Why martial law was imposed in 1958?

Martial law was imposed in Pakistan in 1958 primarily due to escalating political instability, rampant corruption, and a power struggle among political leaders. President Iskander Mirza, facing a deteriorating situation and fearing a complete breakdown of order, abrogated the constitution and declared martial law, appointing General Muhammad Ayub Khan as the Chief Martial Law Administrator. This move aimed to restore stability but ultimately led to Ayub Khan taking control and establishing a military regime.
