== '''Role of Mulana Azad in homecoming''' == | |||
Moulana Azad helped and also offer him the ambassador to Italy but Dr. Shedai chose, Dr. Shedai wrote in detail about Moulana Azad in his Travelogue. | |||
"On 14th Sepatember, 1946, His eminence Maulana Abul Kalam Aazad wrote to me from Masoori in which he advised me to return to India as soon as possible because, he said, that all patriots must come back to Dehli. | |||
I had no passport with which I could travel freely. I had the Italian passport but it too was to be renewed. The new Italian government did not like to renew it as my passport was issued during Signor Mussolini’s regime. | |||
I, therefore, wrote to Maulana Azad that the passport difficulty was a great hindrance in my return to India. He wrote to me in return that he was going to Dehli and would talk with Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru, the interim Prime Minister of the Indian Government. | |||
I had also informed my younger brother, Dr. Mohammed Jamal Bhutta, about my passport difficulty. He went to Dehli and met Mr.Asif Ali who in turn introduced him to Maulana Azad who was also in Dehli in those days. My brother explained to him my passport difficulty. | |||
The Maulana introduced him to Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru who, the Pundit, after hearing about my difficulty said that he had already written to me to come back. In reality, I had received a letter from Mr.Dyal, personal secretary of Pundit Nehru, that the Indian Government was in touch with the British Government to facilitate my return to India. | |||
(This letter of Mr.Dyal is still with me.)" [10] | |||
Source: The reason was that I had been asked by Maulana Azad to reach India as soon as possible. Sardar Ajit Singh who had met both Mr. Nehru and the Maulana wrote to me that they had decided to appoint me as the Indian ambassador to Italy.[11] | |||
