A FORGOTTEN AMERICAN VISIT OF PAKISTANI PRIME MINISTER

PM SUHARWARDY DESPERATE TRY TO SAVE HIS SEAT OF POWER

Prime Minister Suharwardy wanted to visit the USA but there was no time available for him. He was in Cairo, when word came that the visit of French Prime Minister was cancelled and Prime Minister Suharwardy could visit the USA to meet President Eisenhower. The visit was a total failure and the US declined interest in the fate of Prime Minister Suharwardy. We see the resultant Martial Law in 1958.

The amazing photograph of the visit is not that of President Eisenhower receiving the PM but the photograph of the Prime Minister of Pakistan asking the US President to pose for his camera. Both foreign ministers, Foreign Minister Muhammed Ali Bogra and Secretary of State Dulles watch the event in mirth. It is worthy to share this memento with others.
