Early life and career
Ali was born in Jalandhar, India, in 1905 in a noble Arain family. He earned a Master of Science degree from Punjab University in 1927 and was commissioned into the Indian Civil Service.
He began his career in the financial sector of the Indian government and was one of the highest-ranking Muslim civil servants in the British Raj. In 1936, he began working for the Audit and Accounts Service, serving as the state accountant for Bahawalpur.
In 1945, Ali joined the British government and became the first Indian to be appointed financial adviser to the Secretary of State for War, Percy James Grigg. Before India gained its independence in 1947, he worked with Hirubhai M. Patel (a future finance and home minister of India) and Walter John Christie to prepare a document titled The Administrative Consequences of Partition.
During the Pakistani Movement, Ali was one of two secretaries to the Partition Council, which was presided over by Lord Mountbatten. Upon the formation of Pakistan, he became the secretary general of the new country and was instrumental in setting up a national budget. In 1951, he was promoted to finance minister.
Prime minister
Ali was made prime minister of Pakistan by Governor General Iskander Mirza in 1955, after the removal of Muhammad Ali Bogra. As prime minister, his greatest achievement was the development of the 1956 Constitution, which made Pakistan a republic and was designed to mix democracy with Islam.
Despite this success, Ali was unable to heal rifts within his political party, the Muslim League. Internal divisions led to the formation of a new party, the Republicans. The Republican Party claimed to hold the majority of seats in the National Assembly, but the Muslim League contested this. The Muslim League pressured Ali to check the Republicans, but Ali refused, saying that, as prime minister, he had to prioritize the interests of the nation over those of his party. As the situation deteriorated, he resigned both from the position of prime minister and from the Muslim League.
After resigning as prime minister, Ali remained politically active. He protested against the dictatorship of Ayub Khan and toured East and West Pakistan in an effort to unite democratic forces against Khan's dictatorship.
