Nurul Amin
Nurul Amin ( Urdu نور الامین; * July 15, 1893 in the village of Shahbazpur, Brahmanbaria , British India ; † October 2, 1974 in Rawalpindi , Pakistan ) was a Pakistani politician. In December 1971 he was Prime Minister in Pakistan .
Act
After the separation of the Indian subcontinent from 1947/48 to 1952, Nurul Amin was Chief Minister of East Pakistan , today's Bangladesh. In the parliamentary elections in 1970 he was the only non-member of the victorious Awami League to win a seat in the general national assembly. Amin was a member of the United Coalition Party from 1971 until his death, of which he was also president.
prime minister
On December 8, 1971, then Pakistani President Yahya Khan appointed Nurul Amin as Prime Minister and instructed him to form a cabinet with the chairman of the West Pakistani People's Party, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto . At the beginning of the month, shortly before the outbreak of the War of Independence in East Pakistan , Bhutto had declared that it was impossible to work with Amin, but let himself be persuaded by Khan.
End of the presidency
After the West Pakistani soldiers surrendered on December 15, 1971, the administration had to cease operations. President Yahya Khan resigned and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was sworn in as the new President and Military Administrator. As a result of the loss of East Pakistan, Amin refused to accept the premier presidency and so this post remained vacant again until 1973, when he became Bhutto's deputy.
