Role Of Balochistan In Pakistan Movement

Before partition, Balochistan was the most backward region of Muslim India. The Muslim League was the first political organization to sponsor the cause of Baluchistan as set in Quaid’s Fourteen Points of 1929, in which a demand was made for the creation of a separate province for Balochistan.

Qazi Isa a young Pathan lawyer of Balochistan, established the Balochistan Muslim League incorporation with Quaid-e-Azam in 1939. A conference was, therefore, convened by Qazi Isa in Quetta in Jume, 1939, which introduced the League to the people of Balochistan.

This was followed soon afterwards by a visit by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, which gave further prestige to the League, and from then on it never looked back. In the annual session of the Muslim League at Lahore in March, 1940, there was a fair representation of delegates from Balochistan to support Pakistan Resolution.
