Adil Najam

Can you recognize this man? No, not Nixon, the other guy. The one to the left.

I imagine that most of you can. But still, do tell me. In case you cannot, here is another picture of him.

I wanted to get us going with an easy picture on what I hope will be a somewhat regular feature of guessing who or what is in the picture. Feel free to share your thoughts on the person if you wish.

[P.S. I know, this is a sly way of checking if anyone is even reading this thing, and finding it useful enough to merit a response. But keeping this blog going is taking a lot of time, and I would like some indication from the readers that its worth the effort; that there are at least a few who are not just visiting but willing to actively engage in the discussions. Thanks.]

    He is General Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan. Field Marshal Ayub Khan handed over power to him instead of the speaker of the National Assembly which was a blatant violation of his own constitution.

    He was a drunkard. Hamood-ur-Rehman commission report talks a lot about the activities of president’s house in those days. Remember General Rani. She was his mistress. It was said that she could get him do almost anything. Remember Noor Jahan and her daughters.

    He oversaw the dismemberment of Pakistan. He wanted to continue as the president, just as President Musharraf wanted to continue as the president, under all condition.

    He hobnobbed with Bhutto and refused to call the session of the National Assemly which created doubts in the minds of the people of east pakistan.

    General Yahya Khan, though conducted free election in Pakistan but in the case of transfer of control to the elected PM, he hesitated and Pakistna lost its half.

    There was a post on thie site some time back with pictures of Liaquat ALi Khan. I just went there looking and saw that you had messages there too ;-) So, not sure what the point is. Nawaz Sharif also visited the White House a few times.
