Anjuman-i-Ithihaad I Balochaan

During the proceedings of the above-mentioned Jirga, Mir Yousaf Ali Khan was held in Mastung Jail. While he was in jail, members of a clandestine political party (Anjuman-i-Ithihaad i Balochaan), who were also deeply impressed by the struggle of the Indian National Congress, contacted Yousaf Ali Khan. They helped him during his solitary confinement. In 1931, after completing his sentence, Mir Yousaf Ali Khan came to Quetta where, along with Mir Abdul Aziz Kurd, Nawabzada Mir Abdul Rehman Bugti, Mohammad Hussain Unqa, Malik Faiz Mohammad Yousafzai and others, he officially announced the Anjuman-i-Ithihaad i Balochaan as a political party. Mir Abdul Aziz Kurd was elected as the General Secretary of the party while Mir Yousaf Ali Khan became its President.
