Parliamentary Democracy after Independence

After
1947
independence,
the Government
of
Pakistan has faced serious problems in ruling both East
and West Pakistan, East and West Pakistan were the two
wings of Pakistan but it was hard for even Liaqut Ali khan
who was the first PM of Pakistan to hold them together as
Pakistan was newly established. After misleading by
Government there was military coup in 1958.
The war of Kashmir that was started in 1947, M.A Jinnah
and Liaqut Ali khan were busy to resolve the riots and the
problems that were faced by refugees. The pioneering

work was done by Liaqut Ali khan for the foreign policies of
Pakistan by proposing plans towards the constitutions
formulation.
The objective resolution was the prologue to the
further constitutions of Pakistan. The objective resolution
was passed in 1949 and is described as MAGNA CARTA
of the constitutional history of Pakistan. The US and Soviet
Union sent invitations to Liaqut Ali, although he chose to
pay benevolence visit to US first. Apparently it was
observed as a denial to Moscow and has been traced to
insightful unfavorable cost. He chooses to be neutral in
this cold war, declaring after independence of Pakistan
that it would not participate in the conflicting ideologies of
the nations. Later, he tried to make a visit to Soviet Union
but it didn't happen.
In the same year, M.A. Jinnah declares Urdu as the official
language of Pakistan, which ignited protest in East and
West Bengal, where the Bengali language was spoken
mostly. Jinnah also counters problems for the Chief
Commander of Pak Army, Gen. Sir Douglas Gracey who
refuses to obey the orders given by M.A Jinnah. Gracey
bicker that M.A Jinnah as the Governor General
represents the British Crown, which he himself was an
appointee and that is the reason why he didn't send
throngs to the Kashmir. And it was just not Army; Jinnah
also faced problems with Air vise Marshal Richard
Atchereley, and with the Chief Commander of the Navy

Rear Admiral James, who also refused to pay attention to


any orders given by M.A Jinnah.
During Khans occupancy, Pak and India agreed upon
resolving the Kashmir issue in a peaceful manner by the
efforts of UN. In that agreement it was decided to
ceasefire on 1st Jan 1949 and the unbiased plebiscite will
promulgate under the control of UN.
After the death of Jinnah in 1948, major problems arouses
from the religious minorities bursting in late 1949 and early
in 1950s. activist from Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan started to
hit the minorities in West Pakistan, which was later
slithered to India. After intellection of another war against
India, Liaqut Ali Khan met PM of India that was Jawaharlal
Nehru, who signed up on the contract named as Liaqut
Nehru Pact in 1950. The pact was an endeavor to better
the relations and lessen the tensions encountered by both
countries and also to guard the religious minorities on both
sides of the borders.
In 1952, the Bengali language movement reached on its
peak in east of Pakistan, when the riots started between
police and students near the Dhaka Medical college who
were protesting to have an equal status with Urdu.
The protesters were killed in a large amount. After
that, Government decides to provide equal status to
Bengali language as the state language of Pakistan in the
1956 constitution of Pakistan.
