Fatima Jinnah’s 1965 presidential election campaign against Field Marshal Ayub Khan remains one of the most controversial episodes in Pakistan’s political history. Despite facing immense state pressure, Fatima Jinnah mounted a powerful challenge to the military ruler.

What did military officers allegedly say about stopping the “old woman” from winning? How much pressure and repression were used during the election campaign? And what do historical accounts reveal about the tactics employed by Ayub Khan’s regime?

In this video, we examine Fatima Jinnah’s historic electoral campaign, the political environment under Ayub Khan, allegations of state coercion, and the wider struggle between civilian democratic politics and military rule in 1960s Pakistan.
