Ghulam Haider Wyne (born 1940-September 29, 1993) was a renowned Pakistani politician. Since independence in 1947 his family moved from India to Pakistan. He was the Leader of the Opposition (Pakistan) and former Chief Minister of the most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab.
Between 1990 to 1993, he held the office of Chief Minister, when President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dissolved the Constituent Assembly and suspended his government between Punjab in 1993 along with the governments of Nawaz Sharif in Pakistan.
Ghulam Haider Wyne’s record was clean and without the mark. He had risen in the National Assembly from an ordinary political worker to the opposition leader, and later to the chief minister.
He regretted that the country had not adopted Quaid-i-Azam’s ideals and that the targets for which it had set Pakistan could not be achieved. He was a down-to-earth leader who had devoted his life to the nation’s welfare.
In a dilapidated house in Mian Channu’s ghettos, he lived a plain and noble life. Unlike other leaders he’d never plundered national wealth. Once he presented a few copies of the daily Nawa-i-Waqt that had been kept in an old iron box and said that he had brought these copies from Amritsar when migrating to Pakistan. He visited England to raise school donations but never established his own home and his wife now lives in the home of her friend.
Political Career
Ghulam Haider Wyne was the founder and very first president of the Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust (NPT) founded in July 1992. He has provided the Nazaria-i-Pakistan Support near Johar Town Lahore with over 40 Kanal land. He founded over 18 educational institutions in Mian Channu, a small town that could be given a university status. This is why he remains known as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
Ghulam Haider Wyne was one such hero who was brutally martyred during the 1993 general election campaign by terrorists at Mianchannu (a small town on Lahore-Multan National Highway). This first episode of Martyrs of Democracy is dedicated to Late Ghulam Haider Wyne, former CM Punjab.
Ghulam Haider Wyen has always been a very challenging man to hold back. He was among the leaders most down to earth who never capitulated to even the most unfavorable circumstances.
He served Pakistan Muslim League as a die-hard karkun throughout his political life and his peculiar attitude toward the fellow workers remained the same even after he was elected as the CM Punjab. He was brutally assassinated near Mian Channu while doing the rounds of his 1993 election campaign.

Election of 1951
Following elections in West Punjab in 1951, Daultana was chosen in the Punjab Assembly as a Muslim League parliamentary leader and invited to form a cabinet. The cabinet of Daultana, including only one refugee official, was described as a landlord’s government.
He soon outlawed the Urdu daily newspaper Nawa-i-Waqt, which had been Mamdot’s supporter and initiated agrarian reforms in Punjab as chief minister. Daultana considered these land reforms, which technically provided tenants maximum tenancy rights as long as they paid their rent and cared for the land as the most progressive in the world.
However, opponents branded them as purely utilitarian, as they made no reference to a cap for large estates and instead sought to raise ten percent of the tenants ‘ share of the product.
Regulations Impacts
In fact, the regulations had little impact and then the landlords tried to deflect attention to the jagirs held by rival politicians who had supported the revolution in Pakistan.The removal of all jagirs made in Punjab since 1857 was suggested by his Administration.
This plan met with substantial resistance and was revised to exclude those prominent persons who were given grants in pre-days for unpatriotic and anti-practices. Land grants were restricted to religious organizations or military forces.

Daultana had resigned within days of Prime Minister, Sir Khawaja Nazimuddin’s arrival in Lahore. Sir Feroz Khan Noon succeeds him.

He migrated to Pakistan during the Partition of India in 1947, leaving his large landholdings in eastern Punjab which became a part of the Republic of India.
Chief Minister of West Punjab
Iftikhar Hussain was named the first chief minister of West Punjab in Pakistan on 15 August 1947. Having lost his constituents in the district of Ferozepur and vast lands in East Punjab, Mamdot tried to restore his power base in Pakistan. He formed the Allotment Revising Committee without official approval to foster new followers among refugees, and allegedly siphoned off his followers and former tenants properties and vehicles.
He was the rising land claimant amongst the refugees. He supported Mian Iftikharuddin, his minister for refugee resettlement. Whose reformist policies promoted the permanent settlement of refugees on evacuee property and surplus land belonging to larger landlords.
Along with his refusal to collaborate with the federally appointed Pakistan and the West Punjab Refugee and Resettlement Board, his stance contributed to Mian Iftikharuddin’s resignation and provided Mamdot with a free hand to distribute evacuee property as he wished.
Mamdot’s government was tainted by Factionalism. He disagreed with Mumtaz Daultana and Sir Francis Mudie aside from arguing with Iftikharuddin and Ghazanfar Ali Khan, the head of the Refugee and Rehabilitation Council. He called Mudie, West Punjab’s first governor, a “foreigner,” “pro-unionist” and “pro-Indian,” and Mudie, in exchange, blamed him on the grounds that he was already in power to get his hands on more on wealth.
Faced Extensive misconduct charges
Mamdot’s ministry faced extensive misconduct charges and was branded “incredibly dishonest” by one British official. Iftikhar Hussain khan was reported to have used public funds to directly purchase over 2,000 acres of prime agricultural land at negligible rates in Montgomery District, to grant several hundred acres of land in the same district belonging to Sir Khizar Hayat Tiwana to his nephew, and to secretly deposit over 100,000 rupees from the Kashmir Fund.
Rival lawmakers argued that by arbitrarily relocating their followers around the province, he weakened their powerbases. A spokesperson for the Rajput refugee group blamed Mamdot for not bringing refugees together in keeping with the districts from which they came and observed that one village had refugees from 13/14 separate districts in East Punjab, resulting in regular bases clashes.
Resignation From Ministry
Mamdot resigned as chief minister in 1949 and an official investigation was conducted against him in relation to maladministration. As no one was willing to establish a new cabinet, the governor of West Punjab took over the province directly.
Iftikhar mamdot left the Muslim League in 1950 to form a new faction, the Jinnah Muslim League, which contested against the Muslim League elections of 1951 headed by his arch-rival Mumtaz Daultana.
During the poll, one result of the allegations against Mamdot emerged as refugee members represented just 5 percent of the Punjab Assembly, with refugees making up around one-third of the total Punjabi population.
Later Life
He joined the Muslim League in 1953 and was appointed Governor of Sind by Sir Ghulam Muhammad in 1954. After Sir Ghulam’s departure from the political scene, he resigned from his post in 1955 and consequently remained in the political wilderness.
