ABSTRACT
A meeting of the working committee of the Muslim League was held in Karachi on January 25, 1958. Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar was ill and the meeting was led by Maulana Akram Khan of East Pakistan. At the meeting, Chaudhury Khaliquzzaman presented two important resolutions. The first proposed that the League announce it would boycott the coming elections unless they were held on the basis of separate electorates. The second proposal was that Sardar Nishtar should be removed from the presidency and someone else should be elected. Khaliquzzaman did not suggest a name. He argued that Nishtar was too ill to discharge the duties of his office and thus had become a stumbling block in the path of the League's organizational and electoral campaign. On April 14, a Karachi industrialist, Haji Wali Muhammad, threw a party in honor of the new president of the League and presented an address of welcome.
