"On the other hand, Hasan Zahir, a Pakistani civil servant at that time,writes about Operation Searchlight in his book The Separation of East Pakistan : "Major General Farman Ali was the executor of Dhaka part of 'Searchlight'. He succeeded in 'shock action' by concentrated and indiscriminate firing on the target areas".
