I have cited a reliable book on the subject matter, refer to it please. If you need other citations, I can add them also. I can also pinpoint many wiki articles which don't cite any references. But it's other debate, i will cite additional references in two or three days. Wikibaba1977 (talk) 17:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I have added another reference which states that " Raja Muhammad Akbar Khan, was a Naib-tahsilar, but was compelled to resign on account of the precarious state of his father's health. He is now a Member of the Jhelum Municipality and since his father’s death in 1908 has succeeded to the family pension and seat in Provincial Darbari, and to the hereditary title of Raja". Please look into it. I think it should be enough. If you want other references please ask. Wikibaba1977 (talk) 17:51, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

The first reference from book The Garrison State: Military, Government and Society in Colonial Punjab By Tan Tai Yong states that "The 1920 provincial elections thus returned, as the provincial government had hoped, a Legislative Council dorminated by the ”Old World The first expanded council inaugurated in 1921 comprised mainly ”landlords, peasant—proprietors, ex—army officers, and a sprin—kling of traders and lawyers”. The Punjab government reported that ”a large number of members of the council were landed propri-etors typically representative of the province  and the council as a whole represented a moderate current of political opinion”.

This first expanded Legislative Council in the Punjab contained thirty-eight members who belonged to the landed / military families of the Punjab, or were rural notables, ex-soldiers and minor officials who had functioned as the state's military intermediaries during the war. Notable members of this group of rural-military elites included: Syed Mehdi Shah of Gojra, a leading Muslim from Lyallpur who was actively involved in recruiting during the war, elected from his rural Muslim seat in Lyallpur; Raja Mahommed Akbar of jhelum, chief of the heavily recruited Chib Rajputs of jhelum, elected from the west Punjabb towns.Wikibaba1977 (talk) 15:26, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep User:Wikibaba1977, your sources are all off-line. That's not forbidden, but makes verifying somewaht difficult. I have found some on-line sources which confirm that this person was indeed a member of the Punjab Legislative Council, and thus passes WP:NPOL, see here (#81). Wikisource has his entry in The Indian Biographical Dictionary (1915), see here. Kraxler (talk) 23:20, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
