parts of the State fell into the hands of the Provisional Government. When the Nawab heard
of it, he fled to Pakistan with his jewels, many of his wives and his dogs, leaving Sir
Sha Nawaz Bhutto, his Dewan, a resident of Pakistan, to run the Government as best as he
could. The volunteer-army of freedom advanced rapidly and was welcomed everywhere with enthusiasm. It was indeed a difficult and delicate task that confronted Munshi. Lord Mountbatten, the Governor General, was for following a cautious policy with regard to Junagadh. The people of the country in general and of Gujarat and Kathiawar in particular were excited. In fact, the situation in Kathiawar was highly explosive and none of the leaders were in a position to hold the people in leash for long- Munshi enjoyed the confidence of- Sardar who was the inister for States. The full story of the strenuous efforts he made in regard to the Junagadh affair has not yet been told. With the flight of the Nawab, conditions in Junagadh went from bad to worse. Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto knew that he could not carry on the administration and wrote a letter to the Regional Commissioner of the Government of India at Rajkot asking him to take over the administration of the State. |
