Debacle
Published by webmaster
(A review from a book written by an insider close to power in 1971)
KARACHI, March 25: The East Pakistan tragedy was not just a failure of
the military establishment of the day but also the abysmal collapse of
civil society in West Pakistan. Launched at midnight, 25 March 1971,
the military action went on for nine long months without eliciting any
concerted protest from the West Pakistani public and political
leader****p.
The few low voices raised against the military action were too feeble
to make the army change the suicidal course it had set itself, leading
to an ignominious military defeat and the breakup of the country.
Brigadier Abdul Rehman Siddiqi, who headed the Inter Services Public
Relations (ISPR) and was Press Advisor to Army Chief General Yahya
Khan, was clearly in the thick of things. Therefore, his book 'East
Pakistan: The Endgame -- An Onlooker's Journal 1969-1971′ will be
of
interest to those wi****ng to penetrate the historical veil that has
subsequently been draped over the more unsavory events of that era.
The author had the unique advantage of observing the tragedy as it
unfolded. As the ISPR chief, he interacted with the national press and
a cross-section of public and political leader****p in both wings. In
his description and appraisal of the various dramatis personae, he
acts as an impartial observer.
Apart from the fresh light the book sheds on the traumatic episode,
the simplicity and candor of the narrative adds much to its
readability. Thus, the book may well contribute towards the much-
needed bridge building between Pakistan and Bangladesh.
"In 1971, Pakistan was torn into two, its eastern half declaring
itself the independent nation of Bangladesh. While the broader details
of this debacle have since become comprehensible, historians are still
trying to glean a few remaining facts from the myths and half-truths
that continue to linger some 33 years later.
From the start, the author makes it clear that the book is based on
his diaries and other sources that he had personal access to as the
ISPR chief. He also admits to have "scrupulously avoided" relying on
any subsequent books or other published material that relates to the
events. As a result, the reader is presented with a first-hand account
of those fateful days.
The narrative begins in February 1969 when President Ayub Khan,
besieged by street agitation, sought to negotiate his way out by
calling for a Round Table Conference (RTC). However, as Siddiqi
explains, Yahya had already started plotting against his boss. Unknown
to most people at the time, the army chief secretly met the East
Pakistani leader Mujibur Rehman and asked him not to relent on his
demands. In fact, as Siddiqi points out, Yahya went as far as to tell
Mujib that "he could go ahead with his anti-Ayub campaign without any
let or hindrance from the army."
Siddiqi also reveals that a week before the RTC, he was ordered by
General Ghulam Umar to secretly prepare an advance draft for Yahya's
address to the nation as the Chief Martial Law Administrator. Two days
later, Yahya flatly refused Ayub's direct request for the army to come
to the aid of the civil government.
According to Siddiqi, Yahya made it abundantly clear to his superior
that it was either complete martial law under his own control or
nothing. And Ayub knew then that his days were numbered. Following his
refusal to help Ayub quell the violent civic unrest, Siddiqi discloses
how Yahya cunningly enlisted the sup****t of his old drinking buddy
interior minister Admiral AR Khan, who persisted in presenting highly
pessimistic daily briefs to further undermine the president.
When Siddiqi confronted General Pirzada with these peculiar goings-on,
he was politely told to hush up. The dice had been cast and within a
month Ayub departed from the scene after handing over power to Yahya.
Following the takeover, Siddiqi claims that Yahya was quick to reveal
his true intentions and confided to some of his senior officers:
"Gentlemen, we must be prepared to rule this unfortunate country for
the next 14 years or so."
Soon, Yahya announced general elections after being convinced by the
intelligence agencies that they would result in a split vote and a
fractious National Assembly, making it impossible for the new
government to fulfil the stipulation of an approved constitution
within 120 days. This failure, the thinking went, would then lead to
fresh elections while power would indefinitely remain in the army's
firm grip.
However, the election results could not have been farther from Yahya's
calculations. Badly let down by the intelligence agencies, Yahya
decided to pursue a new course of action. His famous reference to
Mujib as the future prime minister was in reality no more than "a
calculated maneuver aimed at, first to set the military against Mujib,
and second, to provoke the Pakistan Peoples Party."
The worried generals then recruited Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to ensure that
any chance of a compromise with Mujib would be non-existent. In fact,
as Siddiqi informs us, General Umar even met many West Pakistani
minority party leaders to actively dissuade them from attending the
first National Assembly session at Dhaka. Not surprisingly, East
Pakistan soon went on the boil in the face of such intransigence. And
the army-controlled West Pakistani media retaliated by accusing East
Pakistanis of treason.
We all know what followed. The army's subjugation of East Pakistan
resulted in untold misery for millions of innocent Pakistanis, the
death of many thousands as well as the breakup of Jinnah's original
Pakistan. And as Siddiqi's narrative makes apparent, all this happened
so that the generals could maintain their hold on power. Since then,
it has suited successive army generals to place the blame on Bhutto.
But the pertinent question is: how many tanks, guns and soldiers did
Bhutto have at his disposal? The answer, of course, is none.
Another fact the author emphasizes is the sheer profusion of war
crimes inflicted on hapless Pakistani citizens by its own army. The
reader comes across a devastated Major General Ansari telling Siddiqi
that rape and brutality were widespread. The general also confesses to
a complete breakdown in the "discipline of his junior officers [and
that] there was little he could do to check their "atrocities." If
junior officers had run amok, one shudders to think what the less-
educated jawans got up to.
Siddiqi also exposes the infamous General Niazi who shamelessly
defended the rapists by declaring that: "You cannot expect a man to
live, fight and die in East Pakistan and go to Jhelum for ***, would
you?" Even 30-plus years later, the fact that most, if not all, of
these perpetrators got away scot-free, can provoke tears of rage and
shame.
Ultimately, 'The End Game' is a brave and honest book and Siddiqi
should be commended for writing it, even if it took him all these
years to muster the resolve. A must-read for anyone interested in
Pakistan's past." - Courtesy Herald.
