"Brigadier sold war plan to Pakistan"
Ayub Khan bought it for a paltry Rs. 20,000
B. Muralidhar Reddy
ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan President Ayub Khan "bought" an Indian secret plan to attack Pakistan in 1965 from an Indian Army Brigadier for Rs. 20, 000, his son Gohar Ayub Khan has claimed.
Mr. Gohar (68), currently penning his memoirs scheduled to be published in December, told The News daily in an interview that the Brigadier needed the money for his wife to pursue her hobby.
He said Pakistani agents active in New Delhi bought the plan from the Brigadier.
The book would give enough indications on the identity of the Indian military officer, who is said to be still alive.
Mr. Gohar said it would be a "bomb shell" for the Indian Army as the same officer later served at a very top position before retiring "honourably." He claimed to have met the Brigadier in London in 1967.
Ayub Khan prepared the Pakistan army to fight a war with India to get Kashmir "liberated" and followed a long-term policy, he said.
Giving details of the plan's purchase, Mr. Gohar said the payment for the document was made in London. When General Headquarters in Pakistan received the secret plan, everyone , including Ayub Khan, was surprised by the comprehensive details.
After Pakistani generals doubted its credibility, the plan was rechecked from other intelligence sources in New Delhi and turned out to be genuine.
Mr. Gohar said as a safeguard against leakage, Ayub Khan issued instructions to his own military command not to prepare such elaborate plans in future. He told the paper that Mr. Ayub Khan deployed Pakistani forces on those fronts where Indians planned to attack and some in other areas.
The Lahore military commander, however, failed to implement the plan as he moved his forces late, much to the disappointment and annoyance of the top military brass, he said. He said the Pakistan army defended its positions initially when Indians launched attacks. After stabilising those fronts, the Pakistan army launched its attack at Chamb Jorian that was left unguarded by Indians as indicated in their secret war plan. The Pakistan army advanced secretly in the sector.
Mr. Gohar said the Pakistani forces were supposed to cross the River Bias bridge and besiege the Indian Army in east Punjab. When Pakistani forces launched the attack, Indian fighter jets monitored their movements. The Pakistani strike force had been hiding in the area since January 1965, without being noticed by the Indian army.
A panic-stricken Indian Army Chief, General Chaudhury, wanted to withdraw forces from the Bias. However, "bad luck" struck the Pakistani troops when they were crossing the Bias bridge as one of their tanks hit the bank of the bridge that collapsed and blocked the advance into Indian areas.
According to Mr. Gohar, this development put Ayub Khan and other military commanders in a fix as every body was solely depending on this attack but all of a sudden the operation had come to a halt.
A Major General was sent from GHQ, Rawalpindi, by a helicopter to ensure the immediate repair of the bridge. But the bridge could not be repaired for three days and it enabled Indians to breach their canals to flood the entire area to stop the Pakistan army advance. |
