Qudrat Ullah Shahab RA and Pakistan

This is a misconception regarding an eminent beaurocrat of Pakistan i.e. Qudrat Ullah Shahab that he misguided President Ayub Khan at many times regarding Pakistan and led him to such policies which led towards isolation of this country in the world and prolonged period of so called dictatorship.

I am refereeing to an article published in some newspaper few months before in which writer tried to prove that Qudrat Ullah Shahab was himself a shy sort of person and in order to hide his mis led policies, he portrayed himself as a spiritual aspiration later.

Keeping aside all this stuff, I want to mention just one incident of his life which occurred on the last day of his secretaryship. He gifted a painting to president on which an Ayath of Quran e Kareem was written. It meant as why people didn't do the deeds which they ordered others to do.

Many of us would regard it as a normal incident but few points which I want to highlight go as follows.
In most of the cases in Pakistan, such dignitaries are not gifted in this way. Gifting an Ayath carried a lot to ponder. Then selection of such an Ayath which was specially meant to draw the attention of president towards such an important issue, rather an area Ayub Khan never paid attention.

I do not think such a person can ever mislead his president regarding such a blessed country. Stay blessed all of you...
