The Vakil (Urdu: وکیل) was an Urdu language newspaper published from Amritsar during the British Raj.[1] Initially it was bi-weekly newspaper but later it became three days. This newspaper was started by Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi's father Khan Ata Muhammad Khan in 1895 and published until about July 28, 1931.[2]
The first editor of the newspaper was Mirza Hairat Dehlavi but separated after editing two pamphlets. In October of the same year, Insha Allah Khan became the editor.[3] Abul Kalam Azad was associated with Vakil as one of the editor for five years, from 1903 to 1908.[4][5][6]
