Mr Roedad Khan served as a loyal civil servant for three Chief Martial Law Administrators:
Field Marshal (without fighting an war) General Ayub Khan,
Gen Yahya Khan (Fall of Dhaka in 1971) and
Gen Ziaul Haq (Heroin, Religious Extremism, Gun Culture and worse Drugs and Narcotics).
Why didn't Mr Roedad Khan have the courage to say then, what he says now?
EHTISAAB?

Reply of an Indian when he was told that "Martial Law will be imposed in India too" (by Roadad Khan)
"A year later, I was relocated and posted to Peshawar where I met Morarji Desai, finance minister of India. He was visiting Pakistan as a guest of the government. On arrival in Peshawar, Morarji expressed a desire to pay a courtesy call on Abdul Ghaffar Khan. I was asked to make necessary arrangements and escort him to Utmanzai.
On the way to Utmanzai, Morarji asked me how the freedom-loving Pukhtuns had reacted to the imposition of Martial Law.
This triggered a lively discussion. “Was it for this?, Morarji asked, “that your people fought so tenaciously? You thought you had found freedom on August 14, 1947. But hasn’t it turned out to be another kind of slavery? Were all Mr. Jinnah’s brave words and deeds to end in this? Don’t you feel cheated and betrayed? I feel sorry for you. Your future looks very grim to me?.
“Until recently, we were all Indians?, I replied. “We are as good and as bad as Indians are. We all share the same weaknesses. You are not much better than us. We have martial law today. You will have it tomorrow??
Morarji reacted sharply: “No general dare impose martial law in India?, he retorted. “And if he does, Morarji will be the first to face the Indian bullet?. On this grim note, the conversation ended. We had reached Utmanzai.
