| Relations | Omar Asghar Khan (son) |
| Laterwork | MD of Pakistan International Airlines Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Istaqlaal |
He is considered an honest politician who did not achieve all his political goals due to the principled stands that he took. His long career in the Air Force, running PIA and in politics spanned many of the key moments in Pakistan's history. He is also the author of half a dozen books. During his long political career which included imprisonment, he was adopted as a Prisoner of Conscience by Amnesty International and was awarded the Gold Medal by the Pakistan Society of Human Rights. He has also been awarded the Jinnah Award by the Jinnah Society for outstanding services to the cause of democracy and for upholding the values and principles of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Much of his family moved from Kashmir and India to Abbottabad in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province during partition.
His early career in the IAF is not known but he was one of the first Indian Officers to be given command of a Squadron. He took over command of No. 9 Squadron in 1945. Asghar's attachment with the Squadron was so much that at the time of Partition, when the assets of the Royal Indian Air Force were divided between India and Pakistan, he insisted that No.9 Squadron be given to Pakistan.
After his command of No. 9 Squadron, Asghar undertook a staff course in the UK in 1946 and became one of the first to fly a jet fighter – a Gloster Meteor fighter bomber.
Prominent among the major units he established during his tenure were the Fighter Leaders School, the PAF Staff College and the College of Aeronautical Engineering. He also instituted the Inspectorate and initiated the tradition of regular air staff presentations. Two of his brothers, Squadran Leader Khalid Khan and Pilot Officer Asif Khan were killed during servic with the Pakistan Air Force.
After independence Khan became Pakistan's first Air Chief and also its youngest at the age of 36. He held the position of Air Chief for over 8 years (1957–65) during which the PAF underwent all its expansion, re-equipping, and training programs. Khan, who retired on 23 July 1965 i.e. six weeks before the 1965 Indo-Pak War, was not even informed nor consulted before the launch of the Operation Gibraltar.
Asghar Khan squarely blamed Pakistan for the 1965 and 1971 wars and strongly opposed the war with India over the Bangladesh issue in 1971 but is still known as one of the most respected leaders the country had.
After retiring from the PAF in 1965, Khan served as the President of Pakistan International Airlines and Head of Tourism and Civil Aviation from August 1965 to November 1968.
Asghar Khan relinquished awards of 'Hilal-i-Pakistan' and 'Hilal-i-Quaid-i-Azam' against repressive policies of Field Marshal Ayub Khan in January 1969.
He contested two seats, one from Karachi and the other from Abbotabad, despite alleged rigging by the ppp, Asghar Khan was elected by a huge margin from both seats defeating PPP candidate Kamaluddin Azfar from Karachi and the other seat of Abbottabad. The PNA rejected the election results as rigged and launched a Nationwide agitation against the results. Asghar Khan resigned from both National Assembly seats as a mark of protest against massive rigging in the elections.
While imprisoned, Asghar Khan wrote a much criticized letter to the chiefs of staff and the officers of the defence forces, asking them to renounce their support for the "illegal (Z A Bhutto's) regime" and asked to "differentiate between a 'lawful' and an 'unlawful' command...and save Pakistan." This letter is considered by many democrats and political writers as instrumental in encouraging the advent of the Zia regime. However, Asghar Khan strongly defended his letter as according to him no where in the letter had he asked for the military to take over and he had written it in response to a news story that he had read in which a Major had shot a civillian showing him the 'V' sign. After the overthrow of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's government by the Army in the summer of 1978, Asghar Khan was offered a cabinet post by Zia Ul Haq, Asghar Khan refused to join the cabinet and also withdrew from the PNA after a growing split between the various parties.
