Suhrawardy is considered to be one of the most competent politicians Pakistan has ever produced. He was blessed with God-gifted talent, was well-versed in the art of politics and right from the beginning of his career he proved to be a popular leader amongst his support base. He had strange relations with Jinnah. On one had he kept supporting Jinnah ever since the latter started trying to re-organize the Muslim League, after his return from self-exile, but on the other hand history has witnessed a number of ebb and flow in the relationship of the two. Though the main reason for it was the difference in the ultimate agenda, i.e. Jinnah was concerned about Muslims living all over India while Suhrawardy’s major focus was the people of Bengal; yet there were many other factors which did not allow the two leaders to consistently remain on the same page on the issue of few important political matters. This paper investigates that why Suhrawardy did not become Jinnah’s number one choice in Bengal and why he kept relying more on people like Isphahani and Nazimuddin? It also explores that why in spite of all the differences, the two spearheads never publically opposed each other?
