'1971 war defeat was a political failure, not of military', says Pakistan Army Chief General Bajwa

Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa addressing the Defence & Martyrs Day ceremony on Wednesday, said that '1971 not a defeat of the Pakistani army, but a political defeat. He also said that armies around the world are seldom criticised but the army in Pakistan is often subjected to criticism. He added,'I think the reason for that is the army's involvement in politics.' 'That is why in February this year, the army decided not to interfere in politics.'

93, 000 fully armed soldiers, the biggest surrender since Stalingrad and that too after less than 2 weeks of fighting. Niazi just a day earlier was boasting about fighting to the death till the last man. But then they got the brutal ultimatum from India's Jewish General JFR Jacob who told them that the Mukti Bahini was waiting to skin them all alive. The surrender took place that same afternoon.

Yes, 1971 was their political failure. But wasn't their political leadership in the hands of Chief martial law administrator Gen Yahya Khan?

[harshbhanot]

Bajwa said 1971 wasn’t defeat of Pakistan Army but political debacle, How could???

In fact, during 1971 Yahya Khan (a army dictator) was President of Pakistan then.

Long Live India 🇮🇳 Army!!
