1955 Pakistani Constituent Assembly election

"I can see only one reason for it and that is, that if the Central dictatorship find that elections to the Constituent Assembly have not gone in their favour, inspite of gestapo methods, which are being used, they will find some means to file a suit and nonlegality of the Constituent Assembly thus prolonging their irresponsible rule at the Centre."

"Elections to Constituent Assembly have left ruling group in central position, with reasonable prospects of retaining power, though this will certainly be diluted by need to strike bargain with non-Muslim League elements and to broaden base of Cabinet. Their position by no means as strong as it was, and any vulnerabilities will be vigorously exploited by opposition."

"Whether it is representative of the people or not is another matter and I would firstly to consider to what extent it represents the various electoral colleges. That is does so it some extent is clear, although attempts were certainly made in Bengal, to temper with predilection of the members, by withdrawing section 92 just before the elections to the Constituent Assembly and thus influence the voting by such conduct."

"The elections were a peculiar type of elections which I have not understood from that day to this. I was elected by a Punjabi group to represent Sialkot, a place I had never been to."
