Historical Life Of Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan

Khan, Tamizuddin (1889-1963) politician, a noted minister of undivided Bengal, president of Pakistan Constituent Assembly and Speaker of the Pakistan National Assembly. Born in 1889 in a humble peasant family of Faridpur, the early life of Tamizuddin Khan reveals interesting insights in the odyssey of budding Muslims to carve out a place under limited opportunities under the colonial regime. His father's limited income from land was not enough to support his education. Tamizuddin had to find, like many Muslim students of the time, a jagir to prosecute his studies and later had to get married into a rich family to support his college education in Calcutta.

Tamizuddin Khan obtained an MA degree in English in 1913 and a law degree in 1915 and settled for legal profession in Faridpur. He took part in politics and was elected Vice-Chairman of Faridpur Municipality. He joined the indian national congress, also became Secretary of the Anjuman-i-Islamia and subsequently joined the muslim league. He participated in the Khilafat and non-cooperation movements and suffered imprisonment. In 1926 he was disappointed at his failure in the municipal election.

At the outbreak of Hindu-Muslim riots in various parts of India he got disillusioned with nationalist politics and devotef exclusively to Muslim politics.

Since 1920's the British government started extending franchise and include the upper segment of the peasantry into electoral politics. This made possible for Tamizuddin, having strong rural base, to come to the cynosure of all-Bengal politics. In 1926 he got elected to the Bengal Legislative Assembly from Faridpur defeating a Congressite Muslim landlord.

ak fazlul huq floated the krishak praja party in 1936. Tamizuddin Khan got elected from Faridpur under Muslim League ticket defeating his rival Congress candidate Humayun Kabir. Not being taken in the League - Praja Party coalition ministry he formed a new party called Independent Praja Samiti and clandestinely started negotiation with sarat bose, the leader of the Congress in the Bengal legislature. By mid June 1938 the Congress tabled a no-confidence motion against the ministry on the question of Bengal Tenancy Amendment Bill and Tamizuddin Khan, along with many disgruntled Praja leaders, backed the motion. However, the motion was defeated and Huq ministry survived. Thereafter Fazlul Huq decided to buy his position inviting Tamizuddin Khan in the cabinet. Initially he was given the portfolio of Medicine and Public Health, later, the ministry of Agriculture and Industries.

By 1941 a cleavage developed between Fazlul Huq and the Muslim League. Huq formed his second coalition ministry with shyama prasad mukherjI, the Hindu Mahasabha leader. Tamizuddin Khan joined the opposition in the Legislative Assembly with his other Muslim League colleagues.

In 1943, at the fall of Huq ministry a new coalition Ministry was formed under khwaja nazimuddin with the support of Independent Hindus and Europeans. Tamizuddin Khan became minister for education. In 1945, however, the government was defeated in a vote on a cut motion, and the Assembly was consequently dissolved.

Meanwhile the Muslim League made the demand for Pakistan its main issue. In the election of 1945 Tamizuddin was elected to the Central Assembly from Dhaka-Mymensingh constituency defeating abdul halim ghaznavi of Tangail. He was elected a member of the Pakistan Constituent Assembly. Later he was elected Deputy President of the Assembly with mohammed ali jinnah

 as President and on the latter's death in 1948 he became the President.

Tamizuddin Khan challenged the action of Ghulam Mohammad when he dissolved the Constituent Assembly in 1954; filed in the Sind Court a case entitled 'Tamizuddin Khan versus Federation of Pakistan' and won it. However, on appeal Federal Court dismissed the judgement of the Sind Court on the ground of 'state necessity', a dubious judgement.

Tamizuddin Khan, for some time, kept aloof from politics. He came back to active politics again and was elected an MNA under the 1962 constitution. He was elected the Speaker of the Pakistan National Assembly, the position he held till his death on 19 August 1963. [Manzur Ahsan]

Traffic jam eases at Daulatdia as ferry services resume

BIWTC and BIWTA dredged the Daulatdia–Paturia river channel to facilitate ferry movement.
Traffic jam in Daulatdia eased slightly Saturday after nine hours of frantic efforts by Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority. 
BIWTC and BIWTA dredged the Daulatdia–Paturia river channel to facilitate ferry movement. 
Ferry operation on the river route was suspended due to emergence of hidden shoals and poor navigability at the entrance points on both sides of the ferry ghats. 
Transpiration by ferries suffered a serious setback over the last couple of days that resulted in an immense sufferings to the passengers and vehicles. 
The situation led to 4-5 miles long queue of goods-laden trucks on Dhaka-Khulna highway across Daulatdia. Shortage of ferries, strong current and poor navigability in the river Padma are attributed to the frequent setbacks to the ferry operation.
 A regular scenerio being that vessels get stuck in hidden shoals and ferry services get interrupted. Ferry services resumed Saturday after an emergency dredging at the entrance point of Daulatdia river channel. 
Of the 13 ferries, seven RO-RO ferries and two K-type small ferries started sailing on the river route nine hours after passengers were left stranded. 
Sources said ferries could not reach Daulatdia from Paturia ferry ghat due to emergence of innumerable shoals on the river route. Lack of proper and timely dredging in the river Padma led to the situation. 
Hundreds of passenger buses and goods-laden trucks travelling to and from the south and southern districts had to wait for hours on both sides of ferry ghats.
 Heavy current and a rapid fall in water level were also bar to ferry movement with its full load and speed. On Saturday, two ferries Shajalal and Hamidur Rahman got stuck in hidden shoals and were later salvaged by tug boat. 
BIWTC Assistant General Manager Md Zillur Rahman of Daulatdia-Paturia ferry services Saturday told this correspondent two ferries Motiur Rahman and keramot Ali were out of service in the wake of technical glitch and had been sent to dockyard Saturday. 
Many big ferries are carrying passenger buses and goods-laden trucks at half their capacity due to strong current and hidden shoals in the river. 
Ferry master Kefayet Ullah of vessel Khanjahan said at least nine-fourteen feet depth of water were necessary for smooth ferry movement. 
The depth of water in the river is below nine feet at different points including those at Daulatdia and Paturia ferry ghats. 
Executive Engineer of BIWTA (Aricha) Md Tarequl Hassan said: “We started dredging to create 8,000 feet long and 2,500 feet wide new approach channel to maintain ferry services.

Dredging not Helping Daulatdia-Paturia Ferry Services

Authorities have started dredging the Daulatdia and Paturia channels of the Padma River, but water transport officials said ferry services on the route were unlikely to return to normal immediately. 
Sources said ferry operations between Daulatdia and Paturia were disrupted because of poor navigability due to siltation, submerged shoals, strong currents and low water level in the two river channels. 
Frequent suspension of ferry services on the route has been hampering communications between the capital, Dhaka, and 21 southwestern districts. 
Md Zillur Rahman, assistant general manager of Daulatdia river terminal, said a ferry, the Bir Shreshtho Motiur Rahman, carrying four heavy vehicles and a dozen microbuses, was stranded in shoal near the No:2 jetty overnight Monday. The vessel was salvaged Tuesday morning. 
Daulatdia-Paturia ferry services improved somewhat on Monday using an alternative channel. But navigability of the main channel remained poor, restricting ferry movement on both channels. 
Long queues of cars, buses and trucks were seen Tuesday afternoon at the Daulatdia ferry terminal, waiting for hours to travel on the Dhaka-Khulna highway. 
Meanwhile, dredgers could not be operated properly due to strong currents in the channels, said Tarequl Hasan, executive engineer of BIWTA (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority). 
A BIWTC (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation) official said a fully-loaded ferry needs two to three metres of water to move, whereas the current depth of the channels was below two metres. 
The water level was falling by eight to 10 centimetres every day, which calls for long-term dredging to restore navigability, he added. 
However, BIWTA officials claimed that the depth of the newly-opened channel was above two metres, and it would be possible to restore normal ferry operations soon.
