He was in charge of Finance. He represented the Muslim League and effectively blocked the functioning of the other ministries by not releasing the finances and was one of the main reasons why the Congress constantly urged the Viceroy to demand the resignation of Muslim League members. Initially the Finance portfolio was given to John Mathai but after the Muslim League joined the Interim government, it was given to Liaqat Ali Khan
