Previous rebellion In 1948,
Prince Agha Abdul Karim and Prince Muhammad Rahim of
Kalat launched a rebellion in response to
accession of Kalat and with the aim of establishing
Kalat as an independent state from
Pakistan. With the arrest of the princes and loss of a lot of manpower, the rebellion ultimately came to an end in 1950 with
Pakistan recapturing all territories.
Attack on Kalat Palace In 1958,
Ahmad Yar Khan tried to ambush the Deputy Commissioner. He invited him to his place and when he came the palace guards led by the Khan's son Prince Mohiuddin, attacked him. Three persons were wounded. In retaliation the following day, a tank of the
Pakistan Army fired multiple rounds on the palace of Khan and the
Khan was forced to surrender and was taken away to Lahore. While the
Khan was being taken away, a crowd gathered outside the palace and upon a clash with the troops three were killed and at least two others were wounded. The
National Awami Party successfully sponsored a bill in the National Assembly calling for its dissolution and providing for regional autonomy. This led to the military takeover of the national government. The One Unit programme remained in effect until 1970. Finally,
President General
Yahya Khan imposed
Legal Framework Order No. 1970 to end the One Unit program and reinstate the provisional status of the Four Provinces as of
August 1947. ==Rebellion by Nauroz Khan==
