Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan (Næʍābzādāh Liāqat Alī Khān 
listen ,Urdu: لیاقت علی خان; born October 1895 – 16 October 1951), widely known as Shaheed-e-Millat (Urdu: شہید ملت Martyr of the Nation), was one of the leading founding fathers of Pakistan, statesman, lawyer, and political theorist who became and served as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan; in addition, he also held cabinet portfolio as the first foreign, defence, and the frontier regions minister from 1947 until his assassination in 1951. Allegations had been pointed towards the involvement of Afghan monarch Zahir Shah and the United States government in his assassination, though this claim has not merited any substantial evidence. Prior to that, he briefly tenured as the first finance minister in the interim government led by its Governor General Mountbatten.
