Martial law was declared over Lahore in 1953, in response to civil unrest
following anti-Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement agitations. At that time Captain
Rahimuddin was part of the military deployment heading the army takeover of
Lahore, culminating in the arrest of Maulana Maududi. On November 23, 2005,
retired Brigadier A.R. Siddiqi, commenting on his latest book on the fall of
East Pakistan, wrote: "The morale of the Pakistani troops was extremely low
in 1970-1971, but General Rahimuddin had tried East Pakistan’s charismatic
leader Mujibur Rehman in Faisalabad and given him death in a special court.
General Yahya did not confirm this at the time the proceedings of the case
took place." Rahimuddin later became Military General and served as Governor
of Sind from 24 Jun 1988 to 10 Sep 1988.
