Intro
In 1945 (Oct), on his way back to India, Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan visited Palestine to personally observe the situation. The Palestine Post, a local daily paper reporting under the heading, “Indian Moslem Leader Visits Palestine”, wrote: “[…] he had come to see for himself the position of both Arabs and Jews. Though his sentiments were with the Arabs and his Moslem brothers […]”. (The Palestine Post, Jerusalem, Thursday, 4 October 1945, p. 3)(See al-Hakam of June-2021).
In 1947 (Aug?), immediately after the independence in 1947, under the directions of Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Sir Zafrulla Khan led Pakistan’s delegation to the United Nations for admission to its membership. It was during this visit that the Russo-American proposal to split the Holy Land into Jewish and Arab states was in the UN’s agenda. Sir Zafrulla Khan took an active part against the proposal with his mastery of knowledge and persuasive arguments (See al-Hakam of June-2021).
In 1947 (Sep-15), Glen Innes Examiner of Mon, Sep 15, 1947 ·Page 1 reports that Zafrullah Khan is in London, he flew in from Karachi and is complaining to the press about rioting in East Punjab only, Zafrullah Khan alleges that Muslims are facing extermination unless things change (See also Daily Record of Mon, Sep 15, 1947 ·Page 1).
In 1947 (Sep-16), The Daily Telegraph of Tue, Sep 16, 1947 ·Page 3 reports that Zafrullah Khan is in London and is accusing Hindu’s and Sikh’s of committing Mass Murder in the East Punjab and seek to exterminate Muslims.
In 1947 (Sep-16), The Daily Telegraph of Tue, Sep 16, 1947 ·Page 3 reports that Zafrullah Khan is in London and is accusing Hindu’s and Sikh’s of killing Muslims during the partition.
In 1947 (Sep-17), The Glen Innes Examiner of Wed, Sep 17, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that Zafrullah Khan had just landed in Flushing, NY. Zafrullah Khan commented that the situation in the Punjab is worse than a civil war (See also The Inverell Times of Wed, Sep 17, 1947 ·Page 1).
In 1947 (Sep-18), “The Age” newspaper of Melbourne (See page 18), Australia reported that Zafrullah Khan had arrived in New York from London via airplane. Zafrullah Khan complained about the partition of the Punjab and blamed the Indian Government, Zafrullah Khan was threatening to lodge an official complaint (See also The Northern Star of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 5, The West Australian of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 11, The West Australian of Fri, Sep 19, 1947 ·Page 12-13, The Daily Telegraph of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 3, The West Australian of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 10, The Kalgoorlie Miner of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 5, Daily Examiner of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 1, The Advertiser of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 2, The Canberra Times of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 3, The Armidale Express and New England General Advertiser of Wed, Sep 17, 1947 ·Page 2, The Daily News of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 3, Warwick Daily News of Thu, Sep 18, 1947 ·Page 3).
In 1947 (Sep-23), after Zafrullah Khan publicly blamed the Indian government for the murders in the East Punjab. The Indian Government responded and said that Hindu’s and Sikh’s were also killed in the partition. Zafrullah Khan said he wished to not bring this up formally in the UK, however, Zafrullah Khan made a point to mention “East Punjab” only, this is where Qadian is (See The Globe and Mail of Tue, Sep 23, 1947 ·Page 8) and he was only mentioning under his breath in terms of the Qadiani’s.
In 1947 (Sep-30), the Beaumont Journal of Tue, Sep 30, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that Pakistan had been accepted into the United Nations. Chaudhri Zafrullah Khan was there in plain clothes.
In 1947 (Oct-1), the Los Angeles Examiner of Wed, Oct 01, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that Pakistan was admitted into the UN via vote (Afghanistan was against it), Zafrullah Khan showed up non-chalant and in western attire (See also The Toronto Telegram of Wed, Oct 01, 1947 ·Page 19)(Clarion-Ledger of Wed, Oct 01, 1947 ·Page 1)(San Francisco Chronicle of Wed, Oct 01, 1947 ·Page 4).
In 1947, (Oct-7), on Tuesday, three speakers were scheduled to present their views in the ad hoc committee session on Palestine, including Sir Zafrulla Khan, but he was the only one who spoke. He made a 115-minute historical speech which resulted in attention-grabbing headlines all over the world (See al-Hakam of June-2021).
In 1947 (Oct-7), The Montreal Star of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 13 reported that Zafrullah Khan is in NY (Lake Success), and on Oct-6-1947, Zafrullah Khan (Chief Delegate of the New Dominion of Pakistan) gave a 2-hour lecture wherein he represented Pakistan’s position on the partition of Israel and Palestine. Walter O’Hearn commented that Zafrullah Khan was a neatly bearded gentleman and Zafrullah Khan looked like a late Victorian Composer. Walter O’Hearn reported that Zafrullah Khan simply repeated the same Moslem position, which was already known. In fact, all of the Muslim countries, voted against the creation of 2 states, Jewish and Muslim. Some of the American reporters commented that Zafrullah Khan reminded him of a “Southern Senator” in full filibuster. Zafrullah Khan told the press about a story from 2 years ago (1945), wherein Zafrullah Khan passed through Palestine and Muslims spoke to him and complained of discrimination. Allegedly, these Palestinian Muslims told Zafrullah Khan than Muslim immigrants are deported easily whereas Jewish immigrants are protected. Thus, Zafrullah Khan relayed the complaint. Zafrullah Khan told the press that he took up this issue with the High Commissioner Lord Viscount Gort V.C. Lord Gort. Both of them blamed the USA for Jewish immigration and Zionism. Zafrullah Khan tells a story of how Britian wanted to send 100k displaced Jews to Palestine in exchange with the USA for military aid. The newspaper reports that voting in the UN in terms of partition will commence soon and Muslim countries could win if they get 5 latin-american countries to vote on the Muslim side. However, they failed to do so and in Nov-1947, the UN voted to partition.
In 1947 (Oct-8), the San Francisco Chronicle of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 6 reports that the “Moslem Dominion of Pakistan” became the first member of the United Nations to line up solidly with the Arab countries against the proposed partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Muslim countries. Pakistan’s position on the proposed partition of Palestine was presented by Zafrullah Khan. Today, there was a meeting of the “Palestine Committee”, of which there are all 57 members of the UN. Zafrullah Khan called for an immediate end to Jewish immigration. Zafrullah Khan and Pakistan suggested a new independent Arab country for all to live in (Jewish and Muslim), which would replace the British League of Nations Mandate. The partition of British India is mentioned, Zafrullah Khan compares the proposed partition of Palestine with a new possible Negro state in the USA. Zafrullah Khan urges the UN to NOT partition Palestine and called it a monstrosity and also alleged that partition will create strife, rather than a cause to ally. The Waterloo Region Record of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 1 reports that Zafrullah Khan argued that Arab’s shouldn’t be grateful to Britian for independence, it is their right as humans (See also The Day of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 1). Pakistan joined the Arab nations (Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen) in opposition to the partition of Palestine (See The M’Alester News-Capital of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 2). Zafrullah Khan spoke for 1 hour and 53 minutes today (See The State of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 1)(See also The Expositor of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 20)(See also Record-Journal of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 9)(See also The Charlotte Observer of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 1)(See also Star-Phoenix of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 1)(See also Calgary Herald of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 3)(See also Corvallis Gazette-Times of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 1)(See also the Reno Gazette-Journal of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 11)(The Indianapolis Star of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 40)(The Ottawa Journal of Tue, Oct 07, 1947 ·Page 7)(See also The Mercury of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 2)(See also the Amarillo Daily News of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 16)(See also the Telegram & Gazette of Thu, Oct 09, 1947 ·Page 40).
In 1947 (Oct-9), The Advertiser of Sat, Oct 11, 1947 ·Page 1 reports that there was a sensation in the UN. There seem to be some troop movements which were spotted and relayed up. There seems to be lots of pressure about the upcoming UN vote on the partition of Palestine (in Nov-1947), since the USA and the USSR hadn’t taken a position. Zafrullah Khan seems to be a member of the “Palestine Committee” representing Pakistan and abruptly proposed that the committee close the general debate immediately without hearing from the USA and USSR. However, the chairman, Dr. Evatt declined. Dr. Evatt said that he expects a decision from these great powers on Saturday (See also The West Australian of Sat, Oct 11, 1947 ·Page 14)(The West Australian of Sat, Oct 11, 1947 ·Page 13).
In 1947 (Oct-14), the Toronto Telegram of Tue, Oct 14, 1947 ·Page 19 reports that 3 Muslim countries were vocal at the United Nations, Egypt, Pakistan and Afghanistan (7 were silent,
Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and Yemen). The Egyptian delegate warned of trouble and stated that Muslims would defend themselves. Zafrullah Khan was speaking for Pakistan and attacked America for abandoning the Human Rights charter of the UN. Zafrullah Khan also suggested that International Court of Justice be asked to decide on the legality of the British Mandate (aka occupation of Palestine). Zafrullah Khan also asked the UN to tackle the problem of displaced Jews in Europe as a problem separate of Palestine. The Afghani rep. barely spoke for 53 seconds and alleged that his country was against the partition of Palestine (also reported in 15+ additional newspapers).
In 1947 (Oct-17), The Jewish Press of Fri, Oct 17, 1947 ·Page 4 alleged that Zafrullah Khan’s arguments were weak and he was only a delegate since Pakistan had got independence.
In 1947 (Oct-17), the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph of Fri, Oct 17, 1947 ·Page 2 reported that Zafrullah Khan was town and set to visit the Ahmadiyya Temple at 2522 Webster Ave, Pittsburgh, the topic of his speech is “Islam and World Peace” at 2:30 PM on Sunday.

Zafrullah Khan was then elected as the chair of the sub-committee.
In 1947 (Oct-31), via the Deadwood Pioneer-Times of Fri, Oct 31, 1947 ·Page 5, Sir Mohammad Zafrullah Khan (Head delegate to the UN, from the country of Pakistan) is pictured giving his first major speech at the United Nations in New York. In this speech, Zafrullah Khan argued that the partition of Palestine into Arab-Jewish states was physically and geographically a monstrosity.
In 1947 (Nov-1), The Westralian Judean of Sat, Nov 01, 1947 ·Page 4 accused Zafrullah Khan of backing the Arab states and their extremist agenda.
In 1947 (Nov-2), a photo of Zafrullah Khan appeared in the Morning Examiner of Sun, Nov 02, 1947 ·Page 5 as well as the famous quote wherein Zafrullah Khan said that the partition of Palestine into Arab-Jewish states was physically and geographically a monstrosity.
In 1947 (Nov-7), The Jewish Press of Fri, Nov 07, 1947 ·Page 4 told the world that Zafrullah Khan read Islamic prayers separately from the Arab-Muslims who were also there. This happened in the “Arab sub-committee room”. A junior member tried to walk in and was stopped (See also The Southern Jewish Weekly of Fri, Nov 07, 1947 ·Page 1). A photo of Zafrullah Khan appeared in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin of Fri, Nov 07, 1947 ·Page 25, as well as the famous quote wherein Zafrullah Khan said that the partition of Palestine into Arab-Jewish states was physically and geographically a monstrosity.
In 1947 (Nov-8), the Transcript-Telegram of Sat, Nov 08, 1947 ·Page 1 reports that Zafrullah Khan criticized Russia’s use of veto power after Russia vetoed Portugal’s membership into the UN.

In 1947 (Nov-12), The Gazette of Wed, Nov 12, 1947 ·Page 2 reported that borders for 2 states, 1 Arab and 1 Jewish were being drawn up. Zafrullah Khan seems to be working with the Arab states and the report was available, however, Zafrullah Khan didn’t want to submit it.
In 1947 (Nov-14), the Burlington Daily News of Fri, Nov 14, 1947 ·Page 2 posted a photo of Zafrullah Khan appeared as well as the famous quote wherein Zafrullah Khan said that the partition of Palestine into Arab-Jewish states was physically and geographically a monstrosity.
In 1947 (Nov-17), The Guardian of Mon, Nov 17, 1947 ·Page 6 reported that Zafrullah Khan begged the political and security committee to put an end to the debate over South Africa’s treatment of Indian’s.
In 1947 (Nov-23), The Boston Globe of Sun, Nov 23, 1947 ·Page 18 mentions how Zafrullah Khan is a driving force with the Arab cause (the backing of only 1 Arab state, which failed).
In 1947 (Nov-25), the Star-Phoenix of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that the “United Nations Palestine Committee” rejected a proposal by the Government of Pakistan (via Zafrullah Khan), wherein Pakistan tried to reopen the question of boundaries of the proposed Jewish and Arab states. This would have delayed the upcoming vote. Zafrullah Khan submitted an amended proposal which attempted to have the boundary issue remitted to a 3 member commission appointed by the security council. However, this proposal was shot down 22-8. Zafrullah Khan also criticized how the UN was giving the desert of Negeb (Negev) to the Arabs and it was worthless. Zafrullah Khan seems to have called it a “useless gift”. This “useless gift” was given to the Arab Muslims from the USA and their spokesman, Herschel Johnson. Herschel Johnson heard about all of this and said that Pakistan misunderstood their motives. The voting will require a 2/3rds majority (On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 181 to partition Mandatory Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, passing with 33 votes in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions). On late Monday night, Nov-24, “The United Nations Palestine Committee” officially rejected the proposal of an independent Arab state, 29 votes in favor, 14 against, 14 abstentions and 2 absentees. They also rejected the other proposal, which was asking the “International Court of Justice” to investigate the competency of the UN to decide on the settlement of Palestine. Canada voted against both proposals. The vote on Thursday, Nov-29-1947 will be the final order of business for 1947 for the United Nations (See also The Ottawa Journal of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 6, See also Troy Daily News of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1, See also The Cincinnati Post

In 1947 (Nov-25), The Daily Telegraph of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 8 (See also The Daily News of
Wed, Nov 26, 1947 ·Page 19), reported that Fauzi Bey, the Egyptian delegate to the UN and he told the “United Nations Palestine Committee” that there was trouble brewing over the partition of Palestine. Fauzi Bey said that Jews of doubtful origin are amassing on the Black Sea at many ports and plan to attack Muslims in Palestine. This might cause other countries to invade. Fauzi Bey alleged that there were Russian agitators sneaking around with Jewish refugees. Hekyel Pasha, the Chairman of the Egyptian delegation to the UN, told the UN that if partition was enforced, the lives of 1 million Jews were in Jeopardy. Hekyel Pasha alleged that the current situation was that British troops can’t stop Jewish terrorism. Hekyel Pasha alleged that Arab-Muslims have always treated Jews good, however, this mass immigration could change that. Russia officially criticized the comments and role of the British in the partition of Palestine. It is also noted that Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan opposed the partition of Palestine. Zafrullah Khan states that any partition plan must come with a military presence (See the Daily Herald of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1).
In 1947 (Nov-27), The West Australian of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 14 reported that the plan for the partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states was approved yesterday by the “United Nations Palestine Committee”, the voting was 25 to 13 with 17 abstentions. The proposal will be considered and voted on today by the General Assembly, where a two-thirds majority is required for adoption of the scheme. Zafrullah Khan is reported to have been disgusted by the US governments tactics of trading the Negev desert (see also Warwick Daily News of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 3, The Townsville Daily Bulletin of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, The Central Queensland Herald of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 7, The Morning Bulletin of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, The Canberra Times of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, Daily Mercury of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, The Northern Star of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners’ Advocate of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 4, Daily Examiner of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1, The Daily Advertiser of Thu, Nov 27, 1947 ·Page 1).
In 1947 (Nov-28), The Day of Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that Dr. Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil, who is working as the President of United Nations assembly predicted that the partition of Palestine would be approve by a narrow margin. The vote is expected to be conducted later on today. Zafrullah Khan was mad at this and said that there is no point in making these types of prediction. Zafrullah Khan also stated that there won’t be peace in Palestine now. The Government of Pakistan (Cuba and Iraq too) accused many countries of collusion and pressure tactics. Zafrullah Khan said that the vote was being unfairly influenced. Zafrullah Khan alleged that the UN was on trial (over Palestine). Zafrullah Khan said that the UN had no right to cut up the Holy Land. The Arab countries were also arguing this! Zafrullah Khan blamed the US and Russia for pressuring the smaller countries to vote for partition. Zafrullah Khan also said if this partition fails, then the UN fails. Zafrullah Khan also said, if the Arab state doesn’t take form, the Jewish state will not be viable (See also The Evening Sun Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, The Ann Arbor News Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, The Harlan Daily Enterprise Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, Evening Express Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 22, The Durham Sun Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 12, The Richmond News Leader Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 3, The Windsor Star Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 2, The News Journal Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 4, Hope Star Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 11, Transcript-Telegram Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1 and many others).
In 1947 (Nov-29), The Toronto Telegram of Sat, Nov 29, 1947 ·Page 25 reported that yesterday, the UN voted to delay the FINAL VOTE on the partition of Palestine until today. Canada backed the delay. Countries like Afghanistan are asking the UN to look at the minority report on a possible federalized Arab-Israeli state. The final vote will take place during the day. Zafrullah Khan attacked, Canada, the USA and Australia since they voted against the recommendation to send people back to their country of origin or to place in countries wherein they can be easily absorbed.
In 1947 (Nov-30), Zafrullah Khan was quoted in the Al-Fazl of Nov-30, during the thanksgiving interval when the US was availing time to secure required majority for the Partition Plan, a correspondent asked Sir Zafarullah: What were the basis of successful negotiations between Arab and Jews? He replied: ‘If they agree to appoint me an Arbitrator I can solve the matter on correct lines (See Al-Fazl-Lahore, Dec-3-1947 and via British-Jewish connections book, page 267).
In 1947 (Nov-30), the Times Herald of Sun, Nov 30, 1947 ·Page 5 reported that Zafrullah Khan lost the case for Palestine at the UN.
In 1947 (Dec-1), via the Press and Sun-Bulletin of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 6 reported that Zafrullah Khan was so annoyed by the Arab Muslims (Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Arab league?)(Turkey, Afghanistan and Iran are non-Arab) that he walked out of a caucus meeting on Friday night at the Waldorf Astoria. Zafrullah Khan then refused to attend the official voting on Palestine on Saturday, however, Zafrullah Khan’s alternate did vote against partition. Zafrullah Khan only needed to flip 2 votes, it could have been the UK and Siam and Palestine would not have been partitioned (See also the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 18)(See also Oakland Tribune of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 2)(The Guardian of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 5)(and others)(See also the Corpus Christi Caller-Times of Tue, Dec 02, 1947 ·Page 14)(See also The Blade of Thu, Dec 04, 1947 ·Page 23).
In 1947 (Dec-29), The Kalgoorlie Miner of Mon, Dec 29, 1947 ·Page 5 reported that Zafrullah Khan has been selected (by Jinnah) to be Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Commonwealth Relations Minister. This job was previously being done by the Prime Minister, Liaqat Ali Khan. This increases the Pakistani cabinet to 8 (See also The West Australian of Mon, Dec 29, 1947 ·Page 9).

In 1947 (Oct-9), The Advertiser of Sat, Oct 11, 1947 ·Page 1 reports that there was a sensation in the UN. There seem to be some troop movements which were spotted and relayed up. There seems to be lots of pressure about the upcoming UN vote on the partition of Palestine (in Nov-1947), since the USA and the USSR hadn’t taken a position. Zafrullah Khan seems to be a member of the “Palestine Committee” representing Pakistan and abruptly proposed that the committee close the general debate immediately without hearing from the USA and USSR. However, the chairman, Dr. Evatt declined. Dr. Evatt said that he expects a decision from these great powers on Saturday.

In 1947 (Oct-7), The Montreal Star of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 13 reported that Zafrullah Khan is in NY (Lake Success), and on Oct-6-1947, Zafrullah Khan (Chief Delegate of the New Dominion of Pakistan) gave a 2-hour lecture wherein he represented Pakistan’s position on the partition of Israel and Palestine. Walter O’Hearn commented that Zafrullah Khan was a neatly bearded gentleman and Zafrullah Khan looked like a late Victorian Composer. Walter O’Hearn reported that Zafrullah Khan simply repeated the same Moslem position, which was already known. In fact, all of the Muslim countries, voted against the creation of 2 states, Jewish and Muslim. Some of the American reporters commented that Zafrullah Khan reminded him of a “Southern Senator” in full filibuster. Zafrullah Khan told the press about a story from 2 years ago (1945), wherein Zafrullah Khan passed through Palestine and Muslims spoke to him and complained of discrimination. Allegedly, these Palestinian Muslims told Zafrullah Khan than Muslim immigrants are deported easily whereas Jewish immigrants are protected. Thus, Zafrullah Khan relayed the complaint. Zafrullah Khan told the press that he took up this issue with the High Commissioner Lord Viscount Gort V.C. Lord Gort. Both of them blamed the USA for Jewish immigration and Zionism. Zafrullah Khan tells a story of how Britian wanted to send 100k displaced Jews to Palestine in exchange with the USA for military aid. The newspaper reports that voting in the UN in terms of partition will commence soon and Muslim countries could win if they get 5 latin-american countries to vote on the Muslim side. However, they failed to do so and in Nov-1947, the UN voted to partition.

In 1947 (Oct-8), the San Francisco Chronicle of Wed, Oct 08, 1947 ·Page 6 reports that the “Moslem Dominion of Pakistan” became the first member of the United Nations to line up solidly with the Arab countries against the proposed partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Muslim countries. Pakistan’s position on the proposed partition of Palestine was presented by Zafrullah Khan. Today, there was a meeting of the “Palestine Committee”, of which there are all 57 members of the UN. Zafrullah Khan called for an immediate end to Jewish immigration. Zafrullah Khan and Pakistan suggested a new independent Arab country for all to live in (Jewish and Muslim), which would replace the British League of Nations Mandate. The partition of British India is mentioned, Zafrullah Khan compares the proposed partition of Palestine with a new possible Negro state in the USA. Zafrullah Khan urges the UN to NOT partition Palestine and called it a monstrosity and also alleged that partition will create strife, rather than a cause to ally.

In 1947 (Nov-25), the Star-Phoenix of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1 reported that the “United Nations Palestine Committee” rejected a proposal by the Government of Pakistan (via Zafrullah Khan), wherein Pakistan tried to reopen the question of boundaries of the proposed Jewish and Arab states. This would have delayed the upcoming vote. Zafrullah Khan submitted an amended proposal which attempted to have the boundary issue remitted to a 3 member commission appointed by the security council. However, this proposal was shot down 22-8. Zafrullah Khan also criticized how the UN was giving the desert of Negeb (Negev) to the Arabs and it was worthless. Zafrullah Khan seems to have called it a “useless gift”. This “useless gift” was given to the Arab Muslims from the USA and their spokesman, Herschel Johnson. Herschel Johnson heard about all of this and said that Pakistan misunderstood their motives. The voting will require a 2/3rds majority (On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 181 to partition Mandatory Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, passing with 33 votes in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions). On late Monday night, Nov-24, “The United Nations Palestine Committee” officially rejected the proposal of an independent Arab state, 29 votes in favor, 14 against, 14 abstentions and 2 absentees. They also rejected the other proposal, which was asking the “International Court of Justice” to investigate the competency of the UN to decide on the settlement of Palestine. Canada voted against both proposals. The vote on Thursday, Nov-29-1947 will be the final order of business for 1947 for the United Nations (See also The Ottawa Journal of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 6, See also Troy Daily News of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1, See also The Cincinnati Post

In 1947 (Nov-25), The Daily Telegraph of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 8 reported that Fauzi Bey, the Egyptian delegate to the UN and he told the “United Nations Palestine Committee” that there was trouble brewing over the partition of Palestine. Fauzi Bey said that Jews of doubtful origin are amassing on the Black Sea at many ports and plan to attack Muslims in Palestine. This might cause other countries to invade. Fauzi Bey alleged that there were Russian agitators sneaking around with Jewish refugees. Hekyel Pasha, the Chairman of the Egyptian delegation to the UN, told the UN that if partition was enforced, the lives of 1 million Jews were in Jeopardy. Hekyel Pasha alleged that the current situation was that British troops can’t stop Jewish terrorism. Hekyel Pasha alleged that Arab-Muslims have always treated Jews good, however, this mass immigration could change that. Russia officially criticized the comments and role of the British in the partition of Palestine. It is also noted that Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan opposed the partition of Palestine. Zafrullah Khan states that any partition plan must come with a military presence (See the Daily Herald of Tue, Nov 25, 1947 ·Page 1).

Zafrullah Khan also stated that there won’t be peace in Palestine now. The Government of Pakistan (Cuba and Iraq too) accused many countries of collusion and pressure tactics. Zafrullah Khan said that the vote was being unfairly influenced. Zafrullah Khan alleged that the UN was on trial (over Palestine). Zafrullah Khan said that the UN had no right to cut up the Holy Land. The Arab countries were also arguing this! Zafrullah Khan blamed the US and Russia for pressuring the smaller countries to vote for partition. Zafrullah Khan also said if this partition fails, then the UN fails. Zafrullah Khan also said, if the Arab state doesn’t take form, the Jewish state will not be viable (See also The Evening Sun Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, The Ann Arbor News Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, The Harlan Daily Enterprise Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1, Evening Express Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 22, The Durham Sun Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 12, The Richmond News Leader Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 3, The Windsor Star Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 2, The News Journal Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 4, Hope Star Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 11, Transcript-Telegram Fri, Nov 28, 1947 ·Page 1 and many others).

In 1947 (Nov-30), Zafrullah Khan was quoted in the Al-Fazl of Nov-30, during the thanksgiving interval when the US was availing time to secure required majority for the Partition Plan, a correspondent asked Sir Zafarullah: What were the basis of successful negotiations between Arab and Jews? He replied: ‘If they agree to appoint me an Arbitrator I can solve the matter on correct lines (See Al-Fazl-Lahore, Dec-3-1947 and via British-Jewish connections book, page 267).

In 1947 (Dec-1), via the Press and Sun-Bulletin of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 6 reported that Zafrullah Khan was so annoyed by the Arab Muslims (Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Arab league?)(Turkey, Afghanistan and Iran are non-Arab) that he walked out of a caucus meeting on Friday night at the Waldorf Astoria. Zafrullah Khan then refused to attend the official voting on Palestine on Saturday, however, Zafrullah Khan’s alternate did vote against partition. Zafrullah Khan only needed to flip 2 votes, it could have been the UK and Siam and Palestine would not have been partitioned (See also the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 18)(See also Oakland Tribune of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 2)(The Guardian of Mon, Dec 01, 1947 ·Page 5)(and others)(See also the Corpus Christi Caller-Times of Tue, Dec 02, 1947 ·Page 14)(See also The Blade of Thu, Dec 04, 1947 ·Page 23).

The worldwide praise for Hazrat Sir Zafrulla Khan’s role for the Palestine cause

If the partition project fails, Arabs must erect a statue of Zafrulla Khan as a tribute to his determination and wise logic
Ghulam Misbah, Lecturer, Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada
When it comes to Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khanra, religious extremists in Pakistan bury their heads in the sand, refusing to admit his services for Pakistan, let alone for the entire Muslim ummah. But his name is inscribed on the pages of history in such golden words that will never let him be ignored. Whether it is Palestine, Kashmir or any other major case of his time, he was always found fighting for the oppressed.
His significant efforts for the case of Palestine started in the 1930s, a glimpse of which can be read in his autobiography, Tehdis-e-Nemat. In it, he mentions his meetings with Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary of State for India, and Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in this regard. Apart from this, international media coverage of his vigorous efforts for the Palestinian cause is also an undeniable proof. In 1945, on his way back to India, Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khanra visited Palestine to personally observe the situation.
The Palestine Post, a local daily paper reporting under the heading, “Indian Moslem Leader Visits Palestine”, wrote:
“[…] he had come to see for himself the position of both Arabs and Jews. Though his sentiments were with the Arabs and his Moslem brothers […]”. (The Palestine Post, Jerusalem, Thursday, 4 October 1945, p. 3)
Immediately after the independence in 1947, under the directions of Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Sir Zafrulla Khanra led Pakistan’s delegation to the United Nations for admission to its membership. It was during this visit that the Russo-American proposal to split the Holy Land into Jewish and Arab states was in the UN’s agenda. Sir Zafrulla Khanra took an active part against the proposal with his mastery of knowledge and persuasive arguments.
On Tuesday, 7 October 1947, three speakers were scheduled to present their views in the ad hoc committee session on Palestine, including Sir Zafrulla Khanra, but he was the only one who spoke. He made a 115-minute historical speech which resulted in attention-grabbing headlines all over the world.

Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Saskatoon, Wednesday, 8 October 1947, p. 5
The Leader-Post of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada reported under the heading “Pakistan backs-up Arab case”:
“From non-Arab Pakistan has come the most lucid exposition of the Arab case and most damaging analysis yet heard of the majority Palestine report. A Zionist filibustering charge has been hurled at pale, grey-jowled Sir Mohammed Zafarullah Khan, whose comprehensive two-hour survey kept waiting Czech and Polish delegates off the floor. It would seem profitable here to disregard his highly illuminating discussion of the historic Anglo-Arab correspondence and to deal instead with those arguments directly relating to the majority findings.
“Panama’s Dr. Keyes had cited Ireland and India as examples of partition settlements Pakistan was born of Indian partition. For Pakistan Moslems partition was a credo and the essence of politics. Sir Mohammed, nonetheless, denied the analogy, arguing that in the Indian provinces Hindu and Moslem majorities had been established for centuries requiring no artificial creation stimulated by foreign funds. He insisted also that in India partition was founded upon mutual agreement and consent, prerequisites absent in Palestine. Partition was ‘physically and geographically a monstrosity from all other points of view.’ Even so, it might be accepted if it solved the Jewish problem. This is denied.
“Arabs in Majority
“The projected Jewish state embraces an estimated Jewish majority of 498,000, an Arab minority of 407,000. But the commissioners failed to include an Arab Bedouin population in Beersheba region, reckoned by the British at 91,000. These, say the Arabs, are settled Bedouins in the sense that their seasonal migrations do not take them across Palestine borders. The Jewish ‘majority’ therefore disappears.
“At least 180,000 of these Jews are concentrated, furthermore, in the single city of Tel Aviv, which implies a fairly heavy Arab preponderance in the rural areas. This admittedly is one reason for Zionist insistence on large scale immigration.
“But what will this mean for the Arabs? On the past record of the Jewish agency, clearly the end of restrictions on land purchase. This would spell Arab displacement, a process described as ‘inevitable’ in the report. It has been a fundamental principle of the Jewish fund that lands acquired should never revert to Arab control. What is to be the fate of the resultant landless proletariat? It is also axiomatic that Arab labor is to be hired only in cases of unavoidable necessity. Employment on the land is barred by threats of fines and even of forfeitures for third offences. The only remaining course would appear to be Arab migration. Would it not then have been more honest for the commission boldly to advocate a compulsory exchange of populations?

Clipping from The Leader-Post, Regina
“Claim untenable
“Sir Mohammed frankly conceded that Jewish enterprise in other respects had brought indirect benefits. This, he said, was also the ‘well-founded claim of the British in India.’ But Britain would be the last to claim this today as justification for imperial rule. ‘She has by her example shown such a claim to be untenable.’
“The Pakistan delegate seriously questioned the political and economic availability of the partition states touching here on doubles which are certainly widely shared.
“It is a basic Arab contention that the question of Jewish refugees should be divorced from that of Palestine, treated as a world humanitarian problem and turned over to the I.R.O.
“Professor Fabregat of Uruguay urged Monday that 30,000 Jewish children, their parents and any pregnant in the wretched European D.P. camps, be immediately admitted to Palestine. Sir Mohammed replied that 5,000,000 people in the Punjab were in an even worse plight, including 50,000 to 100,000 maimed and wounded children threatened with cholera. He then threw out challenging questions. What would be the reaction of the United States the ‘most prosperous, humanitarian and democratic nation in the world’ to a proposal that these people be granted immediate free entry into America? Would the UN be prepared to call on the United States to permit such unrestricted immigration? […]” (The Leader-Post, Wednesday, 8 October 1947, pp. 1-8)
The subheading in The Palestine Post was:
“The Pakistan delegate, Sir Mohammed Zafarullah Khan, who opened today’s debate, told the Committee that the proposed Partition plan for Palestine was ‘physically and geographically a monstrosity.’ The plan had ‘glaring iniquities’ and was ‘thoroughly inadequate’, he said.” (The Palestine Post, Jerusalem, Wednesday, 8 October 1947, p. 1)
Damascus based newspaper, Alif Ba reported:
[Arabic translation] “[…] the first speaker was Pakistan’s delegate, Sir Zafrulla Khan, who said […] ‘This project is terrible, and if it were to be implemented despite it being oppressive directly to the rights of Arabs, it will be the spark of initiating a war in the Middle East. And it will make the whole world lose confidence in the committee of the UN.” (Alif Ba, Wednesday, 8 October 1947, p. 1)

The Indian Express stated:
“Sir Zafrullah spoke for 115 minutes, occupying the whole session. Sir Zafrullah Khan established a record at least for this session of the General Assembly by his masterly speech. This was his first contribution to United Nations debates and it evoked this comment from an Arab Spokesman, ‘It was the most brilliant and exhaustive survey of the Arab case regarding Palestine I have ever heard.’ (The Indian Express, Madras, Wednesday, 8 October 1947, pp. 1-5)

Though some Jewish and pro-Jewish papers called this speech a mere “filibuster”, it really gladdened the Muslim world especially the Arabs who truly believed it to be the most powerful defence on their behalf.
An Egyptian daily newspaper, Al-Balagh, under the heading of “The Palestinian Problem and the effect of the address of the Pakistani Representative”, wrote:
[Arabic translation] “The Arab news’ special reporter stated that an unbiased representative has described the address of Sir Zafrulla Khan while advocating for the Palestinian Arabs in the special committee meeting that it was a silencing and irrefutable address. It is also mentioned that his address had a massive impact on many of the other unbiased representatives.
“Upon finishing his address after two hours, Arab representatives headed towards Sir Zafrulla Khan to greet him. Mr Jamal Alhusaini, a member of the Arab Committee, Dr Jamali, the representative from Iraq, and Mr Kamil Shamoon, the representative from Lebanon, all said to me that the representatives from Pakistan had defended the Arabs very well.
“There is no doubt that Sir Zafrulla Khan chose to present his address at a time when America was about to present its political plans, which is why we saw in his address at various times him referring to them while speaking about the Zionists; especially when he spoke about the fundamental conflict between the US politics and the statement of Mr Truman who had said that the right of people to decide their future is one of the essential rituals that the external politics of the US rely on.
“And there is no doubt that the address of Sir Zafrulla Khan is the most truthful defence of the Arabs to date, though I had initially thought that he was speaking just to better the relationship between Pakistan and the Arab countries.
“Some of the Indian sources have mentioned that the fact that Pakistan is defending the Arabs, could make the Indian representatives remain firm and strict on their stance in that regard, though the representative from India was one of the supporters for the suggestions presented in favor of the minority.” (Al-Balagh, Cairo, 8 October 1947, p. 2)

Sir Zafrulla Khanra also served as chairman of the Arab sub-committee.
An Arabic daily newspaper, Falastin reported his 10 questions to the assembly. (Falastin, Jaffa, 20 November 1947, p. 1)
About the same meeting, a Jewish newspaper in America wrote:
“Pakistan’s bearded, charming Sir M. Zafarullah Khan did his utmost to defend the Arab statement. As chairman of Committee No. 2 he fulfilled his task with dignity.” (The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, Milwaukee, 28 November 1947, p. 3)
On 28 November 1947, just a day before the resolution of the partition was passed in the UN, Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khanra made yet another zealous speech showing his strenuous support for Palestine.
A daily newspaper of Jaffa, Al-Difaa, reported:
[Arabic translation] “Sir Zafarullah Khan once again stood against the partition in a great way. His attempt of presenting his statement was also very intelligent as he called upon all attendees to think logically about what was happening. He said that the committee had decided to commit the most violent pressure that would ever be seen. And they had intended to launch a project that would be against justice, logic and the law. There is not an iota of common sense in their logic, and stinging words.
“The reporter says, I have even heard one of the Arab representatives say that if the partition project fails, the Arabs must erect a statue of Sir Zafarullah Khan, as a tribute to his determination and wise logic when he said that if this project was to be enforced upon the Arabs, then the Arabs of the Holy Land would become its victims, and this decision would leave an untreatable scar on this worldwide conference, and it would make the Western world suspicious in all their activities in the third world countries of Africa and Asia. As I am telling you the truth that this project will completely abolish peace.” ([Daily] Al-Difaa, Sunday, 30 November 1947, p. 4)

The daily Falastin also published the same report in its 30 November issue.

After this visit to the USA, Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khanra, on his way back to Pakistan, also visited the Middle East where he was given a warm welcome. The honour and privilege he had in Arab countries requires a separate article. In spite of that, unfortunately, today, some people want such a heroic figure to be forgotten and consigned to the dust-heap of history.
