Career

After his education, Rahim joined the

Muhammad Ali Bogra.[4]

For some time, he remained associated with Communist party, but also built personal relations with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1965.[4] After attending the socialist convention at the residence of Dr. Mubashir Hassan, J. A. Rahim played a key role in writing the party's socialist manifesto: "Islam is our religion; democracy is our politics; socialism is our economy; power lies with the people", on 30 November 1967. This manifesto was officially first issued on 9 December 1967. J.A. Rahim was made Pakistan Peoples Party's first secretary general after writing the party's constitution.[3][5]

Disillusionment with Bhutto

His relations with Bhutto deteriorated after Pakistan People's Party began purging the radical and ultra-left wings of the party and J. A. Rahim was also sidelined by Bhutto later.[7]

In July 1974, Rahim himself got disillusioned with Bhutto after seeing Bhutto's handling of internal affairs and publicly disagreed with Bhutto as he wanted Bhutto to deal with the matters efficiently, not by force.[7]

He was appointed Pakistan Ambassador to France by Bhutto just to get him out of the way and away from Pakistani politics. But he returned to Pakistan unscheduled.

Federal Security Force (FSF), and was thrown into jail in 1976.[2][8] Shortly afterwards, he was released.

A. Rahim.[2]

Death

In 1977, Rahim suffered a heart attack and died. He is now buried in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[2]
