GENERAL AYUB KHAN
(The portion of his first speech, when he came in to power)
“This is a drastic and extreme
step when with great reluctance, but with fullest conviction that there was no
alternative to is except the disintegration and complete ruination of the
country. History would never have forgiven us if the present chaotic conditions
were allowed to go on any further. Let me announce in no uncertain terms that
our ultimate aim is to restore democracy. But of the type that people can
understand and work. When the time comes, your opinion will be freely asked.
But when that will be, events alone can tell”
He concluded by saying a
word for the “disruptionists, Political opportunists, smugglers, black
marketers and others….
“The soldiers and the
peoples are sick of the sight of you, so it will be good for your health to
turn a new leaf and begin to behave. Otherwise, retribution will be swift and
sure”
