There were rumors of the new nation already in financial crisis. Pursuants to the partition, the Liquid Assets of the nation were to be divided between India &amp; Pakistan as per formula devised by Vicory Lord Mountbatten and the British Government. The Rs. 750 million promised &amp; owed to Pakistan, only Rs. 200 million was accumulated in cash receipts, treasury bills &amp; gold ingots at the treasury department, which was still under formation.<\/p>\n<p>Having learnt the financial facts of the new nation, Jinnah was taken back and become furious. It is so believed that it was here, that Jinnah sent an \u201cSOS\u201d message to Sir Adamjee appraising him of the financial crisis. Soon after in Karachi, Sir Adamjee &amp; son Wahid were approached by Hatim Alvi \u2013 a member of The Muslim League and Ghulam Muhammad the Finance Minister, seeking financial assistance. The relevant branch of the Imperial Bank of India in Karachi, where migrating refugees collected and enchased their receivables was running in to liquidity problems on lack of funding from Bombay. It wasn\u2019t until November of that year, that the funding would arrive in a mysterious way. There was a credit entry at the Bombay treasury which was transferred from an account of the Imperial Bank of India believed to be belonging to Adamjee Dawood.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c19ab36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c19ab36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">QUAID\u2019S WORDS ON ADAMJEE<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cd8e06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cd8e06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Quaid-e-azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his Condolence message on the death of Sir Adamjee Hajee Dawood expressed:<\/p><p><strong>A.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cHe was a loyal muslim and rendered great service in our struggle for Pakistan.

The book would not have been complete without the help of Saleem Tabani, Administrator, Adamjee Foundation, who provided the photographs and documents that from the appendices and Adam Noor Honorary General Secretary of the Bombay chapter of MEWS who provided us with the latest information on the working of MEWS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">We would also like to think Adnan Ahmed and Hasina Adamjee, the granddaughter and great \u2013 grandson of Sir Adamjee, for conducting the research for the book at the British Newspaper Library at Colindale, London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Ashraf Adamjee, a grandson of Sir Adamjee, contributed tremendously to the biography in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">terms of time and interest. The Chapter on Adamjee&#8217;s confrontation with the Swedish match king, Ivar Krueger has been contributed entirely by him, as have grealy benefited by his keen perception and eye for detail.
