Ayub Khan Reasons of Martial law

Ayub Khan Reasons of Martial law

Reasons of Martial law imposition in 1958

  Martial law was imposed in 1958 because the political governments in Pakistan had become very weak. Feroz Khan had remained unsuccessful to reform the politicians for the development o Pakistan. Gap between East and West Pakistan had increased. Political parties were more divided than ever. Iskender Mirza was greatly unsatisfied by this situation and he had the power to dismiss the Prime Minister which he had already done two times in less than two years. So he dismissed the government all national and provincial assemblies and imposed martial law in the country.

  During this era before 1958 there was very severe food shortage in the country and intense floods in East Pakistan. Public and politicians blamed the government for this worst situation, political rights of public were still not safe. Iskender Mirza had the right to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister of the state so he kept changing the Prime Ministers and did so for three times in just three years. Whole country was facing great food shortages and floods especially in East Pakistan, so when no appropriate steps were taken to deal with the situation every political party turned against him and he had to resign leaving the government in hands of Army General Ayub Khan for next ten years.

    Martial of Ayub Khan may be the best decision taken, Pakistan could have left India way behind if a further 5 years martial law of Ayub Khan continued, the 10 years were one of the best in PK's history. A.R
