Overview

Ghulam Haider Wyne had a clean and spotless record. He had risen from an ordinary political worker to the opposition leader in the National Assembly and later the Chief Minister. He regretted that the nation had not followed the principles of Quaid-i-Azam and the objectives for which he had established Pakistan could not be achieved. He was a down to earth politician who had devoted his life for the welfare of the nation. he led a simple and honourable life in a dilapidated house in the ghettos of Mian Channu. He never plundered national wealth like other politicians. Once he presented few copies of daily Nawa-i-Waqt which were kept in an old iron box and said he had carried these copies from Amritsar while migrating to Pakistan. He visited England to collect donations for schools but never built his own house and his wife is still living in her sister's home.

Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust

Ghulam Haider Wyne was the founder and very first chairman of Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust (NPT) which he established in July 1992. He provided over 40 kanal land to the Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust near Johar Town Lahore. He set up over 18 educational institutions in the small city of Mian Channu which could be given the status of a university. That is why he is still remembered as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan of Mian Channu after his death.

gollark: Yes, ANOTHER abstraction layer fixes all problems.
gollark: I really love how everything runs on a vastly complex edifice of highly abstract systems which literally nobody understands any more.
gollark: I know, it's just that without any containers running those shouldn't reach several gigabytes in size.
gollark: Which is weird, since I don't think I actually had any Docker containers.
