Many things to said role of Safiullaha and Mujibs cheif of Air..as they are both part of this Awami league administration, they can only speak of their role, I can only make assumptions..their is apparently two list of what was called Mukti Bahani , each list lists different people as Mukti Juddho time sector commanders as just some where not even Military personnel people that were non military that took on arms and became fighters..
Now I am pretty sure..above listed were among with other military personnel as any other figuring out at minimum what is going on. The thing is only thing many knew over the Radio it was AMI DALIM Bolchi. I guess neither Safiullaha nor air Cheif Khondokar took responsibility of the event that was going on. Their has to be difference of opinion among the Mukti Joddha to have two different lists..remind you Col..Tahir was also a Mukti Joddha like Jalil two who suffered during Zia rule too
The above two mentioned seemed have served Bangladesh Govt in Ambassadorial capacity and etc even in Zia administration...The thing is Dalim and all, I can swear at a minimum had Zia with them to dare what happened and I think If not Dalims, Zias soon as ascending to power..invoked ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of Bangladesh and then Press was freed..everything went in the same direction...so did the foreign Aid flew in and etc.I have to say has either Safiullaha or mujibs air chief had to feel they were less in strength..not to try anything different..
Guess what Khodokar mustaque ask his survivors regretted their role in the Coup and before death asked for forgiveness. I have always suspected the role of Zia in the Coup against Mujib based on a comment of OLI AHMED to my father and I have mentioned it many after the coup what OLI TOLD my father, who proudly took credit that he was in the same sector with..Zia and fought along and was Bir Bikram, I will mention that in subsequent emails
The thing is Neither Safiullha nor Air Chief Khodokar was with another freedom fighter Khaled Mushraff..more Pn some these as I go..

If you do not mind Gani Bhai, I want to add a little more here.
Shafiullah did not failed but went with popular militry sentiment prevailing at that time with all his concious, even when Sheikh informed him that the army people may have already killed Sk Kamal in the encounter (What a coward Muktijuddha he is?). A legal (per constititution) President has called upon for help wheather he was at all popular or not, he should have acted positively per his oath. Not only that he suggested that Sheikh should try to flee from the back door to save his life.
Tight after the incident, in a few hour, he rushed to the Radio station without even being asked or requested by the then junta and took the oath of submission with consious mind again, with the popular public sentiment.

"Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman frantically telephoned Major General KM Shafiullah, chief of staff of the Bangladesh army, when a group of soldiers, heavily armed and backed by tanks and armoured cars, attacked his residence in the pre-dawn hours on August 15, 1975. The Father of the Nation sought Shafiullah's assistance in warding off the rebels. In the event, Shafiullah failed to come to his aid".
