Mohammad Ibrahim Khan

Muhammad Ibrahim Khan Jhagra was a former governor (acting) of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan in 1950. Well known for joining Muhammad Ali Jinnah movement for Pakistani independence and known by the name Jhagra Khan for his resolve and popularity in the frontier. Khan was a former Congressite and was responsible for gaining support for the Pakistan Muslim League(PML) and helping win support for Abdul Qayyum Khan, the first Chief Minister of the province after independence. He was the General Secretary of the PML until he died of throat cancer. He died in England where he was supposed to be treated; he received condolences from many heads of nations including Queen Elizabeth II. He was well known in his province and was one of the only few leaders who supported Indian independence from the British. He was told to take part in provincial elections to become Chief Minister but declined on a number of occasions and became Governor during the time when Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated; he took charge to not let chaos break loose in the province since the frontier is home to many rebellion extremist forces. Khan's death came as a huge blow to the country and province in particular as he was the only figure keeping up support for the PML party. After his death the Qayyum separated and formed his own branch of PML. After him the next general secretary of the PML was later to be former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He is buried at his hometown of Jhagra in the North West Frontier Province, close to Peshawar. He is the father of Iftikhar Ahmad Khan Jhagra, Member Of Provincial Assembly Of NWFP and Saleem Ahmad Khan Jhagra, secretary of local and rural affairs.
