This political beating has been happening all the time in both BD and Pakistan. It does not prove that Ayub was worse than any other political leader. A President must be judged by his national achievements in industries, education, and the social uplifting.
It was Ayub Khan in whose time BD started irrigation of rice fields during the winter. BD is now feeding its large population of 169 million.
It was Ayub Khan's time when the first Polytechnic Institutions were built in all the District towns in the east totaling 17 institutions.
We must evaluate his achievements instead of criticizing him for a political goon to beat an activist from another party.
