He was previously general secretary of the Communist Party of Pakistan. Born in village Janjhi, Taluka Chhachhro, Tharparkar, Saqi passed his matriculation examinations from Local Board High School, Chachro in 1962. Small wonder, then, that Pakistan People's Party emerged victorious in Sindh and Punjab, Awami League in East Pakistan and National Awami Party in North West Frontier Province (North-West Frontier Province) and Balochistan.
In 1971 when a military operation was initiated in East Pakistan, his organization brought out rallies against the military junta in Hyderabad and Nawabshah.
In 1983, he along with Professor Jamal Naqvi, Sohail Sangi, Badar Abro, Kamal Warsi and Shabir Shar was tried in a military court for allegedly acting against the ideology of Pakistan.
Stalwarts, such as Baloch leader Mir Ghous Bux Bizenjo, Benazir Bhutto, Khan Abdul Wali Khan, Tahira Mazhar Ali Khan, Mairaj Mohammad Khan, Fatehyab Ali Khan, Maulana Shah Mohammed Amroti, Manhaj Burna, Shaikh ALi Mohammad, Shaikh Aziz some renowned journalists and so on, were his defence witnesses. This case is also known as communist case or Jam Saqi case.
Jam Saqi is also an author
He has written a novelet “Khahori Khijan”, a book about students movement in Sindh “Sindh Ji Shagrid Tahreek”, while his court statements in the special military courts were published in book format (in both Urdu and Sindhi medium) with the names “Tareekh Moonkhay na wesarreendi” and “Zameer ke Qaidi”.
Saqi was imprisoned for more than 15 years because of his political activities. He left the Communist Party in 1991 and joined the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Trotskyist The Struggle group. All of them had socialist leaning,” Saqi told The News.
However, he regretted that while Bhutto and Maulana Bhashani openly espoused socialism, the communist cadre was taught to refrain themselves to the slogan of national democratic revolution.
