Punjab divided into smaller provinces.

[Mian Babban]

So now Yahya Khan and Ayub Khan are Punjabis !!!

Thori chars peea ker Afghani

Yes they were Punjabis and they represented Punjabi qaum.

Ayub Khan was not only fluent in Hindko dialect of Punjabi but also in mainstream Punjabi. He was as much "Pathani" as Sahir Lodhi is.

Well, Ayub Khan was a Tareen, and Tareen is a Pashtun tribe .... you are the first one to have declared them Punjabis

As for Yahya Khan, still waiting for you to cite your source that he spoke Hindko ... And again, No one else has ever declared that Peshawari Qizalbash are Punjabis in fact

 

[Mian Babban]

Well, Ayub Khan was a Tareen, and Tareen is a Pashtun tribe ....

Its like saying Syed Mustafa Kamal of Pak Sarzameen Party is an Arab.

 

[Bilawal Bhutto]

Ayub Khan and General Zia-ul-Haq were the best leaders of Pakistan.

Ayub was a Pakhtun. I can assure you that. The only 5 Star Field Marshall in the history of Pakistan.

 

[M. Sarmad]

Its like saying Syed Mustafa Kamal of Pak Sarzameen Party is an Arab.

Read his political biography (Friends not Masters), Ayub Khan was a Tareen Pashtun whose family migrated in the eighteenth century from Pishin (now in Balochistan) which was originally a part of Afghan kingdom, to Hazara. He was a descendant of Sardar Muhammad Khan Tareen, the local ruler who defeated Hari Singh Nalva (but was later captured by Maharaja Rajneet Singh and killed by Nalva) in 1822.

Ayub Khan was one of the best rulers in the history of Pakistan. And he was an ethnic Pashtun. Although the Tareens of Hazara do speak Hindko now, Ayub's son Gohar Ayub is fluent in Hindko and Pashto. I wonder why would any Pashtun deny Ayub's Pashtun ancestry.

 

[Mian Babban]

Ayub's son Gohar Ayub is fluent in Hindko and Pashto. I wonder why any Pashtun would deny Ayub's Pashtun ancestry.

Gohar Ayub has made statements that he is only a Hazarewal when it was pointed to him that he is a Pathan. His mother tongue is Hindko and he is not fluent in Pashto. He is not even sticking to his father's claim of being Pathan.

Gohar Ayub is as much of a Pathan as Saif Ali Khan of Bollywood is. There are millions of descendants of Pashtuns in India , Bangladesh, Burma, Iran and elsewhere, and none of them can be called 'Pashtun'. Just like Syed Pervez Mushraf, the ex-president of Pakistan, is not an Arab, in the same way Gohar Ayub or Omar Ayub are not Pashtuns.

Political statements you mean ? maybe .. But as you are a known liar and propagandist, nothing coming from you can be accepted until and unless you cite some reliable source.... And no one can deny that Ayub had Pashtun ancestry. Enough has been posted in this regard already .. Afghani racist bigots like you are an exception of course

You are quite a bigot. Learn to respect the opposite views

 

[M. Sarmad]

You are quite a bigot. Learn to respect the opposite views

You are just peddling plain bigotry and prejudice and you want your "views" to be respected ....

Afghani, for once stop being yourself

Come out of your ultra Pakistani nationalistic bigotry and Punjabi nationalism, and start behaving like a human being

 

[I M Sikander]

Ayub Khan and General Zia-ul-Haq were the best leaders of Pakistan.
