Correct Answer:
D. 16 Oct 1951
The correct answer is 16 Oct 1951 because that is the exact tragic date Pakistan's first Prime Minister was assassinated during a public gathering.
- Step 1 (Historical Incident): On October 16, 1951, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan was addressing a public meeting of the Muslim League at Company Bagh (now renamed Liaquat Bagh) in Rawalpindi.
- Step 2 (National Impact): He was fatally shot by an assassin named Saad Akbar Babrak. His final words, 'May God protect Pakistan,' remain deeply etched in the nation's political history.
- Incorrect Options:
- 17 Nov 1951, 17 Sep 1951, and 17 Aug 1951 are incorrect calendar variations that do not match the historical record of this event.
