This was the beginning of Pakistan becoming a military state ... A state where the people and the country exists to serve the army ... Not a country where the Army exists to protect the country. And after over 70 years we have can see for ourselves how far down the drain the army and the generals have brought us.

Mismanagement was done by Millitary leader ship at that time coz the Cheif of Army staff was a Australian National and he didn't want to take over Kashmir and annoy India.thats why he refused to take action against Indian invasion of Kashmir and then the people of Pakistan declare jihad and went to Kashmir to do jihad and help the Muslims of Kashmir according to Islamic Norms and they did well and then after that the army stepped into conflict and helped the people in providing arms transport and other stratigic help.But they people said that we were not allowed to take over Srinagar as we reached the top of the mountains and they were on the high ground they also said that we could see the city of Srinagar without binoculures and they also went to cook and eat halwa in the city bakery.

Liaquat Ali Khan was killed by the CIA because he refused to become part of the American camp. He told the Dulles brothers we are part of the Muslim bloc and that recognizing Israel was basically replied to by him by saying “gentlemen our souls are not for sale” … this was the start of the end of the Liaquat ministry.

[@manzerm7805]

Communist were conspiring to overthrow him and you are saying CIA killed him?

[@muhammadaliclay8976]

faiz was directly involved in the failed coup attempt.. and she didnt take his name..

[@zayjay2765]

but was he given fair trial ..??

[@harisisrarkhan4320]

Well she is Faiz daughter. Why will she say her name. Plus I think it is a bad choice by the channel to speak on the coup when her own father was involved.

[@lobzangdolma989]

Needless to say that Pakistan has always been stabbed lethally from the inside.

The voice is not clear, back ground music is very high and noisy

[@harisisrarkhan4320]

Poor video on Rawalpindi conspiracy. Her father was involved in it. So How can she be unbiased. I don't think Military Mismanagement was the cause cuz when 1948 war was fought the army was poorly equipped being denied most equipment during the Partition. Plus the army chief was English so were most of the top officers. And they didn't wanted to fight the war, Even refusing Quaid Azam request. So you can't blame this as the cause. THE REAL CAUSE WHICH SHE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT WAS. Pakistan joining the American camp which happened in Liaqat Ali khan reign. The Socialist had good support in East & West Pakistan. They decided to topple the government. And this included army officers sympathetic to Socialist, Faiz and Sajid Zaheer ( founder of Communist party of Pakistan)

[@kamilshehzad5116]

she is mis quoting many things and stating incorrectly , which has nothing to do with the true history

[@slicktip]

And who is she speaks a lot about who she has to blame.

Zia's coup is wrong. But Faiz's coup is fine.

Background music is very loud Please is ko kam ker rakhain.

[@affanrehman7179]

So, the root cause of coup was animosity against Govt. for his inefficiency in supplying spares during war ?
