Assassination[edit source | editbeta] ASALAM U ALIKUM. MY DEAR AFGHAN BROTHERS PLEASE READ THIS CAREFUL AND PLEASE SHARE IT. IT GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIRST PAKISTANI PRIME MINISTER THAT HOW HE WAS KILLED. MR LIAQUAT ALI KHAN PAKISTAN FIRST PRIME MINISTER WAS KILLED BY AFGHAN. I READ THIS IN WIKIPEDIA. On 16 October 1951, Khan was shot twice in the chest during a public meeting of the Muslim City League at Company Bagh (Company Gardens), Rawalpindi. The police immediately shot the assassin who was later identified as Saad Akbar Babrak. Khan was rushed to a hospital and given a blood transfusion, but he succumbed to his injuries. The exact motive behind the assassination has never been fully revealed.[42] Saad Akbar Babrak was an Afghan national and a professional assassin from Hazara.[43][self-published source][44] He was known to the police prior to the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan. The assassination is still a very big question mark because it was never investigated properly. Upon his death, Khan was given the honorific title of "Shaheed-e-Millat", or "Martyr of the Nation". He is buried at Mazar-e-Quaid, the mausoleum built for Jinnah in Karachi.[45] The Municipal Park, where he was assassinated, was renamed Liaquat Bagh (Bagh means park) in his honor. It is the same location where ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007.[46]
