This refers to the letter, ‘Memories of the past’ (May 23) by Shakir Lakhani. One cannot emphasize enough the fact – and just to put the record straight – that in 1971, the real power was in the hands of General Yahya and his colleagues.

Even in Sindh, he had a thin majority. But he did not have veto power or any executive authority.
