Tikka Khan was a soldier doing a soldier's job.

I've known him since 1954 and I've never taken Mujib Rahiman seriously - I understood from the very first moment that there was no depth to him, no preparation, that he was an agitator breathing a lot of fire and with an absolute lack of ideas.

That Mujib [Rahiman] had been arrested I found out at eight in the morning, when I left. How did I take it? I was glad he was alive and I thought they might have maltreated him a little. Then I thought that his arrest might help to reach a compromise. They wouldn't keep him in prison more than a month or two, and in the meantime we'd be able to bring back law and order.

A regime which puts in a bunker the highest law in the land does not have the moral authority to say that nobody is above the law.

Yahya Khan wasn't interested in the government of the country, he was interested in power for its own sake and nothing else.

There's only one man really responsible for those events - Yahya Khan. Both he and his advisers were so drunk with power and corruption they'd even forgotten the honor of the army.

Lets build a monument for the veto. Lets build a monument for impotence and incapacity.
