The Story of A Photo



By Alamgir Khan


13th Dec 1949, the first day of Miangul Abdul Haq Jahanzeb as Wali of Swat State.

On 12th Dec 1949 the then Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaqat Ali Khan tied the ceremonial Paggri on his head.

 A rare example in the history of kings and princes  of  a father leaving the throne to his son, when actually he could very well have ruled for at least another ten years.

In the picture Miangul Abdul Wadud Bacha Sahib, Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan, and Miangul Abdul Haq  Jahanzeb are speaking on the occasion.


Today we the people of Swat need to exhibit the same spirit of selflessness to regain our lost paradise.
