[Yahya Khan ] had given me an appointment for the following day. And, days later, General Mohd Umar revealed to me that he'd resorted to this stratagem so that I'd stay in Dacca and see the efficiency of the army. I give you my word of honor that all this is true.

Mrs. [Indira] Gandhi can rightly boast of having won a war, but if she won it, she should first of all thank Yahya Khan and his gang of illiterate psychopaths.

If the people wanted my head I would bow without demur. If I had lost the confidence or respect of the people I would not want to live. The tragedy of the drama is that the very opposite is true.

Mujib [Rahman] talks at random, depending on his mood and the disorders of his sick mind.

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