Intro
Operation Fair Play was the code name for the 5 July 1977 coup by Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, overthrowing the government of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.[1] The coup itself was bloodless, and was preceded by social unrest and political conflict between the ruling leftist Pakistan Peoples Party government of Bhutto, and the right-wing Islamist opposition Pakistan National Alliance which accused Bhutto of rigging the 1977 general elections. In announcing the coup, Zia promised “free and fair elections” within 90 days, but these were repeatedly postponed on the excuse of accountability and it was not until 1985 that (“party-less”) general elections were held. Zia himself stayed in power for eleven years until his death in a plane crash. It is rumored that ALL Ahmadi Generals were involved in this coup. There names are Rahimuddin Khan, Sarwar khan, K M Arif, Akhter Reman Khan, General Mohammad Iqbal Khan, Ghulam Jilani Khan, Abdul Saeed and few more army officers. Lt Gen Chishti, Maj. Gen. Riaz Mahmood, Gen. Khalid Mahmood Arif are some others. Gen Zia installed provincial Martial Law administrators too: Lt Gen Jehanzeb Arbab in Sindh, Gen Iqbal Khan in Punjab, Gen Abdullah Saeed in Balochistan, and Gen Sawar Khan in the erstwhile North West Frontier Province (NWFP).

We continue to catalog all of the Ahmadi’s who had infiltrated the military and bureaucracy in Pakistan from 1947 to at least 1999. His father was Captain Nizam ud Din, who received his commission as an officer in 1939. His father was part of an elite group of Ahmadi’s who were trusted to work in the artillery department of the Army, no other indians were allowed to work there, or barely any. They were in-charge and were called the “fathers of Pakistani artillery” by Brigadier General Ijaz Ahmad Khan, (See at the 12:34 mark). They were Major Malik Habib-ullah (who died at the age of a 100) (from Dhulmial), Captain Nizam ud Din (he was the father of Brigadier General Mohammad Iqbal Khan) and Captain Umar Hayat (father of Commander Yousaf). We have written about General Abdul Ali Malik and General Akhtar Hussain Malik (these 2 are brothers), Zafar Ahmad Chaudhry, Major General Iftikhar Janjua, Brigadier General Ijaz Ahmad Khan, the Lahori-Ahmadi Major General Abdul Saeed Khan, and we are still adding to the list. He was a retired four-star rank army general in the Pakistan Army who served as the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee from being appointed in 1980 until 1984.

Intro
He was a Lahori-Ahmadi. His father (Dr. Saeed Ahmad Khan) was the President of the Lahori-Ahmadi jamaat (from 1981–1996, he died aged 96, he was born in 1900), his father, Maulana Muhammad Yahya, and uncle, Maulana Muhammad Yaqub, had already joined the Ahmadiyya Movement, they were all from the NWKP city of Abbotabad. Ahmadi’s claim that his father is mentioned in the writings of the Promised Messiah. At the age of six, when some people from his village were sending a postcard to Qadian to take the bai’at of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Dr. Saeed Ahmad also put his name on the card for taking the bai’at. His name is sometimes written as Major General Abdullah Saeed Khan. He died in 1988. In 2010, Rashid Jhangiri, a famous rogue-Ahmadi (with friends in the Lahori-Ahmadi jamaat) told us that General’s Tikka Khan, and Zia ul Haq were from Ahmadi families; Prime Ministers Moein Qurashi and Shaukat Aziz were from Ahmadi families; current politicians like Chaudhry Sujjat of Gujrat, Manzoor Watto of Okara, Malik Jaffar Khan from Attock, minister in Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto government etc Kasuris of Kasur belonged to Ahmadi families; prominent scientists in Pakistan like Munir Ahmad and many other belonged to Ahmadi families; intellectuals J. Salik and Iqbal had done ba’its of MGA. There also seems to be another Lahori-Ahmadi who became a General, his name is Brigadier Nasir Ahmad Saeed (he died in 2009, at roughly 60 years old in Canada, where he was living), he was the younger brother of the current Lahori-Ahmadi leader, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib.

Also called Maulana Abul Ata Jalandhari (From Jalandhar, also spelled Jallundhari), he was born on April 14th, 1904 at a village called Kariha. His father was name Munshi Imam ud Din and he seems to have accepted MGA in 1902. In 1910, at age 6, his father dedicated him to Ahmadiyya, specifically as a gift to Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad (this was before he became Khalifa). He was thus brought to Qadian in 1910. His real name was Allah Ditta, however, the Khalifa seems to have ordered it to be changed to Abul Ata. They groomed him to battle Maulvi Sanaullah in the 1930’s (see full ref in the below).
He was certified as an Ahmadi-mullah in the late 1920’s and immediately sent to Kababir, Isreal to relieve Jalal ud Din Shams by 1931. He was given the title of “Khalid” by the 2nd Khalifa (aka Khalid bin Walid). While in the Arab world, he started the Ahmadi journal “Al-Bushra” (arabic only) and when he returned to British-India he started an urdu magazine entitled, “Al-Furqan”.
He is the father of the long time Ahmadiyya imam in London, Ata’ul Mujeeb Rashid who has served as Imam since 1983 at the very small Fazl mosque. It is unclear what Jamia school he passed from, nevertheless, he was sent out from Qadian to Israel in 1931, he returned to Qadian by 1936 and then opened the Ahmadiyya mosque in Srinagar in 1940. He seems to have become the Principal at the Ahmadiyya Jamia at Qadian by the mid-1940’s. When the 2nd Khalifa was paralyzed and unable to lead prayers (1957–1965), Abul Ata Jalandhari led the Friday prayers at Rabwah. He published his debate of 1933 in 1963. He died in 1977 at Rabwah.
Fateh Muhammad Sial gave a speech (1887–1960)(also spelled Fateh Muhammad Sayyal). Maulvi Sher Ali gave a speech too. Yacub Ali Irfani also gave a speech. Zafarullah Khan also gave a speech. Ghulam Rasul Rajecki also gave speech, he talked about the Ummati Nabi. Abdur Rahman Misri gave a speech on the last day.

Maulana Mahboob Alam seems to be the first missionary who was sent to Kotli, Azad Kashmir by the Ahmadiyya jamaat, most likely in 1904, he had joined Ahmadiyya in 1897, and was thus a companion of MGA, his age in this era is unknown, his grandson gave an oral biography about 30 years ago.
Ahmadiyya sources tell us that he was able to start lots of Ahmadiyya jamaats in Mirpur (currently there don’t seem to be many Ahmadi’s here, 2019) and Poonch, ahmadiyya sources claim that he was able to get people to convert to Ahmadiyya from villages like timenkot, Charnali village, Arabari village, there was a certain Ahmadi, Haji Ameer Alam who became the President of all the Ahmadiyya jamaat’s in Azad Kashmir for a long time, he was friends with Maulana Mahboob Alam, he was made an Ahmadi and he donated a masjid (location unknown). In roughly 1910–1913, Maulana Mahboob Alam had already spent at least 5-7 years in the Kotli area getting converts, it is thought that he was sent to Kotli around 1904 by MGA. Nevertheless, by 1910, he was asking to abruptly move to Gujrat and wrote a letter to the Khalifa (Noorudin) wherein he asked for permission, the Khalifa refused, in the meantime, he found a Muslim by the name of Chaudhry Allah Ditta, who seems to have begged Maulana Mahboob Alam to stay and to teach his children the Quran, per Ahmadiyya sources at least. Nevertheless, Chaudhry Allah Ditta had allowed this Maulana Mahboob Alam to stay in a house of his, however, he had sold the land and the Ahmadi imam that he would have to leave soon. Maulana Mahboob Alam flatly refused. Chaudhry Allah Ditta totally went missing after that, this appears to be a murder by the Ahmadi imam. Early on during the Khilafat of Mirza Basheer-ud-din Mahmud Ahmad (started in March of 1914), he asked to leave Azad Kashmir, but even this time the Khalifa refused. After this refusal, he never asked again and thus remained in the Kotli district for the rest of his life. In 1933, he was allowed to visit Qadian during the Jalsa (most likely December) and on his way back, he stopped at his home village in Gujrat. Remember, Maulana Mahboob Alam claimed to receive divine revelations, just like MGA’s “ummati-nabuwwat”, however, it was on a much smaller scale, there is a famous story of how he was revealed Quranic verses. Nevertheless, the story of his death contains one such Quranic verse. He died on January 4th, 1934, in Gujrat and was buried there. In the same interview, the grandson of Maulana Mahboob Alam tells us that the house/mosque structure which is in the background was actually the place wherein the Maulana had to sleep in 1904 when he was sent to District Kotli. Ahmadi’s have turned it into a shrine, Mirza Tahir Ahmad even visited in roughly 1957, before his Khilafat. Maulana Mahboob Alam grandson tells us that this place is called “Yad-Gar” Masjid in Kotli. It seems to be the only Ahmadiyya mosque in Azad Kashmir.
