(21 Mar 1969) RR6912/A: PAKISTAN: AYUB'S RULE DISINTEGRATES
After four months of unprecedented rioting and civil disturbances throughout Pakistan, the rule of President Ayub Khan has disintegrated. For more than ten years he gave Pakistan stability and strong rule, sweeping away political parties and universal suffrage and instituting his own brand of indirect democracy, which his critics said was little short of dictatorship. He involved Pakistan in a war with India, and yet failed to get a settlement to the Kashmir dispute. In the last few years, the frustrations of many sections of Pakistani society have grown into an active opposition movement. Now, he's given way to some of their demands, and he's announced his retirement from political life next year. We trace his career and look at
some of the people who might replace him.
