Karachi—The 135th birth anniversary of Sir Sultan Mohammad Shah Aga Khan III is being observed on Friday. The 48th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, known as Aga Khan III played a pivotal role in making the Pakistan Movement a success by inculcating political awareness among the Muslims of the sub-continent. To safeguard the interests of the Indian Muslims, the Aga Khan led a long and successful campaign for separate Muslim representation in the Indian legislature.
Under the leadership of Sir Aga Khan, the Simla Deputation brought success and confidence for the Muslims of the subcontinent. He was also chosen as the spokesman for the muslim delegation to the Round Table Conference where Allama Iqbal graciously spoke on the services of the Aga Khan for Muslims.
