In contra­st to Ayub Khan, West Pakist­ani offici­als were not apprec­iating the scale of the crisis­President Ayub Khan was right. As I was staying with my school friend Tahir Ayub Khan, son of Ayub Khan, I took the opportunity to call on his father and update him on the unfolding crisis. In contrast to Ayub Khan, West Pakistani officials were not appreciating the scale of the crisis. Although Bengalis had been at the forefront of the Pakistan movement, the military action had been the last straw. Just as West Pakistanis were killing Bengalis, Bengalis were also rounding up and killing non-Bengalis.
