10 Things you get wrong about Pakistan History.

1. History was taught in Pakistan. Ayub Khan abolished the subject and replaced it with Pakistan Studies and Social Studies.

2. Liaquat Ali Khan was not Quaid-e-Azam's first choice. 🧵

Jinnah had offered the PMship of to the Nawab of Bhopal and Nawab of Bhawalpur.

3. Congress did not accept a separate Muslim country in the Lucknow Pact. Leaders in Punjab and Bengal were angry because it favoured Muslim minority provinces at the expense of the Muslim majority

4. Allama Iqbal did not mention Pakistan in the Allahabad address. He merely asked for Punjab, NWFP, Sindh and Balochistan to be merged into a province in the Indian federation

5. Pakistan's official day of Independence is 15th August as per the Indian Independence Act.

6. It is a lie to say the 1956 Constitution was never the law. It was the law of the land from March 23, 1956 to October 7, 1958.

7. Ayub Khan's decade of development was great for the rich but the poor did not even have the right to protest the injustice done to them.

8. We are told that India interfered to create Bangladesh in 1971. India was involved but there are a multitude of factors why Bangladesh was created.

9. There was no law and order situation and the G and the opposition had negotiated an agreement when Zia-ul-Haq imposed ML.

10. Pakistan Resolution was actually Lahore Resolution and it was passed on the 24th March, not 23rd March.
