Rawalpindi:Pakistan The 75th death anniversary of Liaquat Ali Khan, Pakistan's first Prime Minister, was observed on Friday. Known as Shaheed-e-Millat, Liaquat Ali Khan played a pivotal role in the country's history.

According to Radio Pakistan, Liaquat Ali Khan was born in Karnal, East Punjab. He pursued his education at Aligarh Muslim University in India and Oxford University in the United Kingdom. His political career was marked by his collaboration with Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the struggle for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Sub-continent.

Liaquat Ali Khan was tragically assassinated in 1951 during a public meeting at Company Bagh in Rawalpindi, a site which has since been renamed Liaquat Bagh in his honor.
