I agree with Javed Iqbal. On Oct 7, 1958 President Iskandar Mirza imposed Martial Law with the help of army, abrogated Constitution of 1956 and appointed General Ayub Khan as Chief Martial Law Administrator. However, Ayub Khan arrested Iskandar Mirza after one week, exiled him to Britain and assumed all the powers. Although imposition of that Martial Law is referred to Iskandar Mirza, practically it was successful due to the help of army and the then army chief was Ayub Khan, that’s why First Martial in Pakistan is attributed to Ayub Khan.
