and

three
leaders
was

It
was

by

S.A.K.
Masud
Ahmad.
The
three
political
leaders
are
A.K.
Fazlul
Huq,
Huseyn
Shaheed
Suhrawardy
and
Khawaja
Nazimuddin.[3]
The
three
leaders
died
on
different
dates
but
were
all
buried
in
the
same
area
as
all
three
of
them
had
contributed
significantly
to
East
Pakistan
and
were
all
involved
politically.
A.K.
Fazlul
Huq
was
a
very
well
known
politician
who
was
famous
for
his
leadership
qualities.
One
of
his
most
important
contributions
was
being
involved
with
the
Bengali
Language
Movement.
He
also
presented
the
Lahor
Prostab
(Lahore
Resolution)
in
1940.
Fazlul
Huq
along
with
Huseyn
Suhrawardy
had
engaged
in
many
political
acts
such
as
forming
the
United
Front
in
the
1954
elections,
with
which
they
had
gained
victory
by
winning
the
most
seats.
Huseyn
Suhrawardy
and
Fazlul
Huq
had
also
worked
together
to
control
the
government
of
East
Pakistan.
However,
it
was
rumored
that
Suhrawardy
and
Fazlul
Huq
had
rivalry
between
them
which
had
caused
Fazul
Huq
to
step
down
from
politics.
Suhrawardy
was
known
to
be
the
founder
of
the
Bangladesh
Awami
League.
He
was
also
known
to
contribute
significantly
to
the
growth
and
development
of
East
Pakistan.
Suhrawardy
became
the
Prime
Minister
of
Pakistan
in
1956
but
resigned
in
1957.
Sir
Khawaja
Nazimuddin
served
as
the
second
Governor-General
of
Pakistan
from
1948
to
1951
and
also
served
as
the
second
Prime
Minister
of
Pakistan
from
1951
to
1953.
Suhrawardy
had
served
as
the
Minister
of
Labor
and
also
the
Minister
of
Civil
Supplies
under
Khawaja
Nazimuddin.
Even
with
all
these
achievements,
it
was
rumored
that
these
three
political
leaders
had
a
rivalry
with
each
other
in
terms
of
success.
However,
despite
their
rivalry,
three
of
the
political
leaders
were
buried
under
the
same
roof
of
the
mausoleum
of
the
three
leaders.[2]
