ELECTIONS 1965
Background
Presidential elections were held in Pakistan on 2 January
1965. The vote was held amongst the 80,000 "basic
democrats", who were members of the urban and regional
councils.
Elections for the Presidency were to take place in
January 1965. Ayub Khan was nominated by a new
party, the Convention Muslim League, which he had
helped form.
The five opposition
parties all agreed
to support
Mohtarma Fatima
Jinnah.
It is believed that had the elections been held via the
direct method, Fatima Jinnah would have won. The
Electoral College consisted of only 80,000 Basic
Democrats, who were easily manipulated. The
importance of this election lay in the fact that a woman
was contesting the highest political office of the
country. The orthodox religious political parties,
including the Jamaat-e-Islami led by Maulana Maududi,
which had repeatedly declared that a woman could not
hold the highest office of a Muslim country.
There were riots in Karachi and East Pakistan in which 20
people were killed.

that each one of you has to
perform a supreme duty which
demands complete dedication
and devotion… Be prepared to
strike and to strike hard; for
the evil which has raised its
head against your borders is
doomed to destruction. Go
forward and meet the enemy.
God is with you..."
Indo Pak War 1965
▶ General Ayub Khan arriving to take command of the Pakistan Army (1951) The turning point in
his rule was the Indo-Pak War of 1965, Despite many repulsed Indian attacks, the war
adversely affected Pakistan's then rapidly developing economy and it ended in a settlement
reached by Ayub at Tashkent, called the Tashkent Declaration.
▶ The settlement was perceived negatively by many Pakistanis and led Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to
resign his post and take up opposition to Khan.
▶ According to Morrice James, "For them [Pakistanis] Ayub had betrayed the nation and had
inexcusably lost face before the Indians."
▶ The war also increased opposition in East Pakistan [Now Bangladesh] where the Awami
League headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman sought more autonomy for the province
▶ General Ayub Khan, who had assumed office of the commander in chief in 1951, supported
Governor General Ghulam Muhammad when he dismissed the first constituent assembly on
the grounds "The constituent assembly being power hungry and having a tendency of being
corrupt”
▶ Moulvi Tamizuddin, the first speaker of the assembly, challenged the dismissal.
▶ Sindh court accepted the appeal but the Federal Court dismissed the Sindh court judgment as
the "Doctrine of necessity". Later on the decision has been the basis of all autocratic
adjustments in Pakistan.
▶ These were the years when Pakistan allowed the US to establish a USAF communications
monitoring facility near Peshawar at Badaber and use its air space and air bases to
conduct high-altitude spy-flights over the USSR. Due to this, and the soon-to-follow U2
incident led Pakistan into an open hostility with the USSR

developments but he couldn’t maintain the national
harmony among the distant provinces of Pakistan
