Pakistan Movement inpsite of the ban on the political activities
in the Bahawalpur State. Some local organizations were formed

and its cause. These organizations carried out the aims &
objectives of Pakistan Movement in covert and overt fashion
while remaining within the ambit of law. The people of the State
knew that their future laid in the hands of the Nawab and their
views or choices would not matter much. Yet there was massive
frustration and obstacles at the creation of the new Muslim
homeland. The State of Bahawalpur join Pakistan within 50 days
of its creation. Even before that the ruler of Bahawalpur
provided extremely valuable financial and logistic support
during the 1st need of the life of Pakistan. At the same time they
were confident that their ruler was aware of the pulse of the
people. that Bahawalpur was a Muslim State, the public at large
did not feel the pinch of the direct foreign rule.
