 	PIA's compiled list is by no means an exhaustive list.
	But let us talk about Sir Shahnavaz Bhutto, Hazrat Mirza B.M. Ahmad,
	and Khaaksaars.

	Well, Hazrat Mirza B.M. Ahmad's role and to be more exact Ahmadis'
	role is not really documented officially in Pakistan. Since any thing
	related to Ahmadis is controversial, and it may lead to another
	long discussion with  people like Mahfooz Jaffry dumping their
	crap on the net: therefore serious dudes/dudettes should do their
	own resarch and may want to discuss it over email.
	Good place to start will be Qudrutullah Shahab's "Shahabnama".
	He specifically talk about role of Ahmadis in Kashmir. If I remeber,
	correctly, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali aslo talk about this in his
	autobiography.

	As far as Khaaksaars are concerned, they are no no in Pakistan
	They might have worked for Pakistan and Muslims, in fact I have,
	no doubt about it, but again they were not approved by Muslim League,
	and thus are not given credit in Pakistan. In fact, M.A. Jinnah
	was afraid of their attack on him the day he arrived in Karachi
	for the last time from India in August 1947.
	Side Track: Allam Mashriqi, a famous scholar from some place in
	what is now Pakistani Punjab was khaaksaar's leader. He was
	one of only three Muslims from Pre-1947 India who topped
	tripos examination in Mathematics at Cambridge University,England.
	The three Muslim wranglers included Allama Mashriqi,
	Prof. Raziuddin Siddiquee of Hyderabad Deccan who later
	became V.C. of Karachi University, Peshawar University, and
	Islamabad University(Now Quaid-e-Azam U.), and third one from
	Madras.
	And how about Shoresh Kaashmeri, he has contributions towards
	Pakistan, but again he is not acknowledged officially.

	Sir Shahnavaz Bhutto was against Pakistan.
	He was never a member of Muslim League, and infact always
	ran against Muslim League candidates in election. During
	partition he was Divaan of Junagarh State. While the ruler
	of Junagarh was visiting Pakistan to sign a STANDSTILL agreement
	with Pakistan for future annexation with Pakistan, Sir Shahnavaz Bhutto
	invited Indian Army in the disguise of Azad Hind Fauj and handed
	over the state of Junagarh to India.
	Sidetrack: Navab Dilavar Khanji, heir to the last ruler of Junagarh
	became Sindh's Governer during Zulfiqar Bhutto's time. Huge number
	of Muslims from Junagarh came to Pakistan, and quite a few
	Memons( those who read Gujrati Dawn and speak Memoni) came
	to Paksitan from Junagarh.
	And since we are talking about Sir Shahnavaz Bhutto, his son
	Mr. Zulfiqar Bhutto was arguing in Indian courts that he is an
	Indian citizen so he still has rights on his family's property
	in Bombay and Pune(where he went to college before going to Berkley)
	while he was  a Minister in Pakistan.
	So for a while we had an Indian citizen as a minister in Paksitan.
	Moojh say Ghalib yeh Elae nay Ghazal likhvaaee
	ek baydaadger renj fezaa aur sahee
