Let us also shed light on the role of Ayub Khan during his service in the British Army.
The British Crown formed the Punjab Boundary Force with its head office in Lahore to prevent riots during the Partition of India. A Muslim colonel from Pakistan was also given an important post in the Boundary Force. The train of refugees from India to Pakistan was stopped in East Punjab and all the passengers were killed and the Pakistani colonel guarding the train remained a silent spectator.
Upon hearing this news, the people became enraged and there was a possibility that the angry mob would not set fire to the house of the colonel in Rawalpindi. Had to be moved to another military officer’s residence. The colonel’s name was Ayub Khan.
According to classified documents, Col. Ayub Khan was a mediocre officer in terms of military strategy. After the death of Col. WF Brown, Commandant of the Assam Regiment stationed in Burma during World War II, the command of the regiment was handed over to Col. Ayub Khan. After a cowardly failure in the strategy, the command was withdrawn and not only sent to India but also recommended to be fired.
And then a military officer who had decided to be expelled from the army due to his incompetence. He decided to become a commander by defeating senior army officers.
How did this happen?Major General Iftikhar Khan had already been chosen as his successor before the end of General Gracie’s tenure. After being nominated as Commander-in-Chief, General Iftikhar was sent to UK for Imperial Defense Course. Brigadier Sher Khan who was DDMO and Now he was to be promoted to the rank of Major General. He was also going to UK for a course. On December 13, 1949, General Iftikhar boarded an Orient Airways flight from Lahore to Karachi. The plane crashed near Jang Shahi on the outskirts of Karachi and all the passengers were killed.
Pakistan's military and politicalThose who have a keen eye on history believe that if this accident had not happened and General Iftikhar had not been martyred before becoming Commander-in-Chief, then the history of Pakistan would be different today because unlike Ayub Khan, General Iftikhar was a non-political general who did not compromise on principles. ۔
Get the word out.
From the day we start teaching our new generation the true history of Pakistan, Pakistan will start developing.
