جا پرجوش نعره هر سمت کان ٻڌڻ ۾ ايندا سڀئي وڏا وڏا عهده هندن جي حوالي هوندا ۽ ظاهر ڪيو ويندو ته مسلمان اڃا انهن عهدن جا لائق ئي ڪو نه آهن آفيسن دڪانن ۽ ٻين سرڪاري خواهه غير سرڪاري ڪاروباري ۾ حسين ۽ نازڪ بدن عورتن کي مقرر ڪيو ويندو مسلمانن پاڙن ۾ امن قائم رکڻ جي آساني ۾ چٽي پوليس مقرر ڪئي ويندي ٿي سگهيو ته سندن گهرن ۽ عبادتگاهن کي به جلايو ويندو راهه ويندڙن مسلمانن تي ۽ مسلمانن جي گهرن تي اوچتو اوچتو حملا ڪيا ويندا ۽ ظاهر ڪيو ويندو ته مسلمان بدمعاش ۽ لفنگا آهن ۽ رستي هلندي هندو نيم عريان بازين سان مستي ٿا ڪن. (ڏسو ديش متر 2 مٿي1946) رشوت عام جام هوندي ۽ هندن لاءِ خاص ڪري رشوت وٺڻ گناهه نه هوندو ڇو ته هنن کي هر ڪڪيءَ تي ڏهه هزار ڏيئي ليتي ڏيڻي ٿي پوي. مسلمانن کي انهيءَ ڏوهه ۾ وڌ ۾ ڦاسي ۽ گهٽ ۾ گهٽ جنم ٽيپ ڏني ويندي. مسلمانن کي سياسي توڙي مذهبي طرح ڪرڻ لاءِ سندن مهاسڀا، فارورڊ بلاڪ وغيره وغيره، تحريڪون جاري ڪيون وينديون. ڪو به هندو پنهنجي رخسا رغبت سان به ٻئي مذهب ۾ داخل ٿي نه سگهندو شريفن ۽ اشرافن کي سربازار خواهه اخبارن ۾ دل کولي گاريون ڏنيون وينديون ڪو به مسلمان ائين نه چئي سگهندو ته آءُ اول هندوستاني آهيان پوءِ مسلمان نه چوڻ جي حالت ۾ سندس زبان ڪياڙيءَ کان ڪڍائي ويندي. اردو زبان جو دنيا مان ۽ خاص ڪري هندوستان مان قطعن قلج قمع ڪيو ويندو ان جي جاءِ تي ديتن ۽ راڪشن جي جهوني مندي ۽ سنسڪرت ٻوليءَ کي جڳهه ڏني ويندي هندوستان جي مرڪزي ۽ دفتري ٻولي هندي هوندي سڀ سرڪاري لکپڙهه خواه اخبارون وغيره ابتن اکرن ۾ لکيل نظر اينديون عربي ۽ فارسي جي تعليم ڏيارڻ ۽ وٺڻ قانوني طرح جرم قرار ڏنو ويندو ۽ عربي مدرسه ڪاليج وغيره بنياد کان اکيڙي انهن تي هندي ۽ سنسڪرت وديا شالائون تعمير ڪيون وينديون. مسلمان ڪا به سياسي خواه مذهبي تحريڪ جاري ڪري نه سگهندا. موجوده سڀني تحريڪن جو خاتمو ڪيو ويندو. ڪانگريس کانسواءِ ٻي سڀڪا تحريڪ خلاف قانون قرار ڏني ويندي.

مسلم ليگ جي سڀني ليڊرن کي ديش دروهي ٺهرائي مٿن مقدمه هلايا ويندا ۽ پوءِ کين عبرتناڪ سزائون ڏنيون وينديون. شڪم پرور ملن ۽ مولوين کي وظيفه ڏيئي ۽ سندن پگهار مقرر ڪري مسلم ليگ جي برخلاف پروپيگنڊا ڪئي ويندي. لکن ۽ ڪروڙين رپيا خرچ ڪري ۽ حسن ۽ شراب جون محفلون گرم ڪري ڪن عياش ۽ گمراهه مسلمانن کي خريد ڪري مسلمانن ۾ قوت وڌي ويندي. ڪلب ۾ وڃي ناچ ڪرڻ ۽ سکڻ هر عورت ۽ مرد لاءِ قانوني طرح ضروري قرار ڏنو ويندو. شراب خانا عام جام کوليا ويندا. هر شهر ۽ ڳوٺ ۾ شراب جون بٺيون کولايون وينديون ستيارٿ پرڪاش رنگيلا رسول ۽ تاريخ اسلام جهڙا منحوس ۽ واحيات ڪتاب عام جام شايع ڪرڻ جي اجازت ڏني ويندي جن ۾ مسلمانن جي پيشوائن کي جيڪي ڀري گاريون ڏنيون وينديون جنهن ڪري هر ملڪ هر صوبو هر شهر ۽ هر ڳوٺ ۾ هندو مسلم فساد متل هوندو برهمڻ کٿري ۽ وتشن کانسواءِ باقي ساري هندوستان جون قومون شودرن ۾ شمار ڪيون وينديون انهن سان جيڪڏهن ڪنهن جو ڪپڙو به لڳي ويو ته اکنڊ هندوستان جي ابن کي درياهه شاهه ۾ ڪپڙن سوڌو غوطو ڏيڻو پوندو. انسان جانورن ۽ ٺڪرن ڀترن ۾ ڪو به تفاوت نه رهندو. نانگن، بلائن، وڻن وغيره جي عزت به انسانن کان زياده هوندي ۽ اشرف المخلوقات انسان ٺڪرن ڀترن کان به ڪمتر ليکيو ويندو. باون ۽ ساڌن جي ٻيگهي مچي ويندي گداگرن جي ڪثرت کان دنيا تنگ اچي ويندي خوفناڪ جانورن ۽ درندن کي مارڻ جرم ٺهرايو ويندوجنهنڪري زراعت ۽ انسان جو مال جان هر وقت خطرن ۾ هوندو سورن جا ڌڻ پاليا ويندا ۽ انهن جو کير ۽ گوشت خوشيءَ سان نوش جان ڪيو ويندو جنهنڪري هزارين مرض ڦهليندا ڪارخانن ۽ وڏن وڏن ڏاڏن تي مڪار چالاڪ سرمايه دارن جو قبضو هوندو. مزدور ۽ هاري سواين ۽ وياجن ۾ تباهه ۽ برباد ٿي ويندا. ڪاسبين ۽ ڪڙمين جو ڪو به پرسار حال نه هوندو. مرڪز ۾  هندو سرمايه دار جي حڪومت هوندي جنهنڪري ڪو به غريبن ۽ مسڪينن جي فائدي جو ايڪٽ پاس ٿي نه سگهندو اکنڊ هندوستان فقط وياج خور واڻين ۽ کانڏي ٽولي وارن جي دنيا هوندي. قانون سرمايه دارين جي اکين جي اشاري جو نالو هوندو. پائي پائي ۽ پئسي پئسي تي انسانن جون حياتيون قانوني آڙ وٺي تباهه ڪيون وينديون سرمايه کي زمين ۾ دفن ڪري يا ٽجوڙين ۾ بند ڪري دنيائي تباهي آندي ويندي. اناج ۽ ٻيون زندگي جون ضروري شيون گهرن ۾ بند ڪري ذخيرو ڪيون وينديون ساري هندوستان تي ڏڪار جا آثار نمايان ٿيندا. غريب بيگانن وانگر رستن تي مرندا نظر ايندا شاهوڪار پنهنجي رنگ رلين ۾ مشغول هوندا. جنهنڪري قهر الاهي وري به جوش ۾ ايندو قدرت جو هٿ ظالمن کان انتقام وٺڻ جي لاءِ دراز ٿيندو ۽ سوني جهرڪي هندستان وري به پٿر جي گانءِ بڻجي ويندو. ماڻهون وحشين وانگر جهنگلن ۾ وڃي وڻن جي پنن وغيره تي گذران ڪرڻ لاءِ مجبور ٿيندا.

اهڙي طرح انسانيت پنهنجي اولين دور جي طرف وري عود ڪئي ويندي. عاليشان شهر ۽ فلڪ برس عمارتون ويران نظر اينديون ۽ آئينده قومن لاءِ عبرت جو ٿيندو.

اول هي پڙهو

حامد رمضليا. ڪن دوستن پڇيو ته جيڪڏهن هندو ۽ مسلمان پاڻ ۾ ٺهي نه سگهيا ۽ شملا ڪانفرنس به ڪامياب نه ٿي ۽ وزارتي ڊيليگيشن پاڪستان هندن جي مرضيءَ کانسواءِ مسلم ليگ جي سرائن ڪيو اقليتن وغيره جي سان جي حفاظت جي واسطي جيڪڏهن ڪو به سمجهوتو اڳواٽ نه ٿيو ته پاڪستان ۾ ڪهڙي حڪومت قائم ٿيندي؟ ۽ اهي اقليتون جن پاڪستان جي برخلاف شور مچايو آهي انهن سان پاڪستان جا ابا ڪهڙو سلوڪ ڪندا؟ پر جيڪڏهن انگريزن مسلمانن جي مطالبن کي ٺڪرائي سندن مرضي جي خلاف ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ جي سمجهوتا کانسواءِ آزادي اکنڊ هندوستان جي صورت ۾ ڪانگريس جي حوالي ڪئي ته اهي ڪهڙي طرح حڪومت هلائيندا؟ ڪانگريس جي مخالفن ۽ اکنڊ هندوستان جي دشمنن خصوصن پاڪستان جي حامين سان ڪهڙو سلوڪ ڪندا؟

انهن ٻنهي سوالن جو جواب اسان ڌرين جي................. تي گهري نظر ڪندي هن ڪتاب ۾ ناظرين جي اڳيان پيش ڪيون ٿا ۽ ان سان گڏ سڄي هندوستان جي هندو خواهه مسلمانن کي عرض ٿا ڪريون ته هو انهن حقيقتن کي مدنظر رکي هندستان جي ٻنهي مکيه جماعتن ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ تي زور آڻين ته هو اول اقليتن سان........................... حفاظت جا سمجهوتا ڪن ۽ ان...................... مڪمل آزادي وٺن..................... حالتن ۾ پاڪستان خواهه........................جدا پاڪستان ۽ آزاد هندستان ۾ امن قائم رهي سگهندو. پر جيڪڏهن ائين نه ڪيو ويو ۽ ڌريون پنهنجي طاقت جي زور سان برسر اقتدار آيون ته پوءِ يقين ڄاڻيو ته هن ڪتاب جو حرف اعراف صحيح نڪرندو. ڌريون هڪ ٻئي جي ضد ۾ هندوستان ۾ قتل و غارت خون ريزي ڦرلٽ بلڪه ان کان به زياده محشر مچائي ڇڏينديون ۽ اها آزادي هندوستان ﷢لاءِ تباهي بربادي جو پيش خيمون ٿيندو.

پاڪستان جو صحيح رستو!

ملڪ ميراث ڪسي نيست ڪه آيد زيدر

هرڪه شمشير زند سڪئه لا مش خوانند

اڄ چوطرف پاڪستان جو نعرو آهي ۽ پنهنجي حڪومت بڻائڻ جا ولولا آهن ۽ مسلمانن جي راڄ قائم ڪرڻ جي بيقراري آهي. اها بيقراري، اها تڙپ اهو جوش ۽ اهو ولولو هن ڳالهه جو دليل آهي ته مسلمان جون اکيون هينئر کلي چڪيون آهن ۽ هو هاڻي پنهنجي حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ کان گهٽ تي ڪنهن به صورت ۾ راضي ٿيڻ وارو ناهي ۽ هن جي دل پراڻي راڄ ۽ غلامي تي مطمئن رهڻ واري ناهي.

اسان جي نوجوانن جا انهي قسم جا ولولا ۽ خيالات قابل تعريف آهن ۽ هن ڳالهه جو دليل آهن ته اسان جو مستقبل روشن آهي ۽ اسان جو ”آئيندو“ شاندار آهي ۽ اسان جي قوم جو قافلو ڪنهن وقت ضرور انهي منزل مقصود تي هلي پهچندو جنهن لاءِ دليون بيقرار آهن ۽ قلب مضطرب آهن في الحقيقت هڪ مسلمان جو مقصد هڪ مختصر پاڪستان ۽ محدود حڪومت هرگز ناهي بلڪه اسلامي روايات ۽ دين اسلام جي تقاضا آهي ته مسلمان جي نگاهه وسيع هجي ۽ هن کي روءِ زمين جي چپي چپي تي الاهي حڪومت جي قيام کانسواءِ ٻي ڪا به حڪومت منظور نه هجي ۽ هو روءِ زمين تي اسلام کي غالب ڪرڻ لاءِ پنهنجي ويهن نهن جو زور خرچي پنهنجي موليٰ سان وڃي ملي. تاهم اسان جي نوجوانن جو هي مختصر مقصد به قابل عزت ۽ قابل تعريف آهي ۽ ترقي ڏانهن هڪ قدم آهي ۽ منزل مقصود جي بحربي ڪنار جو هڪ قطرو ضرور آهي.

اسلامي راڄ جو پهريون تخيل!

اسلامي حڪومت امام مهدي کان اڳ اچڻ جو تخمل ڪنهن به دماغ ۾ نه هو. ۽ غلبه اسلام ۽ پنهنجي حڪومت جو خيال نه ڪڏهين خواب ۾ به ڪنهن کي ياد ڪو نه هو اهڙي حالت ۾ 1931ع ۾ جنهن شخص سڀ کان پهريان ”اشارات“ لکي اسلامي حڪومت جي قيام جو مقصد مسلمانن اڳيان رهيو سو اهو شخص آهي جنهن جو نالو علامه عنايت الله خان مشرقي آهي ۽ هو ئي موجوده زماني ۾ انهيءِ تخيل جو باني ۽ اسلامي حڪومت جي مقصد جو ڏاڏو آدم آهي ۽ هن کان اڳ ڪنهن کي به انهيءِ ڳالهه جي يادگيري به ڪا نه هئي ۽ اسلامي حڪومت ۽ هندستان ۾ مسلمانن جو پنهنجو راڄ قائم ڪرڻ ڪنهن کي خواب و خيال ۾ به ڪو نه هو. علامه صاحب نه فقط هڪ ڪتاب انهيءَ مقصد لاءِ لکيو بلڪه هڪ قومي تحريڪ خاڪسار جماعت نالي به قائم ڪئي جا انهيءَ مقصد جي حصول لا فوجي مشق ڪرڻ لڳي ۽ مسلم نوجوانن کي اسلامي فوج جو روح پرور نظارو ڏيکاري سندن دماغن کي بيدار ڪيو ۽ سندن دلين ۾ اسلامي حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ جا ولولا ۽ جوش پيدا ڪيا ۽ هندستان جي ڪنڊڪڙڇ ۾ غلبه اسلام جو لٽريچر ۽ غلبه اسلام جو لشڪر نظر اچڻ لڳو ۽ هر طرف مصنوعي جنگين ۽ فوجي ڪئمپن جي ذريعي مسلمانن جي ستل حس کي بيدار ڪيو ويو ۽ انهن جي سينن ۾ اسلامي راڄ قائم ڪرڻ جي آگ لڳائي وئي ۽ انهن جي هٿن پيرن کي اسلام جي غلبه لاءِ حرڪت ۾ آندو ويو ۽ جهاد في سبيل الله  جي جوش ۽ شهادت جي شوق ۾ دليون ٽپي ٽپي حلق تي اچڻ لڳيون. هڪ عظيم الشان لشڪر تيار ٿي رهيو هو ۽ لکين نوجوان ميدان جنگ جا خواب ڏسي ۽ اسلامي حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ لاءِ جهاد جو انتظار ڪري رهيا هئا. مطلب ته اهو سڀ تخيل خاڪسار تحريڪ ۽ ان جي باني علامه مشرقي جي ڪوششن جو نتيجو هو ورنه هن کان اڳ هندستان جي ڪنهن به ٽڪري تي نڪا اهڙي جماعت هئي جا هن طرح نوجوانن جي تربيت گاهه ٿئي ۽ نڪي هن طرح جو ليڊر هو جو هن طرح سڌي طرح ماڻهن کي اسلام جي غلبه ۽ اسلامي حڪومت جي قائم ڪرڻ جي دعوت ڏني. هي هڪ حقيقت آهي جنهن جو انڪار فقط اهو بدبخت انسان ڪري سگهي ٿو جنهن کي انصاف پسند دل ناهي ۽ جو تعصب جي مرض جو مريض آهي ۽ جنهن کي قيامت جي ڏينهن عادل خدا جي سامهون بيهڻ تي يقين ناهي.

پهرين آزمائشي ٽڪر!

1935ع جي انڊيا ايڪٽ هندستان ۾ جاري ٿيڻ ۽ مختلف صوبن ۾ ڪانگريس وزارتون قائم ٿيڻ ڪري ڪانگريس جو ٽيمپريچر بلڪل چڙهي ويو هو ۽ اهي ڪانگريس جون اڇيون ٽوپيون پائي پاڻ کي ديش ڀڳت ۽ ديش شيوڪ سڏائيندا گهمندا هئا تن جي دماغن ۾ هندو راڄ جو جنون پيدا ٿيڻ لڳو ۽ ڪانگريسي پرڳڻن کي هندو تهذيب جو مرڪز بڻائي  وري نئين سر هزارن ورهين جي ويل حڪومت وٺڻ جا سانباها ٿيڻ لڳا ۽ مسلمانن کي هڪ ٻئي ۾ لڙائڻ لاءِ نيچ رستا اختيار ڪيا ويا. لکنو جو مشهور شيعه سني جهڳڙو به انهي ڪانگريس جي منافقانه سياست جو نتيجو هو ۽ مسلمانن جا ٻه فرقا نهايت بيدردي سان هڪٻئي جو خون پي رهيا هئا ۽ ڪانگريس حڪومت انهيءَ فساد جي باهه تي تيل وجهي انهيءَ باهه کي هندستان گير بڻائي رهي هئي. اِهو اُهو وقت هو جو محترم مسٽر جناح ۽ مسلم ليگ ڪنج عافيت ۾ آرام فرمائي رهيا هئا ۽ ڪنهن کي به فڪر ڪو نه هو ته هي ٻه ڀائر ڇو وڙهي رهيا آهن ۽ ڪانگريس وزارت انهن جي مقابلي لاءِ آکاڙي جو ميدان ڇو تيار ڪري رهي آهي، سڀڪو پري کان هي تماشو ڏسي رهيو هو ۽ ڪنهن جي به دل ۾ هن نازڪ مسئلي کي حل ڪرڻ ڏانهن توجهه ڪو نه هو. اهڙي وقت ۾ جنهن شخص ڪانگريس جي شيطاني ارادن کي محسوس ڪري يو پي جي ڪانگريس گورنمينٽ سان اعلان جنگ ڪيو هو اهو علامه عنايت الله مشرقي کانسواءِ ٻيو ڪير هو؟ 1939ع ۾ علامه صاحب خاڪسارن جون جوان فوج وٺي يو پي گورنمينٽ تي اهو ته خطرناڪ حملو ڪيو جو ڪانگريس وزارت پنهنجو اها جو چولو لاهي خاڪسارن سان خوني جنگ ڪرڻ لاءِ تيار ٿي وئي ۽ يو پي جا جيل خاڪسارن سان ڀرجي ويا ۽ خاڪسارن پنهنجي قوت ايماني سان يو پي لاٺي پوليس سان جنهن نموني مقابلو ڏنو سو مسلمانن جي پراڻي شجاعت جي ياد وري تازا ڪري ڇڏي ٿو. بلند شهر ۾ ڪانگريس وزارت پنهنجي بربريت جو انتهائي نظارو ڏيکاريو ۽ ڪيترن شهادت جي پياسن کي شهادت جو پيالو پياريو.

ڪانگريس وزارت کي خاڪسارن جي انهيءَ بهادران حملي اهڙو ته ڪاپاري ڌڪ هنيو جو اها وزارت وري اٿي نه سگهي ۽ اهي مسلمان جي ڪانگريس جي دام فريب ۾ ڦاٿل هئاسي ڪانگريس کان هميشه لاءِ الڳ ٿي ويا. هي هئي خاڪسارن جي پهرين آزمائشي جنگ جا اسلام جي آبرو بچائڻ لاءِ هنن هندستان جي سرزمين تي هندستان ۾ هندو راڄ جي خواب لهندڙن مان لڙي ۽ انهيءَ ۾ شاندار فتح حاصل ڪئي.

لنڊن ۾ زلزلو

يو پي محاذ ۾ خاڪسارن نه فقط پنهنجي بهادري جا جوهر ڏيکاريا بلڪه فوجي ڪرتب ۽ جنگ جي فن جون اهي چالاڪيون ڏيکاريون جو ڪيترن گورنمينٽ جون تربيت يافته فوجون عاجز رهجي ويون ۽ اخبارات ۾ خاڪسارن جي جنگ قابليت ۽ فوجي لياقت جون وڏيون وڏيون سرخيون ڇپجڻ لڳيون ۽ انگريزي اخبار ۾ گورنمينٽ فوجن تي سندن خاڪسارن جي مقابلي ۾ بي بي ۽ نالائقي تي طعن و تشمع ٿيڻ لڳي ۽ وڏين هيڊلگن سان خاڪسارن جي فوجي قابليت جي اعتراف جا اعلان ٿيڻ لڳا. يو پي محاذ ختم ٿيندي ئي علامه صاحب پنجوين لکن جي نئين ڀرتي جو اعلان ڪيو ۽ ساري هندستان جي مشهور سالارن کي پنهنجا پرڳڻا ڇڏي ٻين هنڌن هجرت جو حڪم ڏنو ۽ ڀرتي جو سلسلو برقي رفتار سان ٿيڻ لڳو ۽ مسلمان اسلام جي فوجي نظام ۾ ڌڙا ڌڙ داخل ٿيڻ لڳا. هر طرف اسلامي عسڪريت جو روح پرور نظارو ڏسجي رهيو هو. چمڪندڙ بيلچن، خوشنما وردين ۽ ڪراس بيلٽن جو دل ڀڄائيندڙ منظر هر شهر ۽ ڳوٺ ۾ نظر اچڻ لڳو. دشمنن جي گهرن ۾ هڪ رعب ۽ خوف جي حالت هئي ۽ مسلمانن جي دلين ۾ نيون امنگون ۽ نوان ولولا پيدا ٿي رهيا هئا ۽ پنهنجي مستقبل لاَءِ شاندار اميدون پيدا ٿي رهيون هيون ۽ لکين قداور ۽ سهڻا جوان سينن کي اڀاري خاڪسارن جي صفن ۾ بيهي رهيا هئا ۽ چپ راست جو هيبتناڪ آواز پاڙن ۽ گهٽين ۾ هر روز ٻڌيو پيو ويندو هو ۽ نوجوانن کي ته ڇڏيو پر ستر ستر ورهين جا پير مرد به جوان بڻجي فوجي قطارن ۾ اچي شامل ٿيندا هئا ۽ گهرن ۾ ويٺل پرده نشين عورتون به گهٽين مان چپ راست جو آواز ٻڌي ”الله اوهان کي سوڀون ڏي“ جون دعائون ڪنديون هيون ۽ پنجن پنجن ورهين جا ننڍڙا مسلمان ٻچڙا پنهنجي راند لاءِ ننڍڙا بيلچا کڻي سينن کي اڀاري قطارن ۾ هلڻ لڳا ۽ رانديڪن جي بدران پنهنجي پيَءُ کي چوڻ لڳا ته ”بابا مون کي بيلچو ۽ وردي ٺهرائي ڏي“ بابا آءُ اسلام جو سپاهي ٿيندس.

مطلب ته خاڪسار تحريڪ قوم جي سينن ۾ هڪ هيجان پيدا ڪري ڇڏيو ۽ قوم جي خاموش سمنڊ ۾ اهو طوفان آندو جو قوم جو هر فرد اسلامي غلبه ۽ اسلامي حڪومت جي وري ڏسڻ لاءِ بيقرار ٿي پيو ۽ اها قوم جنهن کي ڪجهه سال اڳ ڪو به مقصد سامهون نه هو سا هڪ عظيم الشان نصب العين لاءِ پنهنجن هٿن پيرن سان چرپر ڪرڻ لڳي وئي ۽ جهاد في سبيل الله جي تيارين ۾ عملي طرح مشغول ٿي وئي.

هي ڳالهه اهڙي نه هئي جنهن کي انگريز صبرسان ڏسي سگهي ۽ خاڪسارن جي هن عظيم الشان ۽ هندستان گير حرڪت لنڊن ۾ ويٺل انگريز جو آرام ڦٽائي ڇڏيو ۽ وائيٽ هائوس ۾ هڪ زلزلي جي حالت پيدا ڪري ڇڏي ۽ وڏا وڏا سياستدان انگريز مٿي کي هٿ ڏيئي سوچڻ لڳا ته خاڪسارن جي هن عظيم الشان طوفان کي ڪيئن منهن ڏجي ۽ غلبه اسلام جي هن وڌندڙ سيلاب کي ڪيئن روڪجي!

مسلمان کي مسلمان کان مارايو!

هندستان مان اسلامي حڪومت جي نام و نشان مٽائڻ ۽ عظيم الشان اسلامي شهنشاهيت جي انگريزن سان گڏجي بيخ و بنياد اکيڙڻ ۾ جن ٻن مشهور شخصيتن حصو ورتو تن جو نالو ميرجعفر۽ مير صادق آهي. علامه اقبال مرحوم هندستان مان مسلمانن جي حڪومت ختم ٿيڻ تي ڳوڙها ڳاڙيندي انهن ٻن بدنام شخصيتن جو ذڪر هن طرح ڪري ٿو:-

جعفر از بنگال و صادق از دکن

لنگه ملت لنگه دين لنگه وطن!

هيءَ انگريز جي پراڻي چال آهي ته هو مسلمانن جو ڳلو مسلمان کان ئي ڪپائيندو آهي ۽ مسلمانن کي مسلمان کان ئي مارائيندو آهي. هندستان جي مير جعفر ۽ مير صادق جي ڇا خصوصيت آهي بلڪه حجازجو شريف حسين ۽ مصر جو محمد علي پاشا ۽ ٻيون ڪيتريون اهڙيون غدار ملت شخصيتون اسلامي تاريخ ۾ هڪ بدنما داغ طور موجود آهن جن اسلام جي برباديءَ ۾ انگريز جا اوزار بڻيا.

خاڪسار تحريڪ جو عروج ۽ مسلمانن جي غلبه اسلام جي منزل ڏانهن تيز رفتاري انگريز کي بيحد پريشان ڪيو خصوصن جنگ جي زماني ۾ انگريز هن تحريڪ جي وڌندڙ جوش و خروش کي نهايت خوف ۽ شڪ جي نظر سان ڏسي رهيو هو ۽ هو هن ڳالهه جي پٺيان هو ته هن تحريڪ کي ڪنهن طرح ختم ڪري ۽ هن تحريڪ جي ختم ڪرڻ لاءِ اهو ساڳيو رستو اختيار ڪيو جيڪو انگريز هميشه اهڙن موقعن تي ڪندا آهن. يعني ”مسلمان کي مسلمان کان مارايو.“

هندستان جي سرزمين تي پنجاب جي سر سڪندر کان وڌيڪ انگريز جو وفادار ڪير هو؟ هي اهو مشهور شخص هو جيڪو گذريل جنگ عظيم ۾ عراق جي ميدانن تي پاڪ جاين جي آبرو لاءِ لڙندڙ ترڪن ۽ عربن جي سينن تي پنهنجون گوليون آزمائي چڪو هو ۽ انگريز وٽ پنهنجي ملت فروشي ۽ مسلم ڪشي جي ڪري محبوب ۽ مقبول ٿي چڪو هو. انگريز انهي کان ئي خاڪسار تحريڪ دٻائڻ جو ڪم ورتو ۽ سر سڪندر تحريڪ تي بندشون وڌيون ۽ خاڪسار اسلام جي هن عسڪري روح ۽ فوجي زندگي کي هن طرح برباد ٿيندو خاموشي سان برداشت نه ڪري سگهيا تنهنڪري هنن لاهور ۾ 19 مارچ سنه 1940ع تي انهيءَ ظالمانه حڪم جي انحرافي ڪري اصحاب بدر جي ڳاڻيٽي ٿي 313 مجاهدن جو جيش ڪڍيو پر بيرحم سڪندر کي هنن مسلمانن جي نونهالن ۽ اسلامي عسڪريت جي عاشقن تي ذرو به رحم نه آيو ۽ پنهنجي پوليس جي هٿان انگريز کي خوش ڪرڻ لاءِ هن اسلامي جيش تي گولين جو مينهن وسارايو جنهن ۾ اٽڪل پنجاهه نوجوان پنهنجي جگر تي گوليون جا ڌڪ سهي شهادت جو پيالو پي ويا ۽ سوين زخمن کان چور ٿي ميئو اسپتال ۾ تڙپڻ لڳا. اهڙي طرح اسلامي غلبي جي متوالن اسلام جي آبرو بچائڻ لاءِ پنهنجي جان جو سودو ڪيو ۽ مسلم ڪش مسلمان جي ظلم جو مقابلو ڪيو. اهي سهڻيون صورتون ۽ پياريون مورتون جن هن ڪفرستان۾ الله جي نالي تان ڪٽجي مرڻ جو بنياد وڌو ۽ لاشن جي انبار تي اسلام جي عمارت جو پايو رکيو سي اڃا تائين اکين اڳيان ڦري رهيون آهن ۽ ڪڏهن به وسرڻ جون ناهن.

بنا گرد ند خوش رسمي بخاکه و خون غلطيدن،

خدا رحمت کندابن عاشقان پاڪ طينيت را!

اسلام جي جنازي ۾ آخري ميخ!

سر سڪندر سمجهيو ته هو هن طرح خاڪسارن تي گولي هلائي خاڪساري کي ختم ڪري ڇڏيندو ۽ اسلامي عسڪريت جي روح کي هميشه لاءِ برباد ڪري ڇڏيندو ليڪن گولي لڳڻ کانپوءِ کيس معلوم ٿيو ته اهو خيال غلط هو ۽ مسلمانن جي سينن ۾ خاڪسارن جي هن قتل عام هڪ آگ لڳائي ڇڏي ۽ چوطرف کان سر سڪندرتي لعنت ۽ ڦٽڪارجي وسڪار ٿيڻ لڳي.

حادثي جي ٻي ڏينهن کان لاهور ۾ مسلم ليگ جو ساليانو اجلاس شروع ٿيو هو ۽ مسلمانن کي ايترو جوش هو جو سر سڪندر جي مسلم ليگ جي اجلاس ۾ اچڻ وقت هڪ هيجان برپا ٿي ويو ۽ مسٽر جناح جيڪڏهن هوشياري کان ڪم وٺي مسلمانن کي مطمئن نه ڪري ها ته ليگ جو اجلاس به ختم ٿي وڃي ها. ليڪن اهو ڪم جو سر سڪندر جون گوليون نه ڪري سگهيون سو محترم مسٽر جناح پنهنجي عقل مدي سان ڪري ڏيکاريو ۽ خاڪسار تحريڪ تان بندش لهڻ ۽ شهيدن جي خون جو مطالبو جو مسلمان ڪري رهيا هئا تنهن تان مسلمانن کي محترم مسٽر جناح اهڙيءَ طرح لاٿو جو انگريز کي مسٽر جناح جون پيڙهين تائين شڪرگذار رهڻ گهرجي.

محترم جناح اجلاس جو صدر هو ۽ هن مسلمانن جي جوش کي ڏسي نهايت جوش سان تقرير ڪئي ۽ اعلان ڪيو ته جيستائين هو خاڪسارن جي خون جو بدلو نه وٺندو تيستائين خاموش ٿي نه ويهندو ۽ مسلمانن کي خوش ڪرڻ ۽ انهن جي جوش کي ڍرو ڪرڻ لاءِ پنهنجي طرفان خاڪسارن جي همدردي جو ٺهراءُ پيش ڪيو. اهڙي طرح هن پنهنجي قابليت سان جلسي تي قابو حاصل ڪيو ۽ مسلمانن جي جوش کي ٿڌو ڪري پنهنجو ڪم ڪڍيو.

درحقيقت اهو ٺهراءُ خاڪسارن جي همدردي لاءِ نه هو بلڪه مسلمانن جو جوش ٿڌو ڪري ۽ مسلمانن کي ويساهه ڏيئي خاڪسارن جو خون ٻوڙڻ ۽ خاڪسار تحريڪ کي ختم  ڪرڻ لاءِ هو. ڇا انهيءَ کانپوءِ دنيا ڏٺو ته مسٽر جناح خاڪسارن جي بدلي وٺڻ کانسواءِ بلڪل آرام نه ڪيو ۽ سر سڪندر کان خاڪسارن کي بدلو وٺي ڏنو؟ انا لله و انا اليه راجعون.

بلڪه اهو اجلاس درحقيقت خاڪسار تحريڪ کي فنا ڪرڻ لاءِ سڏايو ويو هو ۽ خاڪسارن کي هن طرح هڪ ليگي وزيرن گوليون سان مارايو تنهن کانپوءِ مسٽر جناح هن طرح خاڪسارن جو خون ٻوڙايو اهو سڀ کيل هو جيڪو لارڊ لنٿگر جي اشاري تي تيار ڪيو ويو هو ۽ ماڻهن جي نظرن غلبه اسلام جي مقصد کان هٽائڻ لاءِ انهي اجلاس ۾ پاڪستان جو ريزوليشن  پاس ڪيو ۽ انهي پاڪستان جي ٺهراءُ جو مسودو انهي بي رحم خوني سر سڪندر جو ئي تيار ڪيل هو.

مطلب ته خاڪسار تحريڪ تي پابندي، خاڪسارن تي گولين جي بارش! ۽ عام مسلمانن کي چالاڪي سان خاموش ڪري ڇڏڻ کانپوءِ خاڪسارن جي مقصد کي ختم ڪرڻ لاءِ انهي پاڪستان جي ريزوليشن کان وڌيڪ ٻيو ڪو به ڪارآمد هٿيار نه هو. اهو ريزوليشن اسلام جي جنازه ۾ آخري ميخ هئي جيڪا مسٽر جناح پنهنجي هٿن سان لڳائي ۽ مسلمانن جي توجهه کي هڪ عجيب نموني سان فوجي زندگي جي پروگرام ۽ غلبه اسلام جي نصب العين کان هٽايو.

فڪر ناهي ته اڄ مسلمان مسٽر جناح جي چالاڪي ۾ اچي ويا آهن ليڪن مسٽر جناح جو هي جادو مسلمانن تي هميشه رهڻ وارو ناهي ۽ عنقريب مسلمانن کي معلوم ٿي ويندو ته مسٽر جناح جو پاڪستان اهو ناهي جيڪو مسلمان گهرن ٿا بلڪه مسٽر جناح جو پاڪستان انگريز جو پاڪستان آهي ۽ مسلمانن کي غلام رکڻ جو پاڪستان آهي ۽ عرب، ترڪي، ايران، افغانستان، مصر ۽ سوڊان وغيره اسلامي ممالڪ کي انگريز جي رعب ۽ تسلط هيٺ رکڻ جو پاڪستان آهي ۽ انگريز ئي اهو پاڪستان جو بيجان بت مسلمانن جي اڳيان رکيو آهي تا نه انهيءَ جي محبت ۾ غلبه اسلام جو جيئندو جاڳيندو ۽ خطرناڪ مقصد مسلمانن کي وسري وڃي ۽ مسلمان غلبه اسلام جو جيئندو جاڳندو ۽ خطرناڪ مقصد مسلمانن کي وسري وڃي ۽ مسلمان غلبه اسلام جي فوجي تحريڪ کي ڇڏي هڪ ريزوليشن پرست ۽ وات جا ڦٽاڪا ڇوڙيندڙ جماعت ۾ شامل ٿي وڃن ۽ انگريز جي لاءِ خاڪسار تحريڪ مان جيڪو خطرو پيدا ٿيو هو سو هميشه لاءِ پاڪستان جي بهالا سان دٻجي وڃي ۽ غلبه اسلام جي نالي سان تمام دنيا تي ڇائنجي وڃڻ جو پروگرام جو علامه مشرقي تيار ڪيو آهي سو ختم ٿي وڃي ۽ بس!

مسٽر جناح جو پاڪستان!

خاڪسار تحريڪ ۽ خاڪسار لٽريچر جا ملڪ ۾ آگ لڳائي ڇڏي تنهن انگريز جا حوصلا پست ڪري ڇڏيا ۽ هن ڏٺو ته هندوستان جو مسلمان وري روءِ زمين تي غالب ٿيڻ جا خواب لهي رهيو آهي ۽ روءِ زمين تي ڇائنجي وڃڻ جا طريقا اختيار ڪري رهيو آهي ۽ خاڪسار جو فوجي وردين، پريڊن ۽ ڪئمپن ۽ خلق جي خدمت سان ماڻهن جي دلين تي قابض ٿي وڃڻ اهڙو خطرناڪ پروگرام هو جيڪو انگريز جي برداشت ڪرڻ کان ٻاهر هو ليڪن هي جيڪا غلبه اسلام جي آگ دلين ۾ لڳي چڪي هئي ۽ خاڪسار تحريڪ مسلمانن ۾ پنهنجي حڪومت جو جيڪو تخيل پيدا ڪري چڪي هئي انهيءَ کي دلين مان ڪڍڻ انگريز جي وس کان ٻاهر هو تنهن اهڙو طريقو اختيار ڪيو جو ”نانگ به مري ۽ لٺ به نه ڀڄي“ مسلمان پنهنجي مقصد کان به هٽي وڃن ۽ ائين به نه سمجهن ته هو ڪو مقصد کان هٽي ويا آهن بلڪه ائين سمجهندا رهن ته هو اسلامي راڄ لاءِ ڪوشش ڪري رهيا آهن. ليڪن مسلمانن کي معلوم هجڻ گهرجي ته کين پاڪستان ۽ پنهنجي حڪومت جي نالي سان انگريز جا ايجنٽ ڌوڪو ڏئي رهيا آهن. مسٽر جناح جو پاڪستان اهو آزاد اسلامي پاڪستان ناهي جنهن جو نقشو اوهان جي دماغن ۾ آهي بلڪه اهو بلڪل ٻيو آهي. مسٽر جناح جي پاڪستان جي شڪل انهن ٻن پهاجن واري پاڪستان جي آهي جيڪي پاڻ ۾ ٺهن نٿيون ۽ هڪڙي زال کان ناراض ٿي مڙس کي چوي ٿي ته آءُ هن رن سان گڏ ڪا نه رهنديس، هي رن ويڙهاڪو آهي، هن جا ٻار منهنجي ٻارن کي مارين ٿا ۽ هن جا ٻار منهنجي ٻارن جي ديڳڙن مان ڀت کايو وڃن تنهنڪري مون کي جدا گهرٺاهي ڏي ۽ ٽڙ ٽپڙ جدا ڪري ڏي آءُ انهيءَ رن سان ڪنهن به صورت ۾ گڏ ڪا نه رهنديس.“

بس مسٽر جناح جي هندستان ۽ پاڪستان جي اها ئي معنيٰ آهي هن کي فقط پنهنجي پهاڄ هندو کان ناراضگي آهي، گهر جدا ڪرڻ جو فڪر آهي ٽڙ ٽپڙ الڳ ڪرڻ جي ڳڻتي آهي باقي مڙس سان ڪو به اختلاف ناهي ۽ انگريز کي تڙڻ جو ڪو به خيال ناهي ۽ اسلامي حڪومت بڻائڻ جو ڪو به فڪر ناهي.

سچو پاڪستان ڪيئن ٿيندو؟

اڄڪلهه اليڪشن جو زمانو آهي سڀڪا جماعت پنهنجا ماڻهو چونڊرائڻ لاءِ هٿ پيرهڻي رهي آهي ۽ ڪوڙ بدوڙ هڻي اسيمبلي جون سيٽون هٿ ڪرڻ جي فڪر ۾ آهي. ڪانگريس جا ڪالهه شملا ۾ انگريز سان گڏجي وائسراءِ جي زير صدارت ايگزيڪيوٽو ڪائونسل ٺاهڻ لاءِ انگريزجي در تي نڪ رڳڙي رهي هئي سا اڄ ”ڪئبٽ انڊيا“ جو نعرو هڻي چونڊن جي ميدان تي نڪتي آهي ۽ انهيءَ سوال تي چونڊو لڙي رهي آهي ته هو چونڊن ۾ ڪامياب ٿي انگريز کي هندستان مان ڪڍندي!

ڪانگريس جي انهيءَ ”ڪئبٽ انڊيا“ يا هندستان مان نڪري وڃو جو ڪهڙو اثر ٿيندو اهو دنيا کي معلوم آهي. ڇا اهڙي نعري سان انگريز هليا ويندا ۽ انگريز جن جرمني ۽ جاپان جهڙيون عظيم الشان قوتون پنهنجي مستقل مزاجي ۽ شجاعت ۽ عقلمندي سان اونڌيون ڪري ڇڏيون آهن سي ڪانگريس جي انهيءَ نعري ۽ ريزوليشن کان دٻجي هندستان ڇڏي ويندا؟ ڇا گذريل پنجويهن سالن کان ڪانگريسي گدڙن وانگر تاڙيون وڄائي ”ڪا نه کپي ڪال نه کپي ظالم هي سرڪار“ ڳائي نه رهيا آهن؟ ڇا پوءِ انگريز ويو هليو؟ جيڪڏهن نه ته پوءِ ”ڪئبٽ انڊيا“ ۾ ڪهڙو ائٽم بم آهي جنهن کان انگريز ڊڄي هندستان ڇڏي ويندو. في الحقيقت اهو سڀ ڌوڪو ۽ چونڊن لڙڻ جي چالاڪي اهي ۽ ماڻهن جي عقلن سان راند ڪري سندن ووٽ وٺڻا آهن ۽ بس؟

بلڪل اهڙي طرح مسلم ليگ جو پاڪستان جو هوڪو آهي جنهن جي ذريعي مسلم ليگ تي ڇانيل هي انگريز ضربخالي جا تيار ٿيل سر ۽ نواب، خانبهادر ۽ سردار بهادر وغيره وغيره انقلاب جا مالڪ اسيمبلين تي قبضو ڪرڻ گهرن ٿا ۽ هي وڏا ماڻهو غريب مسلمانن جي سر تي پنهنجو راڄ قائم ڪرڻ گهرن ٿا.

هي سڀ ووٽن وٺڻ لاءِ کيل آهي غريب مسلمانن کي ڌوڪو ڏئي کين پنهنجي غلامي ۾ رکڻ جي چال آهي ورنه پاڪستان يا پنهنجي حڪومت ريزوليشن، نعرن ۽ بيانن ڪڍڻ ۽ انٽرويو شايع ڪرائڻ سان ڪڏهن ملي آهي؟ ڇا ڪڏهن ڪنهن قوم اهڙي طرح زمين جو هڪ انچ به حاصل ڪيو آهي؟ تاريخ توهان جي سامهون آهي. ساڍا تيرنهن سئو ورهيه اڳ عرب ۾ جيڪو اسلام جو انقلاب آيو سو ڪهڙي ٺهراءَ ۽ بيان جي زور تي آيو؟ ڇا فرانس جو انقلاب ڪنهن ريزوليشن جو نتيجو هو؟ ڇا آمريڪا جي انگريزن کان نجات ڪنهن نعري ۽ انٽرويو جي ڪري ٿي؟ ڇا روس جي زار شاهي کان نجات اتي جي ماڻهن ”فلڪ شگاف“ نعرن ۽ جلسن جي ”ٺاٺن هڻندڙ سمنڊ“ جي زور تي حاصل ڪئي هئي؟ جيڪڏهن نه ۽ هرگز نه ۽ اهو فقط قرباني جو ڪرشمو هو ۽ سر ڌڙ جي بازي لڳائڻ جو نتيجو هو ۽ قومن جون قسمتون  فقط خون سان ئي بدلجن ٿيون ته پوءِ مسلم ليگ جو هي نعرو فقط ووٽن وٺڻ لاءِ آهي ۽ وڏن ماڻهن جي هٿان غريبن جو رت چوسائڻ لاءِ آهي ۽ اهڙي وزارت ٺاهڻ لاءِ آهي جهڙي اٺ سال اڳ اوهان اکين سان ڏٺي جنهن مسلمان جي تباهي ۾ ڪسر نه ڇڏي ۽ مسلمان جي عزت آبرو، شرم حيات ۽ دولت ۽ ملڪيت لٽڻ ۾ ڪا گهٽتائي نه ڪئي.

مسلمانو! مسلم ليگ وري اوهان کي ظلم جي انهيءَ باهه ۾ اڇلڻ ٿي گهري جنهن اٺن سالن تائين اوهان جي جگرن کي جلايو ۽ مسلم ليگ وري انهن ماڻهن کي پاڪستان جي بهاني تي اوهان جي مٿي تي مڙهڻ گهري ٿي جن کان اوهين بيزار ٿي چڪا آهيون.

مسلمانو! جيڪڏهن توهان کي حقيقي پاڪستان کپي پنهنجي حڪومت کپي، اسلام جو غلبو کپي ۽ روءِ زمين تي الله جي قانون ۽ قرآن جي بادشاهي کپي ته پوءِ توهان خاڪسار تحريڪ ۾ شامل ٿي وڃو جنهن اسلام جي غلبي ۽ پنهنجي حڪومت جو تخيل پيدا ڪيل ۽ جنهن تي مسلمانن جي سينن ۾ اسلام جي عروج جي تڙپ پيدا ڪئي ۽ هي پاڪستان جو نعرو به مسٽر جناح خاڪسار تحريڪ جي مقصد غلبه اسلام کان مرغوب ٿي ايجاد ڪيو آهي ورنه مسٽر جناح اهو ساڳيو آهي جنهن کي ٽيٽيهه سيڪڙو ۽ ”چوڏهن پانئٽن“ کانسواءِ ٻيو ڪجهه ايندو ئي ڪو نه هو.

مسلمانو‘ بدقسمتي سان مسلمانن مان ئي مسلمانن جا دشمن پيدا ٿيڻ ڪري خاڪسار تحريڪ، غلبه جي مقصد، غلبه اسلام جي مجاهدانه پروگرام کي ڌڪ لڳو آهي ۽ خاڪسار تحريڪ جو سپاهيانه پروگرام ڇهن سالن جي عرصي کان بند ٿي ويو آهي. هن وقت جنگ ختم ٿي چڪي آهي انگريز کي اسان جي سپاهيانه پروگرام تان بندش نه لاهڻ لاءِ ڪو به سبب نه رهيو آهي. هن وقت فقط اوهان کي مسلمانن جي همدردي جي ضرورت آهي. اوهان جي ساٿ ڏيڻ جي ضرورت آهي. اوهان جيڪڏهن هنن چونڊن ۾ اسان جو ساٿ ڏنو ۽ ڪانگريس جي ”ڪئبيٽ انڊيا“ ۽ مسلم ليگ جي ”پاڪستان“ جي زباني ڦٽاڪن هيٺ نه آيا ۽ پنهنجو ووٽ خاڪسار اميدوارن کي ڏيئي چونڊي موڪليا ته پوءِ خاڪسار اسيمبلي ۾ وڃي اسلام جي فوجي نظام تان بندش لهرائيندا، پريڊن ۽ فوجي ڪئمپن تان رڪاوٽ کڻائيندا ۽ اسلام جي غلبه لاءِ تياري ڪرڻ ۽ مسلمان قوم کي ساري جو سارو فوجي بڻائڻ لاءِ ميدان صاف ڪندا.

مسلمانو! جڏهن توهان جي قوم سپاهي ٿي وئي، مجاهد ٿي وئي، خدا ۽ اسلام لاءِ خون ڏيڻ لاءِ تير ٿي وئي ته پوءِ پاڪستان توهان جو آهي، بلڪه سارو ايشيا نه ته بلڪه سارو يورپ ۽ ساري دنيا اوهان جي آهي.

مسلمانو! پاڪستان جو صحيح رستو اهو آهي سچو پاڪستان انهيءَ طرح حاصل ٿيندو باقي مسٽر جناح وارو پاڪستان ۽ مسلم ليگ جو پاڪستان ته انگريز جو رانديڪو آهي. انهيءَ لاءِ ايجاد ڪيو ويو آهي ته اوهان غلبه جو مقصد وساري ڇڏيو ۽ هميشه انگريز جي در تي سر بسجود رهو!

مسلمانو! خبردار تجو هن نالي جي پاڪستان جي ڌوڪي ۾ اچي پنهنجو ووٽ نه وڃائجو ۽ پاڻ تي ظالمانه وزارت وري نه قائم ڪرائجو. اوهين ليگ وارن کي آزمائي چڪا آهيو انهن جي اسلام ۽ مسلمان سان سچائي پرکي چڪا آهيون هن وقت وري توهان کي انهن جي دام ۾ ڦاسڻ نه گهرجي. هن وقت توهان جي اڳيان خاڪسار پهريون دفعو ووٽ وٺڻ لاءِ آيا آهن. خاڪسارن جون اسلامي جهاد لاءِ تياريون، اسلام جي لاءِ قربانيون ۽ خلق خدا جون خدمتون اوهان جي اکين اڳيان آهن تنهنڪري هينئر اوهان جي ووٽ جا حقدار اوهان جا خاڪسار ڀاءُ آهن جيڪي چونڊجي وڃڻ کانپوءِ سچو پاڪستان آڻڻ لاءِ اسلام جي حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ لاءِ رستو صاف ڪندا ۽ ظلم ۾ پيڙهيل مسلمان کي هن ظلم جي طريفي جي حڪومت کان نجات ڏيندا.

خدا جا بندئو! خدا کي سامهون رکي انصاف ۽ امانت سان پنهنجي ووٽ کي استعمال ڪجو!

ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ

هن وقت هندوستان ۾ هڪڙا مسلمان ڪانگريس ۾ شامل آهن ۽ ٻيا مسلم ليگ ۾. جيڪي ڪانگريس سان شامل آهن تن جو چوڻ آهي ته مسلم ليگ هڪ بي عمل رجعت پسند ٽوڊين ۽ سرڪاري سرن جي جماعت آهي. اهي بجاءِ آزاديءَ لاءِ لڙڻ جي حڪومت جي وفاداري جا گيت ڳائيندا رهندا. مسلم ليگ وارن جو چوڻ آهي ته جيڪي مسلمان ڪانگريس ۾ آهن سي قوم جا غدار آهن ۽ سخت غلطيون ڪري رهيا آهن. ڇو ته انهن کي گهربو هو اول پنهنجي ڀائرن جي جماعت ۾ شامل ٿي پنهنجي قوم کي تنظيم سان مضبوط ڪري هڪ جماعت ٿي پوءِ ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿين ها مگر انهن پنهنجي قوم کي ڇڏي جلدبازيءَ کان ڪم ورتو آهي. تنهنڪري هو غدار آهن ۽ غلطي تي آهن.

هي هر ڪنهن کي ملزم آهي ته موجوده آزاديءَ جي لڙائي توپن ۽ تلوارن جي ڪانهي بلڪه قلم ۽ دماغ ڪثرت ۽ قلت جي جنگ ۽ سياسي شطرنج جو کيل آهي. تنهنڪري هن وقت جنهن وٽ اهو خزانو موجود هوندو سو يقينن ڪامياب ٿيندو. انهيءَ کان ڪو به انڪار نه ڪندو ته اسان جا غيرمسلم وطني ڀائر علم توڙي دولت ۾ ڪمال پيدا ڪري شهر ۽ ڳوٺن بازار توڙي سرڪاري دفترن تي پورو قبضو ڪري چڪا آهن. هو سياست جي تمام ور ۽ پيچن کان خوب واقف ٿي چڪا آهن. تعداد جي لحاظ  سان به هو ڪثرت ۾ آهن برخلاف انهن جي مسلمان قوم، مفلس، مزدور بي آشيانه ۽ مقروض علم ۾ پٺتي، تجارت کان دور تعداد ۾ ٿورا. اهڙي حالت ۾ هو دور انديشي ڪري ڪانگريس ۾ چند شرائطن سان شريڪ ٿيڻ گهرن ٿا ته جيئن هو پنهنجي ڪمزور حالت سان طاقت جي هٿان ذليل نه ٿين ته مٿن مسخري ڪئي پئي وڃي. عام مسلمان جيڪي ٿورا گهڻا ڪانگريس ۾ شامل آهن سي ڪانگريس جي مهاسڀائي ذهنيت کان چڱي طرح واقف آهن. مگر هو انهي ڪري مجبور ٿيا آهن جو جمعيت العما ڪانگريس سان شامل آهي.

غور سان ڏٺو وڃي ته مسلم ليگ هن وقت اها مسلم ليگ ڪانهي جنهن ۾ ٽو ڊي ۽ سرڪاري خوشامدي شامل هجي. هن وقت مسلم ليگ ۾ وڏو حصو انهن مجاهدن جو آهي جن خلاف تحريڪ ۾ آزاديءَ لاءِ هر ڪا قرباني ڪئي. علاوه ان جي علماءِ ڪرام جو به چڱو تعداد شريڪ آهي.

هندو مسلم اتحاد

هندو ۽ مسلم اتحاد لاءِ هن کان اڳ به ڪيترائي دفعا ڪوشش ٿي. مگر ڪانگريسي ليڊرن جي مهاسڀائي ذهنيت ڪو نه ڪو اٽڪاءَ پيدا ڪندي رهي ڇو ته هندو مسلم اتحاد ۾ رڪاوٽ پيدا ڪندڙ هميشه اها ڳئو ماتا رهي آهي جنهن کي هندو پنهنجي ديوتا سمجهي پوڄا ڪندا رهيا آهن. اها ڳئون ماتا هميشه هندو قوم ۾ مسلمانن جي خلاف جوش پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ هڪ ڪارگرهٿيار ثابت ٿيندو رهيو آهي. ڇاڪاڻ ته عام هندوئن کي سوراج جي معنيٰ اها ٻڌائي وئي آهي ته ڳئون ماتا جو بچاءُ ڪرڻ لاءِ اسان هندو راج قائم ڪرڻ گهرون ٿا. هندوستان جا اصلي رهاڪو هندو آهن. مسلمان ۽ عيسائي ٻاهران آيل آهن مسلمان بادشاهن اسان هندوئن تي ڏاڍا ظلم ڪيا آهن مسلمانن ۽ عيسائي اسان جي ڳئون ماتا کي قربان ڪري اسان جي ملڪ کي ناس ڪري رهيا آهن. ٻئي طرف مسلمانن کي چئي رهيا آهن ته اوهان اسان جا ڀائر آهيو اچو ته ملي انگريزن کي هتان ڪڍون ۽ پوءِ هندوستان ۾ گڏجي حڪومت هلايون ۽ انگريزن سان لنڊن ۾ کاڌا کائي شراب پي انهن کي ڪن ۾ ٻڌائي رهاي آهن ته اوهان اسان تي ڪاوڙ نه ڪريو اسان اوهان جا خيرخواهه آهيون. اسان جو اوهان کانسواءِ ٻيو ڪير مددگار آهي. مسلمانن کي ته مسلماني حڪومتن تي ناز آهي اسان سڀ ڪجهه اوهان جي سايه هيٺ گهرون ٿا. اسان غدر 1857ع کان وٺي هميشه اوهان سان وفادار ٿي رهندا اچون ٿا پر اوهان به اسان تي مهربان ٿي رهو. اها ئي ٻه رنگي پاليسي ۽ بدنيتي آهي. جيڪا هندو مسلمانن کي نه ملڻ ڏنو آهي نه ملڻ ڏيندي. هوڏانهن حڪومت جو به ساڳيو مقصد آهي جيڪو هندو قوم پورو ڪري رهي آهي.

غدر 1857ع

غدر 1857ع ۾ اها آزادي جي لڙائي هئي جيئن وقت هندستانين وٽ هٿيار هئا. انهن وٽ مسلمانن کي ڪهڙي ريت ڌوڪو ڏنو ويو تنهن لاءِ تاريخ غدر دهلي پڙهي ڏسو انهي غدر کان بعد مسلمان قوم پٺتي پوڻ لڳي. ڇو ته هر طرف گورنمينٽ تمام مسلمانن کي بدگمان ٿي چڪي هئي. يورپين قوم مسلمانن کي دشمن جي حيثيت سان ڏسي رهي هئي. انگريزي اخبارن ۾ مسلمانن جي خلاف خوب مضامين شايع ٿي رهيا هئا. ٻئي طرف مسلمانن جي گهرن ۾ ڇهن سئو ورهن جي حڪومت وڃڻ جو ماتم هو. ٽئين طرف علماءَ ڪرام جي فتويٰ هئي ته ڪو به مسلمان انگريزي زبان نه پڙهي. جيڪو انگريزي پڙهندو سو ڪافر آهي. انهن موقعي کانپوءِ هندو قوم خوب فائدو حاصل ڪيو. انهن هڪ طرف انگريزن سان ساز بازپيدا ڪئي ۽ وفاداري جا گيت ڳايا ٻئي طرف جلد انگريزي تعليم حاصل ڪري تمام سرڪاري آفيسن تي قبضو ڪري ورتو. انهن سان گڏ ڳئون ماتا جي رکشا جي بهاني سان مسلمانن جي خلاف پنهنجو پراڻو ڇوت ڇات جو اوزار ڪم آڻي مسلمانن کي اقتصادي حالت ۾ ڪمزور ڪيو ويو.

هندوستان ۾ مسلمانن ڇهه سئو ورهيه حڪومت ڪئي تاريخ شاهد آهي ته انهن ڇهن سئو ورهين ۾ هندو مسلمانن جا ڪهڙا تعلقات رهيا.

ڇوت ڇات جو نالو به ڪو نه هو. هندو مسلمان گڏجي کائيندا هئا. هڪٻئي جي شادي غميءَ ۾ شريڪ ٿيندا هئا. نه صرف اهو بلڪه ڪيترن مغل شهزادن جي گهرن ۾ هندو راڻيون هيون. مگر غدر 1857ع کان بعد حڪومت ۽ هندو قوم گڏجي مسلمانن کي پوئتي وڌو.

ارڙهن سالن بعد يعني 1875ع ۾ وري مسلمانن تي الله جو فضل شروع ٿيو جيڪو قوم کي سر سيد رحمت الله عليہ جهڙو رهنما ملي ويو جنهن قوم جي بيماري کي ڏسي علاج شروع ڪيو يعني عليڳڙهه ۾ ڪاليج جو بنياد رکيو. مرحوم سرسيد رحمت الله عليہ جي خلاف خوب پروپيگنڊا ڪيو ويو کيس ڪافر بڻايو ويو فتوائون ڪڍيون ويون ته ڪو به مسلمان ڪاليج ۾ نه پڙهي. سرسيد اسلام جو دشمن آهي حڪومت جو جاسوس آهي وغيره، پر هن مرد ميدان ڪا به پرواهه نه ڪئي ۽ سڀ ڪجهه صبر سان برداشت ڪري پنهنجو ڪم ڪندو رهيو. جنهن جو نتيجو هي نڪتو جو انهن ڪاليج مولانا محمد علي، شوڪت علي، ظفر علي خان وغيره جهڙا هزارين هيرا پيدا ڪيا.

ڪانگريس

1885ع ۾ هڪ يورپين مسٽر ايلن اڪٽاوين هو برٽش سول سروس کان رٽائرڊ ٿي مسٽر گوڪلي وغيره سان ملي ڪانگريس جو بنياد وڌو ۽ انهن جو پهريون اجلاس 28 ڊسمبر 1885ع ۾ زير صدارت مسٽر ڊبليو بينر جي بمبئي ۾ ٿيو. جنهن سبب سرڪاري خوشامدي ۾ خطاب يافته اصحاب شامل ٿيا. جن سرڪار جي وفاداري جا گيت ڳايا ۽ پنهنجن حقن لاءِ ريزوليشن پاس ڪيا انهي زماني ۾ ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿيندڙ ڊيليگيٽ لاءِ اهو شرط هو ته هو انگريزي پڙهيل هجي. اهو شرط انهيءَ ڪري هو ته مسلمان زياده تعداد ۾ حصو نه وٺي سگهن ته جيئن هندو ۽ پارسي قوم جي ڪثرت يعني گهڻائي سان هو پنهنجا حق حڪومت کان حاصل ڪندا رهن.

مسلم ليگ

21 سالن ۾ ڪانگريس خوب ڪم ڪري تمام سرڪار دفترن تي قبضو ڪري ورتو. تڏهن ڪن مسلمانن کي هوش آيو ته دنيا ڪيڏانهن وڃي رهي آهي ۽ اسان خواب غفلت ۾ مدهوش آهيون. ۽ انهن محسوس ڪيو ته اسان کي به پنهنجن حقن لاءِ جماعت بنديءَ جي ضرورت آهي.

آخر نواب سليم الله صاحب مرحوم نواب ڍاڪا جي تحريڪ سان مسلم ليگ جو بنياد وڌو ويو جنهن جو پهريون اجلاس زير صدارت نواب وقار الملڪ صاحب جي 1906ع ۾ ڍاڪا ۾ ٿيو.

مسلم ليگ قائم ٿيڻ سان خوب پروپيگنڊا ڪيو ويو ته اها جماعت حڪومت جي اشاري سان انهي لاءِ قائم ڪئي وئي آهي ته هندو مسلمانن ۾ نفاق پيدا ٿئي.

ٻئي طرف ڪانگريس وارن هندو مسلم اتحاد جو راڳ شروع ڪيو ۽ مسلم ليگ کي شڪست ڏيڻ لاءِ هندو مهاسڀا قائم ڪئي وئي جيڪا هندو مسلم اتحاد جي مخالفت ڪندي رهي جيئن ته ڪانگريس وارن دنيا ۾ مشهور ڪيو هو ته ڪانگريس مشترڪه جماعت آهي. جنهن ۾ هندستان جون سڀ قومون شريڪ آهن تنهنڪري ڪن مسلمانن کي پئسا ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ڪيو ويو.

ڏسو تيج 24 نومبر 1926ع

جهڙيءَ طرح 1907ع تائين ڪانگريس يعني 21 سالن تائين فقط سرڪار جي وفاداريءَ جا گيت ڳائيندي رهي ۽ 1907ع ۾ مسلم ليگ کي شڪست ڏيڻ لاءِ ڪجهه قدم اڳيان وڌايو يعني 1907ع واري ڪانگريس جيڪا زير صدارت راش بهاري گوش جي صورت ۾ ٿي تنهن ۾ هٿيارن جي بندش واري قانون جي مخالف ڪئي وئي ۽ هوم، رول جي گهر ڪئي وئي اهڙيءَ طرح مسلم ليگ به 1910ع تائين سرڪار جي وفاداريءَ جا گيت ڳائيندي رهي ۽ 1910ع کان بعد فرقيوارانه سياست جي محدود دائري کان ٻاهر قدم رکيو ۽ 1911ع واري مسلم ليگ جيڪا زير صدارت ۾ سيد نبي الله شاهه عليگ جي ناگپور ۾ ٿي تنهن ۾ هندو مسلم اتحاد لاءِ ريزوليشن پاس ڪيو ويو، جنهن جو نتيجو هي نڪتو جو 1912ع واري ڪانگريس جيڪا زير صدارت آر اين مدهولڪر بانڪي پور ۾ ٿي تنهن ۾ مسلمانن چڱو حصو ورتو جنهن مان هي صاحب قابل ذڪر آهن:- مولانا حسرت موهاني، مسٽر رحمت الله سياني، سرابراهه رحمت الله، سر حسن امام بدر الدين طيب جي وغيره.

ڳئون ماتا جي مهرباني

1915ع واري مسلم ليگ جيڪا زير صدارت مسٽر محمد علي جناح جي لکنو ۾ ٿي تنهن ۾ زور شور سان هندو مسلم اتحاد کي مضبوط ڪرڻ لاءِ ريزوليشن پاس ڪيو ويو پر بدقمستيءَ سان ڳئون ماتا هندو مسلمانن ملڻ نه ڏنو ۽ عيد قرباني جي موقعي تي اجوڌيا ۽ مظفرنگر ۾ هندو مسلم فساد ٿي پيو. اڃان هي واقعو تازو هو ته 1917ع ۾ آرا شاهه آباد ۾ عيد قرباني جي موقعي تي 25 هزار هندن اوچتو مسلمانن تي حملو ڪري کين بيدرديءَ سان مارايو. جنهن جو مثال اڳي ڪڏهن به هندستان جي تاريخ ۾ نظر نٿو اچي.

هڪ طرف هندو قوم جي اها حالت ٻئي طرف ڪلڪتا جي هڪ اخبار انڊين ڊيلي نيوز آنحضرت صلي الله عليہ وسلم جي ذات مبارڪ تي ڪمينو حملو ڪيو، جنهنڪري ساري هندوستان جي مسلمانن ۾ جوش پيدا ٿي ويو. انهن واقعن مسلم ليگ کي وڌيڪ طاقتور بڻايو ۽ مولانا عبدالباري مرحوم، مولانا ڪفايت الله، مولانا احمد سعيد، مولانا آزاد سبحاني، مولوي ثناءَ الله وغيره اچي مسلم ليگ ۾ شامل ٿيا.

سياسي بيداري

1919ع جو منحوس ۽ مبارڪ سال هو منحوس انهيءَ ڪري هو جو انهيءَ رولٽ ايڪٽ پاس ڪيو ويو جليانوالہ باغ واري خونريزي ٿي. مبارڪ انهيءَ ڪري هو جو انهيءَ سال هندوستان ۾ آزادي جي سچي لهر پيدا ٿي ۽ هندو مسلمانن ۾ سچو اتحاد ٿي ويو.

رولٽ ايڪٽ جي خلاف مسٽر گانڌي جي حڪم سان ساري هندستان ۾ هڙتال ڪئي وئي. ۽ مسٽر گانڌي کي قوم مهاتما جو لقب ڏنو.

1919ع ۾ هندستان مسلمانن ۾ اهڙو ته اتحاد پيدا ٿي ويو جو هندو مسلمان گڏجي کائو کاڌو امرت سر ۾ ملسمانن رام نومي جي جلوس ۾ حصو ورتو. احمد آباد ۾ مسلمانن ليڊرن کي تلڪ لڳايا ويا. دهلي ۾ سوامي شردها نند کي جامع مسجد جي ممبر تي چاڙهي تقرير ڪرائي وئي. امرتسر واري ڪانگريس جيڪا زير صدارت حڪيم اجمل خان مرحوم ٿي، تنهن ۾ فيصلو ڪيو ويو ته ايندڙ بقر عيد تي مسلمان ڳئون قربان نه ڪن. جنهن جو نتيجو هي نڪتو جو ساري هندستان ۾ ڳئون قرباني بند ڪئي وئي.

مطلب ته 1919ع جهڙو اتحاد هندو مسلمانن ۾ شايد وري مشڪل ٿئي. انهيءَ کان بعد ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ ۾ پورو اشتراڪ عمل ٿي ويو. جتي ڪانگريس جو اجلاس ٿيو ٿي اتي مسلم ليگ جو اجلاس ڪيو ويو ٿي. ته جيئن مسلمان ٻنهي جماعتن ۾ آساني سان حصو وٺي سگهن.

ڪانگريس کان مسلمانن جي عليحدگي

1921ع ۾ ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ جا اجلاس گڏ احمد آباد ۾ ٿيا. ڪانگريس جو صدر حڪيم اجمل خان صاحب هو. مسلم ليگ جو صدر مولانا حسرت موهاني هو. انهيءَ موقعي تي مولانا حسرت موهاني صاحب ڪانگريس ۾ ڪامل آزادي جي تجويز پيش ڪئي، جنهن جي مهاتما گانڌي ۽ هندو قوم سخت مخالفت ڪئي. جنهنڪري مسلمانن جو وڏو حصو ڪانگريس کان جدا ٿي ويو.

1923ع ۾ جڏهن ڪانگريس جي پوزيشن بلڪل خراب ٿي چڪي هئي تڏهن حڪومت موقعو ڏسي سوامي شڌانند ۽ ٻين ڪيترن سياسي قيدين کي ڪن شرطن سان آزاد ڪيو. سوامي صاحب جيل مان ٻاهر نڪري ملڪانه آگره جي مقروض مسلمانن ۾ شدهي جو ڪم شروع ڪري ڏنو.

انهن کي مرتد بڻايو ويو. هن وقت ڪن علمائن مقابلي جي تياري ڪئي.  پر ڪانگريسي ملسمانن کين روڪيندا رهيا. آخر جڏهن پاڻي سر کان مٿي چڙهي آيو تڏهن لاچار جمعيت العلماءِ ۽ ٻيا مولوي ڪانگريسي مسلمانن جي ڪا به پرواهه نه ڪري ميدان ۾ ڪاهي پيا ۽ خوب تبليغ جو ڪم شروع ڪري ڏنائون.

هوڏانهن هندو مهاسڀا سنگٽن جو ڪم شروع ڪري ڏنو. اکاڙا قائم ڪيا ويا. مسجدن اڳيان باجا وڄايا ويا جنهنڪري ساري هندستان ۾ هندو مسلمانن جا فساد شروع ٿي ويا. اها حالت ڏسي 2 سيپٽمبر 1924ع ۾ مهاتما گانڌي اعلان ڪيو ته جيڪڏهن هندو مسلمان اهو شدهي ۽ تبليغ جو ڪم بند نه ڪندا ته مان جيل ۾ فاقو ڪڍي جان ڏيندس. انهيءَ اعلان گانڌي جي چيلن جو سک ڦٽائي ڇڏيو ۽ انهن گڏجي فيصلو ڪيو ته اهو شدهي ۽ تبليغ جو ڪم بند ڪيو وڃي.

درحقيقت اها به هندو قوم جي هڪ چال هئي ڇو ته جيئن وقت مسلمانن تبليغ جو ڪم شروع ڪيو ته شدهي وارن جو هوش گم ٿي ويو. انهن ڏٺو ته حق ۽ باطل ۾ ڪهڙو فرق آهي. جيڪڏهن تبليغ جو ڪم بند نه ڪيو وڃي ها ته دنيا ڏسي وٺي ها ته ٿوري وقت ۾ هندوستان جا اٺ ڪروڙ مسلمان ارڙهن ڪروڙ ٿي وڃن ها. ڪثرت تي ناز ڪندڙن جو ڪنڌ هيٺ ٿي پوي ها. آخر وڏن وڏن ليڊرن جي چوڻ تي مهاتما گانڌي جي جان بچائڻ لاءِ شدهي ۽ تبليغ جو ڪم بند ڪيو ويو ۽ وري هندو مسلم اتحاد جو تماشو شروع ڪيو ويو. انهيءَ سال مسلم ليگ جو اجلاس زير صدارت مسٽر محمد علي جناح لاهور ۾ ٿيو. جتي مسٽر محمد علي جناح ڪانگريس سان پڪو اتحاد ڪرڻ لاءِ چوڏهن شرط پيش ڪيا جنهن جي سڀني علمائن تائيد ڪئي. 1925ع ۾ ڪانگريس مسلم ليگ جا اجلاس گڏ ڪلتڪا ۾ ٿيا. انهيءَ سال ڪانگريس ۾ نهرو رپورٽ پيش ڪئي وئي جنهن جي مسلمانن سخت مخالفت ڪئي ۽ وري ڪانگريس کان ڌار ٿي ويا. وري 20 مارچ 1927ع زير صدارت مسٽر محمد علي جناح دهلي ۾ مسلم ليگ جو اسپيشل اجلاس سڏايو ويو جنهن ۾ مرحوم مولانا محمد علي، شوڪت علي، مولوي شفيع دائودي، مولانا عرفان سيد مرتضيٰ شاهه وغيره حصو ورتو انهي اجلاس ۾ گڏيل انتخاب کي چند شرائطن سان انهي ڪري قبول ڪيو ويو ته جيئن ڪانگريس ۽ مسلم ليگ ۾ اتحاد ٿي وڃي پر مغرور ڪانگريس ڪو به خيال نه ڏنو ۽ برخلاف انهي جي هندو مهاسڀا جي اشاري تي مسجدن جي اڳيان باجا وڄائي هر طرف فساد برپا ڪيا ويا. انهيءَ زماني ۾ جمعيت العلماءِ به ڪانگريس کان جدا هئي. 1929ع ۾ قومپرست مسلمانن هڪ جماعت نالي مسلم نيشنلسٽ پارٽي قائم ڪئي جنهن جو پهريون جلسو زير صدارت مولانا ابوالڪلام آزاد صاحب الهه آباد ۾ ٿيو.

اها حالت ڏسي ڪانگريس وارن جو ڪجهه نشو دور ٿيو ۽ لاهور واري ڪانگريس جيڪا زير صدارت جواهر لال نهرو منعقد ٿي جنهن ۾ نهرو رپورٽ کي رد ڪيو ويو ۽ ڪامل آزادي جو اعلان ڪيو ويو. جنهنڪري مسلمانن وري ڪانگريس ۾ دلچسپي وٺڻ شروع ڪئي انهيءَ ڪامل آزادي جي جڏهن تشريح پڇي وئي ته ٻڌايو ويو ته اسان گورنمينٽ جي زير سايه آزادي گهرون ٿا. 1935ع ۾ حڪومت انڊيا ايڪٽ 1937ع جو اعلان ڪيو جنهن ۾ سنڌ وغيره جي جدائي بابت ۽ وزارتن جو ذڪر هو تنهن جي هندو قوم مخالفت ڪئي پر موقع تي يڪدم وڃي ڪونسل تي قبضو ڪيو هن وقت فيڊريشن جي به ڪانگريس جي صدر صاحب سڀاش چند بوش سخت مخالفت ڪئي آهي مگر جواهر لال نهرو يورپ ۾ وڃي معمولي ترميمون ڪرائڻ لاءِ زور ڏئي رهيو آهي. نيٺ نتيجو هي نڪرندو جو ڪانگريس خوشيءَ سان فيڊريشن قبوليندي.

اڇوتن ۾ تبليغ اسلام جو ڪم زوردار ڏسي مهاتما جو سک ڦٽي پيو ۽ فاقا ڪاٽڻ لڳو ۽ جڏهن تبليغ جو ڪم بند ٿيو ته پاڻ اڇوت اڌار جي ڪم کي لڳي ويو. انهيءَ موقعي تي انهن سڀني ڪانگريسي هندو مسلمانن جا چپ بند ٿي ويا جن تلبيغ جي ڪم کي روڪڻ لاءِ هر ڪا ڪوشش ورتي.

آخري نوٽ

مطلب ته جڏهن جڏهن مسلمانن ۾ ڪجهه سياسي يا مذهبي بيداري پيدا ٿي آهي ته انهن ڪامل آزاديءَ جي پوڄارين مسلمانن کي تنظيم کان پري رکڻ. انهن ۾ نفاق پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ اتحاد جي بناوٽي راڳ شروع ڪيو آهي. ته جيئن مسلمان قوم هميشه ڪمزور رهي. ساڳيو راڳ جو 1936ع کان شروع ٿيو آهي سو وري تازو بمبئي ۾ شروع ڪيو ويو. هوڏانهن انهن غدار مسلمانن جا پيغام پهچي رهيا هئا ته خبردار انهن سان ڪنهن به قسم جي صلح ڪرڻ اسان جي بيعزتي آهي.

نيٺ نتيجو هي نڪتو جو فقط هڪڙي معمولي ڳالهه تان (يعني مسلم ليگ کي مسلمانن جي واحد نمائنده جماعت تسليم ڪيو وڃي) اتحاد جو تماشو ختم ٿي ويو ۽ جواب ڏنو ويو ته جنهن صورت ۾ مسلمانن جون ٻيون جماعتون جهڙوڪه جمعيت العلماءِ، خدائي خدمتگار ۽ احرار پارٽي وغيره به آهي تنهن صورت ۾ فقط مسلم ليگ کي مسلمانن جي واحد جماعت تسليم نٿو ڪري سگهجي. هن کان اڳ پنڊت جاوهر لال نهرو چيو ته هندستان ۾ ٻه طاقتون آهن هڪ سرڪار برطانيا ٻي ڪانگريس. پر هڪ سال کانپوءِ کيس قبول ڪرڻو پيو ته ٽئين جماعت مسلمانن جي مسلم ليگ آهي ۽ لکنئو پيڪٽ وقت بابو چندر پرشاد به قبول ڪيو هو ته مسلم ليگ مسلمانن جي واحد جماعت آهي.

وري انشاءُ الله جنهن وقت ملسم ليگ جو تنظيمي پروگرام عمل ۾ اچڻ شروع ٿي ويو ته خود بخود ڪانگريس کي مڃڻو پوندو ته برابر مسلم ليگ مسلمانن جي واحد نمائنده جماعت آهي. تعجب آهي ته ڪانگريس جنهن ۾ ته هندو مهاسڀائي شامل نه 10 ڪروڙ اڇوت، نه پارسي، سک وغيره سڀ شريڪ ڏهه ڪروڙ مسلمان (سواءِ چند غدارن جي) شامل هندوستان جي واحد جماعت ٿي سگهي ٿي.

پر مسلم ليگ جا 32 سالن کان قائم آهي جنهن ۾ وڏو حصو مسلمانن جو شامل آهي جنهن سان ڪيئي ڀيرا پاڻ ڪانگريس اشتراڪ عمل ڪري چڪي آهي. سا اڄ مسلمانن جي واحد جماعت ڪانهي. جمعيت العلماءِ خاص علمائن جماعت آهي جنهن جي هن وقت هي حالت آهي جو مولانا ڪفايت الله، مولان احمد سعيد، مولانا حسين احمد مدني چند عالمن جي جماعت وڃي رهي آهي. وڏو حصو علماءِ ڪرام جو عليحده ٿي چڪو آهي. احرار پارٽي پنجاب جي انهن مسلمانن جي پارٽي جن جو مقصد هو ڪشمير ۾ ستياگره ڪرڻ، جنهن جا پوءِ ٻه حصا ٿي پيا. هڪ اتحاد ملت، ٻيا احراري ۽ هن وقت احرار پارٽي جو نالو آهي.

خدائي خدمتگار هڪ سرحدي چند پٺاڻن جي جماعت جو نالو آهي جيڪي خان عبدالغفار جا معتقد آهن.

مسلم ليگي ٽو ڊي آهن

چيو وڃي ٿو ته مسلم ليگ ٽوڊين ۽ رجعت پسندن جي جماعت آهي. جنهن جي جواب ۾ عرض اهي ته هندو مهاسڀا جنهن ۾ ڀائي پرمانند، ڊاڪٽر مونجهي، جيڪر ساپرو، ڊآهولڪر، مدن موهن مالوي وغيره جهڙا تو ڊي شامل آهن. پر هندو قوم بجاءِ انهن کي ٽو ڊي سڏڻ جي عزت جي نگاهه سان ڏسي رهي آهي. هندو قوم پاڻ کي چئن حصن ۾ ورهائي ڪم ڪري رهي آهي هڪڙا اهي جيڪي خاص ڪانگريسي آهن ٻيا فقط مهاسڀائي آهن، ٽيا اهي جيڪي ڪانگريس ۾ به آهن ۽ مهاسڀا ۾ به آهن چوٿان نه ڪانگريس ۽ نه مهاسڀا ۾ خاص حڪومت جا يار وفادار آهن. مسلمانن جي بدبختي چئبي جو ڪن مسلمانن انهي مسلم ليگ کي ڪجهه وقت کان مرده ٿي چڪي هئي تنهن ۾ نئين سر روح پيدا ڪري مسلمانن کي تنظيم ۽ يڪجهتي پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ هڪڙي مرڪز تي آڻڻ جي ڪوشش شروع ڪئي آهي ته نام نهاد مسلمانن کڻي هاءِ گهوڙا مچائي آهي ۽ هند هند عيب جوئي شروع ڪري ڏني اٿن. مثل مشهور آهي ته جماعت ماڻهن سان جڙندي آهي ماڻهو جماعت سان ڪو نه جڙندا آهن اها ساڳئي مسلم ليگ آهي جنهن جو 1919ع ۾ صدر حڪيم اجمل خان مرحوم هو. اها ساڳئي مسلم ليگ آهي جنهن جو 1920ع ۾ صدر ڊاڪٽر انصاري هو.

اها ساڳئي مسلم ليگ آهي جنهن جو 1921ع ۾ صدر مولانا حسرت موهاني هو. جنهن ۾ مولانا ڪفايت الله، مولانا احمد سعيد وغيره سڀ شامل هئا. اها ساڳئي مسلم ليگ آهي جنهن ۾ هن وقت مولانا حسرت موهاني مولانا ظفر علي خان صاحب، مولانا شوڪت علي، مولانا عبدالحامد بدايوني، مولانا اشرف علي صاحب ٿانوي، مولانا محمد شعيب ناظم، جمعيت العلماءِ صوبه سرحد، مولانا غلام بيگ نيرنگ صاحب، مولانا جمال الدين، مولانا عبدالباري صاحب، مولانا صبغت الله فرنگي محل، مولانا مظهرالدين شير ڪوٽي، ايڊيٽر الامان، مولانا محمد عمر صاحب نعماني شملا، مولانا ابوالقاسم فضل الحق بنگال، مولانا عبدالصمد صاحب ناظم جمعيت العلماءِ صوبه متحده، مولانا قاضي عبدالغفار صاحب ايڊيٽر پيام وغيره ۽ پنجاب جون تمام اخبارون. دهلي جون تمام اخبارون سواءِ الجمعيت ۽ انصاري جي ۽ مجنور جي مدينه ۽ سنڌ جي اصلاح جي شامل آهن.

قائداعظم مختار الملڪ مسٽر محمد علي صاحب جناح

چيو وڃي ٿو ته مسلم ليگ جو صدر هڪ ٽوڊي ۽ شيعو آهي اهو اعتراف انهيءَ جماعت جو آهي جيڪي ڪڏهن خداپرست هئا اڄ هو پاڻ کي وطن پرست سڏائي رهيا آهن جن کي الله تعاليٰ تمام قومن جو سردار سڏيو تن جو سردار هڪ مشرڪ ۽ ملحد آهي. هي اها جماعت آهي جنهن ڪامل آزادي جو اعلان ڪري سرڪار برطانيا جي وفاداري جو قسم کائي ڪونسل جي ڪرسي کي آزادي سمجهيو آهي. مسلم ليگ هڪ سياسي جماعت آهي انهي جو اڳواڻ به سياست جو ماهر هئڻ گهرجي.

مسٽر جناح بابت مخالفن جي به اها راءِ اهي ته هو سٺي دماغ جو سياستدان آهي. هندو قوم گانڌيءَ کي پنهنجو اڳواڻ بڻائڻ وقت اهو اعتراض ڪو نه اٿاريو ته گانڌي هڪ بئريسٽر آهي ۽ ويش قوم جي مان آهي هو برهمڻ ۽ کترين جو اڳواڻ نٿو ٿي سگهي.

هو پنڊتن ۽ سوامين جو رهنما نٿو ٿي سگهي. گانڌي هڪ مسٽر آهي انهن هڪ مسٽر کي مهاتما جو لقب ڏئي عزت ڏني. مسٽر محمد علي جناح هڪ ڪلمه گومسلمان آهي انهي کي انهن عالمن ۽ ليڊرن ۽ عام مسلمانن گڏجي پنهنجو اڳواڻ بڻايو آهي جن هر ڪنهن قومي تحريڪ ۾ حصو وٺي قرباني ڪئي آهي. انهن جواهرلال جهڙي ملحد گانڌي جهڙي ٻه روپي ٻاپوکي اڳواڻ ڪو نه بڻايو آهي.

جيڪي صاحب چون ٿا ته مسلمانن کي اکيون پوري ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿي ڪانگريس تي قبضو ڪرڻ گهرجي تن کي اهو به سوچڻ گهرجي ته فرض ڪيو سڄي هندوستان جا مسلمان سڀ کڻي ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿين ته جملا ڪروڙ مسلمان ٿيندا. هوڏانهن هندو به سڀ ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿين ۽ ضرور ٿيندا ته 23 ڪروڙ ٿيندا. وري به ڪثرت هندو قوم جي رهندي. انهيءَ ڪري مسٽر جناح اهو شرط پيش ڪيو ته مسلمانن جون سيٽون جدا مقرر ڪيون وڃن ۽ مرڪز ۾ ميمبرن جو تعداد ڪثرت توڙي قلت وارين قومن جو هڪ جيٽرو هجي ڇو ته اڄ ڪلمه دنيا ۾ تلوار جي لڙائي ڪانهي. ڪثرت ۽ قلت قلم ۽ اخبار جي لڙائي آهي جنهن قوم وٽ زياده اخبارون آهن اها ڪامياب آهي.

هن وقت جيڪي مسلمان اکيون پوري وزارت جي لالچ ڪري يا انهي ڪري ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿيا آهن جمعيت العلماءِ ڪانگريس سان شامل آهي تن جي خدمت ۾ عرض آهي ته عزيزو اوهان جي دل ۾ جيڪڏهن ملت جو سچو درد آهي جيڪڏهن اوهان پنهنجي قوم کي هڪ مرڪز تي جمع ڏسڻ گهرو ٿا انهن کي تنظيم جي طات سان مضبوط بڻائڻ گهرو ٿا ته هن تقليد جي بت کي پرزا پرزا ڪري مسلم ليگ ۾ شامل ٿي وڃون ۽ جيڪڏهن ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿيو ته اول پنهنيج قوم کي هڪ مرڪز تي مضبوط بڻائي يڪجهتي پيدا ڪري گڏجي عزت سان ڪانگريس ۾ شامل ٿيو. باقي هن ڇڙوڇڙ حالت ۾ مسلمانن کي هڪ طرف انگريزن جو ٻئي طرف هندن جو غلام ٿي رهڻو پوندو.

مسلمان ۽ آزادي

رهيو آزادي جو سوال تنهن بابت عرض آهي ته دنيا ۾ اهڙو ڪهڙو بدبخت انسان هوندو جنهن کي آزادي پسند نه هوندي جڏهن ته حيوان به آزاديءَ کي پسند ڪن ٿا تڏهن انسان اشرف المخلوقات آزادي کي پسند نه ڪندو اهو ناممڪن آهي. اڄ دنيا جون ٻيون قومون هندوستان وارن کي انهي ڪري نفرت سان ڏسي رهيون آهن جو هو نه صرف پاڻ غلام آهن بلڪه انهن جي ڪري ٻيون ڪيتريون قومون غلام آهن. چيو وڃي ٿو ته جيسين هندو مسلمان پاڻ ۾ اتفاق ڪري ڪانگريس کي طاقتور نه بڻائيندا تيسين آزادي حاصل نه ٿيندي. اهو بلڪل سچ آهي. انهي کان ڪنهن کي به انڪار ڪونهي. بشرطيڪ جيڪڏهن ڪانگريس صحيح معنيٰ ۾ ڪانگريس ٿي ڪم ڪري. سچو اتحاد تڏهن ٿيندو جڏهن ٻنهي قومن جون نيتون صاف هجن. هندو قوم جي اها نيت ته اول انگريزن کي هندستان مان ڪڍيو وڃي پوءِ مسلمانن کي ڪڍي رام راڄ قائم ڪجي. معمولي جانور يعني ڳئون لاءِ انسان ذات کي تڪليف ڏني وڃي انهن جون خون ڪيو وڃي.

اها اردو زبان جيڪا عربي فارسي، هندي مان هندوستان ۾ هندو مسلمانن لاءِ مشترڪه زبان تيار ڪئي وئي تنهنجي مخالفت ڪري هندي جو پرچار ڪيو وڃي. مسلمانن جي جذباتن کي ڀڙڪائڻ لاء مسجد جي اڳيان باجا وڄايا وڃن. اهڙيون ڪيئي ڳالهيون آهن جيڪي هميشه اتحاد ۾ خلل پيدا ڪنديون رهن ٿيون. اهو ئي سبب آهي جو بناوٽي ۽ سياسي اتحاد گهڻو وقت قائم نٿو رهي ۽ انهيءَ بناوٽي سياسي اتحاد سان آزادي حاصل به ڪا نه ٿيندي. سچو اتحاد تڏهن قائم ٿي سگهي ٿو جڏهن سڀ قومون هڪٻئي جي عزت ڪرڻ سکنديون. هن وقت ڪانگريس تي قبضو هندو سرمايه دارن جو آهي جن کي پنهنجي ڪثرت، دولت ۽ طاقت تي ناز آهي. هو ڪمزور قومن کي نفرت جي نگاهه سان ڏسي رهيا آهن هو انگريزن سان پنهنجا مطالبات حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ وڙهي رهيا آهن پر پنهنجن ڪمزور ڀائرن مسلمانن لاءِ اڇوت وغيره جي مطالبات کي ٺڪرائي رهيا آهن.

برادران اسلام:- ڪانگريس آهستي آهستي پنهنجي اصلي مقصد ڏانهن اچي رهي اهي يعني لالا هرديال جي خيالن کي عملي جامو پهرائي رهي اهي. اها اڇوت اڌار اسڪيم هندي زبان جو پرچار فوجي تعليم وڌيا مندر بندي ماترم جا گيت اهي سڀ لالا هرديال جي خيال جا پرزا آهن. لالا هرديال پنهنجي مضمون ۾ ڏيکاريو آهي ته اول مسلمانن جي خوشامد ڪريو ۽ کين ڪانگريس ۾ ملائي حڪومت کي ڏيکاريو وڃي ته ڪانگريس مشترڪه جماعت آهي. پوءِ حڪومت کان آهستي آهستي حق حاصل ڪجن ۽ جڏهن ڪجهه حق چڱا ملي وڃن ته پوءِ اول هندستان ۾ هندي زبان کي رائج ڪجي ۽ اردو زبان کي بند ڪجي ته جيئن مسلماني ڪلچر ۽ لٽريچر برباد ٿي وڃي ۽ هندو ڪلچر هندو لٽريچر ترقي وٺي. اسڪولن ۽ مدرسن جا نالا بدلائي هندي يعني وڌيا مندر رکڻ گهرجن. مسجد کي پوڄا مندر سڏيو وڃي ٻارڻ کي بندي ماترم جا گيت پڙهايا وڃن. پوءِ اکاڙا قائم ڪري هندو قوم کي طاقتور بڻائجي. فوجي ڪاليجون کولي هندن کي فوجي تعليم ڏجي. دولت ۾ واپار ۾ تعداد ۾ اسان زور آهيون فقط اهي گهٽايون آهن سي جيڪڏهن پوريون ٿيون ته پوءِ يقين ڄاڻو هندوستان ۾ اسان جو اڄ هوندو مسلمانن کي هتان لڏڻو پوندو.

اهڙيءَ طرح هندوستان کي ڳئون ماتا جي دشمن کان خالي ڪرائي شڌ ڀارت بڻائجي. تنهنڪري سخت ضرورت آهي ته مسلمان قوم کي تنظيم جي طاقت سان منظم ڪرڻ انهن ۾ يڪجهتي پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ انهن کي هڪڙي مرڪز تي جمع ڪيو وڃي. انهيءَ ضرورت کي مدنظر رکي قوم جي خيرخواهه رهنمائن مسلم ليگ کي نئين سر زندهه ڪرڻ شروع ڪيو آهي. تنهنڪري مسلمانن کي گهرجي ته هو ٻه آنا چندو ساليانو ڏئي مسلم ليگ جا ميمبر ٿي وڃن. جنهن وقت مسلمانن ۾ ڪامل اتحاد ٿي ويندو تنهن وقت مغرور ڪانگريس به ڪجهه جهڪندي ۽ آزادي سندن پير چمندي.

اسلام جو اهو خوشنصيب زمانو جنهن کي قرون اعليٰ جو زمانو چيو وڃي ٿو اهو برڪت وارو زمانو جيڪو خلفائي راشدين جي مبارڪ وجود سان روشن هو ان وقت مسلمانن ۾ تنظيم هئڻ ڪري مڪمل اتحاد هو. اخلاق هو، سچائي هئي ۽ روحانيت هئي. دنيا ڏٺو ته چند گودڙي پوش ساري دنيا تي پکڙجي ويا انهن جي صدائي تڪبير قيصر يڪسريٰ جي ڪوٽن جا ڪنگرا ڏڪائي ڇڏيا. انهيءَ زماني جا مسلمان سڀ کان وڏي مصيبت سڀ کان وڏو غضب نفاق کي سمجهندا هئا. درحقيقت نااتفاقي خدائي قهر آهي جنهن کان فرعون جي قوم به پناهه گهري هئي. مسلمانو جيڪڏهن اوهان هن غلامي جي لعنت کان آزاد ٿيڻ گهرن ٿا ته خدارا اميدوار ٿيو.

صبح صادق جي روشني نروار ٿي چڪي آهي. بيدار ٿي پنهنجن انهن غفلت شعار ڀائرن کي هوشيار ڪريو جيڪي مشرڪن جي دام ۾ گرفتار ٿي چڪا آهن ته جيئن ايندڙ انقلاب کان اڳ جنهن جا آثار ظاهر ٿي چڪا آهن هوشيار ٿي سڀني ذاتي ۽ فروعني جهڳڙن کي ڇڏي نفسانيت ۽ ذاتي اغراضن کان دل کي صاف ڪري نااتفاقي  جي باهه کي پريم جي پاڻي سان وسائي ڇاتي ڇاتيءَ سان لائي هڪ ٿي ۽ هڪ مرڪز تي جمع ٿي فقط هڪ خدائي وحد جي ڀروسي تي عمل ۽ ايثار سان دنيا کي ثابت ڪري ڏيکاريون ته مسلمان قوم زندهه آهي. مسلمان سپاهي آهي ۽ آزادي حاصل ڪرڻ سپاهي جو ڪم آهي.

مُسلِم ليگ جي ضرورت

ڪانگريس هڪ مشتروڪه جماعت آهي جنهن ۾ فيصلو به مشترڪه ٿي سگهن ٿا. پر مسلمانن لاءِ هڪ اهڙي جماعت جي سخت ضرورت آهي جنهن جي جهنڊي هيٺ سڀ مسلمان متحد ٿي سگهن ۽ متحد ٿي پنهنجي مالي اقتصادي مذهبي سياسي حالت سڌاري سگهن. جهڙي طرح هندو قوم پنهنجي پنگتي ڌرمي ڪمن لاءِ هندو مهاسڀا قائم ڪئي آهي انهيءَ ضرورت کي پوري ڪرڻ لاءِ نئين سر مسلمانن جي انهي پراڻي جماعت جنهن جو نالو مسلم ليگ آهي زندهه ڪيو ويو آهي. جنهن جا هن وقت هيٺان مقاصد آهن.

(1) هنودستان ۾ ڪامل آزادي لاءِ جدوجهد ڪرڻ.

(2) هندوستاني مسلمانن جي مذهبي سياسي حقن ۽ مفاد جي ترقي لاءِ ڪوشش وٺڻ.

(3) دنياوي اسلام سان رشته اخوت قائم ڪرڻ.

(4) غير قومن سان دوستانه تعلقات وڌائڻ وغيره.

خالقڏنه هال ۾ مسلم ليگ جو زبردست اجلاس

وديا مندر اسڪيم، حيدرآباد ۽ فلسطين بابت ٺهراءُ پاس ڪيا ويا.

ڪالهه آچر ڏينهن شام جو نماز مغرب کان بعد مسلمانان ڪراچي جو هڪ عظيم الشان اجلاس سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي زير سايه خالقڏنه هال ۾ منعقد ٿيو. جلسي جي ڪارروائي پوري ساڍي ستين بجه شروع ٿي.

اسٽيج تي ڪيترائي ڪراچي جا معزز ويٺل هئا. سارو هال ماڻهن سان سٿيو پيو هو ۽ جاءِ نه ملڻ ڪري ڪيترائي ماڻهو هال جي ٻاهران ۽ دروازن تي آخر تائين بيٺا رهيا. حاضرين جو تعداد 4، 5 هزارن جي لڳ ڀڳ هو جنهن مان معلوم ڪري سگهبو ته باوجود هن جي جو ڪيترائي اسيمبلي جا ميمبر فاني غرضن جي بنياد تي قوم فروشي ڪري مسلم ليگ کان باغي ٿيا آهن مگر عام مسلمانن کي مسلم ليگ سان غير فاني محبت آهي.

جلسي جي ڪارروائي سر عبدالله هارون جي صدارت هيٺ تلاوت قرآن مجيد، مسلم ليگ جي ترانن، قومي نظمن ۽ مسلم ليگ زنده باد جي فلڪ شگاف نعرن سان شروع ڪئي وئي، جلسي ۾ آءُ نظر علي ايڊيٽر سنڌ زميندار سکر، سيد علي محمد شاهه راشدي، حڪيم عبدالمجيد شيرواڻي، خانبهادر محمد ايوب کهڙو، سر حاجي عبدالله هارون، مولوي عبدالحئي حقاني ۽ مسٽر فيروز الدين احمد ۽ ٻين ولوله انگيز تقريرون ڪيون. دوران تقرير ۾ مقرر، سنڌ وزارت جي پاليسي ۽ ان جي خط و خال تي به روشني وڌي. سر غلام حسين هدايت الله جنهن تازو مسلم ليگ پارٽيءَ سان بي وفائي ڪري وڃي وزارت پارٽي ۾ شريڪ ٿيو آهي ۽ جلد وزير ٿيڻ وارو آهي، تن جي به اهڙي روش کي ننديو ويو.

ميان فيروز الدين احمد وڪيل جيڪو لاهور لکان آيل هو تنهن جي تقرير نهايت سبق آميز پر جوش حقيقتن ۽ واقعات سان ڀريل هئي. هن صاحب ڪانگريس ۽ ڪانگريس جي جوابدار ليڊرن مهاتما گانڌي سرڪار پٽيل پنڊت جواهر لال نهرو ۽ مسٽر پرم جي هند رانه ۽ معصتبانه غنيمت تان پردو کڻي واقعات ۽ دليلن جي روشني ۾ ثابت ڪري ڏيکاريو ته ڪانگريس جو مقصد هندستان اندر هندو راڄ ۽ خاص هندو راڄ قائم ڪرڻ کانسواءِ ٻيو ڪجهه نه آهي. ڪانگريس تعليم گاهن کي مندر بڻائي رهي آهي، گائر رکشا ۽ قريم رکشا پونم تحريڪون هلائي، اهڙي قسم جا ٺهراءُ آل انڊيا ڪانگريس ڪميٽي هي اجلاسن اندر پاس ڪيا وڃن ته ڪانگريس به آزاد خيال اسٽيبلشمينٽ خيال ڪئي وڃي، مگر جيڪڏهن مسلمان مسجدن جي اڳيان باجا وڄائڻ ۽ اسڪولن کي مندر بڻائڻ تي اعتراض وٺڻ انهن کي ڪٽر، معصب ۽ فرقه پرستي جا طعنا ڏنا وڃن ٿا. هن سنڌ وزارت جي باري ۾ تقرير ڪندي چيو ته هنن جي ناڪيلي سردار ولڀ ڀائي پٽيل جي هٿ ۾ آهي جنهن ڪري خانبهادر الهه بخش بار بار وٽس ڀڳو بيٺو آهي.

ميٽنگ ۾ فلسطين، وديا مندر اسڪيم حيدرآباد دکن ۾ هندن جي شورش ۽ سي پي ۾ مدينه العلم تحريڪ بابت ريزوليشن پاس ٿيا.

پڇاڙي ۾ سيد علي محمد شاهه راسدي مسلم ليگ پبلڪ پڪار آفيس جي سيڪريٽري رپورٽ پيش ڪئي ته سنڌ اندر مسلم ليگ ٻن مهينن اندر ڪهڙا ڪهڙا ڪم ڪيا آهن وقت ڪافي گذرڻ سبب جلسو ساڍي 10 بجي مهل ختم ڪيو ويو ۽ ڪيترائي سوال ايجنڊا تي هئا جيڪي رهجي يا.

ريزوليشن ٻئي اشاعت ۾ ڏنا ويندا.

مسجد منزل گاهه ستيا گره ۾ مجاهدين اسلام

اسلامي شان شوڪت ۽ روايات جو زنده مثال قائم ڪيو

مجاهد سمورو وقت پرامن عدم تشدد تي پيروي ڪئي.

سر حاجي عبدالله هارون صدر صوبه سنڌ مسلم ليگ جي پڌرائي.

سکر 6 آڪٽوبر، (خاص تار)

سر عبدالله هارون مسجد منزل گاهه جي واقعات بنسبت هيٺيون بيان ڪڍيو آهي:-

جنهن حالت ۾ سرڪار هزارين ستياگرهي مجاهدن کي گرفتار ڪرڻ ۾ قاصر رهي آهي تنهنڪري ستياگره ڊڪٽيٽر والنٽيئرن کي سکر ڇڏي وڃڻ جو حڪم ڏنو آهي ۽ فقط اوترا مجاهد مسجد ۾ رکيا ويا آهن جيڪي مسجد جي قبضا رکڻ لاءِ ضروري سمجهيا ويا. هزارين مجاهد خاموشي سان سکر مان روانا ٿي ويا ۽ خود مسجد منزل گاهه ۾ جن 500 مجاهدن جمعي نماز پرامن طريقي سان ادا ڪئي ۽ ڪنهن به قسم جو ناخوشگوار واقعو پيش نه آيو جنهن مان ظاهر آهي ته عدم تشدد جا صول تي هو پوري طرح پابند رهيا.

ستياگره جي سموري وقت اندر هندو اخبارن ۽ هندو ليڊرن واقعات کي مروڙي مروڙي خوف پيدا ڪندڙ ۽ شرارت آميز ڪوڙيون خبرون ڦهلائڻ جي ڪوشش ڪئي هن عرض سان ته ڪو ممڻ مچي پر آفرين آهي مجاهدن کي جن اسلامي شان جي عزت برقرار رکي ۽ سمورو وقت عدم تشدد تي ڪاربند رهي هندن جون آرزون خاڪ ۾ ملائي ڇڏيون.

جيتوڻيڪ وزارت بالڪل غير دانشمندانه نموني ۾ حالتن جو مقابلو ڪيو آهي. تاهم مسجد منزل گاهه جو رڳڙو اڃا چالو آهي مون کي ڪامل يقين آهي ته سيتاگره مجاهد جتي به موڪليا ويندا اتي اها ئي روش اختيار ڪندا جيڪا هنن سکر ۾ ورتي.

آخر ۾ آءُ هي ڳالهه ظاهر ڪرڻ کان رهي نٿو سگهان ته هن مسجد جي سوال ۾ وزارت مسلمانن جي جذبات جي اونهائي جو پورو پورو اندازو ڪري چڪي آهي ۽ اميد آهي ته هن کان پوءِ  هو پنهنجي ضد ۽ غير منصفانه پاليسي کي ڇڏي ڏيندي.

اسان سنڌ جي هندن سان هر ڪنهن عزت ڀري ٺاهه ڪرڻ لاءِ تيار آهيون

هندو خواه مسلمانن کي عارضي بندوبستن تي ڀاڙڻ نه گهرجي

سر حاجي عبدالله هارون جو بيان

ڪراچي 4

سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي پريذيڊنٽ سر حاجي عبدالله هارون هڪ پريس بيان ڪڍيو آهي جنهن ۾ هندن کي اپيل ڪئي اٿس ته هر هڪ ڪانفرنس ۾ شريڪ ٿين جتي سنڌ ۾ موجوده سياسي ڪشمڪش دور ڪرڻ جا اپاءَ سوچيا وڃن.

سر موصوف وڌيڪ چوي ٿو ته مان ڪانفرنس سڏائڻ لاءِ تيار آهيان جنهن ۾ هندو اڳواڻ پنهنجا شرائط پيش ڪن ۽ اسان کي هميشه لاءِ ڪي دائمي رٿون مقرر ڪرڻ ۾ مدد ڪن جي ڪا به وزارت توڙي نه سگهي. اسان کي خبر پوڻ گهرجي ته هندو مئنارٽي کي اسان وٽان ڇا گهرجي.

اهو افسوسناڪ ٿيندو جو اسان هندستان جي خيالي ۽ جذباتي اثرن هيٺ اچي پنهنجي صوبي کي فرقيوار باهه ۾ اڇليون.

منهنجي هندو دوستن کي تنگ نظر ٿيڻ نه گهرجي ڇا هو سمجهن ٿا ته خانبهادر الهه بخش موجوده وزيراعظم جو سنڌ ۾ هميشه لاءِ راڄ قائم هوندو؟ ڇا هو سمجهن ٿا ته سنڌ جا مسلمان ووٽر ايندڙ چونڊن ۾ به اڳين وانگر بي خبر رهي پنهنجن پيرن تي پاڻ ڪهاڙو هڻندا؟

مان وري به انهيءَ ڳالهه تي زور ٿو ڏيان ته مسلمانن کي خبر پوڻ گهرجي ته سنڌ جي هندن کي مسلمانن کان ڪهڙيون خاطريون ۽ بچاءَ گهرجن. مان اهڙي آڇ 1938ع ۾ ڪئي هئي ۽ هينئر وري به ڪريان ٿو، اميد ته منهنجا هندو دوست جو سڏ اونائيندو.

جيڪي منهنجا هندو دوست ڪن وهمن ۽ اثرن هيٺ رهڻ گهرن ٿا مان انهن جي خلاف به ڪو نه آهيان پر کين ايترو ٻڌائڻ گهران ٿو ته مان پنهنجي شخصي سياسي آزمودي مان هن نتيجي تي پهتو آهيان ته جيڪڏهن سنڌ جا مسلمان ۽ هندو امن امان ۾ رهڻ گهرن ٿا ته انهن کي هنن عارضي بندوبستن تي ڀاڙڻ نه گهرجي پر دائمي صلح لاءِ رستو ڳولڻ گهرجي. مان اهو به صاف ڪرڻ ٿو ته گهران ته اسان مسلم ليگ ۾ هونداسون يا کڻي ٻاهر هونداسين ته به سنڌ جي ٿورائي واري هندو قوم سان هر وقت عزت ڀرئي ٺاهه لاءِ تيار آهيون.

مسلمانن ۾ سياسي بيداري پيدا ڪرڻ ۽ منجهن يڪجهتي آڻي کين هڪ مرڪز تي جمع ڪرڻ لاءِ سنڌ ۾ مسلم ليگ جو بنياد وڌو ويو. بلاشبه گذريل ڏيڍ سال جي عرصي ۾ لڳاتار ڪوششنن هوندي به ڪو خاطر خواهه ڪم نه ٿي سگهيو، مگر ايترو ضرور ٿيو آهي ته مسلم ليگ جو پيغام سنڌ جي ڪنڊڪڙڇ تائين پهچي چڪو آهي، نتيز جيڪي مصيبتون سنڌ جي مسلمانن مٿان گذريل ٽن سالن م نازل پئي ٿينديو رهيون آهن تن جي دفع ڪرڻ ۽ عوام جي بهتري ۽ ڀلائي جي ڪمن نه ٿيڻ ڪري سڀ مسلمان مسلم ليگ جي ضرورت محسوس ڪري رهيا آهن.

مون کي خوشي آهي ته هن وقت سنڌ جي گهڻن شهرن ۽ ڳوٺن ۾ مسلم ليگ جون شاخون قائم ٿي چڪيون آهن. جن مان ڪيتريون برانچون ته باقاعده ڪم ڪري پنهنجن ڀائرن جي خدمت سرانجام ڏيئي رهيون آهن، ۽ ڪيتريون برانچون اتفاقي سبب ۽ خود سندن عهديدارن جي غفلت ۽ بي پرواهي ڪري سست پئجي ويون آهن جنهن جو نتيجو اهو نڪتو آهي ته ڪم جي رفتار خاطر خواهه نه رهي آهي، مگر نااميد ٿيڻ جو ڪو سبب ڪونهي. جيڪڏهن هر مسلمان جي طبعيت ۾ پنهنجي قوم جي خدمت گذاريءَ جو خيال پيدا ٿئي ۽ پنهنجي قيمتي وقت مان هفتي ۾ فقط ٻه ڪلاڪ مخصوص ڪري قومي خدمت ڪري ته جيڪر گهڻو ڪجهه ٿي سگهي. انهيءَ سان گڏ همدرد مسلمان پنهنجي روزانه زندگي ۾ پنهنجي مسلمان ڀاءُ سان ملاقات ڪرڻ وقت کيس مسلم ليگ جي اهميت ۽ ضرورت ڏيکاري تبليغ ڪندا رهن ته جيڪر عوام ۾ گهڻي قدر سجاڳي پيدا ٿئي ۽ مسلم قوم هن مصيبتن کان جلد آزاد ٿي پوي.

في الحال هيٺيون ڳالهيون اهن جن کي عمل ۾ آڻڻ جي سخت ضرورت آهي.

1. سڀيئي مسلم ليگ برانچون ڪوشش وٺي هر سال ميمبر ڀرتي ڪن ۽ رولن مطابق سال بسال عهديدار منتخب ڪن، ضلع مسلم ليگن تي نمائنده چونڊين ۽ باقاعده دفتر رکن، آمدني ۽ روانگي جو حساب ڪتاب رکن.

2. جن مسلم ليگ برانچن جو ڪم سندن نااتفاقي ڪري بيهي ويو آهي انهن يک پاڻ ۾ ملي نئين سر قوم جي خاطر پنهنجي نفس جي قرباني ڪري اتفاق ڪرڻ گهرجي ۽ جي سيڪريٽري ۽ پريذيڊنٽ سست ٿي پيا هجن تن کي الڳ ڪري ٻيهر پنهنجي برانچ کي ترتيب ڏيڻ گهرجي. ڇاڪاڻ ته جيستائين جماعت بندي ڪري. هر مسلمان قومي ڪم ۾ حصو نه وٺندو تيستائين  موجوده مشڪلاتون جن ۾ مسلمان گرفتار ٿي چڪا آهن تن کي دور ڪري ڪڏهن به پاڻ کي آزاد ڪرائي نه سگهندا.

3. هر برانچ پنهنجو فرض سمجهي ته بنا ڪنهن مذهبي تعصب خلق خدا جي خدمت ڪري جنهن ۾ هندو مسلمان ۽ عيسائي وغيره اچي وڃن ٿا، ڪم ڪرڻ جو طريقو هيٺ ڏجي ٿو:-

(الف) ٻوڏ، باهه يا عام مصيبت وقت بنا ڪنهن تفريق جي پهچ آهر مدد ڪرڻ.

(ب) عملدارن يا زميندارن پاران ڪو ستايل هجي ته چوچاءُ ڪري ان جو تدارڪ ڪرڻ، جي ضرورت سمجهي وڃي ته مظلومن جي حالت کان بالا عملدارن ۽ حڪومت کي زباني ۽ خط و ڪتابت جي ذريعي آگاهه ڪرڻ.

(ت) پنهنجي ڳوٺ جي بيمارين ۽ مصيبت زدن سان همدردي ڪرڻ پوءِ اهي مسلمان هجن توري هندو ۽ انهن جي علاج جي طاقت آهر ڪوشش ڪرڻ.

(ج) گهٽ ۾ گهٽ هر پندرنهين ڏينهن هڪ ميٽنگ گهرائي مقامي حالتن تي مٿي ڏيکاريل ڳالهين جي روشني ۾ ويچار ڪرڻ خاص ڪري سنڌ ۽ هندستان جي سياسي حالتن تي (جيڪي اخبارن ۾ پڙهيو هجي) بحث مباحثه ڪرڻ ۽ ان کي سمجهڻ جي ڪوشش ڪرڻ.

(د) ”پراونشل مسلم ليگ“ يا ضلعي ڪائونسل سان لکپڙهه جاري ڪرڻ، انهن جي خطن جو پوري طرح جواب ڏيڻ ۽ سندن حڪمن تي پوري طرح عمل ڪرڻ.

(ر) ”مسلم ليگ“ جي ميمبرن وڌائڻ جو هر ميمبر تي فرض رکڻ، جيئن ته هر ميمبر پنهنجي پاران گهٽ ۾ گهٽ پنج نوان ميمبر بڻائي.

(س) مسلمانن جي اخلاقي حالت درست ڪرڻ ۾ مدد ڪرڻ، جيئن ته چوريءَ کان پرهيز ڪرڻ، حق حلال جي ڪمائي کائڻ، سچ ڳالهڻ ۽ واعدا وفا ڪرڻ، ڪمزورن تي ظلم ٿيڻ کان ظالمن کي روڪڻ، هر شخص سان انصاف ڪرڻ جو مادو پيدا ڪرڻ، يتيمن ۽ بيواهن جي خدمت ڪرڻ ۽ ٻين اهڙن اسلامي ڪمن جهڙو ته نماز، روزي زڪوات جي پابندي ڪرڻ.

4. مسلم ليگ ورڪنگ ڪاميٽيءَ وقت بوقت جيڪي ٺهراءَ ۽ ريزوليشن پاس ڪيا آهن تن پٽاندڙ لوڪل باڊيز ۽ اسيمبليءَ جي چونڊن ۾ سڀني مسلم ليگ برانچن کي حصو وٺڻو آهي. ڇاڪاڻ ته موجوده ملڪ جي قانون موجب حڪومت جو چرخو اڪثريت تي هلي ٿو. جنهن پارٽيءَ يا جماعت ۾ گهٽا ميمبر هوندا اها ئي پارٽي برسر اقتدار رهندي ۽ حڪومت  جون واڳون به انهيءَ جي هٿن ۾ رهنديون. نتيجو اهو نڪرندو ته اها پارٽي پنهنجي مرضيءَ مطابق پنهنجي ميمبرن جي صلاح و مشورن سان پبلڪ جي مفاد خاطر اسيمبلي ۾ ڪم ڪري سگهندي مثلن وياج خورن جي ظلم کي ٻنجو ڏيڻ، لئنڊ ايلينيشن ائڪٽ، (يعني جيئن زميندارن کان سندن زمينون کسي سندن زمينون سکجي وياج خورن ۽ غير زميندارن ڏانهن منتقل ٿي نه سگهن) هارين جا فائدا مدنظر رکڻ، پيدائش جي وڪري تي نظر رکڻ جيئن زميندارن ۽ هارين کي شاهوڪار ۽ واپاري اگهن ۾ ڦري نه سگهن، عملدارن جي رشوت خوري ۽ ظلمن جو ادارڪ ڪرڻ وغيره. انهن مقصدن کي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ اسان کي اهي ميمبر چونڊڻ کپن جن ۾ ڪم ڪرڻ جي صلاحيت ۽ خدمت خلق جو جذبو هجي ۽ جن پنهنجي اڳين زندگيءَ ۾ ڪا مذهبي يا سياسي خدمت ڪئي هجي ۽ انهيءَ سان گڏ مقامي ليگ ميمبرن جو انهن ۾ ويساهه به هجي. اهڙن اميدوارن کي چونڊرائڻ جي ڪوشش ڪجي پر هن وقت اهو طريقو آهي ته هڪ طرف ڪنهن بزرگ پير سيد يا ڪنهن وڏي زميندار يا عملدار جي اثر و رسوخ هيٺ اچي چونڊ ٿيندي آهي، ته ٽئي طرف اميدوار جي موٽرن ۽ مانين جي لالچ هيٺ اچي ان کي مدد ڪبي آهي. اهو چونڊ جو طريقو بلڪل غلط ۽ ناپسنديده آهي ۽ انهيءَ ڪري ئي اڄ اسان جي قوم برباديءَ جي حالت تي پهچي چڪي آهي. تنهنڪري ذاتي مفادن کان بي پرواهه ٿي پنهنجي ضمير کان پڇجي ته ڪهڙو اميدوار ايماندار آهي ۽ اڳ هن ڪهڙيون مذهبي يا سياسي خدمتون بجا آنديون آهن؟ سندس اخلاق بهتر آهن يا نه؟ غريبن تي ظلم تن نٿو ڪري ۽ محض ميمبر ئي رڳو پنهنجو فادئو حاصل ته نه ڪندو وغيره. اهڙن اميدوارن کي چونڊائڻ ۾ بهرو وٺي ڪامياب ڪرڻ گهرجي.

مٿين حالت ان ڪري به ٿئي ٿي جو عام ماڻهن جي دلين ۾ هي خيال گهر ڪري ويو آهي ته وزيرن اسيمبلي ميمبرن ۽ سرڪاري عملدارن کانسواءِ ٻيو ڪو به امڻهو سندن ڪم پورو ڪري نه سگهندو. انهي ڪري هو الله جلشانه کي وساري انهن جي خوشامد پٺيان رات ڏينهن سرگردان رهندا آهن. درحقيقت هر مسلمان جو انهيءَ ۾ ايمان ۽ ويساهه هجڻ گهرجي ته جيڪڏهن هو پنهنجا اخلاق سڌاريندا ۽ ايمانداري ۽ نيڪ نيتيءَ جو رستو اختيار ڪندا ته الله پاڪ هنن جي پاڻهيئي مدد ڪندو. خاص ڪري هن زماني ۾ جماعت بنديءَ جي ذريعي احسن طريقي سان قومي خدمت ڪري سگهجي ٿي. تنهنڪري پنهنجي جماعت کي مضبوط ڪري تعمير ڪم شروع ڪندا ۽ مسلم ليگ جي ڪم کي زور وٺائيندا.

اهو پڻ ياد رکڻ گهرجي ته اميدوارن جي چونڊجڻ جي ذميواري گهڻو ڪري مسلم ليگ برانچن تي عائد ٿئي ٿي، ڇاڪاڻ ته اليڪشن ۾ ڪم ڪرڻ نمائندن کي ڪامياب ڪرڻ ۾ انهن کي وڏو داخل آهي.

اها ڳالهه اخبار ٻين حضرات ۽ ٻين کان مخفي نه آهي ته موجوده سنڌ اسيمبلي ۾ هن وقت مسلمان ميمبرن جي ڪهڙي حالت آهي؟ ڪهڙا ميمبر آهن جي قومي احساس رکن ٿا ۽ ڪهڙا ميمبر آهن جي عام نمود خاطر ۽ ذاتي مقصدن حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ ڪرسي نشين ٿيا آهن. هن مختصر مضمون ۾ انهيءَ ڳالهه جي بحث ۾ نٿو وڃڻ گهران، مگر ايترو ضرور ذهن نشين ڪندس ته هاڻي اسيمبلي جون چونڊون نزديڪ اچي رهيون آهن جيڪڏهن اسان غفلت کان ڪم وٺي اڳ وانگر وري به ساڳئي غلطي ڪئي سين ۽ قوم کي وساري اميدوارن جي وقتي خوشامد کي ڏٺوسين ته آئينده هلي اسان جي حاسلت هن کان به وڌيڪ ابتر ٿيندي، تنهنڪري خدارا سجاڳ ٿيو۽ خراب غفلت ڇڏي مسلمانن ۾ بيداري پيدا ڪيو، ۽ هاڻي کان ئي پروپيگنڊا شروع ڪري ڏيو يعني جن تڪن مان اميدوار بيهڻا آهن تن تڪن جو جائزو وٺو ۽ پنهنجا رايا بنا ڪنهن دير جي صدر دفتر مسلم ليگ نيپيئر روڊ ڪراچي کي موڪلي ڏيو. بهتر ٿيندو ته ليگ برانچون اڳواٽ خانگي طور اسان کي اطلاع ڏين ته سندن تڪ مان ڪهڙا ڪهڙا نمائندا ايندڙ اسيمبلي ۽ لوڪل باڊيز ۾ مسلم قوم لاءِ مفيد ۽ ڪارآمد ٿي سگهن ٿا. انهيءَ سان گڏ في الحال جيڪي هن وقت اسيمبلي جا ميمبر آهن تن بابت به پنهنجا رايا اسان کي موڪليندا.

اوهان جي اطلاع لاءِ پڻ لکجي ٿو ته سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ هڪ موٽر لاري خريد ڪئي آهي جنهن ۾ ڏهن ماڻهن جي ويهڻ جي جاءِ آهي ۽ لائوڊ اسپيڪر لڳائڻ جي تجويز ٿي رهي آهي، مسافرن ۽ ورڪرن جي بسترن ۽ سامان رکڻ جو به منجهس بندوبست ڪيل آهي، جيڪا ڳوٺن ۾ گشت تي موڪلي پروپيگنڊا لاءِ ڪتب آڻي سگهجي ٿي. ڪا به ليگ برانچ پنهنجي تعلقي يا ضلعي ۾ ڪم ڪرڻ يا ڪانفرنس ڪرڻ گهري يا پرچار ڪرڻ لاءِ تنهن جا ورڪر موڪلي ته هن لاريءَ جي وسيلي آساني سان ڪري سگهجي ٿو. تنهنڪري جيڪي به ليگ برانچون پيٽرول ۽ ٻيو لاريءَ جو رواجي خرچ ڏهه رپيا روز ڀاڙو پاڻ تي هموار ڪنديون ۽ گشت جو پروگرام ٺاهي اڳواٽ اسان کي موڪلينديون ته انهيءَ برانچ ليگ کي ضرورت آهر گهربل ڏينهن لاءِ لاري موڪلي ڏينداسون.

پڇاڙي ۾ ايتري لکڻ کانسواءِ نٿو رهي سگهان ته معزز شهري بڻجڻ لاءِ اوهان کي پنهنجي عزت ۽ حرمت جو احساس هجڻ ضروري آهي. پڻ جيترو ٿي سگهي پنهنجن ڀائرن جي خدمت ڪريو ۽ انهن ۾ خودداري، خود شناسيءَ خود اعتمادي جو احساس پيدا ڪريو. بدقسمتي سان اسان جي صوبي ۾ اڃا تائين اهڙن ماڻهن جو اثر رسوخ آهي جن اسان جي ترقيءَ آڏوهميشه پئي رڪاوٽون وڌيون آهن.

اسلام هر مسلمان کي ادائيگي فرض جي تعليم ڏئي ٿو. اوهان کي گهرجي ته ٻين صوبن لاءِ اوهان پاڻ مثال ثابت ٿيو ۽ متفق ۽ متحد ٿي هڪ ئي جهنڊي هيٺ جمع ٿيو.

سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي ڪائونسل جا ٺهراءُ

سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ ڪائونسل جي ميٽنگ تاريخ 22 ڊسمبر 1940ع تي زير صدارت سر حاجي عبدالله هارون جي واقع سيفيلڊ هائوس ڪراچي ۾ منعقد ٿي، هيٺيان ريزوليشن پاس ٿيا:-

1. جنهن صورت ۾ سنڌ اسيمبلي اندر ڪن گروپن جي وچ ۾ جيڪو سمجهوتو ڪيو ويو هو سو هينئر هن ڪائونسل جي بچڻ کانسواءِ ڦيريو گهيريو ويو آهي تنهن صورت ۾ هن ڪائونسل سمجهوته جي باقي بچيل حصن تي پڻ گڏيل چونڊن وارن ٻنهي بلن تي ويچار ڪيو آهي ان کانسواءِ ڪائونسل جي اڳيان آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جي لکهنو واري سيشن ۾ پاس ڪيل ٺهراءُ به اچي چڪو آهي سنڌ سرڪار جي پڌري ڪيل گڏيل چونڊن وارن بلن جي اشاعت کانپوءِ هن ڪائونسل کي مسلمان جماعتن طرفان درخواستون پهتيون آهن جن مان صاف ظاهر آهي ته مسلم عوام گڏيل چونڊن جي برخلاف آهي. ان کانسواءِ ڪائونسل محسوس ڪري ٿي ته گڏيل چونڊن جو سوال آل انڊيا اهميت رکي ٿو. ۽ آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جن بنيادي اصولن جي برخلاف آهي.

انهن حالتن هيٺ ڪائونسل مسلم ليگ وزيرن ۽ اسيمبلي جي مسلمان ميمبرن کي استدعا ڪري ٿي ته هو گورنمينٽ کي آماده ڪن ته هو اهي بل پاس نه ڪرائي ۽ جيڪڏهن هروڀرو پاس ڪرائي ته ان جي مخالفت ڪن.

2. سنڌ مسلم ليگ جي ڪائونسل سنڌ جي موجوده سياسي حالت ۽ ليگ جي تنظيمي ڳالهين تي ويچار ڪرڻ بعد هيٺيون فيصلو ڪيو آهي.

1. مسلم ليگ وزيرن مير بنده علي، خانبهادر کهڙو ۽ شيخ عبدالمجيد کي گهرجي ته هو 41ع جي خاتمي کان پهريان سنڌ اسيمبلي اندر مسلم ليگ پارٽي ڪن اهڙي پارٽي جي قائم ٿيڻ بعد حالتن تي نئين سر ويچار ڪيو ويندو.

ان وچ ڪائونسل سنڌ اسيمبلي جي هر هڪ مسلمانن ميمبر کي ڪري ٿي ته هو مسلم ليگ پارٽي ۾ شريڪ نٿي ۽ مسلمانن اندر اتحاد ڪري.

2. مسلم ليگ کي پخته پايه تي بيهارڻ لاءِ ضروري آهي ته ساري تحريڪ تي مڪمل ڪنٽرول رهي پريس ۽ پروپيگنڊا جي ڪم کي وڌائجي ۽ مسلم ليگ ورڪرن جا جٿا پيدا ڪجن.

3. مٿين مقصد جي حصول لاءِ هيٺين ڪاميٽي ٺاهي وڃي ٿي جنهن جو چيئرمين مسٽر جي ايم سيد ۽ سيڪريٽري مسٽر محمد هاشم گذدر ٿيندا. ان ڪاميٽي کي وڌيڪ عهديدار ۽ ٻن وڌيڪ ميمبرن جي مقرر ڪرڻ جو اختيار هوندو ڪميٽي جا ميمبر هي صاحب ٿيندا.

مسٽر جي ايم سيد، مسٽر يوسف هارون، مسٽر قاضي فضل الله، مسٽر غلام النبي پٺاڻ، سيد حسن بخش شاهه، پير عبدالستار جان ۽ مسٽر محمد هاشم گذدر ڪميٽي يڪدم هيٺان قدم کڻندي:

(الف) هر هڪ شهر يا ڳوٺ اندر پرائمري ليگون قائم ڪرائيندي.

(ب) پريس، پليٽ فارم ۽ پروپيگنڊا وسيلي مسلم ليگ جا اصول عوام تائين پهچائيندي.

(ج) عوام جي ڀلي جا ڪم ڪندي مثلن مسلمانن جي معاشرتي اقتصادي، تعليمي، سياسي بهبودي لاءِ ڪوشش جاري ڪندي.

ڪميٽي پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي ڪائونسل ۽ ورڪنگ ڪميٽيءَ جي ضابطي هيٺ رهندي ۽ مٿين مقصدن جي اصول لاء جلد هڪ اسڪيم تيار ڪندي.

ڪميٽي ڪم از ڪم هر ٽئي مهيني پنهنجي ڪم بابت پراونشل ورڪنگ ڪميٽي ڏانهن پنهنجي رپورٽ موڪليندي.

(4) سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي ميٽنگ ڊسٽرڪٽ مئجسٽريٽ حيدرآباد ۽ سنڌ گورنمينٽ جيڪا ساڻس شامل ٿي، تي ملازمت جو اظهار ڪري ٿي جو هن سنکر فساد جي ٽن قيدين کي حيدرآباد سينٽرل جيل ۾ 11 ڊسمبر جو ڦاسين ڏيارڻ بعد سندن لاشا سندن عزيزن جي حوالي نه ڪيا جيئن هو جنازه نماز پڙهي سگهن ۽ پاڻ اهي لاشا جيل اندر مخفي طرح دفن ڪيا ويا.

نوٽ:- هر پرائمري مسلم ليگ شاخ هر مهيني ۾ گهٽ ۾ گهٽ هڪ ميٽنگ سڏائي ۽ ان جي ڪارروائي نه موڪليندي ۽ ٻئي قسم جي لکپڙهه به هر مهيني ۾ هڪ دفعو نه ڪندي ته اهڙي شاخ کي صدر دفتر مان خارج ڪيو ويندو.

ڏوڪري مسلم ليگ جي جنرل ميٽنگ جا ٺهراءُ

1. ڏوڪري مسلم ليگ جي هيءَ ميٽنگ سنڌ سرڪار کي زوردار اپيل ٿي ڪري ته لوڪلبورڊن ۾ گڏيل چونڊن جي بل کي اسيمبلي ۾ پاس نه ڪيو وڃي جو اهو سوال مسلمانن لاءِ نقصانڪار ثابت ٿيندو.

2. هي ميٽنگ سنڌ سرڪار کي زوردار اپيل ٿي ڪري ته شمس العلماءَ ڊاڪٽر دائود پوٽه ڊي بي آءِ کي يڪدم پڪو ڪيو وڃي.

3. هيءَ ميٽنگ جناب آنربل مير بنده علي خان کي مبارڪ پيش ٿي ڪري جو اهو صاحب مسلم ليگ ۾ شريڪ ٿيو آهي ۽ کيس عرض ٿي ڪري ته مسلم ليگ جي پروگرام کي عملي جامو پهرائي.

سنڌ پراونشل مسل ليگ جو سرڪيولر

سڀني مسلمان ميمبرن ۽ ٻين همدردن ڏانهن

سنڌ پراونشل مسلم ليگ جي ڪائونسل جي ميٽنگ ۾ برو ميونسپالٽين بابت گڏيل چونڊن جي لنج ٿيڻ جو سوال سکر، شڪارپور، ميرپروخاص، جيڪب آباد، لاڙڪاڻو ۽ حيڊرآباد به نسبت آيل آهي جا ڪائونسل جي ميٽنگ تاريخ 26 جنوري 1941ع شڪارپور ۾ رکي وئي آهي.

واضح هجي ته گڏيل چونڊن جي باري ۾ سڀئي ميونسپالٽين جي مسلمان ميمبرن کي خط لکيا ويا هئا. جن مان گهڻن جا جواب ۽ سکر شڪارپور ۽ حيدرآباد مان ريزوليشن پاس ٿي اسان جي دفتر ۾ هن وقت تائين پهچي چڪا آهن. ان کانسواءِ مسلمان اخبارون به چونڊن جي برخلاف لکي رهيون آهن.

جنهن مان معلوم ٿئي ٿو ته مسلمانن کي گڏيل چونڊون ڪنهن به صورت ۾ قبول نه آهن. انهي ڪري ميونسپل جي مسلمان ميمبرن ۽ ٻين همدردن کي پرزور گذارش ڪجي ٿي ته مقصد جي اهميت کي مدنظر رکي قوم جي خاطر تڪليف وٺي ضرور مٿين ميٽنگ ۾ حاضر ٿيندا ۽ پنهنجي شهر جي حالات ۽ پنهنجي قيمتي خيالات کان ليگ ڪائونسل کي روبرو واقف ڪري رهنمائي ڪندا انهي جي روشنائي ۽ ليگ ڪائونسل متعلق فيصلي تي اچي.

شڪارپور ۾ جيڪا ڪائونسل ميٽنگ رکي وئي آهي انهي جو ايجنڊا پڻ اوهان جي ملائحظه لاءِ هن اخبار ۾ ڪنهن ٻئي سڏ ڏجي ٿو، جنهن مان اوهان کي معلوم ٿيندو ته هي ميٽنگ نهايت اهم آهي جنهن مان اوهان جي شموليت ازحد ضروري آهي.

ليگ وزارت پنهنجي دور حڪومت اندر اهڙو شاندار ڪم ڪري ڏيکاريو جنهن لاءِ مسلم قوم جو آئينده نسل بجا طور فخر ڪري سگهندو. يارنهن مهينن جي مختصر عرصي اندر انهيءَ وزارت صوبه کي بد کان آزاد ڪيو. هندو اقليت سلامتي مهيا ڪري ڏني ۽ مسلم کي انصاف پلئه وڌو. اهڙي ٿوري عرصي اندر جن حالتن ۽ مشڪلاتن وچ ۾ رهي هن وزارت اهو ڪم ڪيو آهي سو ڏيکاري ٿو ته ليگ جي ور ۾ ملسمانن جي ڀلي ڪرڻ لاءِ جوش مڪمل موجود هو.

جن مقصدن ۽ مسلمانن ۽ ملڪ جي جن ڪمن لاءِ هو وزارت ۾ آيا سي ڪم هنن پورا ڪري ڇڏيا. منزل گاهه مسجدن هنن موٽائي ڏني. سکر جي گرفتار ٿيل مظلومن کي انصاف وٺي ڏنو. پپير صاحب ڀرچونڊي جي آزادي لاءِ  حڪم ڪري پاڻ تان جوابداري ڦٽي ڇڏي.

ليگ وزارت صاف دل سان عهدا ڇڏيا آهن. ليگ نئين وزارت ٺاهڻ ۾ هڪ اهڙي پارٽي سان شريڪ ٿيڻ لاءِ تيار نه هئي. جنهن پارٽي جو نه ڪو نالو هو نه ڪو اصول ۽ نه ڪو پروگرام.

هاڻي صوبي جي حڪومت هلائڻ جي ذميواري انهن تي عائد ٿئي ٿي جن پاڻ تي اها جوابداري کنئي آهي، اسان جو آئينده قدم نئين وزارت جي کنيل حالتن تي منحصر ٿيندو جيڪڏهن اها چڱو ڪم ڪندي ته ليگ ان جي پٺڀرائي ڪندي.

ڪراچي ۾ سڀاڻي مسلمان هڙتال ڪندا. ڏسڻ ۾ اچي ٿو ته اهو مظاهرو تازي ڦير گهيري جي خلاف ناراضپي جو اظهار آهي. شايد ليگ وزيرن جي خدمت ۾ هڪ قسم جو اظهار عقيدت ڪرڻ مقصود آهي. اهو نمونو پاڻ ثابت ٿو ڪري ته عام ماڻهن جي نظر ۾ ليگ لاءِ ڪيتري قدر محبت ۽ پيار آهي. عام مسلمانن کي انهيءَ موقعي تي مان پٽي اکر چوڻ ٿو گهران ته اوهان جي نمائندن ثابت ڪري ڏيکاريو آهي ته ڪيئن ايمانداري ۽ سچائي سان ملڪ جو ڪاروبار هلائي سگهجي ٿو. اوهان هڻ ماٺ ۾ امن امان ۾ رهو. مان يقين ٿو ڏياريان ته جنهن ڏينهن اسان ڏٺو ته اسان جا نمائندا اسيمبلي ۾ رهي ڪو به مفيد ڪم نٿا ڪري سگهن تنهن ڏينهن  اسان کين اسيمبلي مان استعيفائون ڏياري ٻاهر ڪڍنداسون جيئن هو عام ماڻهن سان گڏ ويهي مسلم قوم جي مستقبل لاءِ  ڪو تعمير ڪم ڪري سگهن ۽ مسلمان قوم ايتري قدر مضبوط نٿي جو ڪو به دشمن سندس معاملن سان هٿ چراند نه ڪري سگهي.

سنڌ اسيمبلي صلاحڪار ڪميٽي جو ڊڪٽيٽري ٺهراءُ

سر عبدالله هارون جي خط جو عجيب جواب

تازو سنڌ پراونشل ملسم ليگ جي پريزيڊنٽ سر حاجي عبدالله هارون ”سنڌ اسيمبلي صلاحڪاسر ڪميٽي“ جي چيئرمين کي خط لکيو هو ته سنڌ جا مسلمان عام طرح گڏيل چونڊن جي برخلاف آهن، تنهنڪري سنڌ جي لوڪلبورڊن ۾ گڏيل حڪم ملي تيستائين بل پاس ڪيو نه وڃي. بلڪ برو ميونسپالٽين ۾ جو گڏيل چونڊن رائج ڪرڻ لاءِ بل پاس ڪيو ويو آهي، سو به رد ڪيو وڃي، ڇاڪاڻ ته جنهن مقصد جي پيش نظر هي سرشتو سنڌ ۾ جاري ڪيو وڃي ٿو، سو مقصد مسلمانن جي ناراضپي سبب حاصل ٿي ڪين سگهندو وغيره.

سنڌ اسيمبلي صلاحڪار ڪميٽي جي ميٽنگ تازو ٿي گذري، جنهن ۾ 16 ميمبرن مان فقط 8 ميمبر حاضر هئا، جن ۾ به گهڻائي هندو ۽ ڪانگريسي ميمبرن جي هئي. ڪميٽي سيٺ سر حاجي عبدالله هارون جي خط تي ڊڪٽيٽر نمونه ۾ هڪ عجيب و غريب ٺهراءُ پاس ڪيو آهي، جو هيٺين طرح آهي:

”برو ميونسپالٽين ۾ گڏيل چونڊن رائج ڪرڻ لاءِ سنڌ اسيمبلي ۾ بل پاس ڪيو ويو آهي، تنهنڪري ملڪ جي قاعده جي پيروي ۽ پٺڀرائي ٿيڻ گهرجي ۽ هن باري ۾ سر حاجي عدالله هارون کي سرڪار جو ساٿ ڏيڻ کپي ته جيئن پاس ٿيل ميونسپالٽين ۾ گڏيل چونڊن خلاف متان ڪا پروپيگنڊا ٿئي.“ هن ٺهراءَ جي ڪاپي سر عبدالله هارون ڏانهن موڪلي وئي آهي.

سر عبدالله هارون جي خط جو مطلب بلڪل واضح آهي، جنهن مطلب سان ڪنهن به انصاف پسند ۽ عقلمند ماڻهو کي اختلاف ٿي نٿو سگهي، پر افسوس جو صلاحڪار ڪميٽي گڏيل چونڊن جي عشق ۾ اکيون پوري سر صاحب جي ليٽر تي شايد پوري طرح ويچار ڪين ڪيو آهي. مسلم ليگ پريزيڊنٽ جو خط جو مطلب آهي ته سنڌ ۾ گڏيل چونڊن هن ارادي ۽ مقصد جي ماتحت رواج ۾ آنديون وڃن ٿيون ته انهن جي ذريعي هندو مسلم تعلقات سڌري خوشگوار ٿين ۽ پنهنجي قومن مان ڪلفت ۽ خصومت جا جذبات نڪري وڃن ۽ ان جي جاءِ تي الفت ۽ محبت پيدا ٿئي. پر جڏهن ته سنڌ جا عام مسلمان گڏيل چونڊن جي سخت برخلاف آهن ۽ گڏيل چونڊن ۾ نه نفقط پنهنجي حقن جي هاڃي سمجهن ٿا پر ان سبب پنهنجي سياسي زندگي به خطره ۾ خيال ڪن ٿا، ته اهڙي حالت ۾ گڏيل چونڊون جنهن مقصد ۽ مراد سان رائج ڪيون وڃن ٿيون، سو مقصد هرگز تري ڪين سگهندو. ڇاڪاڻ ته مٿيون مقصد تڏهن حاصل ٿي سگهي ٿو جڏهن سنڌ جا مسلمان به گڏيل چونڊن واري سرشتي ۾ واضح هجن مگر موجوده حالت ۾ گڏيل چونڊن مان هندو مسلم تعلقات ٿي.

صلاحڪار ڪميٽي جو چوڻ آهي ته برو ميونسپالٽين ۾ گڏيل چونڊون رائج ڪرڻ وارو بل سنڌ اسيمبلي ۾ پاس ٿيو آهي،تنهنڪري هن ملڪي قاعده جي پٺڀرائي ۽ عزت ڪرڻ گهرجي. اسان کي پنهنجي ڪانگريسي دوستن جي هن ٻه رخي پاليسي ۽ عجيب و غريب منطق تي عجب ٿو لڳي. اسين ڏسي رهيا آهيون ته آل انڊيا ڪانگريس ڪميٽيءَ سان هندستان ۾ ستياگره جو هنگامو برپا ڪري ملڪي قاعده ۽ قانون کي ٺوڪر هڻي رهي آهي. اتي هنن کي ملڪي قانون جي عزت رکڻ جو ڪو خيال ئي نٿو اچي، پر اڳيا ڪانگريسي سنڌ ۾ وري فقط مسلمانن کي ملڪي قانون جي عزت رکڻ ۽ پٺڀرائي ڪرڻ جا وعظ ڪري ۽ اپديش ڏئي رهيا آهن.

”سنڌ اسيمبلي صلاحڪار ڪميٽي“ ايتريقدر ته نازڪ مزاج ۽ نازڪ حسن ثابت ٿي آهي، جو هو گڏيل چونڊن جي خلاف ڪنهن به قسم جو پرامن تحريڪ اکين سان سگهي تنهنڪري هن پنهنجي ٺهراءُ ۾ سر هاجي عبدالله هارون کي مجبور ڪيو آهي ته گڏيل چونڊن جي خلاف ڪنهن به قسم جي پروپيگنڊا نه ڪري، جي خلاف ڪنهن به قسم جي پروپيگنڊا نه ڪري.

اسان جي خيلا ۾ جيڪڏهن ڪا به قوم ڪنهن ڳالهه کي پنهنجي واسطي نقصانڪار خيال ڪري ٿي ته ان کي پنهنجي اهنجن ۽ تڪليفن بيانن ڪرڻ جو پرامن نمونا ۾ پورو پورو حق هئڻ گهرجي. پر هي ڪهڙي قسم جي عقلمندي ۽ انصاف پسندي آهي، جو مسلم ليگ وارن کي گڏيل چونڊن بابت پنهنجي تڪليفن بيان ڪرڻ جي حق کان به محروم ڪيو ٿو وڃي ۽ ڊڪٽيٽري حڪم ڪڍيو ويو آهي، ته برو ميونسپالٽين ۾ گڏيل چونڊن جي خلاف ڪا به پروپيگنڊا ٿيڻ نه کپي. اسان جي خيال ۾ ته مٿئين ناهري ۽ ڊڪٽيٽري ٺهراءُ يا حڪم کي ڪو به ماڻهو پسند ڪري نٿو سگهي.

اسين وري به سڀني ڳالهين کي نظرانداز ڪري سنڌ اسيمبلي صلاحڪار ڪميٽي کي صلاح ڏينداسين ته هو پنهنجي ٺهراءُ ٻيهر ويچار ڪري ۽ ان سان گڏ سنڌ سرڪار کي به هندو مسلم اتحاد جو واسطو ڏئي استدعا ڪريون ٿا ته پرڳڻي جي حالت جو انداز لڳائي في الحال لوڪل باڊيز ۾ گڏيل چونڊن رائج ڪرڻ وارو خيال ترڪ ڪرڻ گهرجي. ۽ اهڙو قانون پبلڪ جي مٿان زوريءَ مڙهيو نه وڃي جنهن جي سنڌ جا 30 لک مسلمان برخلاف آهن.

اسين پنهنجي هندو توڙي ڪانگريسي دوستن کي گذارش ٿا ڪريون ته هو مسلم جذبات جي عزت ڪندي سنڌ ۾ گڏيل چونڊون رائج ڪرڻ واري ضد کان باز اچن ۽ هڪٻئي جي جذبات جي عزت ڪرڻ سان ئي هندو مسلم تعلقات سڌرندا ۽ نااتفاقي ۽ ناسازي جو خاتمو ٿيندو. اميد ته اسان جي هن نهايت خير خواهه نه مشوره جي عزت ڪئي ويندي.

سنڌ مسلم ليگ کي هڪ خط

سنڌ مسلم ليگ جي عرض

بخدمت والا شاهه حضور سيٺ حاجي عبدالله هارون

رستم: 1941-05-26

جناب عالي: اسين هيٺ صحيح ڪندڙ سڀ مسلمان ويٺل ڳوٺ رستم تعلقي سکر جا حضور جن جي خدمت ۾ عرض ٿا ڪريون ته اسان مسلمانن کي جيڪي اهنج ايذاءُ، درد ڏک آخرتن لاءِ اسين سلطان ڪوٽ تعلقي شڪارپور سنڌ ۾ آيا هو اصول ليڪن حضور جن فرمايو ته سموري حقيقت اسان کي لکي موڪليو.

حضور جن جي حڪم موجب هن هن سيٺ دک درد بيان عرض ڪريون ٿا ته جن لاءِ عنايت فرمائي جوڳو بندوبست ڪرڻ فرمائيندا ته دعاگو اقبال جا رهنداسون.

4.هن شهر جا مسلمان ماڻهو اڪثر ڪري هاري ناري، ڪاسبي ۽ غريب مزدور ماڻهو آهن جي هڏن جو رت ڏيو رات پرڀات ۾ ڏک ڏولالا سهي پوکون پچائين جڏهن تيار ٿين تڏهن زميندار ٻچن، خرچن، وياجن وڏن قرضن ۽ رساپن ۾ سمورو ئي ان کنيو وڃن اسين غريب اچيو سک ۽ ڏک ڏوجهڙا سهون.

انهن آزارن کانسواءِ اسان کي هن شهر جي هندن جيڪي درد ڏنا آهن سي بلڪل عاجز ڪندڙ آهن.

2.هن شهر ۾ سينيٽري بورڊ آهي جنهن جو نه ڏئي نه ڌوڻي رڳو بيدار، صفائي، روشن ئي جو بندوبست هندن لاءِ فائدو وٽن هندو، مسلمان رڳو ڪني پاڻيءَ جو واس وڻن ۽ گذر جو هندن جي محلن ۽ گهٽين مان ميڙي مسلمانن جي پاڙن جي ڀرسان ڦٽوڪن ۽ انهيءَ ڪني پاڻيءَ جي گند جو واس مسلمان وٽن ۽ بيمارين ۾ مبتلا به مسلمان ٿين پر چندو به مسلمان ڀرين. اڳ ۾ اصل مسلمان چندو ڏيندا ئي ڪو نه هئا هاڻي هو ونيون وڌيڪ ٻيا ڏني ۽ ڪنهن ۾ حڪم کانسواءِ زوريءَ وصول ڪيو پيو وڃي جي غريب وٽ پئسو نه هوندو ته پوءِ هنڌ ٽپڙ ۽ ٿانوءَ ٿپا زوريءَ کڻي نيلام ڪري وٺي پيا ڪن انهيءَ آزار جو بندوبست فرمائيندا.

3.هن شهر ۾ هندو قوم زبردست آهي جن مان 80 سيڪڙو زميندار باقي واپار جي لائين جا ماڻهو آهن جن وٽ 135 ليسن بندوقن ۽ 30 ليسن روالور آهن انهيءَ هوندي به توڻيڪ پوليس جو ۽ خانگي ماڻهن جو زبردست ڪيو آهي تڏهن به اسان مسلمانن کي خاص طرح ايذائڻ جي ارادي سان ڳوٺ ۾ دروازن وجهڻ جو آزار کڙو ڪيو ويو آهي جو زوريءَ سرڪار کان منظوري وٺي سرڪاري رستن ۾ دخل ڪري پاوا ڪڍي دردار بيهاريا ويا آهن جن مان اسان جو ڪڙٻ، پلال ۽ ڪاٺين جون گاڏيون نٿيون لنگهي سگهن جن کان سخت آزار ۾ مبتلا آهيون.

4. هندن جو ايترو آزار آهي جو اسين جيئرا ته انهي جي آزار کان آزاد نه آهيون ليڪن فوت ٿيل مقامن وارا به آزاريل آهن يعني مقام ڏي وڃڻ جو رستو هندن جي زمين مان نڪتل آهي سو بند ڪري ڇڏيو ويو آهي، ڪٿان به وڃڻ جو رستو ڪونهي لاچار ٻنين مان ڌڪا ڌوڻا کائي لاش روليندا مقام پهچون ٿا، ڪو به ڪامورو يا زميندار ڪا به فرياد نٿو ٻڌي. سائين جن عنايت فرمائي ڪو بندوبست ڪرڻ فرمائيندا.

5. هن شهر ۾ هندن جو ايترو زور آهي جو ڪنهن به مسلمان ڳوٺ جي بلڪ ڪلهي ڪلهي پندرجي مسلمانن کي ايتري جرئت نه آهي جو ڪو شهري اندر رهندو ماڻهن سان سوال جواب ڪري سگهي. جي نماز نوڙت ڪري ڪم ڪڍندو ته واهه نه ته عزت ٿيو خير.

ڪيئي مسلمان ڏينهن ڏٺي جو وچ بازارن ۾ موچڙا کائي ويا نڪو انهن جو دادو نڪو فرياد هندو ڪو به مسلمانن سان ايذاءُ ڪري ته ان جو فيصلو هندوڪن ڏنڊو وغيره ورتو وڃي جو پوءِ به کائين فقط هندو ڀائر مسلمانن جو جيڏانهن تيڏانهن ٿيو ڀلو. انهيءَ آزار لاءِ ڪو خلاصو بندوبست فرمائيندا.

6.هندن جو ايترو زور آهي جو ساري شهر ۾ ڪنهن مسلماني گهٽي گهر يا محلي ۾ اچي سگهي ٿو ليڪن مسلمانن کي ڪن خاص گهٽين کانسواءِ ٻين ۾ اچڻ جي اجازت ئي ڪانهي، جي اتفاق ڪو مسلمان پرديسي اوچتو انهن بندشن واري گهٽين مان لنگهيو ته هڪدم موچڙن جي ڌوم اچي ويندس ڀل ڪو به واهرو سندس ٿئي ته ان کي به به موچڙن تکو ڪري ڇڏين.

7. هندن جي گهرن ۾ کهيون ۽ نل لڳل آهن جن مان جيڪو پاڻي وافر ٿو ٿئي سو سڀ مسلمان پڙوسين جي جاين جي پاڙن ۾ ڇڏي مسلمانن جا گهر ڪيرائي مسلمانن جون پاڙون سايون ڪيون وڃن يا وري اهو رستن ۾ نيڪال ڪيو وڃي ٿو جتي ٻڍا عاجز ۽ جهونا ماڻهو ترڪي يڪدم اعتراف جي ٽڪيٽ خريد ڪن ٿا.

8. هن شهر ۾ ڪيتريون فيڪٽريون آهن جي سواءِ ڪنهن ضابطي جي رات ڏينهن پيون هلن جتي هزارن گاڏين وارا رات پرات ۾ رڙين واهن ۽ گوڙ گهمسان ڪرڻ سان شين جي وسيلن ڏيڻ سان مسلمانن جو آرام ڦٽايو ٿو وڃي. هڪ گرميءَ جو آزار پيو هي آزار سو آرام کي به جواب انهيءَ لاءِ ڪو به بندوبست ڪندو.

9. هندو ماڻهن جو ايترو آزار آهي جو جيڪي کوهه آهن انهن تي گڏهن وارن جو ضابطو آهي جتي گاڏين وارن ۽ گڏجي نوڪرن جو سدائين گوڙ لڳو پيو آهي جتان ان غريب مسلمانن جون زالون پاڻي ڀري ٿيون سگهن.

هاڻي حضور جن آغا نظر علي کي هن سرزمين تي موڪلي ڏيندا ته روبرو حقيقت وٺي واقف ٿي مسلم ليگ برپا ڪري آئينده لاءِ اسان کي سهنج ڪري ڏيندا ته اسان جون دليون مايوس آهن. جن کان لاچار مجبور آهن جڏهن هن خط جي ڪارلواري موڪليندا ته شڪرگذار رهنداسون.

مسلم ليگ جو حلف نامه

جيڪو پاڪستان ڏينهن تي پڙهيو ويو

اسان جو اهو ڪامل يقين آهي ته اسان هندستان جا مسلمان ٻين هندوستاني قومن کان هڪ جدا ۽ ڌار قوم آهيون اسان کي الله تعاليٰ وٽان دنيا ۾ هڪ خاص مقصد جي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ پيدا ڪيو ويو آهي اسان جو ايمان آهي ته انسان ذات ۾ جيڪي ملڪي، زباني، نسلي ۽ رنگي امتياز پيدا ڪيا ويا آهن سي ناجائز آهن اسان جي مقصد جي مراد هي آهي ته سياري انسان ذات جي بهبودي بنا هيٺ مٿاهين جي حاصل ڪئي وڃي! جيئن اسان جي سياسي فلسفي جي مراد آهي ته انسان جي روحاني بهبودي ۽ ترقي حاصل ٿئي تنهنڪري هر ٻين کان نرالو ۽ عليحده آهي، مللوڪيته ۽ سرمايه داري ۽ دينوي لحاظ تي مليل بزرگي يا برتريءَ کي اسان جي سياسي فلسفه ۽ ڪا به جاءِ ڪانهي، مساوات، اخوت ۽ انصاف اسان جي طرز زندگيءَ جا بنيادي اصول آهن، اسان جي سياست جو مقصد ته روءِ زمين تي حڪومت الاهي قائم ڪرڻ آهي.

مٿين مقصد کي دنيا ۾ حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ الاهي امر اسان کي مليل آهي تنهنڪي کي ڪاميابي ۽ ايمانداريءَ سان ادا ڪرڻ لاءِ آهي ته اسنا کي هندستان اندر ضرور پنهنجي خودمختيار آزاد حڪومت هئڻ گهرجي جنهن جي وسيلي اسان پنهنجو اعليٰ مقصد ٻين جي مداخلت ۽ روڪ کانسواءِ حاصل ڪري سگهون، تنهنڪري دارالاسلام يا پاڪستان جنهن کي اسان هندوستان جي مسلمانن لاءِ مسلم ليگ نصب العين مقرر ڪري رکيو آهي سوئي هڪڙو عملي وسيلو آهي جنهن جي ذريعي اسان پنهنجو مقصد حاصل ڪري سگهون ٿا.

آءٌ خدا کي حاضر ناظر ڄاڻي سچي دل سان اقرار ٿو ڪريان ۽ وعدو ٿو ڪريان ته اڄ ڏينهن کان وٺي آءٌ پنهنجن خيالن خواهه عملن کي اهڙي طرح ڪم آڻيندس جنهنڪري پاڪستان جي تحريڪ کي وڌائڻ ۽ زور وٺائڻ ۾ مدد ملندي آءٌ وعدو ٿو ڪريان ته هندوستان ۾ جلد ۾ جلد پاڪستان قائم ڪرڻ لاءِ جڏهن به مسلم ليگ مون کي ڪنهن به قرباني ڪرڻ جو حڪم ڪيو ته ان قرباني ڪرڻ کان ڪين هٽندس آءٌ مسلم ليگ کي زور وٺائڻ لاءِ هر ڪا ڪوشش سچيءَ دل سان ڪندو رهندس ۽ ليگ جي ڪم ڪندڙن جي اخلاقي معيار کي بلند رکڻ ۽ سڄي جماعت کي پاڪ ۽ صاف رکڻ لاءِ هر طرح سنيڪار رهندس. شل الله تعاليٰ مون کي اها توفيق عطا ڪري.

آمين.

آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جو ايڪٽيهون ساليانو اجلاس

استقباليه ڪاميٽيءَ جي چيئرمين جي تقرير

جناب قائداعظم محترم خواتين ۽ معزز حضرات!

آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جي استقباليه ڪاميٽيءَ طرفان آءُ اوهان سڀني حضرات جو هن ”سر زمين سنڌو“ ۾ خير مقدم ڪريان ٿو.

”سنڌوءَ“ مان منهنجو مطلب کنڊ جو اهو ڀاڱو آهي جو دريائي سنڌ ۽ ان سان ملحقه ندين جي ڪنارن سان لاڳو ملڪ آهي. قديم زماني ۾ صوبه سرحد، پنجاب، بلوچستان ۽ موجود صوبه سنڌ ۾ شمار ڪيا ويندا هئا. ليڪن جيئن زمانو گذرندو ويو تيئن انهيءَ نالي وارو ملڪ اراضيءَ ۾ گهٽبو ويو. تان جو هينئر درياهه سنڌ جي فقط آخري حصي واري اراضيءَ سان وڃي منسوب ٿيو آهي. اڄ انهيءَ حقيقت کان بخوبي واقف رهي اسان انهي منزل ڏانهن دوبده وک وڌائي رهيا آهيون، جنهن ۾ اهي سنڌ جا مختلف حصا وري ملي هڪ ٿي ويندا جنهن جو راز پاڪستان جي پياري نالي ۾ مضمر آهي.

حضرات! سنڌ جي ماضيءَ کي قدرت شاندار نياپو هو ۽ اسان کي ص 1 اميد آهي ته سنڌ جو مستقبل به اهڙو ئي شاندار ٿيندو. ڪيترين ڳالهين ۾ هن سرزمين جي تواريخ يگاني ۽ يگاني ۽ يڪتا آهن. هي ملڪ قديم تهذيب جو گهوارو ٿي رهيو آهي جنهن جي تصديق موهن جو دڙو ۽ ٽيڪسلا جون کوجنائون ڪري رهيون آهن. هن سرزمين ۾ رلي ملي هڪ ٿي ويا آهن. هتي دراويدي، سامائيٽ، آريه، منگو، حبشي نسلن جا نشان اڃا تائين نمودار آهن. هتي ڪيئي قومون آيون ۽ هن سرزمين ۽ نه فقط نسلن ۽ قومن کي گڏي هڪ ڪري ڏيکاريو آهي بلڪه جنهن پيماني تي متضاد فلسفات ۽ مختلف مذهبن جو اختلات ڪري ڏيکاريو آهي. ان جو مثال دنيا جي ڪنهن ٻئي حصي ۾ مشڪل نظر ايندو. ٻڌ ڌرم جيتوڻيڪ سرزمين هند ۾ ظهور ورتو تڏهن به ان جا عقيدا جيتري قدر اڃا تائين سرزمين سنڌ ۾ اثرائتا نظر اچن ٿا اوترا سندس ظهور واري زمين تي اڄ پيدا نه آهن ۽ مهاتما بڌ جو ”نفي“ (نروانا) وارو پڙهايل سبق هن ملڪ جي ماڻهن اڃا نه وساريو آهي. جڏهن اسلام هن سرزمين تي پير پاتو تڏهن ٻڌ جي ”نفيءَ“ واريءَ تعليم ۾ ”اثبات“ جو اضافو ٿيو. ويدانيت ۽ وجدانيت جي فلسفن جو به هڪٻئي تي جيترو اثر هن ملڪ اندر پيدا ٿيو اوترو ٻئي ڪنهن هنڌ ڪو نه ٿيو. هڪ طرف هندو جوکين تي وحدانيت اثر وڌو ۽ بت پرستي گهٽجڻ لڳي ته ٻئي طرف مسلم درويش سنياس ۽ راڳ مان مستفيد ٿيا ۽ اهڙيءَ طرح هندو ۽ مسلم عقائد هڪٻئي کي وڌيڪ ويجها آيا. گرونانڪ صاحب جي سکيا انهيءَ حقيقت جو هڪ خاص مثال آهي مذهبي اتحاد پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ شاهه ڀٽائيءَ جهڙن صوفي شاعرن جي نيڪ ڪوشش هميشه هلندي رهي آهي. هن سرزمين جي باشندن خيالي اتحاد جي قيام جو جيڪو عملي ثبوت پيش ڪيو آهي. سو ناقابل ترديد حقيقت آهي ۽ انهيءَ ڪري ڇوت ڇات جا فرق ڦير هن سرزمين ۾ ايتريقدر نظر نٿا اچن جيتري قدر ٻين هنڌن تي اهي نمايان ڏسجن ٿا. واپار ۽ تجارت جي ذريعي مشرق ۽ مغرب جي مختلف تهذيبن کي ملائي هڪ ڪرڻ لاءِ قدرت طرفان جيڪا ڪوشش هن سرزمين تي ٿي آهي. اهڙي ٻئي هنڌ ڪٿي به ڪا نه ٿي آهي هڪ طرف ديبل جو بندر بحري تجارت جو مرڪز هو ته ٻئي طرف سنڌ جا قافلا بين الاقوامي تجارت جو سلسلو بخارا ۽ سمرقند تائين جاري رکندا رهيا. درياهه سنڌ جي زرخيز زمين ڪيترن ئي قومن کي ڪشش ڪري هن سرزمين تي آندو جن مان گهڻيون هت پنهنجو وطن ڪري ويهي رهيون جنهن جو ثبوت هڪ طرف آثار قديمه ۽ ٻئي طرف تواريخي ڪتاب پيش ڪري رهيا آهن.

سياسي نقطه نگاهه کان هي ملڪ گهڻن ئي قومن ۽ نسلن جو آماجگاهه تصادم ٿي رهيو اهي. هن ملڪ جي زرخيزيءَ تازه طبع جنگي نسلن کي الهندي طرف کان هت اچڻ لاءِ گهڻو ڪري پئي حرصايو آهي ۽ جيڪڏهن انهن مان ڪي قليل ڦرلٽ جي مال تي راضي ٿي هتان موٽي هليا ويا ته گهڻا هت اچڻ بعد وري موٽي وڃڻ تي مائل نه ٿيا جنهنڪري هن ملڪ جي ماڻهن جي رڳن ۾ هميشه تازه خون موجزن رهندو آيو آهي. انهيءَ ڪري ئي بابل، مصر، ايران، يونان، عربستان ۽ افغانستان جا آثار اڄ به آسانيءَ سان هت نظر اچي سگهن ٿا جن جي اثر جي مقابلي ۾ جنوبي هندستان جو جيڪڏهن ڪو اثر هن سرزمين تي آهي ته اهو ڪو به وزن ڪو نه ٿو رکي. مٿيون مختصر احوال هن ملڪ جي شاندار ماضيءَ بابت محض هن مراد سان عرض رکيو اٿم ته جيڪي ماڻهو هينيئر ”هندي“ تسلط هيٺ فريضته ٿي سنڌ جي شان ۽ عروج کي وساري ويٺا آهن يا وساري ڇڏڻ لاءِ تيار آهن تن جي ستل غيرت کي سجاڳ ڪرڻ لاءِ هي حقيقتون تازيا نه جو ڪم ڏئي سگهن.

جنهن صورت ۾ اوهان کي هن ملڪ جي شاندار ماضيءَ مان ڪي ٽڪرا ياد آوريءَ لاءِ پيش ڪيا اٿم تنهن صورت ۾ اهو به ضروري آهي ته هن ملڪ جي مستقبل بابت ڪي پنهنجا رايا توهان اڳيان پنهنجي خيال موجب ظاهر پنهنجي خيال موجب ظاهر ڪريان. انسان ابتدائي آفرينش کان وٺي ارتقائي مرحلا طئي ڪندو پنهنجي اصلي مقصد يعني انسان ذات جي وحدت انڪار و ڪردار ڏي وڌي رهيو آهي. ان جون مذهبي خواه سياسي، نسلي خواهه اقتصادي هنگامي آرايون ۽ تمنائون صرف ان مقصد عام کي پهچڻ لاءِ جدا جدا ڪوششون آهن. تواريخ جي هر هڪ صفحي مان توهان کي هن ارتقائي امر جي هر هڪ صفحي مان توهان کي هن ارتقائي امر جو سلسلو صاف ڏسڻ ۾ ايندو. اوائل ۾ انسان ذات ننڍن ننڍن ڪٽنبن ۾ ورهايل هئي ۽ پوءِ ڪٽنبن مان گڏجي قبيلا قائم ٿيا جن وري پوءِ قومن جي صورت اختيار ڪئي. انهيءَ اتحاد جا بنياد به مختلف هئا جن مان ڪي هي هئا ملڪ، زبان، طريقه زندگي ۽ خيالات. ڪجهه وقت کانپوءِ ماده پرستي تي اتحاد جو بنياد آهستي آهستي ڪمزور ثابت ٿيڻ لڳو ۽ ان جي عوض تخيل وڌيڪ مقبوليت حاصل ڪرڻ لڳو. نيٺ عربستان جي ريگستان مان هڪ نئون آواز اٿيو جنهن قبيلن ۽ قومن کي اهڙي نئين طريقي سان ملائي متحد ڪري ڇڏيو، جنهن جهڙي ڪاميابي دنيا جي تواريخ مان اڳي ڪنهن طريقي حاصل نه ڪئي هئي. اهو طريقو اهو هو جنهن نسل، رنگ، طريقه زندگي، ملڪ ۽ زبان وغيره جا امتياز جن تي اتحاد جو بنياد اڳي رکيو ويندو هو، سي خارج ڪري ڪڍي ڇڏيا. جيتوڻيڪ شروع ۾ انهيءَ آواز جو اثر قديم دنيا جي وڏي حصي کي ويڙهي ويو تڏهن به دنيا وري پراڻن خيالات ۽ خرافات ۽ غلطان ٿيڻ لڳي جنهن جو نتيجو هي نڪتو جو ملت جو شيرازه منتشر ٿيڻ لڳو ۽ جيڪي ماڻهو انهيءَ نئين طريقه جا امانتدار هئا سي هڪ ٻئي کان ڇڄي تفرقه جي قيد ۾ اچي تنزل طرف هلڻ لڳا. ان خاميءَ کي سنڌوءَ جي سرزمين جي ڪن دانا ۽ دور نظر هستين محسوس ڪري ورتو جن مان شاهه ولي الله، سيد احمد ۽ سيد جمال الدين افغاني قابل ذڪر اهن. جن ملت اسلام جي اصلي تعليم تازه ڪرائڻ جي ڪوشش ڪئي. الحمد الله جو موجوده دور اهو آواز از سر نو اٿاريو جنهن جي اثر جي برڪت سان اڄ توهان پنهنجي ملت جي تازه دمي ڏسي رهيا آهيون.

ٻئي طرف مغرب به گهڻي خونريزي بعد محسوس ڪرڻ لڳو آهي ته جيستائين انساني اتحاد جو بنياد بلڪل بدلايو نه ويندو تيستائين دنيا جو ڪو ڪلياڻ ڪو نه ٿي سگهندو. اڄ به خيالن جي يڪساني جي دعويٰ عام شيوه ٿي رهي آهي. مگر اهي خيالات وري وري پيا آزمائجن جي ناقص آهن ۽ اڳئي آزمائي ڏٺا ويا آهن ته برابر ناقص ۽ بي سود آهن، جنهنڪري وري به ناڪامياب ثابت ٿين ٿا ۽ هڪ جنگ مٿا وري ٻي جنگ پيدا ڪن ٿا. دنيا جي مشڪلات جا بي اثر حل جدا جدا نالن هيٺ سرسري غور ڪرڻ سان وري وري پيش ڪيا وڃن ٿا جن کي ڪو به جٽاءُ حاصل نٿو ٿئي ۽ ٿورن سالن اندر جي انسان جي تواريخ ۾ ڪن گهڙين برابر آهن پاڻي جي چٽ وانگر چٽ ٿيو وڃن! جيتوڻيڪ عالمگير اخوت ۽ انساني اتحاد جي جستجو اڄ شروع ٿي چڪي آهي تڏهن به حقيقي همنوائي ۽ ابدي اصلاح تيستائين قائم نه ٿي سگهندا جيستائين دنيا جي موجوده سياسي، اقتصادي ۽ مذهبي نظريات جو ڪو خاطر خواهه حل هٿ نه ڪيو ويو آهي. انهيءَ قسم جي حل هٿ ڪرڻ ۽ ان کي عملي صورت اختيار ڪرائڻ لاءِ تواريخي روايات جي بنياد تي ڪنهن خاص ملڪي ماحول ۽ دماغي تربيت جي ضرورت آهي. انهيءَ عالمي مقصد جي سرانجاميءَ لاءِ سنڌو جي سرزمين جا باشنده دنيا جي ٻين ڀاڱن جي رهاڪن کان قدرت زياده قابل بڻايا آهن. قديم زماني جي تواريخ شاهد آهي ته هن سرزمين ۾ مختلف نسل، تهذيبون مذهبي فلسفو ۽ سياسي طريقا ڪيئن گڏجي هڪ ٿيا آهن. دنيا جي نئين نظام قائم ڪرڻ ۽ مشرق ۽ مغرب کي پاڻ ۾ ملائڻ لاءِ ”سرزمين سنڌو“ خاص پيغام ڏيندي جنهن جا آثار آءُ اڳيئي ڏسي رهيو آهيان. ان پيغام جي ابتدا هن سرزمين تان ٿيندي. جيتوڻيڪ روس ۽ آمريڪا جا اقتصادي ۽ سياسي عقيده هڪٻئي جا مخالف آهن تڏهن به جيڪڏهن دنيا جي نئين نظام کي نزيدڪ تر آڻڻ لاءِ هو پاڻ ۾ گڏجي ڪوشش وٺي سگهن ٿا ته خضر حيات خان ۽ سر ڇوٽو رام ڇو نه گڏجي مٿيون پيغام پهچائڻ لاءِ همنوائي مثال پيش ڪري سگهن ٿا؟ ليڪن ارمان آهي ته عارضي ۽ بي بقا ڳانڍاپي آڻڻ لاءِ هند سرزمين جي ماڻهن کي ڀنڀلائي ڀڙڪائي رهيا آهن ۽ اسان جي هن سرزمين جا ڪي مسلم خواه غير مسلم دوست انهن جي گمراهه ڪندڙ پروپيگنڊا جي اثر هيٺ اچي ويا آهن ۽ هنن تواريخ خواه حقيقت کي نظرانداز ڪري ڇڏيو آهي ۽ ”متحده قوميت“ ۽ متحده هندستان جا آواز اٿاري رهيا آهن. مگر سر زمين سنڌو جا باشندا  نه فقط هندستان مگر ساري روءِ زمين کي متحد ڪرڻ گهرن ٿا! الله تعاليٰ شال اسان جي دوستن کي راهه هدايت نصيب ڪندو. مگر جيڪڏهن هو غير جي جادو بيانيءَ جي ڄار کان پاڻ آجو نه ڪندا ته ان مان اجايو فتنه ۽ فتور پيدا ٿيندو!

سر زمين سنڌ جا باشندا هاڻ سجاڳ ٿي چڪا آهن ۽ دنيا جي نئين نظام جي تنظيم ۾ بهرو وٺڻ لاءِ هنن کي غير جي اثر کان ضرور آزاد ڪرائڻ گهرجي!

آءُ وري به پنهنجي ملڪ جي غير مسلمن کي اپيل ٿو ڪريان ته اسان سان هٿ هٿ ۾ ڏيئي پنهنجي وطن کي آزاد ۽ خودمختيار بڻائڻ ۾ مدد ڪريو. ”مسلمانن کان خريد ڪريو“، جي تحريڪ جڏهن اسان شرعو ڪئي ته هنن هاءِ گهوڙا مچائي ڏني جنهن مان هنن ظاهر ثبوت ڏنو ته اسان جي انهن دوستن ۾ قوميت جو احساس بلڪل ڪو نه آهي. اسان جا مسلمان هند خواه دولت ۾ پٺتي پيل آهن. تنهنڪري اسان جي غير مسلم هم وطن دوستن کي جيڪڏهن قوميت جو صحيح جذبو هجي ها ته جيڪر اسان جي انهيءَ تحريڪ جي تائيد ڪري مسلمانن کي همٿائي ملڪ ۾ جمهوري حڪومت جو بنياد ۽ ان جي باشندن جي اقتصادي بهتريءَ جو باعث بڻجي پوي ها. مگر جڏهن به ڪي مسلمان پنهنجي مسلم ڀائرن جي حالت سڌارڻ ص نمبر 4. جي ڪوشش ڪن ٿا ته کين همٿائڻ جي عيوض اسان جا غيرمسلم دوست پاڻ مسلمانن جي مخالفت ۽ ان تي اعتراض ڪن ٿا. مگر هو ڏسن ٿا ته سندن اها روش سندن قومي احساس جي قلت ۽ سندن تنگولي جو مظاهرو ڪري ٿي جنهن مان قومي اتحاد جي اميد بلڪل نابود ٿي وڃي ٿي ان هوندي به جيڪڏهن هو انهيءَ روش تان نه هٽندا ته پوءِ اسان مسلمانن لاءِ فقط هي رستو رهندو جو اسان الله تعاليٰ تي توڪل رکي پنهنجي نجات ۽ فلاح جي رستي تي وک اڳتي وڌايون.

هن موقعي تي آءُ هند جي مسلمانن کي اپيل ٿو ڪريان ته جيتوڻيڪ اسان جي هن سرزمين جي غير مسلم باشندن جو مفاد مسلم مفاد سان ناموافق به نه آهي تڏهن به هو هند جي غير مسلمانن سان ملي اسان کي هند جو غلام بڻائڻ ۾ هنن جي حمايت ڪري رهيا آهن، فقط انهيءَ سبب ڪري جو اسان مسلمان آهيون. ان صورت ۾ هند جي هر هڪ مسلمان جو فرض آهي ته اسان جي هن سرزمين کي آزاد ۽ خودمختيار ڪرڻ ۾ اسان جي مدد ڪري پاڪستان جي تحريڪ ۾ هند جي مسلمانن جيڪي نيڪ ڪوششون ڪيون آهن تن جو مون کي پورو پورو اعتراف آهي مگر آءُ سمجهان ٿو ته اهي اڃا ڪافي نه آهن. قوم جي خودمختياري ۽ آزادي فقط ٺهراءُ پاس ڪرڻ ۽ اخباري پروپيگنڊا ڪرڻ سان حاصل ڪا نه ٿيندي. انهيءَ مقصد لاءِ وڏي جدوجهد ۽ گهڻي قرباني جي ضرورت آهي. هن سرزمين جا باشنده قرباني ڪرڻ لاءِ تيار آهن ۽ حالتون به سازگار آهن مگر اسان کي ضرورت مخلص ڪارڪنن ۽ سرمائي جي آهي.

مخلص ڪارڪنن مان منهنجي مراد آهي مرد ۽ عورتون آهن جي ملت ۽ مذهب خاطر هن ملڪ ۾ اچي ملت جي سياسي ۽ معاشرتي ترقيءَ لاءِ خدمت ڪن ۽ اسان جي ماڻهن کي منظم ڪري آزادي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ تيار ڪن.

سرمايه مان منهنجو مطلب آهي ته هند جا مسلم سرمائيدار آئينده پنهنجي تجارتي ۽ هنري سرگرمين کي هن سرزمين ڏانهن منتقل ڪن جيئن آئينده هي ملڪ اقتصادي طرح پاڻ تي مدار رکندڙ ۽ پنهنجي ضرورت جي پوري ڪرڻ جو پاڻ ڪفيل ٿي سگهي.

اهي ٻه خاميون دور ڪرڻ ۾ اوهان هند جا مسلمان اسان جي گهڻي مدد ڪري سگهو ٿا. تواريخ شاهد آهي ته مٿي ذڪر ڪيل مقصد لاءِ هن کان اڳي به توهان سيد احمد بريلوي ۽ اسماعيل شهيد جهڙا مجاهد بزرگ اسان لاءِ موڪليا آهن. ڇا اڄ اوهان وٽ انهن جهڙا ماڻهو موجود نه آهن؟ مون کي يقين آهي ته اڄ به اهڙا احمد ۽ اسماعيل توهان وٽ اندر سندن سرگرميون کين اجازت نٿيون ڏين جو ٻئي پاسي متوجهه ٿي سگهن. جيڪڏهن گجرات ۽ بمبئيءَ جون عورتون هندو تسلط قائم ڪرڻ خاطر صوبه سرحد تائين وڃي سگهيون آهن ته ڇا اسان توهان ڀائرن ۾ اميد رکي نٿا سگهون؟ اسان جي مستقبل سان توهان جو مستقبل وابسته آهي. هند ۾ اوهان ڀلي ڪهڙي اوج تي به هجو تڏهن به مون کي يقين آهي ته اسان جي وطن جي مضبوطي کانسواءِ توهان جو اهو اوج پائيدار ڪين ٿي سگهندو. هند ۾ توهان جو وجود اسان جي سرزمين جي اقتدار ۽ استقامت تي ئي مدار رکندو. ملت کي منزل مقصود تائين پهچائڻ لاءِ هيٺين ٽن ڳالهين جي درڪار آهي:-

1. ملت جي متشر شيرازه کي منظم ڪري وحدت ڪردار پيدا ڪرڻ،

2. ملڪ جي اقتصادي حالت درست ڪري ان کي پنهنجي پاڻ تي مدار رکندڙ ۽ پنهنجو پاڻ ڪفيل بڻائڻ،

3. آئينده جي سياست مليه جو پروگرام اسلامي مساوات ۽ اخوت تي تعمير ڪرڻ.

پهرين ضرورت تڏهن پوري ٿيندي جڏهن ساري ملت ۾ مجاهدانه روح ڦوڪي ملت جي هر هڪ بالغ فرد کي ”نيشنل گارڊ“ ۾ داخل ڪيو ويندو.

ٻي ضرورت جي پوري ڪرڻ ۾ توهان هند جا مسلمان اسان جي گهڻي مدد ڪري سگهو ٿا. هن ملڪ جا باشندا گهڻو ڪري راعت پيشه آهن ۽ تجارت ۽ صنعت کان بي بهره آهن. اوهان جو پئسو ۽ تجربو اسان جي اها خامي دور ڪري سگهن ٿا. اسان توهان کي سڀ قسم جون سهوليتون ڏيڻ لاءِ تيار آهيون. توهان جي انهيءَ ڪم کي توهان لاءڀ آسان ڪري ڏيڻ لاءِ ”مسلمانن کان خريد ڪريو“ جي تحريڪ اسان اڳئي شروع ڪري ڏني آهي ۽ خدا تعاليٰ جي فضل سان انهيءَ تحريڪ چڱو اثر پيدا ڪيو آهي. انهيءَ تحريڪ جي اثر کي پايه تڪميل تائين پهچائن ۾ دير فقط تجربا ۽ سرمايه جي آهي جنهنڪري اسان کي اميد آهي ته هن باره ۾ توهان اسان جي دستگيري ڪندا.

اسان جي مخالفن هينئر اسان جي ملت کي هڪ مرڪز تي گڏ ٿيندو ڏسي اسان جي ملت جي شيرازه کي منتشر ڪرڻ لاءِ سرمايه داري ۽ غير سرمايه داري جو حربه (هٿيار) ڪتب آڻڻ شروع ڪيو آهي ۽ غريب طبقي کي ڀنڀلائي شاهوڪار طبقي خلاف ڀڙڪائڻ لڳا آهن. بدقسمتيءَ سان ڪيترا سادا ماڻهو انهيءَ هٿيار جو شڪار ٿيا آهن ۽ ملت جي مخالفن جا ايجنٽ تي ڪم ڪري رهيا آهن ۽ قوم جي مسڪنت جي مڪر سان ملت ۾ خانه جنگي ۽ تباهي پيدا ڪري رهيا آهن. امڪان آهي ته ڪي بکايل ۽ بي علم ماڻهو صياد جي دام تزوير ۾ گرفتار ٿي وڃن. تنهنڪري اهو نهايت ضروري آهي ته هن مسئلي کي خاطر خواهه نمونه ۾ حل ڪرڻ لاءڀ ترت تدارڪ ڪيو وڃي جنهن لاءِ اسان مان مخلص ڪارڪن، مسڪين، هارين ۽ غريب مزدورن کي مسلم ليگ جهنڊي هيٺ منظم ڪري انهن جي اقتصادي ۽ سياسي بهتريءَ واسطي سڀ ممڪن ڪوشش ڪن جيئن مخالفن جي فتنه ۽ شرارت کي هميشه لاءِ روڪي رد ڪري ڇڏجي.

دوستو! تواريخي نقطه نگاهه کان هيءَ ڪانفرنس وڏي اهميت رکي ٿي. هن وقت تائين مسلم ليگ ملت کي آزاد ۽ خودمختيار قومي حڪومت جي بنياد تي متحد ڪرڻ لاءِ پئي ڪوشش ڪئي آهي. خدا جي فضل سان هنيئر مسلمان انهيءَ اصول تي متحد ۽ متفق ٿي چڪا آهن ۽ هنيئر انهيءَ منزل تي پهتا آهن جڏهن عملي قدمن کڻڻ جي ضرورت پيدا ٿي آهي. ملت جي سياسي تواريخ ۾ هيءَ هڪ نئين دور جي شروعات آهي.

آخر ۾ آءُ وري به توهان جو شڪريه ادا ڪريان ٿو جو هن ڪانفرنس ۾ شريڪ ٿيڻ لاءِ هن سياري جي موسم ۾ دور دراز ملڪن مان ڪهي هت ڪراچيءَ تائين آيا آهيو. پنهنجي مهمانن جي آسائش جي انتظام ڪرڻ لاءِ اسان پنهنجي ناقص حال سارو وس مان ڪين گهٽايو آهي. ممڪن آهي ته ڪيتريون اوڻايون رهجي ويون هجن مگر اميد آهي ته توهان اسان جون خاميون خيال ۾ نه آڻيندا.

SINDH MUSLIM LEAGUE AND ITS ACTIVITIES (1937-1947) AS RECORDED AND REPORTED BY SINDH GOVERNMENT.

[This information consists of reports sent by the Home Department of Sindh to the Government of India. Reference has been given at the end of every entry. Dr.Pathan.

Part One

                                             

1. The members of the "Sind Provincial Muslim League"- which has for its members those Muslims who are opposed to the present ministry have been active during the fortnight, touring the province and established branches of the League in the mofussil. At one place the party was hustled in its endeavours  to hold a public meeting in the local mosque and was eventually compelled to convene the meeting elsewhere. Sheikh Abdul Majid Lilaram, M.L.A., a member of the League, has left for Delhi en route for Calcutta to attend the  meeting of the All-India Muslim League at the latter place and to persuade Mr. M.A.Jinnah and Moulanas Shaukat Ali and Hasrat Mohani to visit Sind in order "to organise the League and consolidate unity amongst the Muslim members of the Sind Assembly."[Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th March 1938 Fortnightly report for the Second half of February 1938].

2. Propaganda by the Sind Provincial Muslim League against the present ministry still continues but is now being met by counter-propaganda by the supporters of the ministry, and the League's attempts to raise the cry of "Islam in danger" have met with very little success. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 18th May 1938 Fortnightly report for the First half of May1938].

3. Branches of the Muslim League were formed in several places, namely, Tatta, district Karachi, Ghotki, district Sukkur, Mohabat Tunio, district Larkana, Mirokhan, district Larkana and Matiari, district Hyderabad, with a view to counteract the Congress propaganda. It is reported that Maulana Said Ahmed, Secretary, Jamiat-ul-Ulemai Sind, Delhi, proposes to visit Sind in September 1938, in order to carry on propaganda against the Muslim League. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 10th June 1938 Fortnightly report for the Second half of May1938].

4. The events of the fortnight were overshadowed by the Conference of the Muslim League, which commenced at Karachi on the 8th October and continued till the 12th October. A number of distinguished Muslims from various parts of India attended the Conference, prominent amongst whom were the Premiers of Bengal and the Punjab, Moulana Shaukat Ali, the Raja of Mahmudabad, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan and Sir Currimbhoy Ibrahim. A rousing reception was accorded to Mr. M. A. Jinnah, President-elect, on his arrival at Karachi on the 7th October. A number of social function were organised in his honour and addresses were presented to him by the Karachi Municipal Corporation and the Karachi District Local Board. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 18th October 1938 Fortnightly report for the First half of October 1938].

5. Scenes of great enthusiasm were witnessed during the session of the Conference. An impassioned appeal for Muslim unity and  vehement denunciation of the Congress formed the main features of Mr.Jinnah's presidential address. His sentiments were echoed by most of the visitors from outside Sind, while the local leaders of the Muslim League spoke mainly on the political situation in Sind and attacked the Ministry in very strong terms. The 'frontier policy of the Government of India, the liquidation of the Barrage debt and the Palestinian affairs were some of the other subjects discussed at the Conference. Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 18th October 1938 Fortnightly report for the First half of October 1938].

6. During his stay at Karachi, Mr. Jinnah met all the prominent Muslims in Sind, including most of the Muslim members of the Legislative Assembly. He had prolonged conversations with the Chief Minister and the Revenue Minister on the political situation, but owing to fundamental differences, the negotiations for forming a Muslim League Ministry broke down. The statements made by Mr. Jinnah and the Chief Minister in regard to these proceedings have already appeared in the press. The Conference has widened the gulf between the Ministerialist and the Opposition parties, and although the storm has passed for the present, the Ministry is likely to have a very difficult time during the ensuing session of the Legislative Assembly.

9. The Sukkur Manzilgah continues to cause anxiety. The threatened picketing of the residences of the Ministers (excepting the Chief Minister) did not take place, mainly because of the Ordinance mentioned in my last report, but also because there appears to be a split among the Muslim agitators, the extremists among them having no liking for negotiations on any terms with the Ministry. Propaganda both in the Press and on the platform continues. It is assuming a violent tone- speakers and writers on both sides adopting a communal attitude and trying to give the dispute an all-India aspect. For instance, Mr. Shamdas P. Gidwani at an Arya Samaj meeting held in Karachi on the 15th October moved a resolution protesting against the illegal occupation of the Manzilgah and urging the Hindu Maha Sabha to depute an Enquiry Committee to investigate into the conditions of Hindus in the Provinces of Sind, Bengal and the Punjab. Similarly Muslim leaders have appealed to the Muslim League in other Provinces for moral support.

10. Political activity during the fortnight has been enlivened by the brisk preparations of the Muslim League to celebrate the All-India "Deliverance Day", which is to be held on the 22nd December throughout Sind. It has been decided that Muslims all over the Province should be asked to go en masse for prayers on Friday, the 22nd December, and public meetings should be held after the juma prayers at which two resolutions, the next of which has been prepared in advance, should be passed. Every Muslims has been asked to offer prayers of thanksgiving to God on that day for delivering the country from the oppressive and unjust rule of the Congress. The second resolution mentions the anti-Muslim policy of the Congress, which failed to safeguard the rights and interests of Muslims and other minorities. Mention in the resolution has also been made of Muslim opinion being flouted at every turn by the Congress Ministries during their unjust rule of two and a half years. It is learnt that Sir Haji Abdullah Haroon has instructed workers of the Sind Muslim League to call a meeting at Karachi on the 22nd December in connection with this movement.

11.The Muslim and Hindu Press in Sind continue to fan the flames of communalism by publishing articles likely to excite communal feelings. Hindu for instance started wild rumours that Muslims were disintering the bones of the dead from grave yards and were reburying them within the precincts of the Manzilgah while. Muslim papers appealed to their brethren not buy food from Hindu shops as a Hindu had been caught cooking pork, Agitation carried on in the press by Muslims characterises the Hindus as narrow-minded, cowardly and mean. One paper goes on to say " the Hindus should use their own commonsense and realize that eventually they have to live in Sind by sucking the blood of Muslims". According to reports from Sukkur the Hindus are jubilant over the promulgation of the Sind Ordinance. Some Muslim agitators on the contrary consider the Ordinance as a challenge and are inclined to treat it with defiance, while others think that it is a game of blutt and will remain a dead letter. The Pir of Bharchundi is annoyed with Moulvi Abdul Hamid editor of "Alminar" of Sukkur for reporting that the Pir had decided to withdraw himself and his men from the Manzilgah agitation. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd November 1939 Fortnightly report for the Second half of October 1939].

12.The Hindus have further started an agitation against the separation of Sind from Bombay and an attempt is being made to induce the authorities to rescind the order of separation and to reunite the two provinces. They say that they have suffered in the judicial, Public Works, Police and other Government departments in the Judicial, public Works, Police and other Government departments in which the rights of Hindus have been completely ignored although there is a standing order that 50 per cent. of posts are to be given to non-Muslims. Men and money are being collected for propaganda to get Sind reunited with Bombay. As a counter move it is understood that Haji Sir Abdullah Haroon is requesting His Excellency the Viceroy that Sind be joined to the Punjab if as a separate province it cannot stand on its own legs. It is said that Mr.M.A. Jinnah is to accompany Sir Abdullah Haroon on this mission.

A fervent appeal for Muslim unity and a scathing denuciation of the Congress and its policy formed the main features of the visitors' speechs. Gandhi was rated as working against Muslims in consort with the Imperial power and the Congress demand for a Constituent Assembly was declared to be wrong in principal. The fate of the Muslims in India was alleged to be no better than that of the Arabs in Palestine and Muslims were urged to seek emancipation in the fold of the Muslim League. The view was also expressed that the Congress High Command was riding for a fall and a suggestion was made that the Government of India should appoint an international commission to report on the allegations made against the Congress Ministers. The anti-Nizam agitation, the conquest of Albania by Italy and affairs in Palestine were some of the other subjects referred to and condemned by the visitors while the local leaders of the Muslim League spoke mainly on the political situation in the province and attacked the Ministry in very strong terms. A foreign office of the All-India League has been opened at Karachi.

As a counter-blast to the activities of the Muslim League, the opponents of the League convened the "First Provincial Ahrar Political Conference" which was held from the 9th to the 11th June, the attendance numbering about two thousand persons each day.

They intend to assist the Muslim accused in defending the charges brought against them, and to provide some financial relief also.

لاڙڪاڻي ضلعي جي مسلمانن جو هي نمائنده جلسو آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ ۾ پنهنجو ڪلي اعتماد ڏيکاريندي ظاهر ڪري ٿو ته آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ هندستان جي مسلمانن جي واحد قومي جماعت آهي.

ڇو ته وقت گهڻو گذري چڪو هو. تنهنڪري قاضي صاحب کي پنهنجن بي پناهه جذبات ظاهر ڪرڻ جو موقعو ملي نه سگهيو. ٻيو ٺهراءُ به يڪراءُ پاس ٿيو.

وڌيڪ مولانا صاحب فرمايو ته کان هڪ مذهبي ماڻهو آهيان. اسلام جو جيتري قدر مون مطالعو ڪيو آهي ۽ ان موجب مون کي جيڪا ڄاڻ حاصل ٿي آهي ساهيءَ آهي ته مسلمانن جو شان ۽ مان ۽ وقار هن ۾ آهي ته هو پنهنجو خالص اسلامي نظام قائم ڪن ۽ غير جي مدد جا محتاج نه رهن. مولانا موصوف پنهنجي تقرير ۾ قرآن پاڪ ۽ احاديث نبوي صاحب جو به نهايت پراثر وعظ فرمايو. جنهن کانپوءِ سڄي جلسي تي ڪافي اثر ٿيو ان کانپوءِ مولانا موصوف دعاءِ خير گهري ۽ اهڙيءَ ريت جلسه خير و خوبي ۽ نهايت شاندار ڪاميابيءَ سان اختتام پذير ٿيو.

وزيراعظم جي شڪارپور وادي جاءِ تي هن وقت کان وٺي مظاهرو شروع ڪيو ويو آهي. اڄ صبح جو 10 بجي تائين 220 والنٽيئر گرفتار ٿي چڪا آهن.

مسجد منزل گاهه بابت هندو اخبارن جي فرقيوارانه ڪوڙي پروپيگنڊا، مسلمان مجاهدن معافي ڪا نه ورتي آهي. سمورو وقت پرامن نموني ۾ ستياگرهه هلي رهيو آهي.

هندو اخبارن جي ڪوڙن تي هرگز اعتبار ڪرڻ نه گهرجي. (خاص تار)

گذريل ڏينهن چئن ڏينهن اندر مسجد منزل گاهه جي سول نافرماني ۾ مجاهدن نهايت حيرت انگيز نموني ۾ سمورو وقت بلڪل عدم تشدد ۽ غير فرقيوارانه روش ۽ منظم طريقي تي رهيا آهن. حالانڪه جيل جي اندر يا جيل کان ٻاهر کين گرمي ۽ بک جو سخت مقابلو ڪرڻو پيو آهي.

اخبار سنڌ آبزرور ۾ ستياگرهه تحريڪ بابت جيڪي به خبرون شايع ٿيون آهن سي بلڪل شرارت انگيز آهن. جنهن ڪري ممڪن آهي ته آئينده هلي حالتون فرقيوارانه رنگ اختيار ڪن. 3 آڪٽوبر واري پرچي ۾ ستياگرهه بابت سمورا ليک غلط آهن. سنڌ آبزور مسجد جي پرامن ۽ عدم تشدد واري ستياگره کي بدانتظامي وارو انڌاڌنڌ سڏيو آهي. هوڏانهن اوم منڊلي ۽ هنومان مندر جي هندن واري ستياگرهه جي خوب حمايت ڪئي هئائين. هن هي به لکيو آهي ته (1) ستياگرهين 144 قلم واپس وٺڻ مان فائدو ورتو ۽ (2) آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ ستياگره جي اجازت ڪا نه ڏني آهي ۽ (3) ڪن والنٽيئر، معافي ورتي آهي مگر اهي سموريون ڳالهيون آبزرور جون بلڪل غلط ۽ بي بنياد آهن.

ستياگرهه تڏهن ئي شروع ڪيو ويو جڏهن وزيراعظم مسلمانن جي جائز مطالبن قبول ڪرڻ انڪار ڪيو. ان ۾ شڪ ڪو نه آهي ته پهرين تاريخ شروع ۾ ستياگره مهمل رکيو ويو هو. آخر وزيراعظم جي آخرين جواب کانپوءِ ستياگرهه جاري ڪيو ويو.

از کانسواءِ سنڌ آبزرور هي به لکيو آهي ته اگرچه واري ڪائونسل ٽوڙي ويئي  آهي ته به ڪنهن ميمبر استعيفيَ ڪا نه ڏني آهي. هوڏانهن اها خبر به بلڪل غلط آهي. هندو اخبارن جي اهڙي پروپيگنڊا ماڻهن ۾ غير ضروري ڊپ ۽ مونجهاري پيدا ڪندي جا صوبا جي مفاد جي بلڪل خلاف آهي. هندو خاطو پنهنجن اخبارن کي بلڪل ڪوڙيون خبرون موڪلي رهيا آهن. جن تي اعتبار ڪرڻ نه گهرجي. هندو اخبارون اسان جون ڏنل خبرون بالڪل شايع نٿيون ڪن.

منزل گاهه ستياگره ڪميٽيءَ جي پهرئين ڊڪٽيٽر مسٽر واجد علي شيخ پير الاهي بخش تعليمي وزير کي خط لکيو آهي ته اوهان کي سڌ آهي ته ڪنهن لاچاري حالتن هيٺ مسلمانن کي منزل گاهه حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ ستياهه گرهه جي باهه مان لنگهڻو پيو آهي. اسان کي رواجي انصاف به الهه بخش وزارت جي هٿ هيٺ نٿو ڏنو وڃي. انهيءَ ڪري مسلمانن جي پاران اوهان کي عرض ڪندس ته اوهين وزيريءَ جي عهدي جي استعيفيَ ڏيئي اچو. جيڪڏهن 10 آڪٽوبر اندر استعيفيَ نه ڏيندا ته اسان کي لاچار توهان جي درن تي ستياگرهه ڪرڻو پوندو، جيئن توهان کي سڌ پوي ته اوهان مسلمانن ڏانهن ڪهڙو بي پرواهه رهيا آهيو.

پير الاهي بخش جو جواب

پير الاهي انهيءَ جي جواب ۾ مسٽر واجد علي شيخ کي پير صاحب لکيو آهي ته اوهان جي خط مان اوهان جو مشڪور آهيان جو اوهان مون کي لکيو آهي ته مسلمانن جو سڏ اونائي مان استعيفيٰ ڏيان ڇاڪاڻ ته منزل کان مسجد مسلمانن کي نٿي موٽائي وڃي. مان انهيءَ ڳالهه کان واقف آهيان ته مان خدا ڏانهن ۽ انهن مسلمانن ڏانهن جوابدار آهيان جن مسلمانن جو مان عيوضي آهيان. اوهان جي خط پهچڻ کان اڳيئي مون انهيءَ باري ۾ مقدم کنيا آهن ۽ مان پنهنجن ساٿين کي باز آڻڻ جي ڪوشش ڪري رهيو آهيان. جيڪڏهن انصاف نه مليو ته مان پاڻ کي مسلمانن جي حوالي ڪندس ۽ هنن جي راءِ جي خلاف نه هلندس. مان اسيمبليءَ جي دوستن کي به انهيءَ باري ۾ گهرايان ٿو ۽ هنن سان به صلاح ڪريان ٿو.

وڌيڪ جاچ ڪندي معلوم ٿو ٿئي ته اهو ناممڪن نه آهي ته سر غلام حسين  به پنهنجي عهدي جي استعيفيٰ ڏئي. (هه)

ڪراچيءَ ۾ آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جو اجلاس

باب الاسلام ۾ اسلام جو نظارو

ڪراچي جنهن کي باب الاسلام ڪوٺيو وڃي ٿو. هن شهر ۾ آل انڊيا مسلم ليگ جو عظيم الشان اجلاس ٿيو. مولانا وفائي صاحب ان ۾ شريڪ ڪو نه ٿي سگهيو. اجلاس جو بنيادي مقصد هو پاڪستان جو حصول ۽ اسلامي صوبن ۾ نج قرآني ۽ اسلامي حڪومت جو قيام. پر اجلاس جي روئيداد بابت همعصر” مدينه مجنور“ پنهنجي عيوضيءَ جي قلم مان هيٺين طرح لکيو آهي.

”مسلم ليگ جي اجلاس ۾ ڏاڍوانبوهه هو. شان و شوڪت هو. شور گوڙو هو. هڪ وڏو خوبصورت پنڊال ۽ سهڻا دروازا هئا. جلوس هو، جلسا هو. مطلب ته هر هڪ شئي ٿي پر نهٿايت وڏي پيمانيتي هئي. مگر افسوس جا شيءَ اتي ڪا نه هئي سا فقط هڪ ئي هئي اڃا ته اسلام جي سادگي ۽ سچائي بلڪل ڪا نه هئي نه وري خدا ۽ مينڊس رسول جي حڪمن تي ڪا پيروي ٿي. جلوس نڪتو جلسو ٿيو، ڊگهيون ڊگهيون تقريرون. ان وچ ۾ ڪيترا دفعا نماز جو وقت آيو ۽ هليو ويو مگر ڏٺو ويو ته ڪنهن به خدا جي اڳيان سجده ۾ ستل رکڻ ضڙوري خيال ڪو نه ڪيو.“

هن تي همعصر ”مسلمان“ لاهور لکيو آهي ته:

”هي مسلم ليگ جو جلسو هو جنهن ۾ پاڪستان حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ ماڻهن کي گڏ ڪيو ويو، هي ڪو اسلامي مجمع ڪو نه هو جتي اسلاميه تعليم جي پابنديءَ جو خيال رکيو وڃي ها. ان کانسواءِ هن وقت تائين ويچارو مسلمان هندن جي غلبه وري خطري کان ٻاهر ڪو نه ٿي سگهيو، ان حالت ۾ هو اسلام تي ڪيئن عمل ڪري سگهندو.“

مولانا صاحب اڳتي لکي ٿو ته باب الاسلام ۾ جنهن جماعت جو ايڏو وڏو اجلاس نيڪ مقصدن لاءِ ڪيو وڃي ٿو ۽ انهيءَ جماعت ۾ محض وڏا ماڻهو ليڊر ته آهن جن مان ماڻهن تي اثر ڪو نه ٿو ٿئي ڇاڪاڻ ته خلافت تحريڪ ۾ صرف علماءَ دين هئا جن جو اثر عوام تي ٿيو. ان جي مقابلي ۾ حصول پاڪستان لاءِ گڏ ٿيل جماعت جو ماڻهن تي اثر ڪو نه ٿو ٿئي.

All-India Muslim League

First Session

Karachi, December 29-30, 1907.

The First Session of the All-India Muslim League opened on December 29, 1907, and was attended by delegates from different parts of the country; Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy on his entrance to the conference mondop was received with enthusiastic cheers.

Mr. Dehlavi, Karachi Secretary of the League, opened the proceedings by welcome the delegates. He said that when he was first asked to accept the post of Local Secretary in Karachi, he hesitated to do so because he did not know whether the line of action he had to take in Sind would be consonant with the line of action which the League had in view now. He was in a position to say that it had the same spirit which their old thinkers and elders wished it to be. In benighted Sind political methods were calm; in fact they were devoid of agitation. The Muslim League was a new institution in India, but he thought if it carried on work in that quiet and calm manner which was characteristic of the political methods in Sind, it would grow into a most powerful and effective political force.

Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk then moved that Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy be elected President. Nawab Ali Choudhri and Mian Muhammad Shah Din respectively seconded and supported the proposition.

Mr. Shah Din said that Sir Adamjee held a very high position in the estimation both of the Government and the public. It was estimated that his public charities amounted to no less than Rs.50 lakhs. Only in the previous year he had made a donation of Rs.1, 10,000 for the establishment of a science college at Aligarh. In view of his high virtues, his disinterested philanthropy and his public spirit there was no Mohammedan in India who stood higher in public estimation than Sir Adamjee, and therefore, it was fit and proper that they should select him to preside over their deliberations.

At the request of the President, his son, Mr.Mohamedbhai, read his Presidential address, which was listened to with keen interest and punctuated with frequent applause.

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS OF SIR ADAMJEE

Gentlemen, I thank you most heartily for the great honour you have done me in selecting me to preside over your deliberations at this second gathering of the All-India Muslim League. I can only say that his is one of the proudest moments of my life and that the memory of the honour you have done me will never fade my mind.

I need hardly tell you that this is only the second occasion on which this League has met. Its first public appearance was in December last year at Dacca when that great son of our patriotic community, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk, occupied the Presidential chair. The success of that first effort was al that we could naturally expect. Its proceedings were reported throughout the British Empire, and in the great London Press there were inspiring comments and criticisms which not only indicated that the movement had the widest sympathy of all well-wishers of the Mohammedans, but has imposed upon us the duty of developing this organization to its fullest possible extent.

If any doubt has ever existed, and I know of none, that the Mohammedans of India would fail in their duty to themselves, the gathering here to-day, the leaders of our people, the men in whom we put our trust and who are writing a memorable page in our history indicates in no uncertain way that the message has gone to the heart of the people, and we have at length awakened to the stern necessity of guarding our interests and advancing our cause. I have said that the first public evidence of our consolidation was given at Dacca, but the initiation of this movement goes a little further back. I know nothing which has been more productive of concrete results for the benefit of ourselves than that great and memorable national deputation which in October 1906, went to Simla and laid before H.E.Lord Minto the Petition embodying our national sentiments and aspirations. It will always be a matter of keen regret to me that circumstances denied me the honour and happiness of proceeding to Simla with the deputation, but I have some slight satisfaction in the fact that my own kith and kin, my son Ebrahim, together with Maulvi Rafi-ud-din Ahmed, represented this part of India.

The splendid courtesy with which that deputation was received by H.E. the Viceroy, inspired the Mommedans throughout India with complete confidence. His speech in reply to our memorial was a statesmanlike utterance and the very words of it are engraven indelibly on our memory. It breathed confidence, and whilst it committed neither His Excellency nor his Government to any particular line of action, we knew that the great interests of Mohammedans would never be lightly set aside or suffer neglect. Concrete evidence of that fact has already been given in the schemes suggested by the Government of India for the the improvement of the representation of the people on the Legislative Council, which regulates the affairs of India.

As I desired to say, the initiation of the League dates from that visit. You know as well as I do that the deputation was headed by His Highness the Aga Khan. That leader of our community is still young in years, but I only speak what we all have in our minds when I say we have hopes of his rendering us still higher services in the future. With him was the lamented late Nawab Mohsin-ul-Mulk, the Honorary Secretary of the deputation, to whom I must refer again. The first practical work was the formation of the plans for the organization of this League. It first met at Dacca in the east and was pronounced a success. It has met again here at Karachi in the west, the greatest city Sindh, the centre of Islam, and as I look round me to-day, I can only express my surprise that a young movement has so quickly found the heart of our people and touched us with one common object, the advancement of our historic people. What the future has in store for the League I dare not prognosticate; but if the same spirit which animates us to-day guides its destinies, it will not be long before our rulers, and Mohammedans the world over, will look to the proceedings of this League for Knowledge of our aspirations and the correct measure of our advancement along the paths we are destined to proceed. I appeal to every Mohammedan in India to realize this important fact, to do all in his power to add to the strength of the league, to understand its aims and objects, and to render it that practical support without which it can do nothing. We have ventured to draw the attention of the whole of India upon us; we have elected to give evidence to our rulers that we are a community imbued with high ambitions, and we have thus imposed upon ourselves a task from which we dare not shrink. We have taken a step forward; to go back would be to drop into oblivion and stamp ourselves as unworthy of the place we demand in the British Empire. I cannot dwell on this aspect of our duty too long or with too much earnestness. What is our first duty to this end? It is to be united in ourselves, to be of one mind and one purpose. We must of all things discard sectional jealousies and personal animosities; two evils which are capable of cankering the heart of the sublimest purpose. We must look to the good of the community as a whole; work shoulder to shoulder as true children of Islam. We are putting in the foundations of a mighty structure. Let us do good work.

My duty to-day, gentlemen, is to direct your energies to the consideration of those highly important subjects on which you will be called upon to express an opinion. They are momentous in all consideration, and whilst I have no intention of impressing upon you any particular views of my own, I ask you to proceed with moderation and with a due recognition of the responsibility placed upon you. It is scarcely necessary for me to say that I have but a poor knowledge of the paths of political controversy. I am no scholar nor a man of many words. My sphere of action in this life has been cast in an entirely different direction. Since the time when nature made it possible for me to turn my hand to toil, I have laboured, and I must admit I still have much affection for the man who uses his energies in that direction But I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not despise those who labour in others fields. There is work for us all. Circumstances have compelled me to direct my energies into the paths of industrialism and no higher duty could be placed upon an individual. I believe in the dignity of labour as the great Prophet did. The history of our people, the history of our heroes and those who have carried the flag of Islam over the world has been one of strenuous and ceaseless effort. What we may have lacked in recent times in purely literary accomplishments, no one can charge the Mohammedan with not doing his fair share of the world’s work. In India he has shown his special aptitude in industrialism, and I believe it is along these lines that he can best extert his influence and carve for himself a high position in Empire. I love to see the development of Mohammedan enterprise, for it is a true measure of the energy and spirit of the people and we can never be without hope so long as we can maintain the reputation we have already earned. The history of the British people has shown that industrialism leads the way and on that foundation they built the great superstructure of the arts. We above all others cannot afford to neglect higher education, for our people must take their part in the responsibilities of Government and the advancement of all such movements as require the energies of trained intelligence. It gave me particular satisfaction two years ago; at the time of the memorable visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and his beloved consort, to show that I was capable appreciating work in another sphere, by in some slight measure, assisting to found the Science School in connection with the Aligarh College.

It will be your duty, gentlemen, to turn your attention to highly important matters arising out of the proposed reforms in connection with the Indian Legislative Councils. I have no wish to impress upon you any ideas of my own, or to anticipate the decisions at which you may ultimately arrive, for myself, I must say that I received the news of the decision of Government, to reply to popular agitation by a considerable expansion of the principle of the Legislative Council, with every satisfaction. And this was enhanced by the fact that the Government has seen its way to recognize our prayer in the memorial addressed to H.E.Lord Minto, and safeguard the interests of the Mohammedans by providing class representation. As you are aware, the proposed reforms provide that there shall be a minimum of four Mohammedan representatives in the Imperial Council. Whether that number is adequate or not will be for you to say, but we must be grateful to the Viceroy and the Government of India for the recognition of those claims we specifically set out in our memorial. It indicates that the Government is prepared to listen to the popular voice, and if this attitude is carried still further and influences the Government in its nomination of suitable men to represent us we shall have little to complain of. We must as far as possible preclude the monopolization of these appointments by those who have only personal ends to serve and encourage and stimulate our rising young men to exert their talents and energies for the good of their community. In the provincial councils, the same provisions for Mohammedan representation are made and if we can only infuse into provincial governments the spirit which has animated the Government of India and the Secretary of State in dealing with our just and moderate claims, our labours will be considerably lightened. It is necessary for us to remember the wisdom expressed by Lord Minto to the deputation which waited on him at Simla. He said, “I agree with you gentlemen, that the initial rungs in the ladder of self-government are to be found in the municipal and district boards, and that it is in that direction that we must look for gradual political education of the people.” I am in full accord with those words and it is in this direction that our real labour must commence. When we learn to control our parochial surroundings we can lay claim to adding our influence to imperial policy.

Another point in the memorial was the matter of the adequate employment of Mohammedans in the higher branches of the public service. We were told in the past that we lacked competence. That reproach can no longer be fairly brought against us in these days. We have in our midst educated Mohammedans who have fitted themselves for all responsible positions in the administration, and certainly our traditions show that we have always been faithful to any administrative trust reposed in us. It will be part of your duties, gentlemen, to discuss this matter, and I trust you will be able to add such weight to your words that the Government will adequately respond to your legitimate claims.

Our loyalty to the Government has never yet been impeached, and I trust in never will. But when a vast community sets itself to work to bring about its regeneration its methods must be precise and open to no misconstruction. We recognize the difficulties of the Government in adjusting conflicting claims, but we must be as fear less as we are honest in our criticisms, whoever and whatever they may affect. So far as I know, the Government of India is the last to complain of criticism so long as it is fair, moderate and upright.

As you know the third object of our League is to prevent as far as possible, the rise of hostile feelings between the different communities in India. With that object I am in complete sympathy, for it passes my understanding why the Mohammedans should in the advancement of their own interests injure those of any other people. We contribute to the common good by improving our own surroundings. It is no part of the purpose of this League to oppose the progress of other communities or to be aggressive towards them in any direction whatever. We respect all who work for the common good of the country.

I mentioned in opening my address the name of the late Nawab Mohsin-ul-Mulk. His death as such a time was a great blow to our community. Never were his services more needed than at the present time. He worked strenuously for the success of the deputation to Simla and it is some slight satisfaction to know that he saw at least the first fruits of his labours. His work was universally approved, for he had but one single object, and that the steady progress of his people. We have need of many such patriots and I cannot do better than ask our young men to study his life and works and let them be an example to follow.

The late Nawab has been succeeded as Secretary of the Aligarh College by Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk Bahadur. The wisdom of that appointment is fully indicated in the fact that it was unanimous. I know of no one more capable of wearing the mantle of the late Secretary than his present successor. His past labours have all been for the good of his people and Mohammedans may congratulate them selves that the Nawab has consented to take up the work at Aligarh.

I have but lightly touched upon those subjects with which you wil be called upon to deal. I can offer you but small guidance in your deliberations, but my heart and soul is with you, and I pray with all the earnestness of an old man that God will direct your energies and lead you into the paths of righteousness and wisdom.

On the conclusion of the address, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk thanked Sir Adamjee on behalf of the whole Mohammedan community of India for accepting the invitation to preside at the conference.

Mr.Ali Imran, in an eloquent speech, moved a vote of thanks to the President. He appealed to his co-religionists not be neglect their political interests, and not ignore the efforts of Government who were ready to meet them halfway. Once the Mohammedans made common cause, and other communities would find that the Mohammedans were able to unite, they would respect them and co-operate with them.

Haji Mussa Khan seconded the resolution which was carried by acclamation. There cheers were then called for Sir Adamjee by Moulvi Rafi-ud-din and were heartily given. The Session adjourned till the next days.

It was resolved to form a committee to prepare the draft of rules and regulations of the All-India Muslim League. It included those members who were elected in accordance with Resolution No.2 of the Dacca proceedings of December 30, 1906, to form a committee to prepare the draft of rules and regulations of the League, and who were also present at the Karachi Session. It included those members who had formed part of the Simla Deputation, but could not be elected members of the committee in pursuance of Resolution No.2, due to their absence from the Dacca Session, being in Government service or due to any other cause. It was unanimously resolved that other persons who had come from distant places and were specially interested in this work, should be deemed delegates of their provinces. In addition to these three more members were unanimously co-opted, raising the total strength of the Committee to 26. It was further decided that the election of office-bearers should take place in March 1908 in a meeting of the All-India Muslim League at Aligarh.

The Session also considered the question of affiliation of the Provincial Branch in the Punjab, where two Leagues were established. One was formed by Mian Fazl-i-Hussain in February 1906, the other by Main Shafi on December 4, 1907. Besides Main Shafi and Mian Fazl-I-Hussain, Raja Ghulam Hussain, Mr. Mohamed Ali and Mr. (later Sir) Ali Imam participated in the discussion. Eventually Mian Fazl-i-Hussain withdrew his claim, and it was decided to merge the two bodies into one with Mian (later Justice) Shah Din as President, Mian Shafi, General Secretary, and Mian Fazl-i-Hussain as Joint Secretary.

(Pakistan Resolution)

    Mr. G.M.Sayed: Yes, I want to move the second resolution.

   Mr. Dialmal Doulatram: Sir, private members resolutions were fixed   5th of March and they are being taken up to-day. I therefore request to know whether Government have agreed to that business being taken up to-day.

    The Honourable The Speaker: The Honourable the Leader of the House, if I remember a right, announced day before yesterday that this day has been allotted to non-official resolutions.

      The Honourable Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah: Yes, Sir.

 Mr. G.M. SAYED: Sir, I rise to move the following resolution:-

         “ This House recommends to Government to convey to His Majesty’s Government through His Excellency the Viceroy, the sentiments and wishes of the Muslims of this Province that where as Muslims of India are a separate nation possessing religion, philosophy, social customs, literature, traditions, political and economic theories of their own, quite different from those of the Hindus, they are justly entitled to the right, as a single separate natier, to have independent national states of their own, carved out in the zones where they are in majority in the sub continent of India.

          “Wherefore they emphatically delcare that no constitution shall be acceptable to them that will place the Muslims under a Central Government dominated by another nation, as in order to be able to play their part freely on their own distinct lines in the order of things to come it is necessary for them to have independent National States of their own and hence any attempt to subject the Muslims of India under one Central Government is bound to result in Civil War with grave unhappy consequences.”

     

     THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: The resolution moved is:-

      “ This House recommends to Government to convey to His Majesty’s Government through His Excellency the Viceroy the sentiments and wishes of the Muslims of this Province that where as Muslims of India are a separate nation possessing religion, philosophy, social customs, literature, traditions political and economic theories of their own quite different from those of the Hindu, they are justly entitled to the right, as a single, separate nation, to have independent National States of their own, carved out in the zones where they are in majority in the sub-continent of India.

     “Wherefore they emphatically delcare that no constitution shall be acceptable to them that will place the Muslims under a Central Government dominated by another Nation, as in order to be able to play their freely on their own distinct lines in the order of things to come it is necessary for them to have independent National States of their own hence any attempt to subject the Muslims of India under one Central Government is bound to result in Civil War with prave unhappy consequences.”   

       Mr.NIHCHALADASC VASIRANI SIR, I rise to a point of order. I submit that in the first place under 91 sub-paras (a) and (d) this resolution is not admissible. I will read out the rule:-

       “Subject to the restrictions contained in the rules, a member may move a resolution relating to a matter of general public interest.

         Provided that no resolution shall be admissible which does not comply with the following conditions, namely:-

(a)  it shall be clearly and precisely expressed and shall raise one definite issue:”

(b) and (c) are not relevant. I will read (d).

(d) it shall not relate to a matter which is not primarily the concern of the Provincial Government.”

   Sir, I will first deal with sub-para (d). With due respect, I submit that this point admits of absolutely no controversy or doubt. Let us read the resolution itself.

   The resolution says:-

         “This House recommends to Government to convey to “His Majesty’s Government through His Excellency the Viceroy the sentiments and wishes of the Muslims of this province that where as.”

Now comes the operative part:-

       “Muslims of India are a separate nation possessing religion, philosophy, social customs, literature, traditions, political and economic theories of their own, quite different from those of the Hindus, they (Muslims of India) are justly entitled to the right, as a single, separate nation, to have independent National States of their own, carved out in the zones where they are in the majority in the sub-continent of India.

          Wherefore they emphatically declare that no constitution shall be acceptable to them (Mussalmans of India) that will place the Muslims under a Central Government (not a Provincial Government) dominated by another nation, as in order to be able to play their part freely on their own distinct lines in the order of things to come it is necessary for them to have independent national states of their own and hence any attempt to subject the Muslims of India under one Central Government is bound to result in Civil War with grave, unhappy consequences.”

   So, Sir, as I said before under part (a) of the rule there should be only one definite issue in the resolution. Either this resolution contains one definite issue, or it is a jumble of issues. If it is going to be held that it contains only one definite issue then that one definite issue must be the last one, viz that the Muslims of India should not be compelled to be under one Central Government and if so compelled, it is bound to lead to Civil war with grave and unhappy consequences. It however it is held that there are a number of issues, and then on reading part (a) of the rule, it will be inadmissible under that rule. Therefore if is taken to mean that there is only one issue, viz: that the Muslims of India should not be compelled to remain under one Central Government than I submit Sir, if you read sub-paragraph (d) of rule (91) which as I have pointed out is mandatory-and it says “provided that no resolution shall be admissible” the resolution will not be permissible. In fact this is not a case of ordinary discretion on the part of the Honourable the Speaker. He is bound to carry out the rule as it is made. The rule may be good, or it may be bad. But the rule as it stands today before this House has to be interpreted by the Honourable the Speaker according to the reasonable interpretation that can be placed on it. The rule is mandatory and is clear enough. By no stretch of imagination can these words “it shall not relate to a matter which is not the primary concern of the Provincial Government,” be interpreted differently. The resolution is very explicit, and it talks of a Central Government. It does not talk of the Provincial Government and that is the issue in the case, viz; that the Muslims of India should be compelled to remain under one Central Government because they have different religion, different traditions and so on. Therefore, I submit Sir, it cannot be said to be the concern of the Provincial Government. Even if it be said by some indirect method, by some sort of argument, “Oh, yes, it also relates to the Provincial Government. Oh, yes our province is one of the provinces to be affected,” Directly or indirectly, by no stretch of imagination can it be said to be a question which is primarily the concern of the Provincial Government. The point at issue is whether the issue is the primary concern of the Provincial Government. The wordings being so express, I do not think the mandatory provisions of rule 91 (d) can be violated. I have made my point quite clear and it calls for no further argument from me. To allow such a resolution as this before the Provincial Legislature, which is not only the primary concern of the Provincial Government, but is definitely and expressly shown to be the only concern of the Central Government, will be clearly out of order.

      If it is interpreted as containing one issue only, there are other points in it which will come up viz: whether they are different nations, or whether they have different culture and so on. It also raises the question whether there should be separate provinces, or a separate Pakistan and so on. Then, Sir, not only will the objection under rule 91(d) apply, but the objection under rule 91(a) also will apply. Therefore, I think Sir, the stand that may be taken by the mover of the resolution will be that it raises only one definite issue and that definite issue, as I have submitted, is expressed in the concluding part of the resolution, viz: that the Muslims of India should not be compelled to remain under one Central Government, because they have different religion, different traditions and so on.

          My point number two is this. You know it for a fact Sir, that this is a contentious resolution, about which undoubtedly there is difference of opinion, not only in the whole of India…….

           The Honourable HAJI M.H.GAZDAR:…I rise on a point of order, Sir; The Honourable Member is raising a debate on the merits of the resolution. He cannot discuss the merits of the resolution at this stage.

       Mr. NIHCHALDAS C. VAZIRANI: I am not discussing the merits. My Honourabe friend should have patience. It is a contentious resolution, and therefore I submit Sir…..

        The Honourable HAJI M.H.GAZDAR:…and therefore it cannot to legal? Is that a point of order?

     Mr.NIHCHALDAS C.VAZIRANI: There, I submit, Sir, at this time, when the other community, viz: the Hindu community has 5 oper cent, of its representatives in prison as security prisoners it is not fair to bring forward this resolution. No doubt, day before yesterday notice was given that it will be ante-dated. As a matter of fact the resolution had been fixed for the 5th.

  Mr.G.M.Sayed: That is not a point of order, Sir.

  Mr. NICHALDAS C. VAZORANI: Let me conclude. Certain Members of the Muslim community, who would have opposed this resolution being nationally minded, are also absent today. There are thus two considerations. Firstly whether it is right and proper to bring forward such a resolution at this stage and whether it is not for the Honourable the Speaker to exercise his own discretion and not allow such a resolution to come forward, since it will amount to taking undue advantage of the present position of the minority communities. Such a precedent has taken place in the Assam Provincial Legislature, where the Honourable Speaker was bold enough to tell the Government party that if any contentious bills were brought before the House when the minority community was not represented in the House he shall have to exercise his powers and adjourn the House, That is a point for you to consider, Sir That is a matter, how ever, of discretion but first part is according to me mandatory.

         The Honourable Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah: Sir, I have heard my Honourable friend on the opposite side with great interest. His first complaint was that the Opposition did not get sufficient notice that this resolution would be taken up today. It is only 3 days back, Sir, that I informed this Honourable House that resolution would be taken up on the third and not on the fifth, because most of the Honourable Members were anxious to return home for the holidays.

     Now, Sir, I come to the objection that the resolution contains several issues. But the resolution really contains viz: that the Muslims do not want to be under one central Government. The question that then arises is if you do not want to be under one central Government, what then do you want? Therefore they say that they want to be a separate unit. This merely explanatory. Naturally when I say I do not want something the next question is what do I want then? Therefore the resolution goes on to say that they do not want to not to be under one Central Government but to have independent states or units whatever you may call them.

       Now Sir, my friend knew that it contained only one definite issue. But as he wanted to oppose this resolution be says if they wanted independent units that would mean two issues. May I tell him that if they say what they do not want they must also say what they do wart. That is my reply to the objection. Mussalmans do not want to be under one Central Government, but want to be independent units.

          Then my Honourable friend talked of the minority not being here and the Congressmen not being here. I do not think there was much love lost between him and the congress for whom he is feeling so sorry. Then as regards national minded Muslims, I do not think there are many. I find only one but I am do btful about him also.

          SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: We are only nationalist Mussalmans.

     The Honourable Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah: The next objection is that a resolution can only refer to a matter which is the primary concern of the Provincial Government. I agree with him there. This matter does not primarily concern the Provincial Government. But in this Honourable House, Sir, you have very kindly admitted resolution about independence, and several other matters for example, the resolution of Miss Jethibai. It was because the House was a ware that these resolutions were merely in the nature of recommendations and that the proceedings would be sent to the Central Government or other proper authority my friend cannot blow hot and cold at the same time. When my Hindu friends and the Congress wanted to discuses the above resolutions my friend did not object. But when another community brings a similar resolution he stands up to oppose. Sir I might point out that many resolutions not concerning the Provincial Government have been moved and debated here and copies of the proceedings have been forwarded to the proper authority. Therefore, Sir, I do not think he is on sound ground when he opposes this resolution.

     Mr.G.M.Sayed: Honourable the Premier has replied to the points raised by my Honourable friend Mr. Nihchaldas Honourable Member Mr. Nihchaldas is an advocate. But I am sorry here he has not advocated for justice but only for a one sided point. He raised the point that the matter in the resolution should be the primary concern of the Provincial Government. Our Leader has shown clearly that there have been previous instances when such resolutions have been discussed and my Honourable friend did not raise any objection. I want to point out that Muslims of the Province form the part of the Provincial Government. Are we not here to represent the Mussalmans of the Province? Government is ours. We must voice our feelings. Is this not the primary concern of the Provincial Government? I will point out another instance recently the Bengal Assembly have passed the resolution for the unconditional release of Mahatma Gandhi. So recent a resolution I do not know why he should forget. It seems he has purposely to gotten it.

   MR.DIALMALDOULATRAM: was any objection raised?

  Mr.G.M.SAYED: He has also pointed out that it does not clearly raise one issue.Honourable the Premier has already pointed out that it is a definite issue. So I need not repeat the arguments Honourable Mr.Nihchaldas appealed to you, Sir, that as Hindu members are outside the house so this is not the proper occasion when you should allow this resolution to be moved. Sir, here in the resolution it is said the sentiments and wishes of the Muslims of the Province of Sind may be conveyed to His Majesty’s Government. Therefore Hindu members have nothing to do with it I request that you should rule the point out of order.

       The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: I want to say only two words. The Honourable the Premier has said what has been the practice in the past when similar resolution have been allowed or permitted. That may be the case during the past. But here we are to restrict such things and put limitations on things. You will realise that as the resolution stands now, it does not raise one issue, according to me. The Honourable the Premier suggested that if Mussalmans of the Province do not want his then they must suggest alternatives. If they suggest alternatives, it is all right. But you will see in the end that it is also said that it will lead to civil war. You will, Sir, realise that it is after all a Muslim League Ministry with Hindus in coalition. If there were certain threats, I think, it was the duty of the Honourable the Premier to have raised some objection to that.

       It does not lead to one issue, There are at just four issues,

The Honourable Member Mr.Sayed suggests that Mussalmans are as a whole one nation and that there should be separate states for them. They do not want to be under one Central Government. If that is not acceded to, there will be civil war. We have at present provincial autonomy under the Government of India Act which only provides that there will be one Central Government. We have, so far as we are concerned separate provincial autonomy and we have to be guided by the Act of 1935. I therefore personally feel that there is more than one point involved in this resolution. Rule 91 is very definite and you have to give your ruling on that.

SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: Sir, the point you have to decide is whether the resolution in the first place raises more than one definite issue. In my humble opinion if you read the resolution from beginning to end you will find that it raises one clear definite issue and that issue is the position of the Mussalmans of India in the future constitution of the country. I may draw your attention to the words “wherefore they emphatically declare” i.e., Sind Muslims emphatically declare that no constitution shall be acceptable to them that will place the Muslims under a Central Government dominated by another Nation.

      So, the resolution raises one definite issue and that issue is as to what the Mussalmans of Sind think about the position of the Mussalmans of India in the future constitution of the country. I do not understand the Honourable Minister, Public Works Department, or the Honourable Member Mr.Nihchaldas by what stretch of imagination they can convert this one issue into a number of issues. The only issue raised is what the position of the Indian Mussalmans is going to be in the future constitution of the country. The Central Government or the Provincial Government and all these are a part of that one definite issue. So Sir, I submit that on that ground there is no point in the point of order raised by the Honourable Member Mr.Vazirani.

       Then the second point which he dealt with at some length is about the fact whether it is the primary concern of the Provincial Government. Now that does not need any further argument from me because there are so many precedents.

KHAN BAHADUR A.K.GABOL: He has forgotton all about it.

 SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: I may, however, inform my Honourable friend Rai Sahib Gokaldas that I propose to move some amendments to this resolution in places, for example, like the safeguards for minorities and the words such as civil war, etc. I wanted to see you Sir, personally in that connection but unfortunately you came very late and therefore I handed over my amendments to your Secretary and after the Honourable the Mover of the resolution has spoken on this subject, I shall place my amendments before you. So, my Honourable friends who oppose this resolution need have no fear anywhere here or in any part of India. But in the light of the rules, specially rule 91(a) of the Assembly Rules which has rather been advanced as an argument for not admitting this resolution that rule, I submit is in favour or admitting the resolution. This resolution raises one issue of paramount importance so far as Mussalmans of Sind as well as the Mussalmans of India are concerned and so far as their future generations concerned. That is the main issue and there is no other issue embodied in the resolution that has been moved by Honourable Member Mr.Sayed.

   Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: Sir, will you kindly permit me to reply to what the Honourable Member Shaikh Abdul Majid has said?

        THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: NO.

Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: That is all. I only wanted to seek your permission.

SPEAKER’S RULING.

The Honourable The Speaker: We have already wasted nearly three quarters of an hour and I think we should be mindful about the precious time of the House. The point is simple and possibly I have decided many similar points in the past…….

         Mr.DIALMAL DOULATRAM: Not when the objections were raised as is the case here.

The Honourable The Speaker: The point is if there are inherent defects that are to be cured at one time or the other, they should be brought forward and I am really thankful to the Honourable Member Mr.Nihchaldas who has brought these points to my notice which I have carefully noted. We must once and for all make a decision as to what course we are going to adopt in this House for the future.

     Now the Honourable Member Mr.Nihchaldas has raised objection to the admissibility of this resolution on three grounds­­­­­­___of course two legal and the third moral.

        Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: They pertain to legality and propriety.

 The Honourable The Speaker: Now, the Honourable Member has quoted rule 91(a) of the Sind Legislative Assembly Rules under which he emphasised the mandatory nature of the rule. He laid particular emphasis on the following wordings of that rule____

               “that the resolution shall raise one definite issue.”

Now, I have to decide whether or not this resolution raises one definite issue. I am really thankful to my Honourable friend Mr.Nihchaldas who has already supplied me with an argument and an answer. (Laughter). Possibly yes because he himself definitely put it to me that the definite issue is that the Musslamans of India do not wish to remain under one Central Government. Because he has a legal brain he has made everything very perceptible though to a layman it may not appeal. I feel no hesitation in admitting that he is a very keen and shrewd lawyer if you could but perceive the underlying issue raised by him to this resolution. But unfortunately, if depends upon the capacity of the framer of the resolution. Therefore, I think that the definite issue underlying this resolution is that he Mussalmans of India do not wish to live under one Central Government. That is all. That is the only definite issue. The other point raised by the Honourable Minister in charge of Public Works Department was “Then what about the argument that there should be separate independent states etc? This is a mere consequence of that issue. You cannot make a resolution so inflexible that it will not admit of any corollary or explanation: because supposing he had merely moved that Mussalmans of India do not wish to remain under one Central Government. Then he must give certain indication as to why, what for and what will be the consequence of such an implication___not of course departing from raising one single issue in the resolution. The Honourable Member has got that experience and every one of us has got this experience. So I think the argument is not sustainable on that ground. Then particularly my friend Mr.Nihchaldas was more emphatic about part (d) of rule 91 and he has emphasised that the matter contained in this resolution does not raise an issue which could be said to be the primary concern of the Provincial Government. I was listening with very great interest whether there was any force in that argument advanced by him.

    Now, if we have really to do something and be progressive and build traditions of a Parliamentary House then we have to be liberal in our thoughts in our actions in our legislation and interpretations.

  Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: Ahmed the rules.

 The Honourable The Speaker: I may that the rules could not be interpreted in a way as to hinder the progress of parliamentary constitution. Constitutions grow, traditions grow. I can quote instances from the great constitutions of the world in cluding the constitution and the history of the House of Commons how constitutions grow. They cannot be iron cages or water tight-compartments which have got no room to move or grow. As a matter of fact in the Government of India Act that constitution is envisaged which contains a germ of self-evolution. It will be flexible and grow from time to time and it is therefore that the Presidents and the Speakers of various Legislatures India have been permitting resolutions and motions concerning the future constitution of India. Constitution making is the burning question of the day and we have not yet arrived at a goal. We are yet marching forward putting forth our view points from various parts of the country and various sections and classes that inhabit this great sub-continent. It was therefore that my predecessor permitted a similar resolution moved by Miss Jethi Sipahimalani, the Deputy Speaker of this House on the 3rd August 1937.

    Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: This rule was made after wards.

    The Honourable The Speaker: My Honourable friend who is a great lawyer did not seem to have raised any objection that time.

Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: I had no objection as it was the common consent of the House__ the entire House.

The Honourable The Speaker: But I do not know whether several Honourable Members of this House oppose this resolution. However let me proceed to deal with the argument he has advanced.

    True, the resolution does not refer to Provincial Government or acts of Provincial Government; never the less Provincial Government is the result of the Act of 1935. In a constitutional process Provincial Government is intern wined with the Central Government although unfortunately on account of circumstances beyond our central a Central Government contemplated under the Government of India Act of 1935 has not yet come into being. At a future date there is going to be a federal Government and along with that there will be Provincial Government like the one we are running in Sind. We are one homogeneous whole and the Provinces are units that go to compose the Central Government, whether today or tomorrow. We are the representatives of the people and the representatives of the people have elected the Provincial Government which is autonomous. The Ministers are our representatives. We can throw them out or we can bring them in tomorrow. So it is by the desire of the people at their representatives occupy the benches here. Therefore it cannot be said that this matter could not be the concern of the Provincial Government. If there is nay move which is going to affect the constitution of Provincial Government does it mean that this Provincial Government should have no voice or say in the matter? What are we here for? Supposing tomorrow a constitution is going to be imposed upon us taking away various subjects and places them under the Central Government; will the representatives of the people of Sind agree to that? Surely not. We have been urging that even residuary powers should be vested in Provincial Governments and that the Central Government should have only certain definite matters and subjects to administer. That being so, a Provincial Government has always got a voice in the constitution of the country and in the settlement of certain rights as between the Central Government and the Provincial Governments. So far as the making of a constitution is concerned, it is the fundamental concern of the Provincial Government. Therefore I think the Honourable Member’s argument has not convinced me to the extent to which I should be prepared to rule out the resolution under rule 91(d) of the Assembly Rules, and I hold that it is certainly the concern of the Provincial Government so far as any proposal concerning the making of the constitution is concerned.

       Then, the Honourable Member has appealed to me on moral grounds. I listened with great interest and great relief when my Honourable friend Mr.G.M.Sayed said that his resolution was intended to convey the views and sentiments of only the Mussalmans of Sind, and not of the entire population of Sind. This point did not come to my mind until he raised the issue. I think it is only the wish of the Mussalmans of Sind which is going to be conveyed to the Central Government by this resolution. The Honourable Member Mr.Nihchaldas may give his vote as he likes—I know he will vote against the resolution, Here I am only a channel to convey the wishes and desires of the Mussalmans of Sind. If the Mussalmans of Sind vote for it, then he should not grudge it. If the resolution had been so framed as to give the idea that the wishes and sentiments of the entire people of Sind were to be conveyed to the Central Government, then there would be some force in the objection. That is not so. Therefore both on legal and moral grounds I rule the point out of order. (Ministerial cheers.)

WALK-OUT BY HINDU MEMBERS.

Mr.NIHCHADAS C. VAZIRANI: Sir, with due respect, in view of the ruling of the Chair that the Hindus have no interest in the resolution and that it is only the wishes and sentiments of the Musslamans of Sind that are to be conveyed through it, we the Hindus sitting on these benches leave the House.

       (At this stage the Hindu Members_Messrs, Nihchaldas C.Vazirani, Dialmal Doulatram, Ghanumal Tarachand, Partabral Khaisukhdas, Akhji Ratansing Sodho, Mukhi Gobindram and Rao Bahadur Hotchand Hiranand--- walked out of the Assembly Hall.)

    Mr.G.M.SAYED: Sir, in view of the importance of the resolution, I have noted down certain points with a view that there should be no misrepresentation, as I have generally found that on such occasions the outside public misrepresent the case placed by be Honourable Members in the Assembly, and then it is very difficult to go on replying to each and every person in the press and outside.

 The Honourable The Speaker: The Honourable Member can refer to his notes.

        Mr.G.M.SAYED: Sir, in moving this resolution I am doing my duty as a representative of the Mussalmans of this Province to reiterate from the floor of this Honourable House their demand in common with the Mussalmans of India numbering no less than a hundred million of which the Sind Muslims form a part the demand that has come to be known as Pakistan. It describes in a nutshell the inalienable right of the Muslim Nation for self-determination and seeks to safeguard their fundamental rights under the new order of things to come.

      The world is on the threshold of a new era which promises equal opportunities equal rights to every nation in the world and the long cherished dream of independent India is about to be realised—a dream for the early and full realisation whereof all Indians Muslims and Hinds have sincerely worked suffered and sacrificed.

     Let me assure you, Sir, that the Muslim Nation of India who until the advent of the British rule had for full eight centuries been the ruling power is by tradition, by its psychological make-up and by its character the champion of the cause of India freedom and it has ever eagerly aspired for the achievement of this freedom with a burning zeal by no means less than the Hindus or any other nation of India.

    The demand for Pakistan is based on the theory that Muslims are a separate nation as distinct from Hindus and that what is known as India is and was never one geographical unit.

    I shall first deal with the geographical aspect of the question.

Great deal is being made of geographical position. To start with calling India a country is a misnomer. England apart, Europe could be called a country from that point of view with much more justification. Yet Europe is a conglomeration of different nations who have not yet reached the stage of federation.

    Taking in view the geographical position of this Province and Gujrat between which a whole desert intervenes that could not be traversed within 24 hours and position of France and Germany whose borders are coterminous and could be crossed over in 5 minutes, it becomes obvious how little those people understand who speak of the geographical position of India as a national unit.

   India in fact is not a country at all but in every sense as good a continent as Europe, Africa or North and South America. The United States could easily argue that Mexico and Canada should by natural division be included in it. Brazil, Peru and Chile have no reason to be apart. Canadians and people of United States are not only the same people but speak the same language, have the same religion, dress in the same way, have the social customs enjoy the literature, and inter-marry; in short, everything is common between them and they both are geographically one unit yet Canada retains its integral national entity.

      Likewise South American States which are parts of one geographical unit are inhabited by more or less one people of Spanish extraction, speaking almost the same language, dress in the same way, inter-marry and have very little to distinguish them one from the other, and yet they are evolving along their own lines, getting more and more defined in separation and there is no sign or talk of amalgamation or federation amongst them.

       There is no excuse for Siberia and china being separate either why should Siberia connect itself with the people living on the side of the Urals when they could be the natural part of china, ethnologically and otherwise?

       So far the geographical argument does not carry us an inch further as far as nation forming is concerned. Let us now consider it from the meaning of the word ‘National’ itself. Nation arises from the root ‘Natus’ meaning born, originally pointing to the race connexion.It has been proved without doubt that Germanic and Keltic peoples belong to the same race, that France of Charlemagne included them both. We have already observed that geographically France and Germany should be one. We have found that racially they are the same people; linguistically they belong to the same stock called indo-Germanic or Indo-European. Could a democracy be formed by combining these two peoples? Will France submit to it or will the Germans?

      I would not like you to lose sight of the fact that French literature was read and appreciated by Germans for 2 centuries and that it considerably conduced to the creation of their own literature. Also they are peoples that have been freely inter-marrying and there is very little in their social habits and ways of thought that could be called different. Nay, as French literature formed a national reading at one time in Germany, so German philosophy has been taught in French Universities for a century and yet again we ask, could they be governed by a democratical Government if they were thrown into a combination? The natural consequences will be swamping of 30 million French by 80 million Germans and France in a short time will begin to lose its individuality. Some people might consider this illustration of these two rival peoples as not sufficiently convincing. But they can be easily reminded of Holland and Belgium or Sweden and Norway. One glance at European history will show that national and democratic order did not make even in Europe for combinations and amalgamations but separation and individuation. It was not a pell mell union; it was not a spatial guxtaposition but an organic unity at all points that was a basic condition of national and democratic Government. The utmost they have arrived at within themselves after a hundred years of national conception is not even socialistic Government---leave alone organic. The laws that nature has set on man and along which he alone can progress can neither be hurried nor set at naught without destructive consequences. A man who aims at a fruit becoming yellow before it has matured to full size or aims at sweetness before it has become completely sour, is destroying the life of the fruit and will never achieve his purpose. Tension, however unpalatable, is a necessary condition of progress at a certain stage of evolution and can be avoided only at the peril of stagnation and death.

        After this general survey of more or less homogeneous and geographically, socially, economically, religiously, politically one people and yet impossible either to unite or be governed as one national unit, let us revert to Indian conditions. I have already pointed out the impossibility of considering 2 provinces in India, say, like Sind and Gujrat, not to speak of Bengal, Central Provinces, Madras etc. as one geographical unit. How do they stand linguistically? One cannot possibly understand the other. But if we consider them religiously one community refuses to have any social connection with the other. A Gujrati Brahmin not only dresses absolutely different to a Muslim, but would throw his food away as polluted it a Mussalman passed by and his shadow fell over his food. Question of inter-marriage between them does not arise. Entire social separation which they can peacefully exist all side by side. Slightest approach to any further intercourse would cause pitched battles between the members of the communities as witness the record of communal riots that have broken out from time to time all over the country.

        Naturally one would ask, what is the cause of that fundamental difference? That is not far to seek. In earlier tomes that which we call ideology today went under the name of religion. Entire society was built on and by that conception. Those communities like the Europeans that were more progressive and could assimilate and adapt to newer notions (brought about by the necessary law of evolution) could get over the fundamental differences quicker. The conservative communities on the other hand persisted in etaining their ancient institutions defying the law of the revolution and taking pride in non-surrender to change, remaining strictly apart and despising assimilation and adaptation. The proof of that Hindu conservation in India is furnished by the fact that Buddhism that was a natural evolutionary advance on Brahminism was successfully beaten out of India by the Brahminism and had to seek home on the Indian Frontiers viz: Ceylon, Burma, China, Tibet, etc. The Brahmins insist upto today that Gautama was a demon who came to destroy. In the strictest sense Brahminism was and must remain by the very nature of it a non-missionary religion. A Brahmin is born and not made. I might know all the “srutis” and “smritis” by heart and be an Aryan in the bargain, but can I become a Brahmin or even a Kshatriya? No only a Sudra and that also by grace and not by right. When a constitution of any race or community is so adamant there is no place for even a mechanical mixture, leaving alone an organic unity, without which a truly democratic national state cannot exist.

      Now let us examine the two big nations or communities as you may call them namely Hindus and Muslims in India and see whether they can possibly form one nation. They differ from each other in every aspect of life. Their social customs are separate and different. Their literatures and even economical conception differ from each other.

       While Muslim philosophy of life accepts man as a free agent untrammeled by limitations and handicaps in his march on the path of evolution the Hindu philosophy is based on the theory of “Karma” making man’s life dependent upon and restricted by the supposed actions of previous life. The Muslims believe in equality and brotherhood of man, while Hindus take the diversity of the human beings as an article of their faith upon which is built their “caste system”, so much so that their greatest book the Bhagvad Gita lays it down that when the castes are confounded then will the “Dharma” be lost!

       Apart from the religious and philosophical differences there are social barriers which in spite of their thousand years’ stay together the two nations have continued to retain. There is not only no inter marriage interdining and intercourse possible, but they keep scrupulously apart, even the shadow of a Muslim across the Brahmin’s path or food being supposed to pollute the Brahmin’s sacred person and wholesome food.

      Similarly in the matter of their food, what is allowed to one is forbidden to the other so that the difference is not only one of a class but a material solid fact which is felt and lived every moment in the day-to-day life of the two communities.

          Thus so long as Hindus remain as Hindus there can be no possible basis of one nationality which according to the most authoritative sources implies a sense of kinship which is impossible and unpermissible under the Hindu philosophy. Renan, a great authority on the subject say’s “Nationality is a subjective psychological feeling. It is a feeling of corporate sentiment of oneness which makes those that are charged with it feel that they are kith and kin. This feeling is a double edged feeling. It is at one a feeling of follow ship for those who are not one’s own kith and kin. It is a longing to belong to one’s own group and a longing not to belong to any other group.

      It has been sometimes said that what really matters to the masses is the problem of bread and that as soon as the economic problem is solved the communal---we would maintain the national__differences will vanish. But such a hope only self-delusion.

   The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: Sir, I rise to a point of order. My Honourable friend Mr.Ghulam Murtaza Shah is going into the merits of religion. I do not think he is relevant in this connection. He is attacking the Hindu religion pointing out the defects of the Hindu religion.

The Honourable The Speaker: He should avoid that.

Mr.G.M.SAYED: How can I avoid it? I want to show how we differ. I must show the differences between the two societies. The ideologies of each other are different. I must quote how they are different. I am attacking no religion. I am not saying anything against them. I do not think anybody on earth will deny what I am saying. I am not doing injustice to other religions. I have great regard for other religions. I am only showing different ideologies.

The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: He has been going into the merits of religions.

The Honourable The Speaker: Honourable Member should not compare the religions. He can compare social customs and economic theories.

Mr.G.M.SAYED: Sir, I was explaining the economic position and pointing out that Hindu philosophy has no room for labour: it is looked down upon by it. Money is worshipped as a deity and gambling including speculation, the bane of modern economy and usury which enable one to lead a luxurious life without having to labour for it, are not only permitted, but form part of Hindu ritual. Islam on the other hand not only acknowledges but actually sanctifies manual labour forbids easy money-making such as usury.

The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: What are Pathans?

Mr.G.M.SAYED: They are not acting according to Islamic conceptions. Islam encourages division and fragmentation of property aiming at the ultimate destruction of all artificial class distinctions based on accidental differences of colour and race or wealth and property. Most of the greatest saints and scholars of Islam have been mechanics and tradesmen of all sorts­­__washermen, carpenters, cotton thrashers, weavers, yet they are all amongst the most respected scholars, honourable men in Islam. I may as well quote: (Here read some Arabic couplet). Labourer is a friend of God. Labour is the most accepted thing by God. That is how I am pointing out different ideologies.

The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: Outside Sind most of the labour is Hindu (Laughter).

Mr.G.M.SAYED: Thus if the ultimate object in the freedom of a democratic unit is the free un-restricted growth of a nation on its own individualistic lines based on its culture, philosophy and traditions not to speak of other accidental factors such as climatic, geographical linguistic and racial characteristics, then Muslims and Hindus can never expect to attain that common growth as the growth of one precludes that of the other the very basis of such growth being opposed one to the other. It is idle to expect that when the here of one community is the tyrant of the other when a historic victory of one is the shameful defeat of the other that in a united India where the Hindus will by the strength of their numbers always command the lion share in the Government of the country, Muslims will have any the slightest chance of attainment of their ideals.

      I must further point out that democracy means rule of people. But there people must be homogeneous and not heterogeneous. There cannot be any Government unless it has got some common ideals before it, which are acceptable to all the people of the land. Now let us see whether a common ideal in a United India can ever be possible. It is quite clear that their ideals being different, Hindus and Muslims cannot run smoothly in the same direction with the result that there will not be democracy but there will be a rule of tyrant majority. Today we blame Hitler and other tyrant states for forcing their wills upon others and coerce the people to act against their free wills. What would be the differences between them and the people of India if unity was forced upon them? If 300 million people force 100 million people to be subordinate to them and follow the ideals of the 300 million people quite contrary to the wishes and sentiments of the minority what will be the result of such rule?

   The two major communities are rivals for political power and rivalry between them is bound to continue so long as one is not completely absorbed by the other or they are not given separate national states. No power in the world can establish the necessary understanding between them, at the same time keeping them as Hindus and Muslims with one national unit. Their traditions have been built on each other’s cost. The history of the last one thousand years is dotted with incidents which do not signify the same thing to them both. What one has recorded as its brilliant success, the other has registered as a wrong perpetrated against it.

Some people again argue that Muslim nationalists will not be seltsufficient economically and financially. That way he state in the world is entirely self dependent in every aspect of life and rich enough to satisfy its entire requirements. Whatever its economical position no nation will be prepared to lose its independence and liberty for the sake of money and other luxuries of life. Can a bird prefer all sorts of food in a cage to the free rambling life in the woods where it often does not get sufficient food? Will Afghanistan lose its independence for the sake of the rich grains and other amenities of life in India? It is therefore idle to raise the bogy of economical insufficiency in respect of Pakistan States.

       I hoe better senses will prevail and our Hindu friends who claim to be so anxious about the independence of India will understand and realise that there is no other solution for the salvation of the country than the one embodied in the Lahore Resolution of the All-India Muslim League commonly known as Pakistan Resolution, if the problem of India is ever satisfactorily to be solved.

    Sir, I cannot do better than wind up my speech by referring to a happy coincidence. Today when I move in this Honorable House this Pakistan resolution, that great Hindu leader Mr. Gandhi who has tried in the past for Hindu Muslim Unity will break his fast. It is our earnest hope that Mr. Gandhi will now more than ever become convinced that any attainment at artificial unity is foredoomed to failure. Independence of India freedom from foreign domination, riddance of imperialistic rule can only be achieved when the Hindu Muslim question has been settled in an honourable manner to the satisfaction of the great Muslim Nation by conceding its Pakistan demand. It is therefore that I venture to hope that his inner light will reveal to him the imperative need to concede to the Muslim Nation the right of self-determination and thereby he will spare us all the tragedy that will inevitably happen leading to disastrous consequences if this fair demand of the Muslims is opposed and any constitution that does confer this right upon Muslim is thrust upon us against our wishes.

       SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: Sir, I wish to move two amendments to the resolution moved by my friend Mr.G.M.Sayed. I do not know whether you will allow me to move these amendments at the same time or after you have dealt with one.

The Honourable The Speaker: Which are the amendments?

SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: Sir, I move my first amendment that in line 3 from the bottom, after the word “own the words” “with safeguards for minorities “should be added. My second amendment is this, viz: “Drop the words “Civil war with grave in the last line, and substitute the word “disastrous”.

The Honourable The Speaker: The amendment moved is in line 3 from the bottom, after the word “own” the words “with safeguards for minorities” should be added and in the last line the words “civil war with grave” should be substituted by the word “disastrous.”

      Mr.G.M.SAYED: I accept the amendment.

The Honourable The Speaker: Is the Honourable Member going to speak? I shall permit him if he wants to.

SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: Sir, I aptest the resolution of my Honourable friends as amended by me I am sorry that my Hindu friends have thought it is to walk out of this Honourable House. I would have been more pleased if they had been broad minded enough to give us at least a patient hearing if the proposals were not acceptable to them, they could have remained neutral but there was no relevant reason for their leaving the House. It is since long that Indian National Congress and All India Muslim League and other organizations have expressed their ideas and views on the future constitution of India. The ideology behind this resolution has been placed before the country by the All India Muslim League. It was necessary to think a little over it and decide whether the resolution should be supported by the House. There was nothing new in it, which was Greek and Latin to the Honourable Hindu Members and that is so hit upon their hearts that they were compelled to leave this House or even the province of Sind. There was not a single point in it on which it was necessary for them to show displeasure. The question of future of India is a constitutional. The question of future of India is a constitutional question. On such questions some of Honourable Members at times are over powered by communalism. It pertains to a constitutional issue and we have to judge with patience, whether it would be possible to have federated union in India. I think it cannot be possible unless there are independent units in India. If I may state in English “Federation of Units, presupposes existence of independent Units in the country.”

        The main aim of this resolution is that Muslims of India want reconstruction of those provinces and areas in which Muslims are in majority. Similar case should be of the other provinces of India in which Hindus are in majority. In this resolution there is nothing mentioned about those provinces, in which Hindus are in majority yet they are included in it. It will be applicable to the provinces in which Muslim are in majority as well as to those provinces in which Hindus are in majority. It is neither injustice to Hindus nor Muslim. It is a constitutional matter which is being decided for ever. These major communities then will have brotherly terms and connections either on compromise foundation or on the basis of treaty. This resolution does not aim at war but it is a method to check war. It has been said by Honourable friend Mr. G.M.Sayed that there should be self determination and independence in the provinces on the lines of Soviet Units in Russia. The units have got the right of secession and there is such a clause permitting the right of units in the Russian constitution. Having regard to these points, it can be said that this resolution was only a constitutional question and there was no real cause for my Honourable Hindu friend to leave the House.

    It is not possible for Congress to solve the problem of India. Every country has its own problems. The problem of India can be solved with broad mind and liberal views; it is necessary for us to understand each other’s view points and to arrive at settlement. My Honourable friend has referred to the Lahore Resolution, passed by All-India Muslim League in which it was mentioned that safeguards should be guaranteed minorities. The safeguards should relate to culture, religion, social customs and language. Therefore I thought it necessary to move this amendment. It is relevant to the Lahore Resolution which is known as Pakistan Resolution. It is no exaggeration to say that my Honourable friend Mr.G.M.Sayed has rendered service to the whole of India by moving this resolution. From the time the Sind Assembly has come into existence this is the first time that the opinion of the Muslims of Sind, in real sense is being conveyed. If the principle of this resolution is accepted it can bring about compromise between Muslim league and Congress. Sir Strafford Cripps proposals which were not accepted by Congress contained the same principle. Sir Strafford Cripps proposal had four parts. One part was that after the war, there would be independent units. Those units may retain their sovereignty or may join an All India Union. The Congress Working Committee too passed a resolution declaring that no unit could be forced to accede in the Union if they preferred to stand out.

    Honourbale Mr.G.M.Sayed resolution is similar to the proposal of Sir, Strafford Cripps. Independent states should be formed, where Muslims are in majority. There is clamour all over the world for New order. Why not give some serious thought to the problem of a New order for India? The principle of this resolution can help both the communities to come to terms. All- India Muslim League’s resolution ushers in the possibility of such an understanding. It is no doubt that we do not wish to remain under any Central Government. In the Central Government there will be a permanent majority of one community. Though it is not the intention of Honourable the mover, yet is possible that Congress and Muslim League may sit at one round table and while considering the internal and external affairs of the provinces and finances of India, can evolve an acceptable constitution. There are some problems affecting equally more than one province. For example Indus river dispute between Punjab and Sind Governments. An arbitrator was appointed. After the matter was decided both the Governments have appealed to H.M.the King Emperor. It would have been more correct if both these Pakistan Provinces had appealed to the All-India Muslim League. We have to evolve a common machinery for the settlement of the inter-provincial disputes.

     The province of Sind has got a sea coast. We may require a Navy to defend the coast line. That Navy would not guard Sind Province only but also other provinces, such as Punjab and N.W.P. Province. Many questions of that type would arise. We would be required to maintain Naval force, Air Force and Land Force. It is a matter for consideration why the expenditure should be borne by Sind alone. I do not deem it impossible that after the theoretical differences have ended, there might arise the necessity of having central machinery for the settlement of inter-states disputes. For Sind it is more beneficial to agree to the proposal of Sir Strafford Cripps, which has not yet been withdrawn by the British Government. Every province possesses its own natural gifts and Sind has got Karachi as a natural gift. The revenue derived from customs only is eight to nine crores. Besides there are other incomes obtained from income tax, Railway and Postal receipts which go to Central Government but we do not get any share from that revenue. At present it would be seen that our Government cannot introduce compulsory education for our children and we have no funds to make necessary arrangements for medical relief. The reason is its poor financial position. When major portion of the income is taken away by the Central Government. There is no need for us to maintain this white elephant of the Central Government from our revenues.

       The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: Sir, while opposing the resolution of the Honourable Member Mr.G.M.Sayed, before I give my reasons for opposing the same. I congratulate the Honourable Member Shaikh Abdul Majid on arguing about the resolution on general and political rounds only. I am glad to note that he did not touch religion as did my Honourable friend Sayed Ghulam Martaza Shah. Of course every body has got his own point of view on general and political matters. There is always a difference of opinion so far as that aspect of the matter is concerned and I have no objection to that in the least. What I am sorry about is the attitude of the Honourable Member Mr. Sayed who tried to show the difference in the religions of Hindus and Muslims. He tried to touch all the bad points of the Hindu religion. They may be bad according to him and good according to others. There is always difference of opinion in that also. But I do not wish to pay him in the same coin in order to show the good points or the bad points of his religion for which I have got the greatest regard. I am a believer in the brotherhood of religions. God is one and I consider all the religions of the world as different roads leading to God. That is my own point of view Muslim religion according to the Hindus may have its good or bad points. But according to me the aim of all the religions is the same. So I do not wish to touch the merits or the demerits of Hindu and Muslim religions. What I would therefore request the Honourable Member Mr. Sayed is that he should always touch such questions on general and political grounds only as my Honourable friend Shaikh Abdul Majid had done. Certainly we have no objection to that. As they are members of the Muslim League surely they have got every right to follow Muslim League mandate. Similarly are members of Hindu Mahasbha and we have every right to carry out our own policy and programme. Therefore they should not bring in the point of religion. That is what I strongly object to. I may repeat once again that I have got the greatest regard for Muslim religion and as a matter of fact all the religions of the world over. With these few remarks I oppose the resolutions.

       Mr.G.M.Sayed: Sir, I rise on a point of personal explanation. I have never pointed out the bad points of Hindus religion or the good points of Muslim religion. I have only shown the differences. I have got great respect for Hindu religion. My religion teaches me tolerance for all the religions of the world. That is the commandment of the Holy Prophet. We should not belittle any other religion. So it was far from my intention to say anything against Hindu religion. I only wanted to show the different conceptions of both ideologies and I assure my Honourable friend Dr.Hemandas that it was not with an object of showing that Hindu conception was bad and mine was good. It was merely to show how diametrically they were opposed to each other. That was my point.

       Mr. MUHAMMAD USMAN SOOMRO :( In Sindhi) Sir, the resolution introduced by Honourable Member Mr.G.M.Sayed created misunderstanding in my mind but it has been removed by the speech of Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid. We have read the propoals of Sir Strafford Cripps. They were worthy proposals. According to them every Province would have enjoyed its independence while joining union or remaining as a unit. It was ill-luck that the proposals were not accepted by Hindus, Muslims and Congress, Sir Strafford Cripps went back without any agreement. There is no question of Hindu or Muslim, every body would be eager to see the independence of Sind. That independence does not mean that our Sind Province should be combined with Baluchistan, Pubjab or Pakistan or with other provinces. By doing so Sind would be put in dark because majority would be theirs; similarly it was said by Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid in his speech. The population of Punjab and Baluchistan is greater and if Sind is combined with them it would suffur. It may take place that some deserts and frontiers might be put along with Sind, and be an unnecessary burden on it. The Sind province has got its own sufficient income and therefore it would be beneficial if it remains separate. Considering these points it can be said that the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps are up to the mark and it would be better if they are accepted by Sind. Now the question remains whether the provinces should join together. This should be decied at the time when a question pertaining to all the provinces arises for example the dispute of Indus water. For such matters and quarrels a tribunal would be appointed. By this kind of independence Muslims as well as Hindus would be gainers. It would be the duty of majority to protect the rights of minority. If separated every Province would feel its responsibility to meet the expenditure with in its income. With these words I support the resolution.

   The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: Sir, I am glad to note that the Honourable Member Mr.G.M.Sayed has removed the impression by assuring the Hindu community that he had no intention what so ever to comment on Hindu religion. I would like to make a few remarks so far as the Pakistan system is concerned or whatever the Honourable Member Mr.G.M.Sayed himself has said. He said that there is a rule of the tyrant because of the majority community. So far as I can understand he refers to the Hindu community. What is the case in Sind? The Hindus are not in the majority, but the Mussalmans are. Similarly in some other Provinces the Mussalmans are in the majority, and they want a separate province to be ruled or constituted by them. I think it is not a different way that he has suggested why Pakistan in needed. He has repeated the same story which in his opinion, is being repeated in India. I do not know whether in other Provinces any resolution in the Legislative Assemblies or in the Central Assembly or the council of state has been moved carried. It only shows that this resolution in this Assembly is being moved on the assumption that this House has got the majority of the Mussalmans, and that they are sure that such a resolution will be carried. We personally do not mind if by their majority they carry the resolution. But I must remind my Honourable friend that he is accusing the Hindus that they will rule the other provinces in India because they are in the majority. He wants the same thing to be repeated in our Province.

   The second point is this. The war is at the doors of India. The question therefore is whether it would be advisable for India to be divided into states. If it is done, they may not be able to defend the country from the enemy attack at this time. If the states are divided I do not think it would be possible to safeguard the interests of India. So far as the Indian demand goes, it is for Swaraj or independence for India. It is not for any individual province. It is not for any individual district; it is not for any individual taluka. From what the Honourable Member Mr. G.M.Sayed said if that should be the principle accepted by the Muslim League on the assumption that they consider themselves a minority community in Sind. Similarly in each district or in each taluka or in each town the same thing might be repeated that they may be independent. I think it will be absolutely wrong in policy that the Province should be divided into independent districts or independent taluka head quarters or independent divisions. It should remain as a whole and the province should be attached as a whole to India.

   Similarly there is the question of Hindu Muslim unity; I can understand that if there are some differences of opinion on the independence of India, they can certainly settle their disputes by all means. But it is absolutely difficult to imagine, Sir, that if our province is separated they would naturally want that it should be attached to the Punjab and the Punjab to the frontier and the frontier with Turkey or any other place and so on. I do not know what would be the significance or consequence of this in the long run. If it is the idea of our Muslim League brother that they must have separate Raj separate division to rule, I can understand that significance. How is that possible to expect? Similarly I might also inform my Honourable friend Mr.G.M.Sayed what is the case in America, Negroes are there. They have got the same rights as others. Are they going to be separated on this account? If we look the past history of Ireland what was it? Ireland was divided…..

The Honourable The Speaker: If they could help it.

The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: Similarly Austria was attached with Germany some time back and when it was separated you could understand there was no independence. It is separate from Germany altogether. I quote these for the sake of examples. If we are separated from one Province to another from province to district and so on I do not think it will be a good idea or suggestion for people to separate and lose their villages or towns or provinces. Nobody would be able to defend them selves. So far as the Hindus are concerned they have got their religious pilgrimages every where in India. Similarly the Mussalmans have got their pilgrimages every where in India. If India is divided into parts, provinces or districts how would it be possible to maintain that unity?

     With these words, I would like to oppose the resolution.

Mrs.J.G.ALLANA (In Sindhi) Sir, on behalf of the Muslim women of this province I support this resolution, I assure the Honourable House that we are true to Muslim League and I desire that the Muslims of India may get Pakistan as soon as possible.

     The Honourable KHAN BAHADUR M.AKHUHRO: I have nothing much to add on a resolution of this kind. The Honourable the Mover of the resolution Mr.G.M.Sayed has made the position entirely clear in a written speech he has made in this House and he has fully explained the ideology of the Muslim League as adumbrated in the Resolution of the All-India Muslim League passed in Lahore in March 1940.

      Now, there is a slight misunderstanding created by what Honourable Member Shaikh Sahib said, namely that as far as he was able to understand, the proposals of the British Government by Sir Strafford Cripps also accepted the principle of independence of individual provinces, what they called political units. Now the difference between those proposals and the Muslim league ideology was, as was said by Mr. Jinnah in his presidential address at the Lahore session last year that the Muslim League demanded self-determination of Muslim nations as such—namely the Muslim community of the entire India. Though it may be said that the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps go a great deal to meet the wishes of the Muslim League, they do not go cent per cent. They may be about 50 or 60 per cent. What we ask is that there should be acknowledged the part of the British Government the right of complete self-determination of the Muslim nation. This has been sufficiently argued by the Honourable mover of the resolution.

      Secondly, Honourable Member Shaikh Sahib showed that there are sufficient grounds that the Muslims are a nation because they are politically, socialy,religiously and for various other reasons that have been described by him independent and they have every just claim to self-determination.

    I think Sir; it would the difficult to say if Sind at the stage could stand by itself. Now there is the Western Zone comprising of Baluchistan, Frontier Province & Similarly there is the Eastern Zone comprising part of Assam, part of Bengal &. Those zones compared to India as a whole are much less than the entire area or the entire population of the Indian sub-continent. The Muslim League does not say that the Hindu should be deprived of independence. The Muslim League stands for independence. The League says: Let Hindus have independence in their own areas and the Muslims where they are in majority should have similar independence. Therefore I do not understand the argument of my Honourable friend Rai Sahib Gokaldas. Sind and other provinces under the provincial autonomy are already independent. The Honourable Minister Knows it only in certain respects they are dependent on the Central Government. But we want complete independence of the Central Government, complete freedom under the new dispensation of things. The point that because Sind will be a separate independent province, therefore each taluka, each district, each village will claim to be independent is ridiculous. Punjab is a separate province, so also the North West Frontier&C. Therefore the principle of independence is acknowledged that they are separate units and these provinces can maintain themselves. The only question remains about the Military, Air Force and Navy. These are Central subjects. These things can be discussed at a Round Table Conference where representatives of the Congress, the Mahasbha and all prominent bodies will be present and they will come to an amicable understanding. There is no serious objection to the resolution as such and I hope the House will accept it unanimously or y a majority.

      The Honourable SIR GHULAM HUSSAIN HIDAYATULLAH: Sir, I would suggest that a copy of the proceedings of this debate may be forwarded to the proper authorities. I have nothing more to say.

 Mr.G.M.Sayed: I wish to reply to one or two points raised by Honourable Rai Sahib Gokaldas Mewaldas. Let Hindus have 3/4th share and Muslims 1/4th. We do not grudge that they should have their share. He said that if there was a proposal for independence of Sind only, then it was a different matter. But he has a fear that tomorrow we might even join with Turkey. Why should he say so? It will depend upon both of us. If they are able to influence us and if we are able to remain aloof, why should we join Turkey? Why has Turkey not jointed Afghanistan or Persia? They are independent Muslim countries free to federal but still they have not joint. History has proved it. I cannot promise what will be decided in the future. It is left to the wishes of the people of the Province.

      Another point is of defence. How is Afghanistan defending itself: how is Persia defending itself; how is Iraq defending itself? Our province is richer than Afghanistan; it has got much more population than several of these small states in the world. Why can we not defend ourselves, when other smaller nations can defend them selves?

    The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: He does not realise that they are ruling nations.

Mr.M.H.GAZDAR: We want to be a ruling nation.

Mr.G.M.Sayed: Then come to the geographical units. We have Canada and United States of America. They are independent nations and they do not unite. Take the instance of Mexico. It is an independent nation and does not want to unite. Each and every nation wants independence and no nation wants to be dependent on the other. Therefore that argument does not stand.

     With these words I resume my seat.

     The Honourable The Speaker: Now I put the resolution.

            (Questions put and agreed to)

The Honourable Dr.HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: Sir, I want a division.

Thanks for your letter of the 28th ultimo. I am endeavoring my utmost revive the Provincial Branch of the Moslem League in Sind and as such I have asked many prominent Publicman to attend the meeting which will, I hope, come off by about the end of this month. I shall be obliged if you kindly ask some other provincial Branch to furnish me with the copy of their by-laws and the constitution which a Provincial League has got to pass. The Rules which you have been kind enough to send to me do not give any information about the constitution of Provincial Branches, for instance, whether we have to create any Managing Committee besides the general body of the League, how many representative we have to elect for the parent body out of the number allotted to the Presidency how many office-bearers are to be elected what will be their designations and what is the membership fee in case of the Provincial League. I shall deem it a favour if you kindly furnish with full particulars at your earliest convenience so that I may act accordingly.

                     As to the invitation to be extended to the All India League, I am to say that it will give us great pleasure if the Parent body holds its session in Sind which is an important province in view of the question of separation which has been agitating the mind of the entire Moslem India. But this invitation is to be extended after the Provincial branch is brought into being. Unfortunately the number sincere and selfless public corker’s into tremely limited in Sind, and requires a lot of trouble to arrange the whole affair. Nevertheless I assure you that we will not lag behind in rendering this place of service.

                             As soon as the first meeting is held I shall run upto Muradabed to see you and discuss the question of holding the session of the All India League, in Sind.

                                     As early reply is solicited.

Note for the Brayne Sind Conference by Professor H.B.K Batheja

      We have now reached a stage of our discussion at which all the relevant materials for setting the budget of a separated Sind are available. For the benefit of the members of the Conference and to serve as a basis of discussion, I have prepared the attached statement giving a rough picture of the way in which I propose to overcome the financial difficulties disclosed by the Miles Irwing Report. It will be seen that I have tried to do so, at least, as far as the ordinary deficit is concerned, without the help of a formal subvention from the Central revenues. It will be agreed on all hands that a subvention to an autonomous self-governing province as viualised by the new Federal constitution will be undesirable from every point of view. It is sure to breed a sense of irresponsibility and fin noised extravagance. It is not difficult to see how inefficient the province is likely to be, if it is allowed to milk the cow when come one else is holding the burns. The subvention will be resented by other units of the federation as a burden and probably by the unit receiving it as a symbol of political inferiority and is likely to lead to endless and bitter controversies if an impression is crested that it is being given to satisfy a communal demand.(The case of the North Western Frontier Province stands on an entirely different footing as well know imperial considerations were involved in the subvention granted to it). It is no doubt these facts which induced the Peel and Peron Federal Finance Committees to devise a scheme of division of federal resource which will do justice to every province big and small and insure to each an autonomous existence. They have modified the present basis distribution of income tax with a view to make Bombay and Bengal their way and they have further changed the basis of assessing provincial contribution so as to make Bengal, Behar & Orissa and Assam self-supporting. For wiping out the deficit of the last they have suggested special measures and concessions. I propose similar adjustments and concessions as regards Sind so as to dispense with the nee of a subvention. These are quite justified in law and equity and consistent with the theory of federal finance. Under the Government of India Act of 19-19 all revenues of British India belong to Majesty the King Emperor and are in theory controlled by the Secretary of State in Council. Under section 20 of the same Act all liabilities of any part of British India are a charge on these revenues. In practice, in the interests of efficiency and autonomy, certain revenue have been assigned along with some obligations to the Provinces under the Devolution Rules. There is nothing in constitutional law an usage and in past and present political practice, to prevent His Majesty Government from making changes in these assignment of revenues and functions in the interests of order, justice and good government. The only limits to its constitutional power of interference in this respect are those imposed by the considerations of administrative efficiency and the material and moral well being of the provincial units. As lost as provinces are not independent sovereigns units and the Central Govt retains this power of altering their obligations and their share of the revenues, it is bound to make necessary reasonable adjustments in order to ensure to them adequate revenues for normal scales of expenditure. The situation at present is that His Majesty’s Government having accepted the principle of separating Sind from Bombay, the Central Government after theoretically resuming the functions and revenues and liabilities which it had allotted to the Bombay Presidency under the Devolution Rules, is reassigning them to the two new provinces of Bombay and Sind in accordance with the federal principles governing the devision of functions and financial resources settled by the Round Table Conference. This does not mean that the Federal Structure Committee and the Federal Finance Committee can write on a clean slate and run away from existing facts. But this does imply the power and obligations to make some adjustments necessitated by certain intractable facts e.g. the obligation to cover the “Deficit” of Bengal, Bombay, Bihar& orrissa Assam and if, it is separated of Sind. In reassigning revenues and liabilities to Sind & Bombay, practical rather strictly equitable considerations governing the division of the assets and liabilities of a partnership, will have to be followed and the constitutional necessity of dispensing, as far as possible, with a sub-venation must be borne in mind, considerations which govern the division of assets and liabilities between a member of a joint family leaving the family and the rest of the members as in the case of Burma, need not apply in the case of Sind when the member though setting up a separate house does not leave the family and contributes in other ways to its burdens and obligations, As between Sind & Bombay the head of the family  i.e. the Government of India to whom ultimately all assets and liabilities belong, may decide that the assets should be divided geographically as being the only practicable course under the circumstances, but recognizing the hardship that this may entail on Sind, since it will lose the present and future revenue benefit of its connection with Bombay City where most of the moral and material assets of the President are located it may compensate it by distributing the interest and pension charges of the Presidency in manner, which if it were as single transaction standing by itself strict considerations of equity may not allow. I do not support entirely my Mussalman friends in their claim that the entire debt of the Presidency (including the Sukkur Barrage debt) should be divided between Sind and Bombay in proportion of their contribution to the joint revenue, but I do think that on the above considerations Sind should be held liable only for pensions paid from Sind Treasuries and for the interest on the Barrage debt and on account of the Provincial loan Account and borrowings from the famine insurance Fund. The rest of the unproductive debt on deficit etc and the pre-reform irrigation debt may be taken over either by the Bombay Government by the Government of India, preferably by the former as it stands to gain a great deal by getting rid of the Sind “deficit” of one crore, the burden of which is ultimately thrown on the Government of India. Without this arrangement of separating Sind, the Bombay “deficit” would not be 65 laks as given on page 22 of the Federal Finance Committee’s Report but 165 lakhs and that will have to be met anyhow by other federal adjustments if Sind is not separated and Bombay President is to enjoy an autonomous existence. With Sind, Bombay will not have a surplus of 54 lakhs but a deficit of 38 lakhs even after income tax has been distributed. In this connection I should to explain the confusion which surrounds the use of the word “deficit”. There can really be no “deficit” province as long as the whole joint family i.e. India is financially sound. A provincial “deficit” only means that under given artificial conditions of division of revenue and function certain province has deficit but these artificial condition that Sind will be able to balance its budget and even spend large sums on development of the province without any outside assistance.

     Bombay has in the past neglected Sind inasmuch as that Bombay has not spent adequate sums on the development of the province which would have resulted in the improvement of the financial position of the province. Even Barrage has been launched with considerable delay. Had it been launched 20 years ago Sind would have had a different tale to tell today.

    Public meeting of the Muslims of Shikarpur(Sind) was held at 5 P.M. on the 12th February 1938 in Jama Masjid, near Lakhi-Gate, Shikarpur, many Muslims were present at the Meeting.

       Khan Sahib Gul Hasan Khan, Retd. Naib Vazir, Khairapur State, proposed Honourable Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh Mohamed Hussain,M.C.S. to the Chair, which proposal having been seconded by Shaikarpur Main Ghulam Mohamed Sahib, Retd. Deputy Collector and unanimously approved by the Audience, the Honourable Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh occupied the Chair.

       After recitation from Holy Koran and preachings on the Unity of Muslims the following proposal was made by the Honble Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh Mohamed Hussain and seconded by Khan Sahib Gul Hasan Khan.

         “It appears that those of our brotheren who are generally out of touch with the Newspaper are unaware of the extent to which the Congress is opposed to the interests of the Muslim Community and of the Congress mentality to ruin the rights of the Muslims whenever such occasion arises. If some few Muslims have joined the Congress, it is simply because they have an axe to grind; and by so doing they have caused many other Muslims to fall into error and thus be misled into regarding the Congress as their representative. This is wrong and the Congress is quite against the rights and interests of the Muslim Community. Had the Muslim League not been established for the cause of the Community and had it not opposed the Congress and exposed the congress maneuvers, the Muslims would have been much worse now and worst in the future. Mostly throughout India, the Muslims have recognized the League as Champion of their cause; and this fact is evidenced from the Resolutions passed everywhere in this connection. It is in the interests of the Muslim Community that the League opposes Congress: and it is therefore that so many Muslims have enrolled themselves as Members of the League. Hence the Muslims of Shikarpur should, in the interests of the Community joint the Muslim League as Members and should safely really on it.

      Having placed this proposal I request the Audience to express their true intention. If they want to join the League, they should send a Resolution to that effect to the League and become its Members.”

    The Audience unanimously passed this Resolution and expressed their desire to join the Muslim League as its Members and prayed for the opening of a Branch of the League at Shikarpur(Sind).

Dear Sir,

              We forward herewith our Statement on the sudden resignation of Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatallan’s Ministry from the office in the Cabinet of the Sind legislative “assembly, and request you to kindly insert the same in your paper at your earliest convenience, for the general information of the public.

Yours Faithfully

M.H.Gazdar,M.L.A.Sind                                Khan Bahadur,

& Member of the Democratic                        M.A.Khuhro, M.L.A Sind&Party Sind.                                                          General Secretary Democratic Party Sind.

A STATEMENT BY MUSLIM BAHADUR M.A. KHUHRO AND MR. M.A.GAZDAR OF THE SIND MUSLIM PROVINCE ASSEMBLY ON SIR GHULAM HUSSAIN ASSINATION FROM THE OFFICE.

We feel we are a duty to the public in apprising them of the true situation which caused the sudden resignation of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s Ministry on 21st. inst: Those who have been in the know of developments in Sind politics during the course of last one year, must have been greatly surprise of shocked to bear of the sudden and un-expected result of voting in the Legislative Assembly on 18th March.

             In September, the members of the “United Party” numbering about to agreed to join the Democratic Party headed by Sir Ghulam Hussain, thus naming the new party as Democratic Coalition Party. At the time of merger, it was quite clear that no jobs will be demanded by this group needed by K.B.Allan Bux.A common program was agreed upon, and all the members of the party signed pledges and the programs. By the end of September coalition was completely formed and in early November the working Committee of this new party was nominated by the leader Sir Ghulam Hussain and act of 10 Muslim members of the working committee, three were nominated from the Group of the old united party. The working committee started deliberations for the first time on 9th December 1937. The meeting continued for three days. The resolutions pass in these meetings were conforms by the full party held on 25th and 28th February. The subsequent meetings of the working committee discussed and decided upon the various items of the programme in early March.

             THE CABINET HAS NOT ENLARGED.

    Certain members of the working committee belonging to the old United Party were of the opinion that the cabinet be enlarged and the number be raised from 3 to 6. Thus by increasing the number of ministers,K.B.Allah Bux Leader of the United Party group and Mr.Binchaldas leader of the Hindu Independent group, could have been provided and there by conduced to the stability of the ministry.

               The leading members of the United Party like K.B.Allah Bux and Mr.G.S.Syed however made it clear that they would not defect from the party for at least one year whether the number of ministers was increased or no, and that the ministry would be given a fair chance to give effect to the recommendations of the Working committee. The object of increasing the number of ministers was that three ministers were unable to cope with the heavy routine work and at the same time, to give effect to new ideas and schemes laid down in the party programme.

Loyalty Promised

           Sight up to 17th perch the united party members clearly declared that they would be loyal to the party and will cause no trouble whatsoever. On 18th March at 1-30 p.m. eight of these members signee a letter of resignation from the party and handed it over to the general secretary of the Party viz; Khan Bahadur Khuhro at the Assembly Hall. The voting on the remaining items of the Budget was to take place between 3 and 6 that very afternoon. Five members of the ministerial party were absent from Karachi that day and it was not possible for the township of the party to get them at such short notice.

TREACHEROUS ACTION

    Had these United Party members been honest and straight forward they should have at least given notice on the previous day about their desertion and the party strength could have been easily mobilized by telegraphically getting the absentee members to Karachi. So it does not require any elaboration to show that their action was clearly treacherous. It has now transpired that these United Party members had entered into an agreement with the Hindu Independent Party headed by Mr.Mihchaldas on 17th morning with a view to overthrow the ministry and this fact was kept strictly secret by them.

FLUID ELEMENT

        We are not oblivious of the fact that there is a certain fluid element both among Mohommedan and Hindu member of the Assembly and many small groups within each party and that therefore it was not possible to form a stable ministry for more than six months with only three gentlemen in the cabinet in these days of Democracy the demands of the people are many and it not possible therefore for any three ministers to carry on, however efficient and willing they be to meet all individual requests or public grievances.

                   The defent of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s ministry in snap division by a majority of only one vote any that too under the circumstances enumerate above can not by any fair-minded person be considered a defeat at all. But Sir Ghulam Hussain not possible daily realizing that without enlarging the cabinet it was for him to form a stable ministry resigned his office on list March.

MAY MR.MIHCHALDAS

          It may be realized for the information of the public that at the time of resignation of Gobindram due to his financial troubles in October last, it was decided that in view of the joint responsibility of the Cabinet, it was not possible to offer Mr. Minchaldas a seat in the Cabinet,ne having decline to sign the programme.And this programme was substantially prepared by Mr. G.M.Syed the guiding spirit of the United Party group. This was the reason why Dr. Hemandas who joined the party was selected as Minister. This action was misconstrued by many Hindu members as an act of communalism and therefore later on they refused to support Dr. Hemandas and adhered to Mr. Minchaldas or we may call them left-wingers thought that ministry was not strong enough to fight against the domineering of the I.C.S. Secretaries and the Departmental Heads, so as to bring about a change in their mental out-look on the other hand certain officials thought that the ministry was out to give undue concessions to the Zamindars. All these factors combine with un-expected treachery on the part of these sight members of the United Party brought about this sudden collapse.

Sir Ghulam Hussain’s Ministry’s Achievements

     Those who are out to find fault with late ministry in order to justify the ignoble act on the part of K.B. Allah Bux’s group, should not forget that Sir Ghulam Hussain ministry did a great deal for the people of this province during the short period of less than a year that they were in the office. Some of their achievements are the following:-

a)      The abolition of the Grazing fees from the Revenue fields.

b)     The reduction of 1/3 of grazing fees on bovine cattie in the forest areas.

c)      The abolition of the lease-money on all Non-Barrage lands.

d)     The continuance of policy of liberal Fasili-remnissions.

e)      Entire remission of accumulated interest that is simple Compound and Penal int in Karachi District, kotri taluka of Dadu Distric Rohri Sub-Division of Sukkur District and Daryahiwah of Gooni taluka on takavi loans and the decision to calculate interest at the rate of 6 per cent from the very time the loans were taken and recovery by easy installments spread over a long spell of years.

f)       And the suspension of the later-course charges survey expenses etc., amounting to Corrode runes pending appointment of a committee to go into this question thoroughly and report thereon.

g)      The suspension of application of new settlement rates.

h)     The appointment of anti-corruption committees.

i)        The establishment of the Public Grievance Burearu to put down corruption.

j)        The abolition of the system of collector’s and Commissioner’s Chairs.

  These are no mean achievements and vie with these of any Congress ministry.

Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatallah in an absolute Majority.

                   The above exposition will show that K.B.Allah bux the leader of only about ten member’s followers was called upon by this Excellency the Governor of Sind to form the ministry which he could only do with the help of Mr. Nihchaldas and his ten communalistic adherents. Even with Mr. Nihehalds’ help the total strength of this new party was but twenty followers; whereas the strength of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s party even on the day he had resigned numbered as many as twenty five excluding the Europeon members. Thus he was indisputable leader of the largest single party.

                In the circumstances it would appear a little inexplicable as to why His Excellency the Governor of Sind did not call upon Sir Ghulam Hussain to Form the ministry once more Having reformed the ministry it is not unreasonable to anticipate that he would have got a working majority of 34 to 35 members. For obvious season that the fluid element would then have gravitated to his side.

PUNISTMENT FOR TRACHERY.

  The Congress although not coalescing are supposed not to actively opposes them for some little time. This virtuely means that either the congress group will surrender to this new ministry their vowed principles or that the ministry will completely place itself in the handed of the congress group and act in obedience to their dictates. Such ministry’s deem is clearly fore-shadowed after an inglorious short life. Born of personal ambitions actively assisted by Hindu rank communalism, it will do more harm than good to this province. These conflicting elements that have combined to form the ministry carry within themselves the poisonous germs which will soon destroy its existence and will never as a fitting punishment for its treacherous deeds.

Dear Sir,

I enclose herewith a statement on the recent developments in Sindh over the question of formation of Ministry. It is self-explanatory.

Unfortunately the selfishness of Sir Ghulam Hussain, Mir Bundeh Ali and K. B. Allahbux  have subjected the Muslim Community of Sindh to very serious difficulties. The only way by which the Muslims of Sindh can be liberated from this unhappy plight is that the Indian Muslims should come to their rescue. For the present we should be satisfied if you could kindly place these facts before the Muslims on your side and ascertain their views thereon through public meeting for purposes of being communicated to Sir Ghulam Hussain, Mir Bundeh Ali and K. B. Allahbux. A copy of the resolutions which may thus be passed may be forwarded to this office also so that it may be given publicity in the local Press here. The general Muslim public here  is very much annoyed with this conduct of those gentlemen and it is necessary that the Indian Muslim Public Opinion should also assist them in forming all India wide atmosphere against the present anti Muslim and irresponsible Sindh Ministry. I trust you will treat this as urgent.

I think I have already made myself clear that you have to send copies of the resolutions to -------- gentlemen above mentioned also, directly.

Yours sincerely,

With reference to your letter dated the 20th of December 1938 I beg to inform you that you have not as yet sent the contribution as required under Section 37 of the Constitution and Rules of the All India Muslim League. It was told by your Joint Secretary, on his visit here, that he has secured a receipt of Rs: 50/- from this office. It is really surprising and needs an immediate enquiry. Kindly send me the receipt or the number of the receipt so that we may institute an enquiry.

Sir Haji Abdullah Haroon M.L.A. (Central) has issued the following statement to Press:-

As is usual with the Congress, its votaries in charge of the United Provinces administration have now begun measuring their swords with the Muslim Khaksars. Those who knew the circumstances which resulted in the Congress-Khaksar clashes in the North-West Frontier Proince and who were also aware of the nature of the Honourable Dr. Mahmud’s mission when he on his return from the Frontier, came to see Allama Mashraqi at Lahore, already anticipated that the Congress, having thus failed to win the co-operation of the Khaksars, will now naturally resort to repression in order to coerce and conquer this important Muslim volunteer organization. I have read passages from the leaflet issued in Hindustani by the U. P. Congress Ministry regarding the Khaksars and I am pained to find that it has been couched in such a discourteous language that it smells of spite and rancor. The quarrel has evidently been kicked up by the Congress, for otherwise there was absolutely no necessity for Allama Mashraqi being out under arrest, after the Shia-Suni trouble had terminated and the Allama was about to leave Lucknow. The Khaksars organization is an innocent Muslim volunteer organization but we cannot expect any good treatment at the hands of the Congress in respect of anything that bears the Muslim label. The responsibility for having made the United Provinces as an object of pilgrimage for thousands of Khaksars from all over India lies on the shoulders of the U. P. Ministry which tries to keep the cauldron of internal strife burning even when the impending disaster of the world war needed that all Indian resources should be conserved and utilized only in combating it. The sympathies of the Muslim community are with the Khaksars in this the hour of their trial.

Political situation in Sindh,

Self-seekers’ treachery to Islam and their future, Muslim league not defeated

(By Sayyed Ali Muhammad H. Rashdi, Secretary, Sindh Provincial Muslim League)

After great hopes had been aroused in the hearts of the Indian Muslims, that the Sindh Provincial Muslim League was about to oust the present Sindh Ministry of Khan Bahadur Allahbux from office, the recent dramatic disintegration of the League Assembly party and the failure of the censure motion on the 12th inst. Must have given them a rude shock. The Hindu Press, as usual has made a political capital out of it and the country is being inundated with false material calculated to weaken the League movement even in other provinces. As the following facts would indicate, I would like to send a message to the Indian Muslims that, firstly the League affairs in Sindh are not as bad as they are being depicted by the interested press, and secondly, that your calculations have not been disturbed by the enemies of the League but by those who, till the very last moment, professed to be it’s devoted followers.

Previous history recalled

It will be recalled that in the last General Elections of Sindh Assembly no one, excepting Sheikh Abdul Majid, had sought election on the Muslim League ticket and as such there was no one in the Assembly who was under any obligation to the League till the last Karachi Conference was held. It was only a few months before the Karachi Conference took place that Sir Abdullah Haroon and Sheikh Abdul Majid inaugurated the League movement in the province and the first man to respond to their call was Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah who had just then been made to vacate his seat of Chief Minister of Sindh. On the eve of the Karachi Conference, however, the number of the League Assembly party members swelled to 27, and in spite of Mr. Jinnah’s disapproval, Sir Ghulam Hussain insisted that he should be the leader of the League party in the Assembly to which the party had agreed, subject, of course, to the condition that in the interests of the League movement Sir Ghulam Hussain would not covert any post in the cabinet and this stipulation was accepted by Sir Ghulam Hussain without any demur. Thus Sir Ghulam Hussain ever since then continued functioning as the leader of the League Assembly party and nobody distrusted his loyslty to the League and its principles upto the last moment.

After the Karachi Conference was over, the League with 27 adherents of it’s own in the Assembly and a few others, those party denominations need not now be disclosed, was sure to unseat the Allahbux Ministry and therefore --------------------------------------------in the sutimistic reports that were -------------------- appearing in the press.

In the middle of December last, there were rumors current that some sort of negotiations were doing on between S.R. Ghulam Hussain and Khan Bahadur Allahbux, but it did not arouse our suspicious, for  the trusted Sir Ghulam implicitly. Not did we have any reason to feel otherwise. It was then considered as thoroughly unimaginable that a veteran of Sir Ghulam’s ----- signed its pledge, would go back upon them in a most unceremonious manner kicking at the very faces nine crores of the Indian Muslims whose -------- he knew were so in excitably intertwined with the success and the prestige of the Muslim League. Even otherwise, Sir Ghulam Hussain ever since the fall of his own ministry claimed to be fully cognizant of the disastrous consequences of Allahbux regime in the province. He had addressed ------- of meetings in which he had expressed his abhorrence of the very ------- supporting K.B. Allahbux in any manner in a most unpolished and unvarniged language. He was the first M.L.A. to sand in a non-confidence motion ------ August, last. His memorable anti-Allahbux statement of August, which ------ to have been inspired by high ideals of service and sacrifice for the ----- of teeming Muslim masses of Sindh, foreshadowed no possibility of his lying his own declarations with his own deeds. He took keen interest in end elaborations of the Karachi Conference and the intensity of his enthuasm was clear from the fact that as he was very keenly feeling our having supplied him with an “Office-bearers Hedge” we had, at the last moment give him a mere National Guard Captain’s badge which he went on willingly ----- for all the time that the Conference was in a session.

Sir Ghulam Hussain Reassures

After the reports of Allahbux-Ghulam Hussain negotiations appeared in press. We tried to fathom his mind but he silenced us by reiterating his firm faith in the League and directing us to take some steps for further consolidation of the League Party’s strength. In the third week of December Sir Ghulam left for Bombay and while leaving he issued notices to League Assembly party members to attend the party meeting which he had called at his house on the 3rd of January one day before the Assembly session had to commence. On the ------ of January the meeting was held under his own chairmanship and after the position was fully examined and found to be satisfactory, it was decided that Mr. G. M. Sayed should move the no-confidence motion.

---- Assembly Session Commenced

On the 4th of January when the non-confidence motion was formally given notice of, the position of the League party appeared to be sufficiently satisfactory. It is true that a certain number of the League party members had gone over to the Treasury benches, but as we were aware of their serious personal difficulties, and as their making these benches half-way-house for themselves till the final hour of their liberation, did not affect the League position so far as the final results were comforts to push the motion through. On 6th, the motion was moved and the speaker fixed the 10th of January for its discussion. Now, it will be borne in mind that for all these days Sir Ghulam Hussain continued functioning as the League party Leader. One day before the motion was to be discussed Sir Ghulam, however, suddenly got up in the Assembly and announced his resignation from the League party. We met on the 9th and twice on the 10th and 11th, to consider the position, and we were given to understand that Sir Ghulam was willing to withdraw his resignation if only the ban inflicted against him was withdrawn. The party removed the been and we in the working committee, were given to understand that on the 12th when the motion would be voted upon he would withdraw his resignation on the floor of the Assembly and would speak and vote against the Ministry. We again based our calculations on that understanding and extended a fresh assurance to our allies on the other side, doing those lines.

The final day

On the 12th, the eyes of the whole house and of the people in the galleries were recessed on Sir Ghulam Hussain who chose to sit quiet till only a few hours before the motion had actually to be pushed to the division. Suddenly he got up from his seat and made a speech which besides being opposed to his all previous professions, declaration and deeds, was incoherent and inconsistent. His main ground for such a speech was the Sindh must have a stable Government, that these sudden changes shock that stability, that K. B. Allahbux would now be able to see whether G. M. Sayed was his best friend or Sir Ghulam himself, and that as there was no one single party in the whole Assembly which can replace the existing one, he in the interests of the province had chosen to do what he was thus doing. Such a speech filling is it did from the mouth of one who had solemnly signed the League pledge in spite of all those conditions, and who had previous to that left no word in the vocabulary which he had not employed against the ministry, tended at once to create an atmosphere of complete chaos, confusion and demoralization, in the whole of the Assembly. Nobody knew where he stood and what has to come next. Our friends behind the Ministers instead of voting for the country felicitated themselves on having made the right choice that discretion was the better part of velour and it was under such conditions that the League motion was pushed to the division and declared defeated.

I would now leave it to the Indian public to determine whether the League in Sindh has been defeated by any honest, honourable or legitimate methods or whether there is any fault of the Muslim masses of Sindh who, outside the Assembly chamber, are seething with ------ what has happened.

----Not Responsible

The League ----- be held responsible for the irresponsible and un------- conduct of those who had secured their entry into the Assembly before the message of the Muslim League had reached the masses in Sindh who are now completely immune from suffering any penalty at the hands their electors till the whole of the current term is over. Although League activities in Sindh are of recent origin, the Muslim masses are ------ behind the League. During the last few months there have been three ------- elections different districts of the province and not a single Muslim League candidate has been defeated in the contest. Almost all local------- governing bodies, where Muslims are in a majority, have decided to ----- at the League Flag. The total number of Muslim League branches and of the Muslim League members in Sindh exceeds the Congress membership figures though the letter has been working for the last 19 years. Thus the de------ of the ------ motion by those methods or continuance of Allahbux ministry should not in any way be construed as a failure of the League movement in Sindh. It was not without the support of the Muslim masses ----- him that Shaikh Abdul Majid, on the very floor of the Assembly, had aligned Khan Bahadur Allahbux to resign his seat face his candidature, ------- see for himself where has stood with the masses. This challenge was ------ not accepted by the premier.

-----of Reckoning for Allah Bakhsh

We are not even dejected on account of a number of our members having ------ over the Ministerial side. They deserve pity and not condemnation. -------- personal difficulties are such that they cannot afford to provoke ----- of such a Ministry. There is a perjury case pending against one member, if I mistake not, the very recipient of garlands from Honourable Moulvi Fazl-ul-Haq at the Patna Conference. Another members --------- involved a big civil suit and one wink of an influential eye car change his whole future. The third member is fearing complications due to a matter connected with society loans. The fourth gentleman has a huge stake in a matter ------ before Government. Two other members are involved in matters of ------ a very different nature. There is an election petition pending against at another member and one of the Judges on the tribunal has been express ----- himself unmistakably through open press statement in favour of the Allahbux Ministry. And then there have been offers of Parliamentary Secretary ships and minister ships. If the people outside want to know the whole ----- they should get official copies of the Sindh Assembly Debates for those dates. A study of those documents would completely vindicate the position of the League in Sindh.

In conclusion I can only say that the final and decisive day has not -----dawned. The Allahbux Ministry in spite of these victories is yet in the melting-pot. Even after the first victory it has been defeated twice.----- is proposing to go to the Wizard of Wardha once again. Anyway, methods like the present ones have never proved to be paying in the long run and ----- I am sure, it is going to happen now. One thing, however, is abundant ---------clear; the Muslim masses of Sindh having come to be considered as the ------ a dead animal all the carnivorous animals in the country have ----- their teeth on its flesh. It therefore deserves sympathy and not ------------.

 Sindh ministerial tangle

Latest position

(By Sayyed Ali Muhammad H. Rashdi, Sindh Provincial Muslim League Karachi)

The Budget Session of the Sindh Legislative Assembly has been adjourned for a fortnight in view of Mohurrum Holidays and the Congress session. It will perhaps resume its sittings from the 17th of March.

As was expected the inclusion of Sir Ghulam Hussain and Mir Bundeh Ali into the cabinet has, instead of strengthening the position of the ministry, tended to further weaken it. It will be remembered that on the very first day of the session the Government had suffered a defeat at the hands of the apposition. Even after that the position of the ministry has all along having broken their party discipline and have come forward to vote against the ministry. On a major issue like the election of the Deputy Speaker as many as 8 from among the followers of the ministry voted against the ministerial candidate and brought his fall. In a house of 59 the position of the opposition parties today stands as follows:-

Congress     10

League        9

Hindus        9

In addition to this, there are about 8 Muslims now sitting on the Ministerial benches who will in all probability vote against the ministry on any decisive issue. Thus the doom of the present Sindh Ministry is once against sealed if only the League party adjusts its position according to the circumstances now prevailing and exploits the situation.

The Congress party has already moved that Censor cuts, which will come up before the House after the 16th of March and if the League joins others in pushing the cuts through, the position of the ministry will indeed become very critical. The Hindu party which up till now was supporting the ministry has or late drifted towards the opposition. Two of its leading members have been continuously sitting in opposition and the rest are so disgusted with the ministry that on the last days of the session they absented themselves embolic, leaving the ministry to its fate. Evidently, they are dissatisfied over the inclusion of Sir Ghulam Hussain.

There is equal amount of discontent among the Muslim ministarialists also. It is believed the Muslim Chief Parliamentary Secretary has also tendered his resignation from office. The other two parliamentary secretaries while speaking in the Assembly have often been giving vent to their personal feelings which are not consistent with the policy for which the ministry stands. All these factors indicate that all is not well with the Budget session.

The Muslim League party is at the present moment committed to the spirit of the resolution recently passed by the Working Committee of the Provincial Muslim League to the effect that the League party will take no part in breaking or forming any ministry till its own position is so strong that it can take upon itself the responsibility of running the Government with the assistance of other parties agreeable to a common program.

The Working Committee will however meet a little before the opening day of the next session in order to consider the situation.

The Sindh Muslim League is meanwhile pushing forth its program of mass contact in right earnest.

It is an open secret that during these three weeks’ session the ministry has done many things which are ---------- the interests of the people for example the imposition of enhanced rates of assessment, refused do enforce the recommendations of the re-organization committee and bringing about of premature death of Mr. G. M. Sayed’s Bill for Relief to agriculturists from Indebtedness. These happenings have further intensified public indignation against the ministry.

K. B. Allah Bux is building lofty hopes on ever-shifting sands. The ministerial structure may ----- -------------------

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

President

All India Muslim League

Delhi

Respected Sir,

I beg most submissively to lay down the following few lines of my humble request with a sanguine none that they will meet your honour’s favourable and sympathetic consideration.

That Ali Muhammad Rashdi so called General Secretary of Sindh Provincial Muslim League, cherishes a personal grudge against me. The enmity of Rashdi has been acquired on account of a women named Shaher Banoo Alias Anwar, daughter of Musmat Arbab Wife of one Rasulbux motor driver. She was kept under wrongful confinement by Rashdi, at Lahore. After saving their lives they came over in Sindh with me as I was there with them. Rasulbux and submitted publication against Rashdi not only to Sindh Government but to Government of India too. In Sindh Rashdi had arranged to drop the child of the said Musmat Anwar & had shacked the ornaments etc, from her also. In those applications all the facts were given by Rasulbux. But Rashdi in the name of Muslim League Ministry, got himself saved by producing false documents a false statements. While I have got full detailed true proofs about the same at present too. Not only this but I know fully well what was done illegally with the woman in question.

As the applications were made by Rasulbux, Rashdi suspected that it was I, who had helped the Rasulbux to do it. Hence I fell pray of Rashdi. He got me arrested under Sindh Frontier Regulating Act on 12th January 1941 when Mr. T. T. Kothawala, the then District Magistrate of Sukkur was handing over the charge of the District. I was kept in Jail for more than two months. During my confinement Rashdi got me tropled very much. He and arranged were to best me in Sukkur Jail through Mr. Longman the Jailor.

Besides it would -------------------- so far, that I could not be released ----------------- bailable offence. I was not previous  convict.

I belong to ----- prespectable family of Jilani Sayed of Sukkur which enjoys a good social position in ---- town. Our fore-fathers have been rendering meritorious services to have been helping the Beniga British Governemnt in season and ouot of season at critical Junctures. We have been awarded ---------- Afrinames & Sords of Honour by the Governemnt. My Grand-father and maternal Uncle are Justice of Peace of Sukkur. I was given a gun License for British India a week ago by Mr. T. T. Kothawalla the District Matistrate, after it, I was the same man who was ordered to be arrested under Sindh Frontier Regulation Act ------- through Rashdi. Very strange.

A special Jirga was appointed for me in which all the members were the friends of Rashdi, so that I may be sent to Jail anyhow. All the members of the Jirga were outsiders but Act citizens of Sukkur.

My brother ------------------ applications for ------------------------ innocent but unfortunate at the time as I was the victim of Rashdi’s cruel hands. Not only this but Jamiatul-Muslimeen Sukkur passed a resolution on 6th Feb: 1941 in which they showed my innocence and made an appeal to the District Magistrate to release me. Excepting this deputations of leading citizens of Sukkur saw the District Magistrate for me a requested him to set me free as I was an innocent.

Moreover many papers such as “Alwahid” Karachi, “Pegham-e-Suleh” Garhiyasin, “Dawat-e-Islam” Sukkur & Nara-e-Haq” Sukkur, drew the attention of the authorities.

After this the present learned and just District Magistrate, S. Redley Esquire; after going through the papers minutely and considering over the matter closely honourably acquitted me on the 17th instant.

Ali Muhamamd Rashdi is very influential, powerful & highhanded man. He could do what ever he liked in the days of previous Muslim League Ministry. He is tyrant. I have suffered much at his cruel hands. Illahibux Dedo an intiate friend of Rashdi is a previous cconvict and Fatehali shah a dangerous man a near relation of Rashdi, Hashamuddin his brother and Wadero Muhamamd Panah Khan Dakhan help him to trouble me inavinly. They day and night run from one door to another to entangle me in some or the other false suit and --------- my life at any cost.

Rashdi is very dangerous man, a previous convict a swindler, a pick-pocket. He has been dealt with under section 110 I.P.C. ---- committing theft of Railway Tickets and deceit (420) etc, Giving false statements on oath in Courts such as to save his friend Illahibux Dedo a previous convict in a case of doecit.

I fear to be put in some difficulty at his hands. He is customary litigant ------- be can easily drag me in any difficulty by filling a false suit against me in Sindh, Punjab or any near else where I can not be able to manage to get any help.

I am not only the man who cries for his wrongful deeds but papers also write about him.

Sansarsamachar in its issue of 9th 1941, clearly writes, if Government wishes to keep safety in Sindh, Ali Muhammad Rashdi at once be arrested.

Sindh Observer, Karachi Daily, in issues of 8th March 1941 and New Sindh in its issue of 9th March 1941 clearly urge “Rashdi’s arrest”. They say that Rashdi be arrested otherwise it is likely that Rashdi may create  a breach of peace and there is every likely-hood of riots on behalf of Muslim League through Rashdi.

So he is not only dangerous to his community but awfully dangerous to public at large. He can raise a communal question at any time to fulfill his desires. So it is essential to see him not to go so far as to create a bad atmosphere in Sindh if he is allowed outside the from bars.

In the end I --------- request your honour to appoint a special Officer to enquiry--------- in to the deeds, which -------- Rashdi has been ------- will do in near future. All the secrets will be out thereby if proper steps are taken in the matter.

I have submitted applications on 25th, instant in which I have requested to the authorities to save me from the cruel clutches of Rashdi ------ keep the same application on record for future reference.

I beg to remain

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your letter of the qst October 1941 regarding your quota of Rs. 10/- towards the All India Muslim League but I am highly surprised new that a great province like yours has sent only Rs. 10/- as its quota. I do not know if it should be taken to mean that the income of ------ important province like yours should be not more than rupees of this is really so I should think that things in the province of Sindh are not as well as they were expected to be the appallingly low figure of Rs. 10/- indicates that very little has been done by the Provincial Muslim League to organize the province. Would you really believe that the All India Muslim League will be satisfied with a quota such as yours coming as from a great province like Sindh which means that the membership of the League should be very limited. I however hope that this is not the case. And when I hear from you next time I think it will be possible for me to have a better account of things than I have now had.

I shall be thankful if you will kindly send me an authentic statement of the income of your province under  various heads another particulars connected they with so that I may be in a position to know what really is the condition of the Provincial Muslim League in Sindh.

I hope that you will be kind enough to send me a heartening reply at your earliest convenience.

Thanking you very much for the same.

Yours faithfully,

Honorary Secretary

Hari problems in Sindh

The Council of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League hereby resolves that the policy of the Muslim League in this Province in respect of the Hari problem shall be an follows:

(a)      Permanent and inalienable tenancy rights be conferred upon the Haris in Sindh, and,

(b)      In the future Legislative Assembly of Sindh that will be constituted following revision of the constitution, such number of seate shall be exclusively reserved for the Haris as may be due to them on the basis of their actual population in the province.

Note:  This resolution have been referred to the Working Committee.

In views the fact that in ------------------ times and under present conditions every country and provinces has been trying to conserve its economic resource for its own people and to make provision for future ------- in its population, this council lays down the following policy for its own guidance as also for the guidance of the Sindh  Assembly Muslim League party:

1.       Agricultural lands in Sindh shall not be given in perpetuity or sold to Non-Sindhis, whatever the circumstances:

2.       Recruitment to Government services in Sindh shall be restricted only to Sindhis and domiciled Sindhis expect in the case of experts when their importation for furthering certain scientific and technical projects becomes absolutely inevitable; even in-------- respect, the Government may lay-out and introduce a plea whereby, within a certain period, Sindh becomes wholly self-contained; provided that in order to prevent the positively of Non-Sindhis being stealthily or otherwise included in that category, the term “domiciled” shall be so defined as to include only those persons who have personality settled down in Sindh for more than 25 years.

Note:-  This Resolution was referred to the Working Committee.

This council ----------- the Sindh Provincial Muslim League emphatically protests against the proposed assignment of Makhi lands to ree-sindhis on the basis of certain ------------------which are act only unsound but do positively offend against the sense of self-respect on the part of the people of Sindh. In the opinion of this Council, importation of foreigners under these conditions would create fresh difficult proteins in this province and would at the same time fail to produce the desired results. The parpose for which these lands are being given to outsiders can be achieved equally well, by letting their original owners have them subject to such conditions as the authorities may ----------------necessary to impose.

Dear Moulana Sahib.

I have been marking with keen interest the activities of the Congress. Muslim League and the Hindu Sabha the main political organizations of India. I did not take any active part or expressed my opinion any where. But now I ------------------ keep quite, as my heart is reaching, in view of the opinion expressed by a leading Hindu daily paper (Sansar Samachar) in its Editorial dated 25.04.1942. I attach a cutting from the same for your perusal. Please note that it is a congress paper.

Moulana Sahib, you are a religious soul. You have translated the Holy Quran, for the guidance of Muslims. Have you ever acted according to that, except offering your prayers, I mean the service to the community. Let me tell you frankly the service you have done to the community, and the general opinion about you among the Muslim masses of this province which is being governed by you, that you are the cause of ruin of Muslims here, and are out to remove the name of Muslims from the Indian History. You would than be happy to see your name published in the headlines of the Hindu papers as a Hero and the Destroyer of Islam.

Here are opinions of those with whom you have sympathy. They want Hindu Raj, or British Rule but they don’t want your community to rule in any part of your mother land. They prefer foreign rule in preference to your community.

Moulana, I may tell you, that I have every day dealing with Hindus and from that I have gathered, that whatever you may do for them, they would never trust you. Though you have been slaughtering Muslim rights to win their heart, but yet they suspect you. On no occasion they allowed you to interview Sir Cripps alone. Every time Jawaharlal Nehru accompanied you. The representatives of all other organizations interviewed Sir Cripps alone. Whatever may be the cause, they either suspected your honesty or they considered you incompetent to negotiate Congress terms. If the later version is correct then Moulana, you can yourself judge, why they made you president. Excuse me, Moulana, Mr. Junnah has rightly called you a “Show boy of the Congress”.

Do you not feel humiliated, Moulana, by expressing your pain and astonishment at the decision arrived at by the Madrasa Legislature Congress Party. Yes, it might have pained you because, you don’t want Muslims to be in power in any part of India. If Muslims come in power, the congress power is sure to decline and from where can you earn your bread and butter, if Congress goes.

The Resolution sponsored by such an old and season --- politician like Rajagopalachari, wherein he concedes that the Pakistan Scheme which allows the Muslim community in India to have its due share of responsibility of Government in the provinces, where the Muslims form a majority, should be an eye opener to you, Moulana, who have shut his eyes to entire cause of the community, and we Musslamns are ashamed to have Muslim leader like you, who trodden under his feet the legitimate rights of his own community.

Will you Moulana, tell me, what your congress has done for Muslims in India. I am sure, it must have done the same what you, a Muslim president of Congress did in Sindh. Your joined the Hindus and brought them in power. Now there is every day slaughter of innocent Muslims and their souls are praying to God to ruin those who brought the present policy and administration in force in Sindh.

Moulana, you must be feeing very happy in hearim every day murders of Muslims in this province. You did not rest when Hindus were killed in Sukkur Roits. You took the trouble of coming from Wardha to Sindh to consol Hindus have you ever thought of reviewing the situation now, when your co-religionist are being slaughtered and specially in the days of the Government which you founded in Sindh.

I can write pages over this, but I don’t’ want to waste your time, as Moulana, you have very little time to think for the welfare of Muslims. You are right in sympathizing with Hindus. Press is theirs, they can advertise you very well and right your name in bold type on front pages of Hindu papers, whereas Muslims cannot give you such wide publicity.

In the end I pray to God to bring you to the right path and give you strength to serve Hindu trodden Muslim community. God will relieve you from paying these homage’s to Wardha, from where all schemes cropp up the betterment of Hindus and achutes but none for the poor Muslims.

Yours Sincerely,

Translation of an article published in “Sansar Samachar” dated: 25.04.1942, under the caption ‘Rajaji where to.’

--------------------------------

Rajgopalachari, the brain of the Congress, is one of the greated personalities of India. In the year 1919, he left his profession of advocates and joined the politics, where along with his associates he made many sacrifices. The attitude which Rajaji has now adopted, will cut the root of his pass sacrifices as cut by a saw. We agree with this view of Rajaji that no confusion should be caused to British at this moment, but every Hindu and Muslim will look upon, with contempt the second view of his. Recently a meeting of Madrass Assembly Congress Committee was held, where  Rajago-palachari brought a proposal and recommended to a.i.c.c. that Muslim League demand of Pakistan should be conceded, if such demand is strongly made. Rajagopalachari, has so far not issued any statement to clear his position. It is clear from this proposal that Rajaji declares, for the sake of freedom of the mother land, the bitter dosa of Pakistan may be swallowed. He, with a view to break the chains of slavery of the mother land, wishes to concede to the demand of Pakistan, with pain.

But we are never prepared to agree to this proposal. Neither India could be divided into pieces, nor Indians are prepared to agree to this proposal. India has remained united since ages, and now Indians cannot bow their heads before an unreasonable demand and see their mother-land divided into pieces. Hindus are still prepared to remain as slaves in the hands of British, but will never bow before Jinnah. Hindus, do not freedom by bowing before a Muslim who has got a little following. They will acquire the same by their own ability, though it may come after half a century. We are certain that no member of the a.i.c..c. will corroborate with Rajgopalachari. If this demand is conceded to, there will be a civil war in India.

My dear Nawabzada Saheb,

I am indeed shocked to read of the sudden death of my esteemed friend and colleague, Sir Abdolla Haroon. I can never forget his personal kindness and courtesy to me during the years we have been members of the Assembly together. The kindliness of his nature the charity of his disposition, the sympathetic attitude which he brought to bear on everything and his deep knowledge of affairs coupled with the childlike simplicity of his nature greatly attracted me to him. It is indeed unfortunate that the cruel hand of death should have removed him in the midst of his usefulness.

I write to send you and your Party my sincere condolences in your great loss. I shall also be obliged if you will convey my sympathy to the members of the bereaved family. I regret I know none of them myself personally and so I am unable to write direct. I hope you will please not mind this trouble.

Trusting all is well with you,

I am,

Yours sincerely,

Respected Mahatmaji

Professor Ghansham’s gruesome report on the lawlessness in Sindh as published in the latest issue of the “Harijan” dated 24th May 1942 and your suggestions on the subject that the Congress members of Sindh and the ------------------ Khan Bahadur Allah Bux should form a peace brigade and settle down among the Hurs and risk their lives in ------ persuading these erring countrymen to desert from the crimes, have raised some misgivings in my mind. The Congressmen to proceed to Hur Districts and to ask the Hurs to desist from committing dacoities and arson is in my humble opinion to ask them to do something of which they are not capable at all.

                                             

At the time of separating the Province of Sindh from the Bombay Presidency all such matters should have been carefully weighed and foreseen. Sindh being educationally a backward province it was unsafe to practice constitutional experiments with Sindhi masses and all this lawlessness is but an off-shoot of this constitutional change.

  

BHAIBUND Shewa Mandal

Hyderabad, Sindh 26th May 1942

It was the Moslem League who sponsored this demand and was therefore responsible and the Congress equally so for supporting the demand of the League.

Now that the storm is on and the very fabric of the Sindh Province is being torn to pieces it is but proper that the heads of these two institutions should bear all the responsibility on their shoulders and not their subordinates who do not wield the same influence with the masses. Either you, yourself and Mr. Jinnah or the Congress President Moulana Abul Kalam Azad and Mr. Jinnah should now come down immediately to Sindh and at the risk of your own lives educate these erring countrymen to desist from committing these murders and dacoities and thus restore peace and order. Your very presence will create a healthy situation and two of you alone will be able to do as much as a government cannot do. The present Government will takes the only course open to them visit quell the disturbance with the same brute force as practiced by the Hurs themselves. You and Mr. Jinnah are the only two persons who could deliver the goods:

 Where is Mr. Jinnah and ----you?

I wonder if you will realize your responsibility and that of the Congress and respond to this appeal?

Mr. Jinnah whom I am addressing to day on the same subject will let me know what he can do in the matter, but whether he responds or not, I should like to have your independent decision.

In case your every undertake to come down to Sindh I think I can easily manage to persuade the Committee of the Bhaibund Shewa Mandal to make suitable arrangements for your stay in consultation with the local Congressmen.

Believe me, Sindh will never forget your services at this critical time and it is but sure that your stay in Sindh will not go in vain. We shall all welcome your presence and pray almighty that we shall enjoy your guidance for many more years.

Dear Sir,

I enclose a copy of the Resolution of the Working Committee Sindh Provincial Muslim League, on the present political situation in the province, with a request that you will please publish it in your esteemed paper in full, after translating it in Urdu.

Yours faithfully

Acting President,

Sindh provincial Moslem League,

Napier Road, Karachi

The working committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League has given its most earnest and serious consideration to the circumstances leading up to and the situation arising from the declaration on the 1st of June 1942 of Martial Law in more than half the Province and deems it its duty to take the necessary steps  to safeguard:

(1)      the constitutional rights of the people;

(2)      the economy of the Province; and

(3)      the civic rights of the citizens,

All of which, in the opinion of the Committee have been seriously infringed, threatened or affected. The Committee records here below its conclusions and appoints the following four of its members, namely: (1) K. B. Muhammad Ayub Khuhro,

(2) Shaikh Abdul Majid,

(3) Mr. Muhammad Hashim Gazder, &

(4) Mr. G. M. Sayed,

To wait upon H. E. the Governor of Sindh and discuss with him the issues involved.

The following are seems of the consequences of the extra ordinary step that has been taken by the authorities in promulgating Martial Law:

(i)       Complete breakdown of civil administration

(ii)      Resort to Martial Law all at once in such a large area in the hope of retrieving the situation;

(iii)    Serious likelihood of dislocation of the economic life of the Province and the inevitable consequences bordering upon a general famine, as a result of the operation of Martial Law on the lines on which it is being at present enforced; and

(iv)     Apprehension of Martial Law being extended to the remaining parts of the Province thereby making conditions still worse.

2.       In the opinion of this Committee, this disastrous crisis is the inevitable ----come of the anti-Muslim and unscrupulous policy of exploitation followed by the present ministers, resulting in a long chain of events that have been taking place during the period they have held the reins of Sindh administration. The Ministers have thereby given an indisputable proof of their incompetence and complete failure to maintain law and order.

3.       It is common knowledge that throughout their regime, the Ministers have taken no steps to alleviate the causes of the growing discontent amongst the masses or to reform their methods of administration, with the result that the situation has been steadily deteriorating. Finding themselves faced with the growing discontent and the serious consequences of their aimless policy which was solely directed against the best interests of the masses, the Ministers have now resorted to Martial Law and thereby surrender no less than half the Province to Military rule. The Committee is strongly of the opinion, which is shared by a very large and ever increasing section of the population, that the Ministers having been confounded by the growing number of murders, dacoities and other acts of lawlessness were compelled in their bewilderment and to save their face to take this action. As far as this Committee is aware, in the history of Provincial Governments in British India, this unhappy Province is the first to have achieved the invidious distinction of having more than half of its area subjected to Martial Law, while the so-called popular Ministers continue to retain their office. There are extensive provisions of the existing laws including the all embracing defense of India Rules that are calculated to be adequate to meet even such an abnormal situation as is created by war conditions, on the other hand the Government of India Act, 1935, lays down several provisions for effectively dealing in almost every conceivable manner with a situation that appears seriously to threaten the peace and tranquility of the Province. In spite of all this, the present Government have deemed it fit to promulgate Martial Law and thereby deprive the larger part of the very people from whom they are supposed to derive their present position as Ministers, of their fundamental rights. The position militates against the constitutional law and is quite incompatible with the very sprit of Provincial Autonomy. It is really strange that such a drastic and desperate stop should have been taken without sacking previous arrangements to see that the vast numbers of people whose fundamental rights were thereby going to be so seriously invaded were duly instructed and prepared in regard to the handicaps and hardships inevitable to the operation of martial law. It was further necessary to restrict the operation to only such a small area as was absolutely essential for the purpose in view and at the same time to ensure that the daily rounds of the peoples’ activities connected with their lawful livelihood were not interfered with and as far as humanly possible no innocent people were victimized. But the Committee regret to observe that no such precautions were taken. Even if the need for promulgation of Martial Law was real, the committee feels that if the present Ministers had any the slightest regard to the popular feeling or felt in any manner responsible to the people at large, they would have at the most sought military assistance without placing such a vast area all at once under the military rule, just as it had been done during the unfortunate Sukkur riots. But the hot haste with which a measure of such a drastic nature was precipitated upon the entire population in this vast area, in itself betrays a sad lack of sense of responsibility and unmakes the hollowness of their representative character. Standing as the Ministers therefore do so thoroughly self-condemned and exposed, this Committee which voices the feelings of the entire Muslim population of the Province when it emphatically urges upon H.E. the Governor to end this travesty of Provincial Autonomy and relieve the present Ministers of their office to which they have forfeited every possible.

4.       In view of the above, it is the earnest request of this Committee that H. E. the Governor of Sindh will be pleased:

(a)    to convene immediately a session of the Sindh Legislative Assembly to consider the problems of vital nature above referred to:

(b)      to appoint a Court of Inquiry to investigate and report upon the causes responsible for the failure of the present Ministers and their administration that led to the necessity of promulgation of Martial Law, without having tried the various remedies provided under the Government of India Act and the Defence of India Rules:

(c)    to take stops to see that Martial Law is so administered that while it enables to effectively deal with the turbulent and guilty elements it does not restrict the Lawful pursuits of agriculturists or the carrying out of legitimate activities of constructional nature and the exercising of civic rights by peace-loving and law-abiding citizens.

5.       The Committee further deems it necessary to draw the attention of the authorities to the handicaps of the citizens occasioned by the operation of Martial Law in the affected areas in particular so as to make it possible for agricultural operations to continue unhampered, as otherwise there is a serious danger to the economy of the Province which may be so adversely affected as to create a situation that may bring a wide-spread ruin upon the entire Province. Side by side with this, the Committee urges the necessity of suitable amending, relaxing or rescinding the restrictions imposed upon the population under the provisions of Martial Law so as to enable the people to carry on their social activities of peaceful nature and at the same time to enable the recognized political bodies to carry on their constitutional propaganda and organization work, especially when a bye-election for the Central Assembly seat is shortly to take place. Some of the difficulties which are being experienced by the people now and which need to be remedied immediately are the following:-

(a)    The ferries on the river be opened to traffic with suitable provisions to check the movements of undesirable persons so as to permit agriculturists, fire-wood sellers, cattle-owners and others whose livelihood makes it necessary to use the ferries.

(b)      The night movements of agriculturists be permitted in order to enable them to irrigate their fields if their turn for water happens to be fixed during night-hours or if they have to work their Parsian-whools for Jomar and other food-crops in lift lands or in non-barrage areas.

(c )     The carrying and use of hatchets and other implements necessary for agricultural operations be made possible.

(d)      The restrictions imposed upon the assemblage of five or more persons be suitably amended so as to permit the carrying out of agricultural operations such as canal-clearance division of crops, sloughing, transplantation, harvesting, etc. and performance of social duties connected with marriages, deaths, etc.

(e)      The order regarding wholesale disarming of people at one and the same time through the vast area now under the Military should be modified with suitable precautions to ensure their rightful use, as otherwise the bad characters may be able to carry on their unlawful activities without any fear of armed resistance from the disarmed population. In such village where the population exceeds 500 souls, at least six or more guns be permitted to be retained by the people for protection of the villages and towns according to the population of each such village or town. Complete disarming of the civil population will, in the opinion of the committee, create chaotic conditions and a very difficult situation in the mofussil, particularly when it may not be possible for the Military authorities to arrange their own patrol for each and every village, in such a vast area over twenty thousand square miles, controlled by them.

(f)       Those persons in this area who had a genuine cause of fear due to personal enmity and were therefore granted extra or special gun licenses by the civil authorities for the protection of not only their own person and property but also of their localities should be restored their arms and encouraged to render assistance to the police authorities or be provided with military or police guard at their own expense;

(g)      Where arms cannot be restored, effective protection for immediate aid in time of danger must be made;

(h)     With a view to achieving quick results, the restrictions and hardships inevitable upon the operation of Martial Law should be applied only to those areas which are the source of trouble. The area should therefore be confined only to (1) Shahdadpur and Sinjhoro Talukas of Nawabshah District and (2) Sanghar and Khipro Talukas of Thar & Parkar District and (3) Mirpur Mathelo and Ubauro Talukas of Sukkur District, (4) to the area within one mile on each side of the Railway line between Kotri and Reti on the K.W. Ry. And Khokharpar and Hyderabad Sindh on the J. Railway, (5) to the left bank of the river to check the traffic on the ferries and across the river, (6) the eastern border to check the movements of dispicious characters to and from the states of Jaisalmere and Jodhpur.

(i)       Local Advisory Committee be set up to advise and collaborate with the Military authorities in the course of their duties so as to eliminate the possibility of harassment of innocent persons through the machinations of local subordinate Police upon whose advice the Military may have to depend, being unaware of local conditions and approaches to cut-of-way places to be visited by them in the course of their rounds:

(j)       Large numbers of people who seek to migrate from the affected areas to places of their permanent residence or for personal safety or convenience may be enabled to do so, especially these who move each season across the river for harvest work in the Barrage areas and return to their homes on the close of the harvest; also those traders and their agents from Karachi who have to bring cattle by ----- across the river from the affected areas for the supply of neat and milk to the urban population of Karachi and Hyderabad be afforded easy and safe passage including the use of ferries to safeguard them from loss of money or personal inconvenience and also to ensure the regular supply of these needs of the urban population.

To

k.c.s.i.,c.u.e.,i.c.s.

Governor of Sindh Karachi

Yours Excellency,

At the request of the members of the Muslim League party, in the Sindh Legislative Assembly (of which I am the leader), I beg hereby formally to move your Excellency to be pleased to summon a session of the Sindh Legislative Assembly at an early date preferably before 15th August 1942, for the following reasons:

          (a)      Hon’ble the Premier promised on the floor of the House on the 10th March last, on the close of Budget session, to convene a meeting of the Sindh Legislative Assembly early in May. But although we are now in July i.e. two months have elapsed after the promised date, no session has so far been summoned, nor does there appear to be any prospect of his advising Your ‘Excellency to summon one in the near future.

(b)      After the Budget session i.e. during the interval of last 3 to 4 months, many important events have taken place which require to be debated and discussed on the floor of the house as early as possible.

(c)      Martial Law has been declared in about half the Province with effect from 1st June 1942, as a result of the collapse of civil administration. This being the most important and unprecedented event in the history of this Province, the Legislative Assembly ought to have an early opportunity to express its views on such an important event.

(d)      There are motions of adjournment pending on this issue of Martial Law; there are resolutions demanding an enquiry about the failure of this Government to maintain law and order in the Province; and there are many questions and bills, both private and Government, on the anvil of this Legislature, awaiting early disposal.

Under the provisions of section 62(2), Government of India Act 1935, it lies in the discretion of Your Excellency to summon the session of Legislative Assembly and therefore I am addressing this letter to Your Excellency with the request that you will be pleased to summon the session at an early date.

I may also add here for Your Excellency’s information that my party in the Assembly now commands a strength of 15 members.

I beg to remain,

Your Excellency’s

Most Obedient Servant,

Most Respected Sir,

          I am in due receipt of your kind letter of 6th February 1942, for which I am much grateful to you and am most proud of it. The letter is an encouraging one which has made me more active and I am taking keen past is Muslim League affairs besides my education.

Dear Sir, it is of course true that the awakening among Muslims of Sindh has been brought about the efforts of the League in past two or three years, but in comparison to the advancement and progress of the Hindu Community it is nothing. Sometimes I am also puzzled that first for all the division of the Muslims should be abolished in some belong to others to Khaka Jamaitul Ulema and so on. This division has fight among themselves is of course more destructive and first it all compiled must -----------------------------------------------------

          Respected Sir, Muslim League is lucky and fortunate enough in having you as your supreme commander and Muslims of India will always remember your activities, indomitable courage, persistent efforts about the uplift of the Mussalmans of India, the burden which you have taken in your life shoulders.

          Pakistan scheme is the last scheme which has ever been created. You have achieved what seemed to be quite impossible. We must congratulate Mr. Rajgopalacharya on his good and favourable views about the above golden scheme. As a student from me will may kindly convey my best respects to him in regard to his far-seeing vision whenever he happened to meet you. Will you kind. Sir, He is of course a hold man among to congressites who has stirred the congress circles, so we must help him in every way.

(Abdul Rashid arshad to liaquat ali khan)

Dear Sir, I had already request you to kindly send as any be respective of the Muslim League in Sindh to preach. The principle and doctrine of the League, you should know the fact that the poor village are acquainted with the name of the congress where as they don’t know what is Muslim League, and where it exists.

Few days ago I was quite glad that the deputation of Hon. Sir Nazimuddin and Nawab Mohammad Ismail Khan has come to Karachi, they will surely turnip to Hyderabad Sindh, but in vain and it was discouraging to us.

          So, I request you to very kindly convince the All India Session of the Muslim League this year in Hyderabad Sindh.

          In the end I pray for your long life and ever-increasing prosperity and further I pray that the Muslim League may flourish day by day and year light and their worthy shadow of your supreme authority.

          I am awaiting anxiously about your kind and encouraging letter.

With best respect.

I am, your loyal follower

Sincere

Your most Obediently

6th July 1948

Mr. Jinnah

Many thanks for your letter received a week back. I much regret the delay in reply, as I was some time busy with the all India Muslim League Civil Defense Committee and other subsequent meetings of the Provincial Committee.

I have already sent you a copy of note to the Governor of Sindh. As regards the interview of our deputation with the Governor on 15th of June last in connection with the points specified in our note, was not very encouraging. Now the position here has greatly changed. The Ministers have completely surrendered to the Governor and they have even given in writing to the Governor to get Martial Law applied to half the Province. In that area it is practically the rule of the Governor and the Major General, who is the Administrator for Martial Law. As regards the other half, these too in all vital matters, Governor has been over-ruling the Ministers, whenever it suits his purpose. The Governor was not inclined to withdraw Martial Law, nor is he keen at out summoning the Assembly session in the ------ future. I have subsequently sent him a definite requisition to summon the Assembly Session, the copy of which I enclose herewith.

The All India League Deputation headed by Nawab Ismail Khan came and stayed for 3 days discussed 4th ----------- Province of Sindh, with all of us, and have been fully apprised of the situation here. They will, I am sured acquaint you with the situation in its true perspective. They have also understood fully what ------------ is and how --------------. All League workers here, aware ------------------ with his ways. He is the agent of bureaucracy -------- many people have strong suspicions that he is all the regular pay of the Intelligence Department.

---------------------------- with the object of acquainting you, about the meeting of the Provincial League Council, held in May last, I am sending you herewith a note for your perusal. We are seriously contemplating to dis-qualify him, unless he repents for his misdeeds and promises to be sincere to the cause and the organization. He writes one thing in his paper and acts quite the contrary, as a member of the League Council here, or as an individual.

You have expressed your inability to come to Sindh in ---------- future, but we feel that your visit at an early date is necessary. I have also been asked by the Working Committee and also they have passed a resolution to request you to convene a meeting of the All India Working Committee, and if possible even of League Council in Karachi, during August next. I hope you will kindly accede to our request, as that we will give considerable impetus to the League organization work here, and also Yousif’s bye-election for the Central Assembly.

With kind regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Dear Sir,

I am sending you some of the Resolution passed by the Provincial Muslim League Working Committee held in Karachi between 12th and 14th instant with a request that you will kindly look into these and take necessary steps to help us.

With best wishes,

Yours faithfully,

Napier Road Karachi

Resolution No: 1,

The Working Committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League fully endorses the Resolution passed by the working committee of the All India Muslim League on 20th August 1942 at Bombay on the present political situation. It further assures the Quaid-e-Azam and his working committee that the Muslim League Organization of this Province will do its best to act up to the spirit and letter of the said resolution.

Resolution No: 2.

The Working Committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League regrets to observe that in spite of repeated grandiloquent claim put forth by the British Ministers that the constitution was flourishing in five provinces in India (including Sindh), no session of the Sindh Legislature has been called through out the current year barring the brief Budget Session of March last which perhaps could not be avoided on account of the mandatory nature of the Law operating in respect of such sessions. During this period Sindh has been confronted by problems such as she had never before encountered and which the people’s representatives were fully entitled to disuses on the floor of the Legislature. There were ------- and the subsequent promulgation of Martial Law which  still continues; there were floods followed by a Public outcry for an enquiry into the causes which led to the bursting of Bachao Bunde; there were complaints as to the partiality and gross ------- shown in rendering proper relief to the suffering multitudes, there were questions connected with the general political upheaval in the country of which Sindh but an integer part; there were certain problems associated with the Sindh-Punjab dispute over the waters of the Indus not to spelt of the fact paralyeation of the legislature in this arbitrary fashion had deprived the country’s chosen representatives of all opportunities of exercising their most vital constitutional rights, such as the of exercising control over the ministry and of putting forth interpellations and moving resolutions and adjournments.

The committee while registering its most emphatic protest against this deliberate effort to keep the constitution a frozen state, urgent upon the Government to convene a session of the Legislature forthwith to consider the entire situation which confronts the province.

Proposed by Shaikh Abdul Majid

&

Seconded by Sayed Hassan Bux Shah

Resolution No: 4.

The Working Committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League deems it expedient to invite the attention of the Premier to the effect that the funds collected by him and by the Chairman of the Flood Relief Committee (For the Flood Relief Work) need to be disbursed through a joint Committee representative of all important organized parties in the Province so that all possibilities of the charge of exploitation of these funds for party purposes are obviated. Further more in view of the fact that Sindh has had the misfortune of experiencing the calamity of floods on an unprecedented scale, it is just and proper that the Provincial and Central Government should make substantial contribution towards the orientation of these funds which are to be utilized in rendering relief to the sufferers in constructing the areas that have gone through this terrible process of devastation. In the opinion of this Committee however such stupendous task cannot be tackled on the strength of ordinary Provincial Revenue or by means of Private contribution and consequently it is imperative that the Government of Sindh sould raise a loan for this vital purpose on which hinges the future of this vast act. So far utilization of these funds is concerned, the committee is clearly of the view that the principle put forth in the first part of this resolution viz. setting up of a representative committee to control these funds shall have to be extended to this as well.

Resolution No: 5.

The Working Committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League wants to make it clear as a matter of principle, that in case of react calamities such as Sindh has just experienced in the shape of floods, it is the exclusive duty and sole responsibility of the Government to help the affected community to come into its own, an raise it to the original level of life, irrespective of the consideration whether the public charity suffices for it or not. In the Sindh case this principle has greater applications and force in view of the fact that ------- facts there are sound grounds, not so far disproved by any Judicial Finding to believe that Sindh owes in a large measure, thin misfortune to the wrong handling of flood situation by their own functionaries. This meeting is further of the opinion that the relief sanctioned for the flood sufferers is absolutely inadequate to meet the requirements of sufferers and this meeting protests against stopping of all relief measures in Sukkur and Larkana Districts prematurely. This meeting therefore suggests the following measures which should be adopted by Government for giving relief to the sufferers and the alleviation of distress amongst them until the next Rabi crop.

1.   From supply of food to these who are unable to work for themselves.

2.   From supply of fodder.

3.   Free supply of seed.

4.   Takavi leens to enable the agriculturists to erect there huts, purchase of bullocks and reclamation of their lands.

5.   Suspension of all decrees whether of Civil Courts or of Co-Operative Societies or recovery of all Government dues.

6.   General permission for cultivating Ne-Kabuli lands.

7.   Free supply of fuel and timber to the sufferers, more particularly small khatedars and peasants for construction of their huts.

8.   General remission for lands that have been flooded as well as remission of old assessment arrears.

9.   Remission of old and out-standing p.w.d. and Revenue Fines.

 Resolution No.6

This meeting of the working committee of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League has carefully considered the reports from various sources including the statement made by Hon’able R. S. Gokaldas in the press relating to the causing which have led to the advent of the flood calamity and demands that tribunal be set up by Government to enquire  into and educate upon at an early date in regard to the following points:-

1.       The reasons why the Old Sukkur Begari Bund was cut to soak the loop Bund when the river was abnormally high inspite of the protests from the inhabitants of neighboring villages.

2.       Whether the old Sukkur Begari bund did have sluices for the purpose of soaking New Bund.

3.       Whether the New loop Bund was constructed in accordance with the Indus River Commission specifications.

4.       Who were than constructers for the loops Bund whether they executed their work efficiently and properly or their faults were connived at.

5.       Why was the flood water appeared into the Right Bank Canals and it was not allowed to take its natural course, in excess of the --------------------------- canals to carry such volume of water.

6.       Why deliver ----------- without justifications, as un-necessary discriminatory and actuated by a feeling of ------ --------------------- river in the right bank canals at various places thereby flooding and devastating large areas in Larkana, Sukkur and Dadu  District.

7.       Why cuts in the Old Bund ways not ------- when soaking process had been completed and the neighboring people were willing and anxious to --------- the water level had for some short interval receded.

8.       Whether Government of the Province had received warnings from Peshawar  and other places in the effect that heavy floods were coming down to Sindh and if no what precautionary measures. Government took to meat the -----------

9.       Whether the ------liable to be affected by the deliberate cuts into the canals or bunds were given adequate notice to evacuate.

10.     What is the extent of losses suffered by the Government as well as people thus affected.

         

It is further urged that all those people who have suffered by loading their valuable crops, buildings, cattle and other moveable and immoveable property as a result of these breaches and cuts in the Sindhs and ------ should be adequately ------ by the Government and a special officer of not loss than a collector’s rank be appointed to estimate these losses for the purpose of payment of the compensation.

Resolution No. 8.

The committee of the following persons is empowered to deal with the question relating to the Martial law and report the result of its efforts to the Working committee within two months.

My dear Quaid-e-Azam

I am enclosing herewith for your information a few cuttings of “Newspaper” Daily Gazette”, which are self explanatory.

I do not know how far these gentlemen of Sindh Provincial Muslim League are justified. I do not like to add any thing more except to draw your attention.

With regards and respects.

Yours sincerely

P. S. I send you herewith a telegram in original, addressed to you.

Sir ghulam’s triumph

The new ministry is a personal triumph for Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah. By a single stone he has bagged two birds perhaps three. Having effectively broken Mr. Jinnah’s hold over the Sindh Provincial Muslim League, thus paying back the Muslim League Dictator in his own coin for having dismissed him from the League some years ago, Sir Ghulam Hussain has now managed to break the morale of the Hindu Independent Party and weaned away from its fold two colleagues to complete his Ministry. Perhaps Rai Sahib Gokaldas and Dr. Hemandas were swayed by Mr. Vinayakrao Damodar Savarkar’s appeal to Sindh Hindus to co-operate with its Premier unconditionally. Nevertheless, Rai Sahib Gokaldas at least will have to share the brunt of public criticism along with his colleague Pir Illahi Baksh in that, like the Education Minister, he could not stick to his “principle” or personal loyalty for even a week after his loud avowal. The Rai Sahib was one of the four signatories to that historic memorandum which His Excellency considered and treated as ministerial resignations. Unlike Pir Sahib, his Hindu colleague waited for the ink of his signature to dry somewhat before he kicked Mr. Allah Baksh and rushed into his successor’s arms. It is to be hoped that Sir Ghulam Hussain at least will be able to command the personal loyalty; through thick and thin, of his two new recruits – Pir Sahib and Rai Sahib. Even though the Hindu Ministers do not enjoy the confidence of their party within the Legislature there is no reason why they should not win between now and the budget session provided of course they do some really constructive work for Sindh’s betterment. The present Ministry has proved that it is moonshine to talk of a complete breakdown of the Constitution in Sindh.

Mr. Rashdi Editor and Proprietor of “The Muslim Voice” has published in his paper of 23rd May 1942, a wrong and mis-leading version of the meeting of the Sindh Provincial Muslim League Council held under my chairmanship on 17th of May last, at Karachi. It is unfair to me and to the members of the council to misrepresent the case to the public in this fashion. I was not in favour of washing dirty linen in public, but by writing this article Mr. Rashdi has compelled me to expose the real motive of his, in playing this deep game inside the League circle. By now the members of the League council have been fully acquainted with the machinations and pretentions of Mr. Rashdi. The whole idea of Mr. Rashdi was to create misunderstanding and rift among the members of the Muslim League and particularly among the office bearers. He found a good sent opportunity in the death of Sir Haji Abdullah Haroon, and his object was to exploit the young, and naturally, inexperienced son of the revered soul Mr. Yousif. It is reported that Mr. Rashdi made a secret understanding with K. B. Allah Bux, the Premier, on the following day of Seth Sahibs death, that he would render service to the Khan Bahadur’s brother Haji Moula Bux, who had, immediately after the death of Seth Sahib, declared his intention to contest the Central Assembly seat, by creating rift among the members of League commend in Sindh.

----------------------- end in view Mr. Rashdi came to inter --------------------- of May i.e. 2 days after the death of ------------------------------------- that he eas a candidate himself for -------------------that I should support him. He again saw me -------------------- on 3rd of May in the same connection ------------------------occasion, read out to me his manifesto which he ------------------ to issue in his paper, in support of his own candidature. I wondered at his ego. I, however politely held him that although I was not a candidate, I thought tolls important office should be help by -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- action with this worthy organization. I told him that although I was the Senior Vice President of the Provincial Organization and in ordinary course of things, I should be elect considering my past record and services to the League, I would not like to offer myself, as I was already the Leader of the Assembly Party and would not like to hold two important posts at one and the same time and I should like therefore, one of the three gentlemen viz. Messrs G. M. Syed, Shaikh Abdul Majid, or Gazdar to be selected for this office. That is usually the encase in every province and I did not see any special reason why that procedure should be departed from, in the present case. I also said to Mr. Rashdi that he had not the remotest chance of success.

I again got a letter from Mr. Rashdi dated 8th of May, in this connection, but I made no reply to him. He thus, finding his chances to be nill, modified his plan and started egging on Mr. Yousif Haroon to contest. I did not favour the proposal of Mr. Yousif, being the President, for the following reasons:

(a)     President-ship of Muslim league or any other organization is not a he-riditory office, which must stay in the family.

(b)     Mr. Yousif was yet young and less experienced as compared to those who had served the organization for many years zealously honestly and selflessly. Naturally such persons should have preference over Mr. Yousuf and it was in the interest of Mr. ------------------ himself, that he should gain experience ------------------------------ under the guidance of an experienced------------------------------ Vice President or Secretary of the ---------------------------------------

-----------------The office of President of this organization has ------------------------------- common with the membership of Legislative Assembly. ------------------------------- things are quite independent of each other. In the field of legislature, many young men have entered and have grown grey in gaining experience, as members of the Legislature. To quote my own example, I was hardly 25 years, when I entered Bombay Legislative Council and my opponents had even disputed my age, asserting that I was only 23. I have by now gained uninterrupted experience of 18 years in this direction. There are many such examples available all over India.

I also cannot appreciate the logic that because Mr. Yousif cannot be chosen as the President of Sindh Provincial Muslim League, he does not becode a fit person to be member of the Legislature. Mr. Rashdi and those who share his views, should remember that Mr. Yousif Haroon is not being recommended to the Muslim electors of this Province on grounds that this post of Central Assembly membership is his heriditory right, or that he will be elected as President of the Provincial League, therefore the electors, must vote for him; but as ------------------ of fact, he is recommended to the electorate on ground that, the Muslim League considers him, to be the most deserving candidate for the Central Assembly seat and that his own and his late father’s services entitle him to occupy this position.

Coming to the subject matter of this article itself, when most of the members of the League arrived at Karachi by 15th of May i.e. 2 days before the date of the meeting, it was found that Mr. Yousif was being induced by Mr. Rashdi to offer himself for Presidentship and canvassing was being done chiefly by Rashdi Brothers for him. Our idea was to select Mr. Shaikh Abdul Majid for the most, but as the circumstances were not quite favourable for him at that time, my name was at the 11th hour proposed by Mr. G. M. Sayed to this Mr. Rashdi moved an amendment proposition the same of Mr. Yousif. The result was quite ----------------------- headed by Mr. N. M. Sayed thought, lest ------------------ to person like Mr. Rashdi to carry on ------------------- Mr. Yousif, in the assembly election on this --------------------- considered more advisable to defect the election ----------------------for some months, till atleast the election of ---------------------- membership was over. Large majority of members ------------------------ appreciated that argument and the proposal was carried.

I wish to inform Muslim Public of Sindh, that thank God Rashdi efforts to create rift among us, have failed; and every membership connected -------------------- the Muslim League Organization in any ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for the Central Assembly viz. Mr. Yousif Haroon, as the prestige and honour of the great Muslim League Organization is --------------------- and it will indeed prove to be a battle royal between the League and anti-League forces in the Province.

Respected Sir,

The people of Sindh are really very fortunate to have your goodness here in Sindh and we all expect you good luck. You are already aware of the Muslim conditions in Sindh and their woes especially in government service Mr. Allah Bux did what he could do to harm them in order to achieve his own objects and helped the Hindus all-round.

We has also brought to your notice out of many instances one case of a Muslim of the Excise Department Mr. Nabi Bux Excise Inspector and sent the copy of the letters to the President Muslim League Sindh for justice. But up to this time it appears that nothing is being done to redress the grievance. Therefore we humbly request you in the name of Allah kindly to send for the full case and have a perusal yourself and thus redress the grievance of the aggrieved and earn their blessings for which God will reward you.

Yours obediently

The Honourable Premier and the Minister for Law & Order tell the Congressmen and other friends of mine like Mr. Amin Khoso, that it was I who was responsible for their arrest and that I was reporting against the Congress Leaders. It won’t be surprising for me, if the same Ministers are misrepresenting me as the Agent of the Congress, before the authorities.

However, I once more assure you that I stand by the program and Policy of the Communist Part of India. I am not in favour of illegal “Strikes” I stand for increased production and efficient prosecution of War.

An open letter to Mr. M. A. Jinnah,

Winning of Pakistan

Dear Mr. Jinnah

I write this letter to you as from a Sindhi to a Sindhi to know how you intend to liberate Muslim or a Hindu by getting him Independence by the Pakistan way or otherwise. On this question I who am a common Hindu has same interest as a common Muslim and are equally interested in Independence which means for us life and bread otherwise slavery and stones.

Your definite answers to the following questions will make Hindus at least understand you as also Muslims may know fully your plan of action in winning freedom for them.

1.       Do you think the Britisher will ever concede to Pakistan of whatever kind you imagine on your demand alone without the agreement of Hindus.”

2.       Do you think the Britisher does not know that you are playing the policy of the Bat wanting Hindus to agree to Pakistan to force the Government for Indian ------ and in the same breath wanting Pakistan from the British to feast it on Hindus?

3.       Do you think your more insistence on Pakistan without any forcing actions from the Muslims, can got you Pakistan from the British?

4.       What do the British gain by giving you Pakistan? Your party --------------------------------- gives them support in the present war mostly but the Muslim Provincial Governments, secondly Government is able to got Muslim League puppet Governments to be plied as the Covernor the auto ------------------ wants. What further gains the Britisher wants from you to give you Pakistan so that he signs his own death warrant to be “kicked out” from Pakistan area?

5.       Do you -------------------- the Britisher lengths in his sleeves at the spangles movements of both Muslim League and Hindu Sabha which are identical? Each bids time till the war is over each wants provincial -------- and directly and indirectly help in war. The one wants Pakistan and the other wants Akhund Hindustan but in return they get defense of India Act, Kalo of Ordinance and ---------------------- for the present and sham of Independence with high sounding names of dominion status for the future.

6.       Do you realize if you come to an agreement with Mr. Sarvarkar, who imitates you perfectly in all your tactics, you can force the heads of the Government by your combined actions, not threats, to give Freedom to both Hindus and Muslims and then they can not laugh in their sleeves but will part with lower?

7.       Are you aware Mahatma Gandhi or the Congress will bless any agreement between you and Mr. Survarkar for communal settlement whether Pakistan or otherwise? But is it that you find Mr. Sarwarkar a tough customer and find Gandhiji a Nationalist and more emendable?

8.       Do you think that Congress can not play the same game as you are playing and more affectively with power that they had in seven Provinces? Do you then realize that the Congress knows the British will never part with power unless forced that is why they have invited suffering for themselves? Has not the Congress realized that Britisher played the Hindus against the Muslims after the fall of Moghul Empire and now they want to play the Muslims against the Hindus in their Movement for Freedom not for Hindus but for Muslims as well and have thus gone above communalism?

9.       Is it not possible for you to meet Gandhiji by your own request to the Government as not a leader of Muslims meeting a leader of Hindus which role Gandhiji refuses to play, since he does not wish to be sectarian which is so much the better for you, because he realizes 2 plodders for two communities can not come to terms on selfish basis, selfish for their communities, but you as a human being and a leader can ------- his on the common ground of his being also a human being and a leader, both having vest influence to find out what is best for Hindus and Muslims and not by predicating whole issue of Pakistan which will be hanging as a sword against -------- discussion which may even control --------nearest to Pakistan.

10.     Do you realize if you discuss with Gandhiji for betterment of India Hindus and Muslims and others in a spirit of give and take is two ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swarj for Hindus or Muslims ---------stones to act for both of ----------- then you can bring about --------of plan and action which can facco the British to part with -------- here and now.

11.     Dear Mr. Jinnah do you realize that instead of being a conscious bully by your insolent attitude to Gandhiji, Congress and Hindus you are making freedom of Muslims as well record further and further traitor to Muslim cause? Can you -----------------------

Muslims and Hindus if you come on the stage with honesty sincerity and true velour to sacrifice and to act that you can win independence by Unity with Hindus instead of relying on the British Baronets to make you the Moghal ruler of Pakistan under their patronage which will mean amply rule of a -------? Do you realizes that without coming to a settlement with Hindus, you can not move an inch towards your goal or independence some is the fate of Hindus if they do no come to terns with Muslims there is no independence for them but you need not lay on the anxiety of Hindus to have early independence and knock down your best terms because Hindus also know that Muslims want independence to live. If you procrastinated to get better terms you will not get them but you will starve your Muslims more and after all they will not get in their hungry mouths swarajeven after war, if you stand alones. Will not spirit of compromise goodwill and little love for your neighbor give you independence earlier and surely?

At present are you not allowing the British to behave like a proverbial monkey who came to decide how the two cats (Hindus and Muslims) are entitled to an equitable share of their booty but at all himself except giving only a crumb to each cat?

Yours truly

To,

The President,

All India Muslim League

Subject:      District Muslim Election Tharparkar.

Sir,

We the undersigned beg to state the following facts for favour of your careful consideration.

1.       Hon. K. B. Khuhro, President Provincial Muslim League notified through the columns of the Daily Alwahid, that all the Primary branches of Muslim League in this Province, should enroll members of Muslim League before the 1st February 43 and the election of Office bearers should take place between the 1st and the 10th February 1943. The intimation of all these Primary branches was to be sent to the Provincial Muslim League Office Karachi, with the list of the names of the members alongwith their membership farm and 1/5 of the subscription, by the 15th February 1943.

2.       Due to the notice, above mentioned persons in particular and other Muslim League workers in the Distt. In general worked for Muslim Organization and their best to increase the no. so much so that on the 1st February 43, Syed G. M. Shah, submitted 5610 members with 1/5 share of subscription of amounting to Rs. 140/- to the Provincial Office Karachi, and K. S. Ghulam Muhammad Chowdery 1000, members i.e. 6610.

3.       In the meanwhile, the President extended the period of enrolment and it was notified in the Daily Alwahid of the 1st February that the last date of intimation to the Provincial Office was fixed for the 20th February 1943. It was further added in this notification that any Primary branch, failing to intimate the no. of enrolled members according to rules and the names of the office bearers, before the 20th February 1943, will not be recognized for the purpose of participating in the current year Distt. Muslim League ________. Due to this notification, Syed G. H. Shah submitted 7055 members with 1/5 share of subscription amounting to Rs.175-14-0 to the Provincial office on the 18th February 1943, and Hafiz Ali Muhammad 1000 members from Digri Taluka before the due date i.e. 8035 in all.

4.       On the 27th February 1943, Mr. G. M. Syed, Chairman, Muslim League Organization Committee Sindh and Syed G. H. Shah, went to the Provincial Muslim League Office Karachi and no their inquiry they were inform by the office clerk Mr. Muhammad Bakhsh, that only the above mentioned enrolled members so far have been intimated to the Provincial Office.

5.       About this ______________ to know after the 27th February 1943, that Fakir Muhammad Mangario had started recording names of bogus members and as understood, actually submitted 2820 members with 1/5 share of subscription amounting to Rs: 72-8-0 on the 30th February 1943, which was after the due date. It will not be out of place to bring to your kind notice that he (Fakir Muhammad) did not submit the names of members with membership forms duly signed as required by the rules and the notification of the President Provincial Muslims.

6.       According to the notification of the President Provincial Muslim League, no member of the Primary branch was to be permitted to participate in the Distt. Muslim League Election, if the names of the office bearers etc. were not intimated to the Provincial office of the 20th February 1943. But it is curious and still inexplicable as to why the president accepted these branches and authorized them to participate in the Distt. Election.

This process was continued up to the 20th March 1943, and by this time Fakir Muhammad submitted another installment of about 1500 members, without submitting the list of the names of the members with membership forms and 1/5 share of the subscription to be paid to the provincial office as required by the rules and regulations. In other words all these names submitted by him after due date, were not supposed to participate in the Distt. Annual election for this year. We in the mean while continued enrolling members and by the 20th March, we had submitted another quota of about 10000, members with 1/5 share of subscription amounting to about Rs. 250-0-0 according to the rules.

7.       There were two hundred forty three representatives of primary branches belonging to our side upto the 20.3.1943 and one hundred ninety five representatives belonging to Fakir Muhammad Mangrios.

8.       According to the notification of the President, Provincial Muslim League the date for the meeting of District Muslim League election was to be communicated to the Provincial Office, Karachi by the Distt. Muslim League President and therefore K. S. Ghulam Muhammad Choudhry President fixed 20th March 1943 and communicated the same to the Provincial Office on this the Provincial President agreed and notified through the columns of Daily Al-Wahid of the 10th March 1943 and also intimated all the representatives individually that the meeting was fixed for the 20th March 1943 for the annual election. Having known the fixture of the meeting, Fakir Muhammad Mangrio with a view to serve his own motives and to create a party feeling got fixed the 15th March 1943 for the annual election with the consultation of the Vice President K. B. Ghulam Muhammad Wasan and issued notices with his signature to the representatives of the primary branches. Due to this ________________ attitude of Fakir Muhammad Mangrio the Secretary, K. S. Ghulam Muhammad Chaudhry President protested to the Provincial authorities and his fixture of election was allowed to stand.

9.       On the 20.3.1943 on the day of election about four hundred forty representatives of various primary branches came to participate in the election and due to this big number the President with the consolation of Mr. G. M. Sayed M.L.A. Chairman Muslim League Organization Committee, Sindh who was deputed by the Provincial authority issued permits to all the representatives of the primary branches so that the non-members should not participate in the election. Mr. G. M. Sayed and other members and well-wishes tried their best to influence the parties to come to an amicable settlement but unfortunately due to the unreasonable and adamant attitude of Mr. Fakir Muhammad, these efforts could bear any fruit.

10.     Before the members could enter the hall Fakir Muhammad Mangrio wanted entry of so called new members to participate in the election and submitted an application to the President. But this was objected by some of the members on the ground that these member were not legitimate to participate in the election. Therefore the President having found strange in these objections and with the consolation of Mr. G. M. Sayed refused entry to the so called new members. On this Fakir Muhammad Mangrio ignoring the decision of the President asked the non-members to occupy the meeting hall in clear defiance to the authority of the President. At this critical stage fortunately the Collector and the D.S.P. arrived at the scene and in their presence the President apprehending the breach of peace in the Martial Law area, with the approval of both the parties adjourned the meeting since die and informed the Provincial Muslim League accordingly in writing requesting further that a suitable date for the subsequent election may be communicated to him.

11.     Subsequently it came to light that Fakir Muhammad Mangrio with his friends at K.B. Ghulam Muhammad Wasan’s place at the same evening and jotted down some names as office-bearers for the new year and proceeded to Karachi to submit these names to the President personally. To our surprise these names were published in the Daily Al-Wahid as the office bears of the Tharparkar District Muslim League.

12.     On this telegram of protest and appeals were made to the Provincial authorities not to recognize this bogus election. This matter was brought before the provincial Working Committee which met subsequently where both the parties were given opportunity to explain. A sub-committee of three persons Messrs Hon; K. B. Khuhro, G. M. Sayed and Jaffar Khan Jamali was formed to decide the disputed matter amicably.

13.     But so far the sub-committee has taken no steps in this matter. Meanwhile the date for the Provincial Muslim League was fixed for the 6th June 1943 and subsequently changed for the 13th June 1943 and the invitations had been issued to the bogus members to participate in this election by the President.

From the above facts one comes to the following irrisistable conclusions.

1.       Enrolment and recognition of bogus members for the purpose of election by the Provincial President.

2.       Recognition of illegal meeting inspite of the letter of the President Distt. Muslim League Tharparkar and various appeals and telegrams.

3.       Deliberately keeping in abeyance the functioning of the sub-committee appointed by the Working Committee to decide the disputed matter.

4.       Without deciding the disputed matter, fixing the date for the Provincial election and issuing the invitations to the bogus members to participate in the Provincial election.

5.       All these irregularities, illegalities and improprietories were committed intentionally with a set purpose of throwing out sincere and honest workers and replace them with a group persons to help the present Provincial President in all matters indiscrimately to suit his conveniences.

The responsibilities of creating this split and breaking the solidarity in Tharparkar Muslim League in Particular and in the Province of Sindh in general lies exclusively at the doors of the Present Provincial President and men like Fakir Muhammad Mangrio.

Therefore we appeal to you to sift matter and take such steps which may be conducive to the solidarity and advancement of the Muslim league Organization in the Province of Sindh on healthy lines.

We beg to remain,

Sir,

Your most obedient servants,

Plight of Sindh Zamindars

(By Mr. Chuharmal Partabral)

(From Sindh Observer issue dated 14th June 1943).

Before the separation of Sindh, whenever revision of land revenue settlement was about to be effected, Zamindars were invited to submit their objections against the proposals within two months. For the benefit of the Zamindars, the Settlement Report was deposited in the Mukhtiarkar’s office together with a vernacular précis of the same bringing out “all important facts and reasons for the proposed alterations.” At the same time all the appendices alongwith the above précis were published in each ‘deh’ (revenue village) and some copies of the same were kept even for sale.

Bombay Government had actually laid down this procedure in their G. Rs. After Sindh became a separate democratized and autonomous province, Zamindars, like every one else, have been expecting greater facilities than those enjoyed under the old bureaucrat Bombay Government. Very appropriately, therefore, at the time of the last revision of the Barrage settlements, Government of Sindh made even the Settlement Reports available for sale, so that the interested persons could peruse the same in their private study and take some skilled help in necessary, for submitting considered objections.

Recently the Government of Sindh have undertaken the stupendous task of revising all at one time the settlement of as many as 57 talukas. Objections were invited within two months. But the mockery of the whole show was that in utter disregard of the prescribed procedure, the Settlement Reports were kept “confidential.” Even the vernacular parcels of the reports and the statistical appendices were not published. All that the authorities did was to publish a bare summary of their proposals without adducing any reasons whatsoever for the proposed alteration, and invited objections thereon.

After half the period allowed for objections had clasped, Government cancelled the proposals regarding cotton and substituted them by others for higher taxation. The logical consequence of such a step should have been to give a fresh period of two months for objections against the new proposals. But Government stuck to the first period tenaciously without extending it even by a single day.

Zamindars have been naturally greatly perturbed at the Government’s driving a coach and four through the prescribed procedure in this fashion.

Never before have the Zamindars been faced with such drastic alterations and staggering enhancements in the assessment rates as now. For four ‘dehs’ (Salar, Fazalabad, Doro Ghulamali and Ahsanwah) of taluka Garhi Yasin (Non-Barrage), that are at present paying for a rice crop Rs. 3-8 per acre, a maximum, rate of Rs. 16-10 has been proposed i.e. 460% of the present rate. Monstrous!

The maximum rate on rice crop so far levied even in a Barrage taluka is only Rs. 6 per acre. But according to the present proposals, some talukas, on completion of soil classification, will have to pay as much as Rs. 22-10 per acre which with Local Cess will increase to about Rs. 25 per acre.

Bombay Government had made it a general rule that the rates of enhancement in a taluka or group of ‘dehs’ were not to exceed 33%. The Bombay Land Revenue Assessment Committee recommended in 1926 reduction of this limit to 25%. Contrast with these the present enhancements proposed by our people’s government.

At a rough estimate the total enhanced revenue that the present proposals will squeeze out of the Zamindars will run into tens of millions a year i.e. hundreds of millions in the guaranteed decade.

Any revision, and particularly one of such a rack-renting nature, should not be hustled through by the back door or any sly manner. The representatives of the Sindh Zamindars’ Association have visited the ministers a number of times, who have now, after the expiry of the period for objections, agreed to supply a typed copy of each report to the Association only.

The logical sequence of this belated supply of Settlement Reports is to allow a fresh period for objections a period commensurate with the gargantuan task and seriousness of the proposals. It will not be an easy task for the Association to trudge through 57 volumes with their intranet statistical appendices, formulate well considered opinion on each and reduce the objections into writing. If two months were necessary in case of a few changes proposed for a set of two or three talukas, surely much more time is required for considering multifarious alterations in as many as 57 talukas comprising thousands of ‘dehs.’ But there comes the rub. Government refuses to allow even the usual two months, which in the present case will work out to only one day for each volume, because that will lose to the Government wrongly coveted enhancement on the present crop. This will be explained in detail in one of the following paras.

It is now learnt that the present proposals are not all in accordance with the recommendations of the Settlement Officers. The Director of Settlements has introduced some of his own changes in the proposals. Obviously, therefore, along with the Settlement Officers’ reports, Zamindars will also need the Settlement Director’s reasons and his other data which will justify the changes made by hum. Without this the whole thing becomes a farce.

Zamindars are also greatly agitated over the way the Summaries of Government’s Provisional Conclusions, Notifications and Sliding Sealo Tables have been prepared. Too inadequate, sorely confusing, very unintelligible and greatly anomalous. Even a trained I.C.S. man will find it difficult to understand them clearly without calling the learned author of these to his assistance. Where then are the Zamindars? Poor fellows, they feel lost in the leangles of discrepancies, mess of absurdities and labyrinths of inconsistencies in attempting to understand the proposals.

The rate of assessment of rice cotton and wheat is to be governed by the average price recorded over a certain prescribed period every year. That prescribed for each crop has not been disclosed. Nor is the variety of rice mentioned, the price of which will regulate the rate of assessment in each taluka.

Pains have been taken to explain how to work out the assessment rates from the given averages of out-turn and price; yet in many cases the average out-turn or the average price or even both are missing. Nowhere does the price of a mound of wheat correspond with the price of a ‘Khandi’ (8 mounds), nor is any explanation given for this. Zamindars apart, how are the members expected to discuss the proposals in the Legislative Assembly, without understanding them?

Zamindars have pointed out some of these defects to the authorities. Since these papers have failed to serve the purpose for which they were issued, it becomes the bounden duty of the Government to prepare them again in a clearer, intelligible and correct form, and publish them, as before in each deh for the Zamindars cannot be expected to submit objections against the proposals that they cannot understand. This too calls for a fresh and commensurate period for inviting objections.

Government purpose to keep a few typed copies of the settlement reports on the Assembly table to enable the members to discuss the proposals there. How can a few copies suffice so many members? How many days will so many members require to go through 57 volumes with such a limited number of copies of each volume., if the idea of the discussion in the Assembly is not meant to be an eye-wash, it is necessary to send a set of all the 57 reports to each single member sufficiently in advance, so that he can peruse them at his convenience and formulate a considered opinion.

As pointed out above, he should also be supplied with the report of the Director of Settlements and Governments proposals in a correct and intelligible form.

But Government’s excuse is satiety of paper and shortage of time. The first excuse carries not conviction. Have the Government stopped printing of all other papers of lesser importance? If not, how can they avoid printing of these papers required for inviting objections, which preclude is the condition precedent for enforcing enhancements, which in the present case are calculated to enrich the Government colliers to the tune of tens of millions a year? The excuse of paper shortage is manifestly an after thought, for was not the publication of the reports at first refused on the ground of their being confidential? It ill-behaves the Government to be shifting their ground like this. And why were not the précis published? They did not need much paper.

Government have made a fetish of time. There is no law or rule putting any limit of time on the question. The fact of the matter is that the Government’s pain is illuming for enhanced levy on the very present crop. They feel that they could do this by announcing the new rates by July 31, 1913. It is this grabbing anxiety that has made them wind to all canons of fairness and equity, honest observation of which will necessarily intend some time and deprive the Government of one years coveted gain to which they have no legitimate right now. The wounders of non-publication of the reports or even their précis and the defects in the summaries of conclusions etc., are all the outcome of this indecent haste. Haven’t we a proverb in Sindhi that “a hasty bitch begets blind pups.

As a matter of fact it would be illegal and at least against the spirit of section 104 I. R. C, to levy the enhanced rates on the present crop. This section enjoins that enhanced rates should be announced in one year and imposed in the next; technically the year begins on August 1 of one year and ends on July 31, of the enacted without some object. Its obvious subject is to give the Zamindar sufficient time between the announcement and actual levy of the new rate to understand the effect of the enhancement on various crops and plan his next year’s program (in which the enhancement would be first livable) accordingly, avoiding the crop that he may find over taxed in his case, and leaving some lands fallow in recuperate the fertility necessary for meeting the enhanced charge.

Taking their stand, like Shylock, on the letter of the law, Government feal that they would be perfectly within their rights to announce the enhancement on July 31 and levy it immediately the next day i.e. 1st of August, or to stretch the point still further announce it at 11.59 p.m. on July 31, and levy it at 12.1 a.m. on August 1, thus leaving to the Zamindar full two minutes to serve the object of the legal provision.

The evil of such a ridiculous interpretation is aggravated by the fact that the year technically starting on August 1, agriculturally commenced seven months back i.e. in January last (of the preceding year) when the cultivation of the present crop actually started. Thus the announcement made on July 31, will not only leave no time whatsoever between the announcement and the levy of enhancement, but the announced rates will be on the contrary given a rest respective effect by being applied to the crop undertaken seven months back. He must be possessing a very convenient conscience who can reconcile this retrospective effect with the law that contemplates a remote prospective one.

It has always been the cautions policy of the Government to avoid introduction of an enhanced assessment of a time when the economic position of the Khatidars is not satisfactory. Government could not have forgotten that the Zamindars have passed through a long spell of slump in prices. On the top of it, the year 1912-13 has been the most grueling one for them. River breaches in Kharif devastated vast areas and people had to ----- for their life leaving their lands, hearth and home behind. Sabotago on the part of Hurs ruined other. Besides many fields were deserted by the Haris as well as by the Zamindars either out of seared or under evacuation order of the Military. Water level in the canals had to be kept low for fear of further sabotage; this resulted in reduced out-turn of crops. Owing to curfew order, irrigation of the crops could not be attended to at night time. Winter breaches in the river further aggravated the situation by depriving the crops of water for weeks together.

How all these difficulties must how afflicted the economic condition of the already suffering Zamnidars, is not difficult to visualize.

There is a general belief that the sharp rise in prices this year has enriched the Zamindars. But this is a wrong impression. Firstly the sleep rise came only after the Khatedars had contracted away their produce. Secondly, of what good could any rise in price be to those afflicted ones whose lands matured no crops? Higher prices of foodstuff must have become only an additional drag on their life. On the other hand, the advantage of improved prices in the case of remaining ones was neuro than counter balanced by the drop in their yield. This, therefore, is not an opportune time for enforcing enhanced rates.

Government would, th4erefore be well advised to give to the Zamindars at least one year’s respite to enable them to redeem to some extent the losses of the past years. During the interval, Government could go through the usual prescribed procedure, carefully giving the Zamindars adequate opportunity and due facilities for expressing their objections. Imposing enhancements in the middle of the season will be legally and morally wrong.

It will be an irony of fate if those who were the saviours of Sindh Zamindars in the old Bombay Council, having come in office in the present Government, turn into their tormentors now. The Chief Minister when has been returned to the Assembly only by the Zamindars, ought to know what his constituency expects of him.

Petition of humble appeal of widows & orphans left by K. B. Dur Muhammad Khan.

To,

Quaid-e-Azam Mr. Jinnah

President Muslim League

K. B. Dur Muhammad Khan Barakzai of Garhi Yasin died on 22nd December 1937. He left one mother, 2 widows, 7 daughters (out of whom 3 are majors and 4 majors) and Rais Shamsuddin Khan M.L.A. cousin to K.B. Dur Muhammad Khan’s fath. The ladies inherited 0-15-4 (fifteen _____ & four pies) share & K.S.Shamsuddin inherited remaining 8 (eight) pies share out of one rupee. He left lands measuring 6000 acres. Pattadari and 96 houses and large moveable property.

Pir Abdussatar Jan son of Murshid, of the ladies & K.B. Dur Muhammad took interest in the ladies and acted as their private guardian.

Pir Abdus Sattar Jan made a petition dated 24th May 1938, to the Government of Sindh praying for assumption of superintendence of the property of the femal heirs of K.B. Dur Muhammad under the court of Wards Bombay Act No. I of 1905.

The Government by their order dated 11th June 1938, were pleased to accord sanction to the assumption of the superintendence of the property of 4 minor daughters under Section 4 (1) of the Court of Wards Act and that of 3 major unmarried daughters, 2 widows and the mother of the deceaseduner section 9 of the Act.

In the first instance, Assistant Collection of Shikarpur had entered the property in the Record of Rights in the name of K.S. Shamsuddin Khan M.L.A. on the ground that according to the custom prevailing in the family the entire property became the property of the Pegdar (lineal male descendent) and the ladies were entitled to maintenance only. But the Collector of Sukkur in appeal set aside the order of the Assistant Collection as illegal and entered the shares of the ladies in the record of rights as above.

Soon after assumption of superintendence of the above estate, K.S. Shamsuddin Khan & Pir Abdus Sattar private agent approached the Court of Wards & desired the dispute be referred to informed arbitration of Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah, Sheikh Abdul Majid M.L.A. K.B. Ghulam Muhammad Khan Isran and G.M.Sayed M.L.A. the Court of Wards accepted the suggestion on the understanding that the matter would be settled within a month. The matter dragged on for 3 or 4 months and the Court of Ward finding no chance of settlement declined to wait any further for the proposed settlement and the whole arrangement accordingly abeted.

In the meantime the Court of Wards received reports from Deputy Manager, Northern Division that inspire of notice given to K.S. Shamsuddin Khan, he had removed the standing crop and no arrangement could possibly be made to secure a lesses for the crop owing the his influence. Court of Ward (Mr. Sidiki) accordingly proceeded personally to Shikarpur and Garhi Yasin to obtain first hand information about the affairs of this estate and interview the ladies. After careful inquiries Court of Wards came to the conclusion that K.S. Shamsuddin had no case, that he had removed the standing crop and that he had organized a regular compaign to harass the ladies, coerce them into submission to his wishes and assume superintendence over their property, inspite of the fact that even in the life time of the deceased K.B. Dur Muhammad Khan he was regarded as the foe of the deceased and his family. The Court of Wards accordingly resorted to the following steps.

(1)     Recovery of produce of Kharif and Rabi for the year 1937-38 and Kharif 1938-39 from K.S. Shamsuddin. Produce was assessed and notice given to Shamsuddin to pay the amount within 14 days.

(2)     Deputy Manager Northern Division was asked to arrange for lease auction of the estate share from 1939-40, on 16th January 1939.

(3)     Diwan Bahadur Issrarsingh pleader was engaged to file a Civil suit against K.S. Shamsuddin Khan as the letter, though served with one month’s notice to partition the property, did not agree to that proposal and thus prospective lesses who met Court of Wards at Shikarpur gave him to understand that except for partition, it would not to possible for them to face K.S. Shamsuddin Khan and take up the leases.

Dreading the consequences of these steps proposed to be taken by the Court of Wards, Shamsuddin Khan moved the Government with several applications. He was and still is a member of Sindh Legislative Assembly. The rotten state of Sindh Legislative Assembly in those days in well-known. The Governemnt after having long correspondence with the Court of Wards passed an order dated 19th June 1939 (copy of which is attached for perusal). Pending the inquiry, the Governemnt had restrained Court of Wards from taking any action against K.S. Shamsuddin Khan. But in the meantime Court of Wards had given lease of 514 acres and 18 ghuntas to one Pahlajsingh Sanwalsingh Lulla for 5 years from 1939-40 at Rs. 5000/- nett per year. It was confirmed on 7th February 1939 and the leased deposited 10 p.c. on 18th January 1939.

Lease of the remaining land was given to Pir Abdus Sattar Jan private guardian of Wards for about Rs. 8000/- as no other leaseee was coming forward owing to hostile attitude of K.S. Shamsuddin Khan. But this was not confirmed owing to restraint orders of the Government.

Lease in favour of Pahlajsingh who had deposited 10 p.c. was cancelled by Governemnt under its orders dated 18th September 1939.

According to the above Resolution, the entire property was handed over to Shamsuddin Khan and he was to  pay Rs> 12,000/- per year to Court of Wards & Court of Ward was asked to file a suit against Shamsuddin Khan for partititon. This uit was filed in January 1940. The advocate of the Wards under instructions from the private guardian of the Wards filed an application in Court for appointment of Receiver. Shamsuddin Khan fearing the consequences of this application, approached the Governemnt again and the Governemnt ordered the Court of Ward to withdraw the application praying for the appointment of Receiver and the Court of Ward had no other go cut to obey the orders. Thus the Wards were highly prejudiced by this Act.

The entire land measures about 6000 acres and its annual yield in 1939-40 was about Rs. 50,000/- nett, but owing to dread of K.S. Shamsuddin Khan, no lease was coming forward to bid at the auction. Owing to rise in the price of grain, the nett yield now would be atleast one lakh of rupees. Thus shamsuddin Khan has been enjoying the produce since 1939 for a nominal sum of Rs. 12,000/- nett.

 

In the year 1942, Shamsuddin Khan did not deposit Rs. 12,000/- as laid down in the Resolution of the Government but deposited only Rs. 6000/- and the Court of ward has been restrained from recovering the same under the Court of Wards Act. The ladies were thus left for sometime without maintenance allowance till Court of Wards raised loan from other estates and paid allowance to Wards.

The ladies had sought superintendence of the Court of Wards so that their property be managed by the Court of Wards, but instead of that the Government handover the  entire property for management to Shamsuddin Khan and the Court of Wards was to get only Rs. 12,000/-.

Several offers have now been made by respectable persons to Government to take up the lease of the entire lands for higher value. The last offer is for Rs. 50,000/-. But if the lease of the property is now auctioned, it would feteh about one lakh. The Court of Wards cannot do it so long the Resolution of the Governemnt is there.

One of the Widows of K.B. Dur Muhammad is full sister of Shamsuddin Khan. She desired the Court of Wards to file a suit for partition of her share from the properties lefty her father Abdul Kabir Khan. The Court of Wards engaged a pleader and gave no _______ to Shamsuddin Khan to effect artition, but to no effect. Shamsudiin Khan again approached the Governemnt and it restrained the Court of Wards from taking any further step in the matter and thus this matter has been illegally dropped to the prejudice of one of the Wards. This suit relates to entirely different cause of action and the resolution which affected the estate of K.B. Dur Muhammad had nothing to do with this matter.

The suit which was filed in First Class Subordinate Judge’s Court at Sukkur in January 1940, was unnecessarily dragged on by dilatory tactics of Shamsuddin Khan and was ultimately referred to Mr. M.A. Shaikh Retired District judge, Mr. I.I. Kazi Bar-at-Law and ex Home member of the Council of Ministers of Khairpur State and K.S. Gul Hassan Khan retired Naib Wazir of Khairpur State. The arbitrators after full inquiry by majority decreed the suit K.S. Gul Hassan dissenting, Shamsuddin Khan filed objections to the award which were heard by the Court and the Court has now remitted the award for reconsideration of the arbitrators and the matter is pending before the arbitrators.

Advice is sought on the following points and it is requested that you will be pleased to take up our brief.

(1)     Whether suit can lie against the Government for passing the resolution which appears mollified and on account of which the estate is suffering a loss of about Rs. 88,000/- per year.

(2).    Whether Government can now rescind this order? If so, how Government may be approached to achieve this object or what steps can be taken to compel the Government to cancel this order.

(3)     What steps can be taken to force the Government to remove restrictions put on Court of Wards’ powers under the Act.

(4)     What steps should be taken to get the restraint order prohibiting the Court of Wards from filling suit on behalf of Zarul Bibi.

Quaid-e-Azam Mr. Jinnah,

Bombay

Most Illustrious Sir,

With due respect I beg to submit herewith a copy of the application I have submitted to Khan Bahadur Khuhro, President, Zamindar Bank Larkana and the Minister in Sindh.

The facts in brief are given in my application which will show the case in itself.

As the Muslim League is for the uplift of the Muslims and the greatest burden under which the Indian Muslim is pressed is the interest on the loans as a result of which thousands of Muslims Zamindars have been ruined. I request your honour to recommend my case to the Hon’able K. B. Khuhro that some remission be granted in the interest as has already been done by him in many other cases. I have a very big family you support and if my land is auctioned the family will be ruined.

I have already paid about double the amount as interest.

Hoping to be excused for the trouble and always praying for your long life and prosperity.

I am, Sir,

Most Respectfully yours,

Sahib Dino

To

The President,

Zamindari Bank,

Larkana

Sir,

With due respect I beg to submit the following pitiable case before your goodself with a hope that it will receive a sympathetic consideration at your kind hands:

1.       That I took a loan of Rs. 3,200/- only from the Zamindari Bank Larkana. I paid a sum of Rs. 1,800/- to the said Bank.

2.       In 1941 I applied to your goodself for the remission of interst on my loan as such remissions were granted to several other persons. At that time the interest due from me was Rs. 3,763/- and a sum of Rs. 30/8/- as Arbitrator’s fee.

3.       In October 1941 the Poard resolved if I pay a good sum towards interest to the Bank the President is authorized to give remission in interest whatever he thinks fit. On this resolution I paid the following sum of money to the Bank:

29.9.1941             200/-

11.10.1941           200/-

28.10.41               979.8/-

28.10.41               30.6/- Arbitrator’s fee

22.12.1941           1,000/-

25.1.1942             1,000/-

12.1.1942             3,000/-

                             6,410/-

Upto that time I paid Rs. 6,410/- plus the above noted amount of Rs. 1,800/- i.e. 8,210/-

I requested the Manager of the Bank at the time that this amount may be credited in payment of the capital and remissions be made in the interest. But to my misfortune I understand that Rs. 2,500/- was credited to the capital and the remaining Rs. 5,710/- was credited to the interst Rs. 1,500/- is still in my name as capital loan on which the interest is running.

4.       From the above account it is clear that I have been given no remissions in interest as _____ resolved by the Board.

5.       In the cases of all old loans having big balances of interest you have been gracious enough to change 7 or 8% interest _____ my case 11% interest is being charged uptil now.

6.       ________ advance of Rs. 3,200/- I have paid a sum of money which is double the amount of the capital advanced to me.

7.       If an interest 8% p.a. was charged a remission of Rs. 1,100/- should have been granted to me and if 7% p.a. interest was charged a remission of Rs. 1,500/- should have been granted to me.

8.       Shares to the amount of Rs. 800/- are still in the Bank which amount is also due to me.

9.       As is clear from the above statement my loan with interest is fully paid up uptil now.

10.     Now to my great misfortune orders have been passed that 50 acres of my agricultural land be auctioned and a balance of Rs. 1,500/- capital and Rs. 400/- interest has been shown against my name.

I am a member of a respectable Zamindar family. The land is my ancestral land. I have got ten sons 8 daughters and 3 wives i.e. a very big family to support. Moreover two daughters in law and 2 grand children who all are dependant on this piece of land.

I therefore request that you may be gracious enough to show me the same kindness which has been shown to others i.e. the rate of 7% interest be charged from me and thus my loan cleared, for which act of kindness I shall always remain grateful to you and shall pray for your prosperity.

I am, Sir,

Most Respectfully Yours,

Sahib Dino

s/o, Qazi Noor Muhammad Junejo

P.S. in the end I beg to request that the auction of my land may very graciously be cancelled and my family be saved from you.

All India Muslim League,

Delhi

Sir,

We, the peasant proprietors and Mukhadims of Sindh wish to bring to your kind notice the following facts with the prayer that you would graciously interfere in time and saw us from the threatened repeal of the Sindh Jagir Act.

We are confident that you have not forgotten that in about the year 1942 we had represented our case to you and had requested you to direct the Sindh Ministry here not to interfere with the modicum of rights that had been given to us by the Sindh Jagir Act. We had addressed you long letters and you were so much persuaded by the Argument contained in them that in your presidential address you had given out that you would safe guard the interests of the poor and destitute peasants against the onslaught of the rich.

In June 1943 that you had kindly graced by your presence the City of Karachi we had seen you in a deputation headed by G.M. Sayyed and you were good enough to hear our grievance and extend to us an assurance that no effort would be permitted to be made to affect our present position. It would now appear from the statements made by responsible members of the Muslim League party in the Legislature that the Sindh Jagir Act would be repealed and old orear rehabilitated. That revive of the Bataee system in Jagir is bound to operate harshly on the peasant proprietors and is likely to create a district in the Muslim masses with regard to the policy of the League Ministry in Sindh.

We therefore appeal to you, as a last resort, and request that you would direct the ministers not to create discontent in the Muslim masses by depriving them of them just and legitimate rights. We have seen personally practically all responsible ministers here and it would appear that they are not prepared to listen to reason. They wish to propitiate the Mir Group of the members of the legislature by giving absolutely unwarranted concessions to them. Whereas by the proposed policy a few Jagirdars would be benefited, it is not being realized that this is being done at an enormous risk of exposing hundreds and thousands haris to want, starvation and rank poverty.

Having regard to the present position and drift of Sindh Ministers Political policy we have no option but to approach you for your benevolent interference. We trust you who have dedicated your life for regenerating the national life in the Musilmans will consider it as your duty to come their rescue by asking the ministry here not to repeal the Sindh Jagir Act.

May God’s Blessings to be with you

We are your loyal followers

Memorandum written by G. M. Sayed Msq. M.L.A. ___________________on the desireability of allowing the Act ____________________ 1941 to remain on the statement book _________________ and  _____________________ ________________

Jagir in consideration of this services before and after conquest.

In memo of the Jagir areas the Jagirdar have under ____________ Government, Conspants of land whom he cannot _______ being mostly of the indigene ______________________ occupancies which they all _________________ sayeds and Pirs who seem to have __________________________ from time to time by gift and ___________________ who acquired the occupancy rights by purchase from the original occupants or the Jagirdars themselves. There are ______________________ holding large as well and normally which occupants get their lands cultivated by others. But the ________________ Mukhadims holding large areas is practically _____________ and most of them are just ordinary repaint.

________ would appear that the Jagirdari Rights on the occupancy Right are two different Rights and they need _________ the name person. The Jagiri right is a right ____________________ land Revenue. Of course there are vast tracts of land, in which occupancy right too vests in the person ___________ Jagiri Rights. But the occupancy rights is the ______________________ transferable and some of the Jagirdars have been _________________________ it from time to time for monetary consideration ____________________________ Jagirs, this occupancy right is entered ________________________ heir of the deceased Jagirdar on occasion __________________ to the custom and law of inheritance governing the ___________________ where the in others it continues to be shown in the _________________ Jagirdar either through missapprensics or by mutual _____________ person concerned. It is clear then _____________________________ Mourosi Hari, enjoys the occupancy right and all that Jagirdar can demand from him is his _________ of the Government Revenue hitherto of course in some Jagir areas the fractional ____________ has prevailed, which in affect signified that the Jagirdar is a partner in the land with the ____________________. Originally is Royati ______ the Government hood to receive the ______________ of land have ______ in kind _______________________ that the lands were surveyed and fixed rates were settled which the Government was to receive. In the Jagir land however prior to the Jagir Act the Jagirdar used to receive his share of land revenue as did the Government at one time. After the operation of Act-V of 941, and the Rules made by the Provincial Government subsequently, the survey settlement Rates have been introduced in all the alienated holdings which have been surveyed.

This arrangement has irritated and annoyed the Jagirdar. Generally it has been observed that the introduction of survey settlement rates brings much more money than the Jagirdar is likely to get if he lets cut his right by way of lease or even enforce the “Betake” ________ (Sea page 15 of Nur Nabi’s Report).

It is therefore pertinent to ask why the Jagirdars are un-willing to submit themselves to the introduction survey settlement rates. The main reason is that the enforcement of this practice ________ result in this that the Jagirdar will lose control and influence over the Raj and suffer in prestige.

At present a Jagirdar or land lord in Sindh can command the vote of Dia Rati and this he diabolically exploits to find his way in the neglalature. He is not himself educated and does not understand anything of the part of Government. When he steps in to a political career as turns out to be ------- destructive and an “normoral” force and instead of ministering to the needs of his people he does all he can to undermine the existing good will and fellow feeling which obtains between man and man.

It has been seen that the share of “Betake” which he claims along ________ other _______________________________________________________________(Abrabs) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Masses and if self determinations is to be the principle on which the man in future is to conduct his life, the irascible minimum which has to be done is to render the in dividual economically free. Those of us who have traveled the interior of Sindh knew what ignorance, illiteracy and appalling poverty is throttling the lives of poor peasante. Those blood _____________ who have undermined the economic prosperity of the peasant of class are no other than the privileged class known as the Jagirdars and it is from their clutches that we ask you to redeem us.

Act V of 1941, was passed by the Sindh Legislature _________ days of Allah Bukhsh Ministry. Ever since 1941, long enforce inception of Provincial autonomy in Sindh, the Mukhadim have been crying for Justice and fair treatment at the _________ of the Jagirdars. Thy have always _________________ with the Zamindars in the Reyatori ____________________________________ class pays only the land Revenues, to the Government so also the Mukhadims have also been cloying for _________________________________ introduced in the Jagir Lands. The Jagirdar __________________ no more entitled to the land Revenue of the Government ___________ 1939-40, when Mir Bundah Ally was the _______________________________ Nur Nabi a Special Officer was _______________________ Government of Sindh to draw up a minute on the relationship ________________ prevailed between the Jagirdar and the Mukhadim and the haris. This settlement Officer was ___________________________ studious care, and he __________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bataee system he opined that it was an old and archaic institution and that it would be much better if the Jagirdar instead of shareing the preduce of the land could be persuaded to ________ Land Revenue just as in the fraction in regard to the Rayoti lands.

These suggestions were incorporated in the Act-V of 1941 whereby the Bombay Land Revenue Code was amended and power was given to the Provincial Government to enforce survey settlement rates in the Jagir area where the land has been actually surveyed.

Before passing to the consideration of the question has to why the interested party of the Jagirdar is sent upon having this healthy piece of legislation repealed. I am templed to offer a few remarks on the view which can been taken viz. that this act was passed by Mr. Michaela C. Vazirani with a view to bring about a disharmony between the Jagirdar and the Mukhadim nothing could be so very from truth as this statement. This view has been advanced by Mr. Ghulam Alli in the press and in his petitions to the Government and if therefore because necessary to examine its logical soundness. As it is, the act morally enforces the suggestions  made by K. B. Nur Nabi who had an immemass of evidence before him and who had no ___________ to bring a bad blood between the Jagirdar and other party. It was noticed in the pre Act days that a lot of unnecessary litigation was going on in Courts an regard to the settlement of occupancy rights and that the only possible way to avoid this litigation was to main the record of rights for the Jagirdars as well. It is true that the Special Mukhtiarkar and to decide the disputed claims  rather in a summary way, that regardless of what may be said about the injustice which may have been occasioned in specific cases, the introduction of the system of maintaining record of rights is healthy  innovation and one which was calculated to minimize litigation altogether. The transitional period, here as elsewhere, due could to be a little slamming but then, with the passage of a little time, it would become clear that after all this was a God sent move. When the Jagirdar brought to have no objection against it.

The entire artillery of Jagirdars protest in directed against the other piece of program viz. the elimination of Bataee system and enforcement of taking Land Revenue instead of Bataee.

K. B. Nur Nabi at page-15 of his report makes mention the fact that the Jagirdars have been explagned _________ great length the advantages of the introduction of survey rates but the Jagirdars are averse to such a proposal on the following grounds viz.

1.       Under the Bataee system, a Jagirdar takes his chance equally with the cultivaters of the cut one of the crop and of low and ___________ prices.

2.       It dispenses with the ________ of granting _____________ and remissiens of revenue which are the part and parole of the Irrigational Settlement.

3.       It would leed to designation on the grant of admission between the Jagirdar and the Mukhadim.

4.       Recovery of rent is kind is ________ then in case. The Mukhadim will have no ________ until me his holidays the crop and when he has soll it, he may not pay the react either the result that the Jagirdar will have to file ____________ suits or pay recovery charges to the Government.

5.       In view of the immemorial quotom the Jagirdars ______ partner in the predice of the Land with this _________________ and it would be urjust to __________ his of the vested interests.

6.       The Jagirdar will lose his held on the Raj and suffer in prestige K.B. Nur Nabi, allowed the matter regarding in the introduction of Survey settlement rates to finally be with Governemnt and be himself and not offer more than big personal opinion that it would be in the interests of the Jagirdar to submit himself before the introduction of survey settlement rates.

But if we take there contention ______ by one was ace that they are imaginary grievances and that toey do not stand _____ against the advantages which will accrue to the peasant people of Sindh if the Survey settlement rates are introducted. It is no doubt true that the Jagirdar will lose his held on the Raj and the poor peasante consequently will come into their own. But this is an ______ which operates to justify the introduction of survey settlement rates in the survey settled areas.

Of the various Jagirdars in Sindh only 3 or 4 individually are interacted in having this act repealed and _____ to the rest they are happy now that they will getheir land assessment without any further ______ formerly the cultivated no interst in the Jagir and he did not are anything about improving the quality of land now that he is virtually made the owner and the Jagirdar declared morely as the reapsent of the land Revenue, there is overy in continue for him to take salively interst in the cultivation and the improvement of the lead with the result that the aoth parties will becomes _______

As against these 3 or 4 intereated ________ who feel harm by the Act we have more than _______ of poor Haris on the other side who stand to gain by this Legislature. Consequently if greatest good of the greates number is a sound basis of Legislature the present Act is not only desireable out highly called for and a just ______ indeed.

In my letter to the Premier Sir Ghulam Hussain I had advanced certain reasons in support of my contention that this Act be not repealed. It would not be cut of place to _________ grounds here to show the ________ of maintaining the status quo ________ all the grounds presuppose one thing which has been accepted as axiomatic by me viz. that the economic salvation ______masses is the only way whereby so can regrate a fallen community. If peoples have not enough to eat and wear we cannot expect them to obey all and _________ as cultured people. It is the duty of the ________ to look after its labourers. The last speech of the ________ of Muslim League sounds a similar notes.

No advancement in the _______ science of the life of a body politic could to _______ and unless the economic prosperity of the masses be ensured. It is not for me to point to you parallels from World History: suffice it  to say that the health of the entire Scocial Life in a given political unit is primarily based on free circulation of wealth. The Jagirdar have for some time in the past been themselves the most unscrupulous of all peoples. Beyond their own interest they are not capable of perceiving any thing. The Haris class in Sindh on whose welfare primarily the welfare of the Province must necessarily depend is, at present now well off. His standard of living is so low that he cannot be expected to _______ for himself even the satisfaction of the most elementary heads. Any legislation therefore which is calculated to promote his welfare is a welcome and God sent Love. It is in the interests of Society that its manual labourerrs be welfed and welclothed.

The Jagirdars originally were and therefore are, claimante of the land Revenue only. Any depanture made by accident, or by willful fraud, does not and cannot, confer a they licence on them. It is no argument that because they have beer sharing the produced hithereto they should be allowed to do so. The question is whether it is just and fair that this practice be contained. The moment it is conceded that it not just, the ______ must  diaappear. The government of the day found it proper to create a Class of this type from various motives: the approclation of the past service of soue loyal servants of the Crown and the scope of being able to avail of their timely help in hours of need, constitated the best of those motives, in response to which, this clas was created and patonied. Now, however, the age of old _______ is dead and mankind is marching forward to ________ of living where individual is to be rendered occasionally and intellectually free. The Jagirdar, hereto fore has remainded as an effective check on the growth of individual self-conciousness and his personality has demoninated the entire imaginative out-look of the unsophiaticated Hari. The earlier therefore he is removed the better. He is a empericial appendage. _______ unnecessary entity and an out-of-date being. His eliminational would mean the salvation of the thousands of the unfortunate Haris, a change which is decidedly for the better.

Untils such time the public consciousness is educated to see the naturalness of this program percidic Legislation should be evailed of, for the sake of improving the status of the agriculturists Act V of 1941 emodies some such step, and any effort to have it wached of bespeaks of a lack of inner virture and moral equipped in the minds of those who conceive such criminal design. The Jagirdars have not advanced the cause of political ______ in Sindh. They have hardly been useful missionaries of the Muslim League. They are drawn into the _______ of the party polition only on occasions when their ownself interest has directed them to that course.

It is a principle of a wise and benevolent Governemnt that there be some stability in its measures. No light hearted cyniciam would justify be policy of undoing what little has been done heretofore. If the legislature keep up passing and repealing the Acts as their chance desires or passing facies would dictate, we will not be sure of our position. The stability of  sure of our position. The stability of society requires some level headedness, some courage of sticking to ones conviction ______ capacity to with stand any unkind criticism on the actual working of a policy. Besides why condem system which he not been adequately tried only become some section of society would be particularly prejudiced. We have necessarily to act with some nations and respect for conservation so matter have very liberal we may pretend to be.

______________ further grounds are that:

1.       after the enforcement of taxs act some amount of awakening has _______ ___ Class of people and if the Act is replled those ______ will be very voluctant to part with what few _____________________________________ have been granted by the present Act. There is sound ________ ________ lot of bad blood between the part __________________________ old system of Bataee is introduced. The cultivation class of people in Sindh in becoming well organized hed to cannot possibly repeal the Act without encountering a ___________________ public opposition.

2.       ________ of the assesstors of the present Jagirdars in the inquirires held by survey settlement officers like seymore and Kadirdad Khan have themselves given statements to the effect that they have no occupy rights in the Jagir lands. If that has been the admission their part how _________________ present day Jagirdars ________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ the part of their _____________________________________ belong to the _____________________________________

Dear Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah,

As our Leader working for the uplift of our political and economical life in India, you will be pleased to learn of a remarkable invention perfected by a Muslim inventor, which has revolutionized the present Supply Dropping Parachute Equipment of the Air Forces in India. Not only the R.A.F. but also the American Air Forces have also adopted the same and we believe no other Nation in the present World Conflict, including the Axis Powers, have such an equipment.

Following their unfavourable police towards Indian, the Government of India has not only not patronized us but also pirated our Patent rights by putting up a special Parachute Factory.

We would like to consult you and advised to engage you to assert our Patent rights either through representation to the Government or legal proceedings.

We shall thank you to please give us an appointment to go over the matter.

Wishing you all the success in your Mission, we remain,

Sincerely Yours

For Tp aero stores

*****************************

There was no League in Sindh prior to 1938 and consequently there was not a single member elected on the Assembly on League ticket. In order to organize Muslim League in Sindh a Provincial conference was called in 1938 when Quaid-e-Azam and other all India Leaders came and tried to organize League in Sindh. At that time Muslim members joined League on the initiative of Quaid-e-Azam after 1st Provincial League Conference in September 1938 including K. B. Allah Bakhsh (then premier) who handed in his resignation of Premiership to Mr. Jinnah, Sir Sikandar and M. Fazalul Haq (then Premier of Bengal).

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SIND PROVINCIAL MUSLIM LEAGUE.

               FOR THE YEAR 1943-44

Friends,

               This is the 11th: month when we are meeting again after the last elections. The last elections were held on the 13th: June 1943 in the presence of the Qaid-i-Azam, Mr. Mohd. Ali Jinnai and the members of the provincial Muslim League were good enough to elect me as President and Mr. Yusuf Haroon as General Secretary of the provincial Muslim League. I am conscious of the fact that using to various duties which had devolved on us, we have not been able to meet quite often in the council, excepting on one occasion that is on the 12th. September 1943 and once in the working committee on the 26th. June 1943. This was mainly due to the fact that for nearly 4 months we were busy with the

Shikarpur by-election work and then for nearly 3 months with the 31st. session, All India Muslim League. I hope this year; we are going to meet more often. during the year under review, we had only one bye-election to fill in the vacancy caused by the death of the late Mr. Allah Bakhsh Soomro. This by-election took most of the time of our workers as all the disruptive forces among the Muslim community, such as, Khaksars, Ihrars, Jamiatul-Ulma and some Socialists workers, had joined hands, with the assistance and encouragement of the Hindu

Community, to put down the rising influence of the Muslim League in the province. This was taken by them as a test case. We had to fight many odds, as it was the constituency from where the late Mr. Allah Bux was being returned ever since 1926 when he entered politics. This was the place where his family

Possessed considerable landed property on account of which it was in a position to wield great influence over voters; in addition this tract was dominated by big Zamidars, Sardars and chiefs who had personal relationship with the family and

Mr. Allahbuxs, own sudden death had created in them a certain amount of sympathy for his people. But in spite of all this, workers, we were able to a chive a glorious success. This election gave us an experience and also insight into the mind of the Muslim masses. If we have to fight any new elections, in the future and win seats in all the Muslim constituencies at the time of the general elections, it would require tremendous efforts on our part in this direction, masses have yet to be trained to control elections collectively through organizations and resist the temptations offered to them at the election time by well-to-do, influential and local individual aspirants. It would not be a matter of days or months but we should require year to creat political consciousness among Muslim masses in the Province, where on account long distances scattered villages, illiteracy and local influences and petty personal jealousies, it is rather difficult to easily approach the people, on account of the postponement of elections due to war, we have got time to prepares the ground for future elections and if we take the matter in right earnest from now and onwards, we can organize the electorates to control their legislators and through them the Government.

        2/- After a long repose, we had here in this province the 31st. session of the All India Muslim League. In the organization of the session, we had many odds to fight on account of the restriction and limitations imposed by war. The General Secretary, Mr. Yusuf Haroon had to suspend many of his activities in other fields and devote a considerable time to make the conference a success. Mr. Gazdar inspite of his arduous official duties spent much of his time in the construction of the Pandal. The Premier, Sir Ghulam Hussain, Pir Illahi Bux and Khan Bahadur Khuhro too had lent their helping hand in making the conference

a success. I thank all other sincere workers as well who did likewise. This conference was historic, for reasons of its constructive outturn and the fact that it had served the purpose of imparting political education to the people of the pretence.

             3/- During the year, we had chalked out a programme for holding of District and Taluka conferences, but due to the Shikarpur Bye-election and the All India Muslim League conference, we were able to hold only three District conferences, and four Taluka conferences, the audience in each having ranged from 500to 10000. Speeches and lectures at these conferences had great education value. We have since obtained a list of fairs hold at various places in the province, and if we can utilize the so fairs for the purpose of creating political consciousness, quite a good deal could be done in this direction. In some Districts, we had appointed paid propagandists who carried the Muslim League message from place to place, but I am afraid, this is not sufficient. If we want to establish genuine contacts with the masses, we shall have to appoint as many paid propagandists as there are Muslim constituencies in the province. The message of the Muslim League should reach e very adult Muslim in the province. As for publicity, the “Alwahid “has been doing its best to represent our view point and we take this opportunity to thank the “Alwahid” management and also the other papers which have been supporting our cause.

            4/- It is a well know fact that Muslims are backward In trade and industry and the seriousness of this situation was realized during the year and a regular campaign was started to induce the Muslims to take to trade and start industries. A day was fixed as the “MUSLIM TRADE DAY” and an appeal was issued to the Muslims of the province through papers, pamphlets and posters to observe the day. As many as 200 places in the province observed and celebrated this day. In response to this Muslim were found to be enthusiastic in opening shops in every nook and corner of Sind, but I am sorry to observe that in view of some difficulties and obstacles, much has not been done in this direction. The policy adopted by the previous District officials in giving license for control shops and Forming of the syndicates has been a great handicap in this Behalf. The following figures will give bird’s eye view of the whole position:

(B)     The other handicap is the absence of sufficient number of Muslim trained hands for the opening of now shops in villages.

(c)     There is also absence of whole-sale shops and agencies for supplying material to the Muslim retail shops. I am sorry to observe that the Muslim zamidars have not yet taken notice of the requirements of their Muslim brothers and have failed to take interest in this direction. This is the reason why the financial Assistance required for this purpose is not sufficiently forth-coming. It is regrettable to find that Muslim who form a majority in population of the province have been finding it difficult to obtain their quota of kerosene oil, which is mainly due to the policy by the Burma-Shell company in giving preference to their old customers who are mostly Hindus. The Muslim licenses are experiencing great difficulty. It is time that the present Ministry adopted a policy by which facilities: are provided to Muslim shopkeepers. The present state of affairs must end, as early as possible.

         5/- As the Muslim League organization is gradually getting stronger, the disintegrating forces among the Muslim are getting frightened and are trying their best to unite among, and organize, themselves in order to present a joint front to our organization. The khaksars, Ihrars, the Jamiat-Ul-Ulma and such other disgruntled individuals are straining every nerve of theirs to make us c of the defects and drawbacks of our workers and discredit and malign our organization. The local grievances are made much of by them. It is an admitted fact that corruption in mast of the government departments is rampant. The cost of living has tremendously shot up and the low-paid service-men and the working class are greatly hit. Insecurity in the village life has not yet been removed. When everywhere great schemes for reorganization of the country are being prepared, this province is lying in a state of torpor. Haris have not yet been provided with their security of tenure and other rights, enhancement of land assessment without compensating the public limens of spending sufficient amount on the nation building activities, are some of the points which are made much of by the opposition. It is time that we took cognizance of such matters and endeavourer to remove, as far as possible, these causes and their offices. In my opinion the province of Sind is to play as important role in the future of the Muslim politics of India. The future of The Muslims of India depends upon proper handling of the Sind politics, if we improve the conditions in this Province, there would be no delay in achieving our cherished goal of Pakistan. It is high time that we devoted our attention to the improvement of the condition of the 28 lace a befitting and practical reply to our opponents. It is the duty of our government and also every Muslim League worker to put in serious efforts in this direction.

         6/- The Hindu attitude has from the very start been anit-Muslim League and intriguing, In spite of my appeal to them on the occasion of the All India Muslim League Conference, I find a very little response coming from the Hindu Community for arriving at an understanding with the Muslims, we have all along been anxious to do justice to the minority community, but it is painful to see, that owing to defective organization and short-sightedness and the influence of the all India politics, they are lacking courage and conviction to break the stalemate and come to some definite settlement. The manner and methods adopted by them to encourage the disruption Forces among the Muslim community is a clear proof of their intentions. I hope better counsels will someday come to prevail.

           7/- I have found so far that the be-all and end-all of the organization with which we are associated in the eyes of some people, has been to capture seats in the various local bodies or the Assembly through the organization. Keeping this as a main principle, the entire outlook is narrowed down to power politics and naturally the result is party intrigues, petty jealousies, mostly for the sake of some scats or office. Now it is necessary that we should give a lead to our people in changing this outlook to pure and simple service for the sake of service alone. We have to stress upon the workers the idea of sacrifice and selfless work in the cause of the community as a whole. Unless this is done there is every danger of friction and disintegration setting in. We should bring to the notice of the people that the ultimate object of the organization is not the mere capturing of seats in local Bodied or the Assemblies but the realization of our goal-Pakistan. The present constitution is not to our satisfaction and under it the great changes for the improvement of society and defect and grievances cannot be remedied. Therefore it is not correct to judge the usefulness of the organization by their present day Ministry’s work.

            My Dear Nawabzada,

                                             Some time ago, I was approached by the Government to open war Services Exhibition which is being held in Karachi from the 25th instant. Of course this invitation was extended to me as Mayor of Karachi.

                                           Another invitation was extended to me by the publicity officer, Department of information and Broadcasting for joining the celebrations of the United Nations Day so as to represent the city of Karachi and also take a leading part in it.

                            A third invitation has been received by me from the Military, Department asking me to join as a member of the Reception committee when His Excellency the Government of Sind was to attend the Military Review.

                           All these invitations I have refused to accept simply on the ground that I being a member of the All India Muslim League, cannot identify myself with any war effort.

                           I have just received another letter from Government of Sind addressed to the Mayor of Karachi, a copy of which I am enclosing herewith. I am invited to attend a conference to discuss the question of stimulating recruitment to the Indian Air Force, Royal Indian Navy and Indian Army. I do not know what will be my position and I therefore seek your guidance in the matter. Will you please immediately to through the same and let me have your views in the matter whether invitation extended to me as Mayor of Karachi should be responded to or whether it will be against the interests of League.

With regards.

             Yours Sincerely,

President:

Dr.A.A.KHAN

Leader Municipal Muslim League Party.

        Dear Nawab Sahib,

                                    Friends in Karachi have convicted League of your fair-mindedness and have encouraged me to write you’re and open mind to you. The Sind Ministry is everything but honest. I am sending few of relevant cuttings for your perusal with a hope that you will not let your mind be influenced by so called weighty consideration. When you gave your approval for the formation of this Ministry against vehement protest from the public the fate of the Sind Muslim with sealed. The disintegration in the League organization started. The whole province is seething with discontent on account of the corruption practiced openly by the Ministry. The name of the League in Sind is Mud. The pace den is of the Ministers were as clear as day light to Qaide Azam especially Gazdar. Mr.Gazdar record of Beck Bay, Worley Chawl, Bahawalpur and Karachi Local Board are tough to put one on his guard. In only Mariman (Qaid-e-Azam, Friend) was involved along with Gazdar but the former was acquitted honorably which Qaid-e-Azam nows.Your time is precious and I must be short. The Ministry evil doings are universally known.

                              Gambling dens have multiplied; Lawlessness is the order of the day American Future, Carnivals (with gambling dens) are run even against the consent allows of the Civil Authority and the Home Minister on his own abuses power allows it.

Sind Secretariat, Karachi,

8th August 1944.

My dear Nawabzada Sahib,

               

                  I enclose, for your information, a press cutting in connection with the allegations of corruption made against a Minister of this Government by Mr.Nihchaldas and his friend, Mr.G.M.Sayed,

                        

                      You will see that Mr.Nihchaldas definitely states that his allegation is not made against me.

                

                        A resolution was passed by the working Committee of the All-India Muslim League at Lahore that the rest of the matters, legislative and administrative, should be brought before the Sind Muslim League Assembly Party.

             Mr. Sayed, however, says he has nothing to place before the Sind Muslim League Assembly Party. No meeting of this Party is, therefore, being called.

                              Mr.Gazdar has already wired to you to this effect.

With Kind regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah

TRIBUNAL MUST PROBE SYNDICATE SCANDAL

Col. Hossacks’ Appeal To Govt. To Scrap Monopoly.

Too many officers made a mess and a real mess had been made in this work. In which there were officers with known records of corruption, Mr.Nihchaldas submitted.

             People of this province were not prepared to put up with the syndicates any longer, Mr.Nihchaldas warned the Government.

ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY

Mr.Nihchaldas narrated an incident how some merchants tried to manipulate controlled rates by the payment of a bribe of Rs.75, 000. They wanted to make Rs.7 lakhs, but the controlled rate could not be manipulated and so they lost about Rs 2 lakhs.

        Mr.Nihchaldas revealed that these merchants were prepared of place the whole matter before a court of law, provided they were given immunity from prosecution as abettors.

       Mr. Nihchaldas made it plain that these merchants were no making any allegation against the Premier; in making an appeal to him to give his serious attention to the matter.

        He further mentioned that the numbers of notes they had passed were known and he was convinced that direct evidence available in conjunction with circumstantial evidence was strong enough to bring about a conviction in the case.

         Either the story was correct or false. If it was correct the guilty party must be punished for making a false statement. The merchants were prepared to risk the danger of being prosecuted for making false charges if their case was not proved, Mr.Nihchaldas submitted.

            Mr.Nihchaldas submitted that the monopolists were the Government, and the syndicates were merely their agents, and he recalled an adage that a country where the Government did the business was bound to be coined.

              Mr.Nihchaldas further stated that the managing agents of the syndicate and a local go-between also, a tout he said, who did business on their behalf and passed on the commission to them keeping a share for himself.

           There were cries from some members for naming the man, and Mr.Nihchaldas did so, the person concerned being and employee of the Cooperative Bank.

PRICE CONTRAL VAGARERS

              He further submitted that system of price control was very defective and for three years it has been working, while small fries charging a few annas in-excess has been brought to book, not a hair of the wholesalers banking money by the thousands has been touched.

                 Col.Mahon said that the House was grateful to Mr. Nihchaldas for performing a great public duty. He could see no reason why established trims of 100 years standing were overlooked and the wheat business passed on to a newly created syndicate.

                   Col.Hossack recalled that when the syndicates were being appointed, he had expressed the greatest doubt about its ability to conduct a business of this magnitude.

                      He further asked the Premier to call upon the managing agents of the syndicate to refute the charges made against them and to appoint a tribunal to go into the allegations made by Mr.Nihchaldas. Nothing hour of a tribunal would satisfy the added.

                   Mr.Khoso, Mr.Mohmed Usman Soomro, S.B Jafferkhan, Mir Allahdad khan Talpur and Sheikh Abdul Majid spoke on the commotion, cridicising the syndicates and the price control policy of the Government.

          Sheikh Abdul Majid in his speech indicated that they were going put the cut motion to vote.

PREMIER’S REPLY

                The Premier, replying stated at the outset that the price control and rationing were entirely in the hands of the Government of India who were pursuing an all-India policy regarding them and in all Provinces, there was price control, rationing, procurement and purchasing syndicates.

                   The Premier, explaining his difficulties stated that while on one hand demands were made to reduce the prices the zamindars were clamouring to raise them and the was trying to hold the scales even between the two.  n ibition which is being held in Karachi from the 25tH e ago, I was approached by the Government to open war Services

           The Premier stated that they had received complaints about the managing agents and they had stopped them from making purchases And now they were trying to make the experiment of making the purchases through the official agency.

      Regarding the wheat syndicate the Premier stated that they were trying an experiment to have local syndicates of zamindars and merchants in all distriets and they had already instructed the collectors to appoint such syndicates.

      Mr.G.M.Syed: No syndicates now we want some other system, Are you going to abolish the syndicates or not. Otherwise, we are all going to vote against you in the cut motion.

          The Premier said that if the House did not want syndicates they would abolish them and would set up some other agency.

                  Regarding the allegation of bribery of Rs. 75,000, the Premier promised to make inquiries.

           Mr. Nihchaldas referred to the suggestion for granting immunity the merchants made by him in the speech.

            The Premier turning to the ministerial benches said that he (Mr.Nihchaldas) was trying to break the Ministry and to misguide them, advising them not to them listen to him.

CUT MOTION WITHDRAWN

          The cut motion was withdrawn and the grant was mad.

                        Mr. Fraser moved a third cut motion of Rs.5 in the demand under “Police” with a view to raising a discussion on inadequate salaries paid to the police officials and constables, which was withdrawn after an assurance from the Home Minister.

                     All the grants were made and the Assembly rose to meet again on Monday at 2-30 P.M. to resume consideration of the Land Alienation Bill.

Majority of Ministers Done Disservice

CITY MUSLIM LEAGUES REQUEST TO JINNAH

Karachi, Monday- At a meeting of the Working Committee of the City Muslim League yesterday Dr.A.A.Khan presiding, the following resolutions were passed:

       The Working Committee of the Karachi City Muslim League condemn the attitude adopted by the Premier and his Government in dealing with question allocation of seats to different communities in the Karachi Municipal Corporation whereby he has completely ignored the League which justifiably claims to be the sole representative body of the Muslims of Karachi and invited such persons who enjoy no confidence of the Muslim public. The Working Committee appoints a sub-committee to meet the President of the Sind Provincial Muslim League and acquaint him with the situation and request him to withdraw the League support to the proposed bill in this matter.

             “The Working Committee of the Karachi City Muslim League is of the opinion that a majority of the ministers in the present Ministry have done disservice to the cause of the League and the Muslim nation and in view of the law-lessenss and corruption of the Sind Provincial Muslim League request the Quaid-e-Azam and the Committee Action to withdraw their support from such corporation Ministers.

Karachi, Wednesday, July 26, 1944

BRIBERY AND PROSECUTION

 Sheikh Abdul Majid’s adjournment motion given notice of on Monday with regard to the failure of the Premier to promise immunity from prosecution to those who are said to have paid Rs.70,000 to a Sind Minister for raising the price of rice with a view to profiteer in this commodity was ruled out by the chair as the matter was discussed only a day previously and no new circumstances calling for adjournment have been brought of the notice of the House Mr. Fraser’s cut motion on the supplementary grants on Saturday was withdrawn on the assurance what the food grains syndicates would be abolished. The question of the prosecution of the minister who is said to have received the bribe and the appointment of a tribunal to investigate the working of these syndicates are two different issues.

         It is true the Premier did not commit himself in any, way on these two issues just at that time. Now we see he has already started assuming a nonchalant attitude with regard to the demand for immunity from prosecution of those who are alleged to have paid the money. There are some reasons for. If immunity is given and the Minister is prosecuted as a bribeaker the exposures concerning some individual members of the cabinet will so disgrace the administration that there will be and alternative or the ministry but to resign. The Premier argued that if some people had paid money they were as such criminals as the person who works it and the bribe-givers must like the consequences of the law it was they who offered the mutations. If they proved the se they could still be prosecuted bribe-gives. The Government, said would not offer immunity. But the extraordinary circumstances attending this particular matter should not be ignored. The legation is not against a minor fry. It is against a minister occupying a responsible and influential position. It was made on the floor of the House by the leather of the Opposition, not on irresponsible person as his record of service for seven years in the Assembly shows. A minister in will move heaven and earth escape from the charges leveled against him and can influence even lose trying the case in the lower part. He can even spend money apishly. He will have the assistance of some other ministers we him from the impending fate. Wheat pressure will be brought to on the bribe-givers from sterile quarters to desist from prosecution at some stage or here. One minister involved May in another in the course of trial and it is in the interests both to hang on together.

           It is thus absurd to suggest that the aggrieved parties can go to hurt of law. The immunity is lord Halsbury, once Lord High Chancellor, A Tory and a bitter opponent of the Asquith administration, was its president. The tribunal found the ministers guiltless.

       In this country we should try to adopt and follow high parliamentary traditions as we aim at being a democracy, Charges made in parliament by responsible persons are never brushed aside and members are not told to go and file complaints in courts. The charges are against ministers as minister. They enjoy a special position from which they can abuse their authority and power. Here is a much worse case of alleged bribery and not of buying shares in a likely to-be prosperous, company on account of obtaining secret official information.

          If the purest standards of administration are to be maintained and ministers are to be above suspicion either immunity must be given to witnesses in a court of law or a tribunal must be appointed. Such tribunals are generally empowered to give partial or full immunity to witnesses to come out with all their information in the interests of justice. Mr. Hossacks has asked for such a tribunal what prevents the Premier from accepting the demand except that he is resolved to save a colleague from political death and social disgrace. He must remember that such an attitude reflects upon himself personally that he is shielding corrupt colleagues for reasons best known to himself.

Those Syndicates

 

Fearing defeat on the supplementary grants, the Premier of Sind has promised to abolish the grain syndicates. It is not that left to himself, he would ever have abolished them on the other hand, he would have allowed all those connected with them to become millionaires. But unfortunately for them and luckily for the poor consumers, small merchants and zamindars there will soon be an end of these syndicates.

             What is the intention of the Government after their abolition? Will the same syndicates be brought in another garb? The Government must follow a straight and honest course. Free trade must be restored on account of which the old channels of buying and selling will be opened within the province. But if it is found necessary to exercise control over exports and to maintain price levels within the province so that it may not suffer from famine on account of indiscriminate exports and hoarding then Government should allow zamindars and merchants to bring their produce to the markets and sell it at the fixed price without the Government earning a heavy commission. It is nothing short of State profiteering to sell grains at a higher price to the people of the province than is warranted thereby imposing an indirect stomach tax. It must not charge higher prices from purchasers outside who are in need of grain to keep body and soul together.

        The syndicates much go; Government making a profit out of the sales in Sind and outside must stop; the old channels of trade must be restored on the condition as they court such be prosecutes bribe-givers. The Government, said would not offer immunity. But the extraordinary circumstances attending this particular fatter should not be ignored. The legation is not against a minister occupying a responsible and influent floor of the House by the leather of the Opposition, not an irresponsible person as his record of service for seven year in the Assembly shows. A minister in lice will move heaven and earth escape from the charges leveled ainst him and can influence even trying the case in the lower part. He can even spend money apishly. He will have the assistance of some other ministers to him from the impending fate, eat pressure will be brought to on the bribe-givers from isterial quarters to desist from prosecution at some stage or over. One minister involved may in another in the course of trial and it is in the interests both to hang on together.

         It is thus absurd to suggest that aggrieved parties can go to a purt of law. The immunity is for on the wider ground of purity of administration. Men the top are not like men at the bottom in the administrative ladder. The bad example of top men satiates the whole administration and every rogue is emboldened to make money without the least fear consequences because the bigger agues at the top have neither be courage nor the conscience to at down corruption. That is why were Working Committee of the Sind Muslim League has passed a resolution in despair saying is honey bed with corruption. In our opinion, there is no way out of it unless these Augean stables are no roughly cleansed but the Premier of Sind stands in the way gravely apprehensive of the developments in the course of an open rail.

     But the matter cannot be allowed to rest where it is in as much it is a grave scandal that any minister charged with taking heavy bribers should be allowed to continue in office. The Premier has certain courses open to him and the public are not going to allowed sleep over the matter. As the head of the ministry, he can call the leader of the Opposition and ask him to place before him the evidence he has in his position to satisfy himself whether one of his colleagues is really involved. If he is the Premier’s first duty is to colleague is to do so is his simple and obvious duty.

          We shall recall the procedure adopted in England with regard to the Marconi shares. The Conservative, Opposition charged is the House of Commons some leading members of the Liberal (Asquith) Cabinet with dabbling in Marconi charges from information officially on their possession as these were said to be a very good source of investment. Mr. Lloyd George was due of the accused persons. He and Sir Rufus Isaces (Lord Reading) offered their resignation as ministers. Mr. Asquith refused to accept it but instead appointed a tribunal to investigate the matter.

        What is the intention of the Government after their abolition? Will the same syndicates be brought in another garb? The Government must follow a straight and honest course. Free trade must be restored on account of which the old channels of buying and selling will be opened with in the province. But if it found necessary to exercise control over exports and to maintain price levels within the province so that it may not suffer from famine on account of indiscriminate exports and hoarding then Government should allow zamindars and merchants to bring their produce to the markets and sell it at the fixed price without the Government earning a heavy commission. It is nothing short or State profiteering to sell grains at a higher price to the people of the province than is warranted thereby imposing an indirect stomach tax. It must not charge higher prices from purchasers outside who are in need of grain to keep body and soul together.

             The syndicates must go: Government making a profit out of the sales in Sind and outside must stop; the old channels of trade must be restored on the condition that nobody should export grail except under a license the price being fixed. That is the only way to remove the grievances and complaints of zamindars and merchants.  

                 An official agency for purchasing and selling, i.e. a whole bureaucratic machinery from top to bottom, in substitution of the syndicates, is no acceptable alternative at all. There will be as many sharks in the official agency as in the syndicates. Every officer connected with the trade will make his pile and corrupt officers in Sind are the rule instead of the exception. What right has Government to livert the channels of trade? Within the broad limitations of control imposed by the necessities of war, the trade must be as free as before and Government’s hand must be withdrawn as much as possible, and Government’s profiteering must stop altogether.

The Sind Observer

                              TO MR.JINNAH              (July 27, 1944)

        The foremost League politicians of Sind (including Muslim ministers) will be in Lahore by the weekend to represent their case to the High Command when the resolution of the Sind Muslim League Working Committee comes to be considered. This resolution charges the Ghulam Hussain ministry, among other things with bribery, corruption and nepotism, with doing nothing practically for the uplift of the Muslim masses, and of creating, in short, an atmosphere in the administration from top to bottom in which every many can demand and take his price without the least fear of being called to account. A whole brood of parasites, hangers=on and go-betweens has come into being, as result of the existence of this ministry, which, like locusts, is sucking the honey of this province.

             Corruption and bribery are the causes, among other things, for the revolt of the younger section of the Muslim League organization of this province, led by Mr.G.M.Syed, against the present ministry, who passed a vote of no-confidence in it a few weeks ago. There is a wide gulf prevailing between the ministerial section and the Syed section in the League. The latter are in a majority and stand for the purity and uprightness of the administration and for quicker and far-reaching social and economic development of this province, though they are full of communal hatred and are no friends of the Hindus. They love dictatorship and their chief proclaims himself to be a socialist standing for the nationalisation of land.

             The Muslim ministers, with the exception of probably one, are weather-cocks, desperately anxious to be in office—yesterday Allah Buxites, to-day Leaguers tomorrow independents, and day after to-morrow, heaven knows what! One or two may even declare themselves to be Hindu Mahasabhaites if that enables them to be in office. In fact, they have no principle and no party. They are there in the League as soldiers of fortune and when it ceases to attract them they will transfer their allegiance to some other party. It is all opportunism of the worst type. Power and pelf are the main attractions, not the good, the progress and the happiness of this province. At this very moment some of these ministers are in active negotiation with certain members of the Opposition and are also promising offices to some of the men sitting on Government benches in the event of the decision of the League at its Lahore meeting going against them. If for instance, the League calls upon its ministers to resign, they will do nothing of the sort. They will immediately form a new party to keep themselves in office. They have no loyalty to the League. Their loyalty is to their own selves. The League is only a façade to policy. Every recalcitrant fellow has got to be purchased. The worst fruits of provincial autonomy are being reaped.

        A house divided against itself cannot stand. This house of Mr. Jinnah in Karachi is tottering to its very foundations. Muslim minister is against Muslim minister, Hindu ministers are against Muslim ministers and all are making an unedifying exhibition of themselves in the public. Muslim members of the Assembly are kept in hand by bribes and concessions and kept up together by war on the Hindu. The representatives of the Muslim masses are not satisfied with domination of Jagirdars and Zamindars in the Assembly to keep them under their servitude. All the signs of a rapidly disintegrating ministry which can continue in office only to the greatest detriment of the province are present.

           The Muslim League High Command has to take a decision at Lahore. It cannot be postponed on some pretext or other. The house that Jinnah has built in Sind is crumbling. There must be a clean sweep and then reconstruction. If not section 93 is the only way out.

To The Government of India.

       The policy with regard to food is the Government of India’s: the execution of that policy is that of the Provincial Governments. The system of syndicates started in Sind has been thoroughly exposed in the Legislative Assembly and the Premier promised to abolish it. Having advanced to the syndicates crores of rupees from public treasury, in what are the Premier think he able to liquidate them restore the informal channel of trade. Government future policy with regard to procurement and distribution ought to be announced as early as possible so that those who adopted the grains trade as their occupation in the past may be ready to restart their closed businesses.

           The Government of India must call for copies of the full report of the debate last Saturday on the supplementary grants to know what mischief the men connected with the syndicates are doing Open allegations of corruption against a minister have been made. He is said to have received Rs.70, 000 to raise the price of rice. Immunity for witnesses was asked for to prove the case against the minister. The Premier of Sind is reluctant to do so lest his ministry should come into utter disgrace, Culprits cannot be expected to sanction their own prosecution. They will try to hush up everything. The Present Sind ministry will never accord immunity as asked for by the leader of the Opposition, Guilty conscience comes in the way.

            It is the Government of India which for the sake of the purity of the food grains administration and with a view to protect the general consumers should ask the Governor of Sind to initiate proceedings against the bribe-takers and those who have indulged in malpractices in buying and selling grain on principle and no party. They are there in the League as soldiers or fortune and when it ceases to attract them they will transfer their allegiance to some other party. It is all opportunism of the worst type. Power and pelf are the main attractions not the good the progress and the happiness of this province. At this very moment some of these ministers are in active negotiation with certain members of the Opposition and are also promising offices to some of the men sitting on the Government benches in the event of the decision of the League at its Lahore meeting going against them. If for instance, the League calls upon its ministers to resign, they will do nothing of the sort. They will immediately form a new party to keep themselves in office. They have no loyalty to the league. Their loyalty is to their own selves. The League is only a façade to cover their questionable acts.

          The Muslim League organization is bitterly opposed to its so called representatives in the ministry and wants to get rid of them for the sake of a purer administration. As things are, it is not going to support the present ministry whole heartedly. There have been many scuffles between two feuds will increase and blood will flow. That is the suspect before the League. Mr.G.M.Syed has drawn his sword against the Premier and the Minister and if they are supported by the League High Command it is said he goes out of the League show.

           Although the attitude of the man in the strict is ‘a plague upon both your houses,” we are afraid we are steadily drifting in this province towards a position when the application of section 93 will become necessary. Some in high accuse are already working in that direction and they are very much pleased indeed at these dog-fights and communal legislation which has torn the communities asunder.

           The ministry itself is ramshackle and rickety one. Communal legislation such as the abolition of joint electorates in brought muniapalities and the passing of the land Alienation Bill has created widespread discontent among the minorities. Ministers have opposed to another on the floor of the House throwing joint responsibility on the winds. There is not such a thing as a united cabinet. One Section in the cabinet is trying to get the better of the other. It is a struggle for power and existence. The Muslim majority in the Assembly is kept in hand by passing communal legislation to down the Hindus and by personal favours preferred on every supporter of the ministry. Every session of the Assembly creates a crisis and ministers and their supporters are the loggerheads on some issues ministers go about with their lives their hands. Under such conditions there can be no efficient administration and a long range open allegations of corruption against a minister have been made. He is said to have received Rs.70, 000 to raise the price of rice. Immunity for witnesses was asked for to prove the case against the minister. The Premier of Sind is reluctant to do so lest his ministry should come into utter disgrace, Culprits cannot be expected to sanction their own prosecution. They will try to hush up everything. The present Sind ministry will never accord immunity as asked for by the leader of the Opposition. Guilty conscience comes in the way.

           It is the Government of India which for the sake of the purity of the food grains administration and with a view to protect the general consumers should ask the Governor of Sind to initiate proceedings against the bribe-takers and those who have indulged in malpractices in buying and selling grain on behalf of Government. The Government of India with a view to put down corruption has appointed special tribunals with summary are being launched against persons for not selling goods at controlled prices. Efforts are being made to close down the black markets with a high hand.

             All this appreciated by the public. But there should not law only for the smaller fry and no law at all for the bigger fry. In the department of food which the Government of India has a special interest, deplorable things have happened in Sind. Is the Government of India going to sleep over this question? What guarantee is there, if it does not take some strong action at present that its food grains policy in Sind will be honorably pursed? At the time when bribes were given to raise the price of rice, New Delhi came down with a flat to stop it; the minister received the money and the Banias lost it; and they are pestering minister to return their money. Their total loss is on the whole about two lakhs on account of having to satisfy other minor deities instead of making a profit of seven lakhs. They went and related the whole story to the leader of the Opposition to Mr. G.M.Syed, the President of the Sind Muslim League and some other office-bearers of the League. The latter is against the ministry on account of such happenings. The evidence is there. What is required is only immunity to get rid a corrupt minister of ministers.

              The Governor of Sind ought to be instructed to take the necessary steps in the matter which may be

No.2164

Dear Sir,

                I am to refer to your letter No. 2088 dated the 16th November 1944, and directed by the president Sind Provincial Muslim League, to state as follows:

                             

                1. There exists a group of people in the City of Karachi who have personal enmity against the Hon’ble Mr. M.H. Gazdar. These men have been carrying on an adverse propaganda, through the press and the platform, with the purpose of harassing him. The first part of the letter of Dr. A.A. khan, therefore, is self-evident.

                  2. The Sind Provincial Muslim League, previous to this, had framed no rules under which the Muslim League elections could be held. When Sayed Zakirali Sahib,deputed by the All India Muslim League came to tour this

Should be conducted under rules framed by the Sind Provincial Muslim League. In view of this advice, the election rules of the United Province, with slight

changes to suit the local conditions, were adopted as

Procedure for elections. Under Rule 18 Clause ‘S’ of the constitution and Rules of the Sind provincial Muslim League 1944, the working committee, Sind Provincial

Muslim League, has powers to regulate, control and supervise the elections of the primary and District Muslim League Branches. In view of this the Working

Committee of the Sind Provincial Muslim League in its meeting held on the 25th September 1944, adopted this procedure for conducting the elections on the lines as followed in the United Provincial. Mr. Yusuf Haroon was

present in this meeting of the working committee and was asked to take up the responsibility of becoming a Presiding officer for the City of Karachi. Mr.Yusuf

Haroon, however, on account of his pre-occupations, declined the offer and suggested the name of the Hon’ble Mr. M.H. Gazdar to be the presiding officer,

for the City of Karachi.

               This group of people, headed by Dr. A.A. khan, had enrolled bogus members last year and came to the fore-front: and now finding that, by adherence to the election rules, they would not be allowed former malpractices in the ensuring Muslim League elections, have sent in this letter.    

                                            

     TO,                                                                                           Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

                Numerous references have been received in this office asking as to how and through whom the funds collect for the relief of famine-stricken people in Arabia should be remitted. Some time beak a notice appeared in the papers to the effect that a Control Hejaz Relief Committee has been formed in Karachi and that funds collected in this behalf should be sent to Seth Haji Abdul Jabber Fazl-i- Ilahi Treasurer, control Hejaz Relief committee South Napier

Road Karachi.

                             Would you very kindly inform this office regarding the credentials of the above mentioned committee and whether it can be sourly recemondod to the Mussalmans for sanding their subscriptions etc.

           It is to painfully noted that even books of membership of the Muslim league are refused to our workers, by the Presiding officer (Mr. Gazdar) and his workers the Provincial Sind league officer has refused to issue to us these books.

REGISTERED

TO,

         The Chairman,

         Committee of Action,

         All India Muslim League

          New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

                          I have been directed to submit to you this day the earnest request of the Working Committee of the City Muslim League Karachi to appoint some independent and disinterested person as the Returning officer for the Karachi City in place of Mr. Mahomed Hashim Gazdar and better for the whole of Sind in place of Mr.G.M.Sayed in the forthcoming elections of the Muslim League and to submit to you the correspondence exchanged in this connection between the City League and the Provincial League.

                            The Working Committee of the Karachi City Muslim League which met on the 3rd December 1944 resolved as under:-

                   “The Committee humbly requests the chairman and the committee of Action of the All India Muslim League and the Qaid-e-Azam to appoint some independent and disinterested person as the Returning officer in place of Mr.Mahomed Hashim Gazdar for Karachi City and better for the whole of Sind in place of Mr. G.M.Sayed to control the elections of the Muslim League in Sind, inter-alia on the following grounds:-

1)    Mr.Mahomed Hashim Gazdar is not a disinterested and independent person. At present he has no support of any party in Karachi and he is anxious to create some to serve his purpose, measure however mean and his appointment as the Returning Officer will therefore create corruption for the forthcoming elections whereby he may be in a position to bring his majority.

                  The present Working Committee of the City Muslim League Karachi which represents approximately 25,000 Voters do not subscribe to the views of Mr. Mahomed Hashim Gazdar so far as the Muslim Interests and League solidarity is concerned. Anti-League activities of Mr.Gazdar and his conduct to create dissentions in the Muslim rank and file prejudicial to the Muslim interests, forced the city Muslim League to recommend to the Parliamentary Board his expulsion for a period of three years from the League organization. Hence the Karachi Mussalmans who have no confidence in Mr.Gazdar do not expect any fair-play and justice from him in the elections which are ahead. His past conduct creates still more apprehensions.

                  Quite recently Mr.Gazdar had the adaucity, and daring to impose ban on the meetings organised by the City League to organise the Muslim under the flag of the Muslim League and thereby implicated a crushing blow to the prestige of the League organisation. This shows what sympathy for the League, Mr. Gazdar has.

                   Mr. Gazdar’s vindictiveness and selfishness in quite well known; his past career bears ample testimony to the act that it is foolishness to expect that he will deal out justice and impartiality in these elections. Mr. Gazdar wants his own Party strong enough to control the League opinion so that it may serve his purpose and speaking plain truth Mr.Gazdar wants Gazdar League and not the Muslim League in Karachi.

           Apparently Mr.Gazdar and Mr.G.M.Sayed may appear to be opposed to each other but this is not true; it is a mere pretended show; at least it is not so, so far as the city Muslim League, Karachi is concerned. The course which the political events in Sind and the Muslim League politics took during the last about 2 years makes it more than enough manifest that Mr.G.M.Sayed has violently abused his powers as the President of the Sind Provincial Muslim League. He (1) utilized the name of the League for capturing power and authority for himself. (2) utilized the League all along for his personal ends and made the league rather Sayed League. (3) Willingly adopted unfair crooked means in conducting the election last year and brought his majority by books and crooks; and shut cut others by his dishonest means and rulings. The officer of the Tharparker District created a good deal of commotion unmask his dishonesty.(4) The way in which he conducted himself and the powers he used have more or less discredited him in the eyes of the Mussalmans in Sind and has been also openly denouncing the reputed Muslim Leaguers.

                     He is now afraid least he might have to part with the power, he has wrongfully seized and captured and therefore instead of depending on the results of elections, he has appointed only those persons who are “HIS MEN”.

                              Taking into consideration all these things City Muslim League also raised the voice against his anti-League activates and refused to play the role of “YES MEN”, to his back and call. Therefore to wreck his vengeance upon the City League be has intentionally and dishonestly appointed Mr. Gazdar. Mr.Gazdar has been playing and will play the role of a puppet in the bands of Mr.G.M.Sayed as his position without Mr.G.M.Sayed is nothing. Mr.G.M.Sayed throw this weakness of Mr.Gazdar. Therefore Mr.G.M.Sayed is sure Mr.Gazdar’s implicit obedience himself (Sayed) and has therefore appointed him as the Returning officer.

               Next the appointments of Returning officers in other districts too likewise, have been made on the same considerations for instance in Tharparkar District he appointed Sayed G.M.Shah who at present is the General Secretary of the Sind Provincial Muslim League and also the Secretary of the Tharparkar District Muslim League. The object before G.M.Sayed is to establish Sayed League, and to capture all powers to himself.

                                    We therefore request you to kindly appoint some independent and disinterested person as the Returning officer for the City of Karachi in place of Mr. Mahomed Hashim Gazdar and better for the whole of Sind in place of Mr.G.M.Sayed in the forthcoming elections of the Muslim League.

President:-

      Leader Municipal Muslim League Party,

The General Secretary,

Sind Provincial Muslim League,

Karachi.

Dear Sir,

                         I have already made an application to you for receipt books to which I have received no reply as yet.

                          In continuation of my application I would like to quote a for rules and sub-clauses which are laid down in the rules and regulations of the elections rules of the Sind Provincial Muslim League. Rule No.5 clause No.23 Sub-clause No.15 on page No.11 states, “That the Primary, District or city Muslim League have been unsatisfactory in issuing receipt books for the enrolment of the membership to their opponent party and have caused hindrance in their work the Presiding officer of the Provincial Muslim League will report to the Provincial Muslim League office and the office will issue receipts books to such men.” From this clause you will see that if the office Bearers of the city Muslim League, as laid down in the rule, may at some time be unfair to we opposite party, therefore this safeguard has been laid down for the opponents. If the office Bearers of the city Muslim League have the power of not issuing receipt books when it is natural that they have the inherent right to issue receipt books to any members of the public desirous of enrolling as members. Therefore under this a clause, I request that the office of the Provincial Muslim League should supply me receipt books. Further I have been told to receive these books from the Presiding officer. I state that no where the rule is it laid down that the books for the enrolment of the members should be obtained from the Presiding officer. in fact rule No.4 clause No.22 lays down in the last sentence that “ He will be responsible for complete election.” This does not mean that he is responsible for complete election.” This does not mean that he is responsible for the enrolment. Therefore I have a right to obtain the books from the central office of the Provincial Muslim League if I so desire.

                             

                               Against the argument you will quote rule No.8 Clause No.35 which states that the Presiding officer has to inform the Central office of the No. of receipt books issued No. of members enrolled and No. of receipt books left blank, and you will further state that if he is not the distributing authority how will be able to inform the central office about the details. In reply to this I state that the rule No.1 clause No.5 states that a Primary League after having enrolled the members will send a completed list of the new members. Also clause No.7 further clarifies that a copy of the list will be submitted to the Sind Provincial Muslim League and to the Presiding officer. Clause No.8 Further states that the Presiding officer will after giving due consideration as to the validity of the membership will attest his signature thereto and keep it in an open place to invite objections thereto. 

          

                                You will see that the Presiding officer’s duty to see that the list of members prepared is valid after having invited the objections and then to hold elections under the rules and instructions laid down in the elections rules. You will find that rule No.5 which describes powers and duties of the Presiding officer does not mention that has distributing authority for the receipt books. Also there is plenty of time after the enrolment date and the election date for the Presiding officer to comply with rule No.8 clause No.35 and it is natural that if any Primary League does not comply with this, it will be declared invalid.

                              I therefore, request you that you will kindly issue me receipt books or end a reply to my letter within three days giving reasons why the receipt books cannot be issued to me so that I may take up the matter with the Higher Authorities.

                                                                     Yours Faithfully,

                                                                                      PRESIDENT,

Dated the 30th December, 1944

      My dear Mr.Syed,

                         A deputation consisting of Mr.A.A.Aziz and Mr.Haqqani interviewed the Chairman and myself on the 28th instant and placed their complaints before us. Their primary complaint is that neither the city Muslim League of Karachi nor its branches have been supplied with membership forms by the election office appointed by you for Karachi in spite of their repeated requests to him and representations to you. If the facts stated by them are correct then we are of the opinion that this is highly repressible. Would you please let us know why the president, Secretary and other office-bearers or the City League have been prevented from enrolling primary members.

                          Their second complaint is that Mr.Gazdar who has been appointed by you to supervise the election of the City Muslim League Karachi is an interested party and is acting in a hostle manner towards the other parties in the Karachi Muslim League. The Chairman wrote to you some time ago suggesting should be appointed as Election officer in Karachi and at least not a party men. We again advise you to accept this suggestion.

                         The Deputation also asked us to suggest to you to extend the time for the enrolment of members. The time prescribed by you for the enrolment of members is 15th of January, 1945, but in view of the fact the gentlemen had been deliberately debarred from securing the membership for nearly a month and a half we consider their request to be reasonable and therefore advise you to extend the time for enrolment of members to February, 23th which will also be in conformity with the directions issued by the Committee of Action to the Provincial league some month ago.

                                      We hope that you will make a prompt inquiry as to why Mr.Gazdar has been consistently refusing to supply the office-bearers of the City League with Membership Forms.

                         We may add that these complaints have been given to us in writing and they bear the signature of the Vice-President and the Secretary of the City Muslim League Karachi.

    

                                                                                                      Yours Sincerely,

Sir,

           We the U/S members of Muslim League, Distt. Tharparkar (Sind). Are to lay down our pitiable case and hope that it will meet your favourable and sympathetic consideration:-

         Dr.A.A.Sayed, present President, Sind Provincial Muslim League, with short cited idea of party feeling, has been trying during last two years, to put us in a disgraceful state of affairs, for which 30,000 Muslims of Thar Parkar Distt, and all Muslim of Sind, are witnesses. Not only has so much but the records of Sind Provincial Muslim League born evidence for the facts.

         Since that by Mr.G.M. Syed was elected as President, he organised party-split and tried his utmost by exacting himself day & night.

            By inferring of the Bye-Laws, be nominated members and office bearers for Thar Parkar Distt, and for All India Muslim League Council, for investigation of which All India Muslim League Working Committee appointed a Committee, but the decision given by this Committee has not yet been complained with.  

                  This year, he has issued a circular for election of Primary Branches and Distt, Muslim League, wherein has deliberately with the Muslim League procedure and Bye-laws as follows:-

a.     He has fixed the dates of election in whole of Sind which are act in accordance with bye-laws & rules of the Muslim League.

b.    He has withdrawn powers and rights of the Distt. Muslim League.

c.      All the dealises were contemplated by him.

d.    He has not recognized the Muslim league brandies having more than 500 members.

e.     He has accepted miners and false members.

f.       He has accepted the repartee of some of the branches after the fixed dates.

g.    Apart from the above he has done so many irregularities viz,

h.    He has not called for Provincial Muslim League.

i.       He called a meeting in Mirpurkhas on 19/4/44.

     For which he had no authority to do so. He discarded Muslim league branches having more than 500 members, and members of those branches due a suit and injunctions of the Civil court prohibiting the irregular elections, as the representatives of 10,000 members could not take part in the election. But with all that be contemplated the election even irregularity.

              In view of the above facts, we beg to request the favour of your kindly cancelling the above-mentioned elections and postpone the Sind Provincial Muslim League till the above matter is decided.

We beg to remain,

                                                                                            Sir,

           You’re most obedient Servants.

 

Date 1944.
