Setting the Record Straight: Who was part of Military Regimes? – by Sikandar Mehdi
A glum looking ZAB with his "mentor" after the signing of the Tashkent Agreement in Jan 1966
Once again I will start by demonizing the people who speak for Bhutto and his party commonly known as “spokespersons”. They are bunch of retards trying to defend the great party and its workers and are doing one of the ugliest jobs possible.
I get sick to my stomach especially by the Media & Leaguers when they say PPP or Bhutto was off shoot of Ayub khan who was a dictator. Those people for and against the PPP need a 101 lesson in history.
There is one truth and that is Bhutto was the minister in Ayub government, But then everybody moves away from the truth and that is why Bhutto resigned from the Ayub regime
Here are some historical facts
6 – 23 September, 1965 1965 War Pakistan won on the ground
10th January, 1966 Tashkent Agreement forced by super powers
31st August, 1966 BHUTTO resigns over differences with Ayub for signing lopsided agreement.
30th November, 1967 Formation of PPP. A liberal political force
12th November, 1968 BHUTTO Arrested for anti Martial Law demonstrations
26th February, 1969 Round Table Conference by Ayub Khan which failed
24th March, 1969 Ayub Resigns and General Yahya takes over
7th December, 1970 General Elections held as announced by Gen. Yahya.
7th December 1970 – 1971 Refused to hand over the power to the elected representatives of East & West Pakistan
16th December, 1971 1971 War with India. Pakistan lost half of its territory.
20th December 1971 BHUTTO was rushed back from UN to take oath as civilian leader of divided & demoralized Pakistan.
Anybody in his sane mind can tell PPP was not created by a dictator nor flourished in his lap. Ayub Khan with all his might opposed Bhutto & his party and did his best to derail Bhutto & his anti martial law movement. As a result Bhutto was arrested too.
Now here is a picture of real mentor with his political off spring. Shah Mahmood Qureshi's father on the left of Zia
Now if we compare Pakistan Muslim league of Nawaz faction.
1981 Advisor to Zia ul Haq
1982 Minister of sports Punjab (under Zia regime)
1985-88 Chief Minister Punjab(Under Zia Regime)
1988-90 Chief Minister Punjab. After Zia dissolved Junejo government Nawaz Sharif took control of Muslim league with the backing of Army by throwing out the Pakistan Muslim League President Mohammad Khan Junejo from the Muslim League House in Islamabad. In 1988 Elections which were held after the death of Zia ul Haq, Nawaz Sharif became part of ISI backed IJI and robbed PPP of its right to form a comfortable government.
1990-93 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif once again became part of another ISI alliance in 1990 when early election was called. Nawaz Sharif and his Muslim League was spoon fed by Zia ul Haq and his deputies like General Gilani & General Hameed Gul.
1993-96 Lead of the Opposition
1996-99 Prime Minister. Won “heavy mandate” of two third majority. As it has been claimed by many ISI (Khalid Khwaja who was killed by taliban last year) workers. Nawaz was given mandate for the implementation of Sharia in Pakistan.
History very clearly tells the world who is a remnant of dictator and who is not.
How exactly did we WIN the 1965 War??
We were supposed to “liberate” Kashmir by sending paratroopers in July-August to start an uprising (which failed), and India retaliated in Sept by taking the skirmish to the international border.
pakistanis ruled my ghq since bhutto wa sexecuted elections been rigged to create coalation certain persons were made politicians parties created to suppress popular votes banks looted by generals like hamid gul,durrani baig to suppress popular leaders,isi created iji pna parties like mqm,muslim league q nawaz shareef altaf hussain were promoted to rise n create political turbulenceto supresspopular leadership n now NOTHER DRAMA IN PIPELINE IMRAN KHANmqm ji are pawns fr isi to recreate iji we are poor because our budget is usurped my army n whats left of it by thugs like zardari who has no right to be ppp leader he is supportin babar awan the killer of bhutto
and the author of this article needs lesson in logic 001 …. resign tub he kia jub join kia military dictator ko!
“join karnay” pay bhi kuch roshni dalo…
@Rim Jhim,
ZAB was a member of the cabinet of Iskander Mirza. The Martial Law was promulgated by Ayub Khan at the recommendation of the then President. Ayub Khan chose to have ZAB as a minister.
Now there is a big difference, ZAB did not create a Muslim League out of the Conventional Muslim League unlike your dearest Nawaz Sharif. He created a separate platform with a totally different ideology due to wich even 44 years after establishment of the party and 32 years since his hanging, his party wins elections. Like it or not.
Another fact you must know is that anyone who left the PPP has become a zero. Tell me one hero who made a dent into the PPP????
Just dont be pricked with LUBP just because we compared your Imran Khan with the Taliban! How will you bring your Afia Siddiqui out of US? Imran will lead a dharna there in New York????
with going into who joined who it is simple PPP was formed in opposition of Ayub Khan. PPP did not flourish under the umbrella of dictator. ZAB was under arrest of Ayub Khan. Where as Nawaz Sharif was spoon fed by dictator. NS was made politician thanks to Zia. NS swore to carry on the mission of ZIA. ZIA himself called NS his political son. The man used to pay pilgrimage to Zia’s grave at Shah Faisal mosque on every 17th of August.
Mr. Rim Jhim we the PPP have heir to our party, I know everybody hates hereditary political occupancy but What about Imran Khan will daughter of Seeta White take over PTI or Seeta White herself come and join PTI. The man known as “IM the DIM” cant have his own family members part of the PTI how will anyone trust him. What is the status of Jemima Khan who is she comforting now a days. Do you know she was dating her boyfriend while she was still married to Imran Khan. The man who couldnt control his wife how will he manage the whole country. Actually he is IMRAN KHAN NIZAI. I think one Niazi was enough for Pakistan, we dont need another one. Jo mara gia Ghazi aur jo Bhag gia Niazi. Ask Imran are his cousins also part of PTI.
He is associate of ISI. The man who fielded only 78 candidates in 2002 elections is dreaming of being PM. It is the funny episode of HUM SUB UMEED SAY HAIN
Imran Khan is the only real choice that we have to save our country. If you think with an open mind for a minute you will realize that. Just think of your future generations…..
