A picture is better than a thousand words. He was no woman basher like you are implying the fact is despite being an EX ISI Chief and a decorated three star Gen he actively kept himself engaged in the causes he believed in and on top of that list was the Kashmir . And he performed well at various fronts and was a respected name in international military analysis circles.
You can't just blame him for all the ills of Taliban that was the natural outcome of the mess in Kabul after 89.
The only place where I feel he should have done better was while he was retiring in 89 he should have made a well laid down procedure on how to dismantle the Mujaihidin network in Pakistan but IMO opinion after success in Kabul Pakistani establishment wanted to use the same launching grounds for attacks in Kashmir but you cant blame gul for that as I said earlier that must have been a collective decision and if this danger coupled with millions of Afghanis was not even assessed at that time then for that neglect every body is responsible including top civil and military brass. They should have thought india will use the same ideology against us something she did successfully later.
But I don't see in all this how you can blame General for everything and even any atrocities committed against women across the border. I have seen him very respectful to women in real life so I guess its little time for you to do some deeper research and some soul searching as well.
why would we work with USSR (now Russia) when they were primary arms and diplomatic supporters of our enemy - india?
at that particular time in history and in that historical context it wouldnt have made an iota of sense...they were also backing communist/leftist groups in Pakistan such as Al-Zulfiqar
maybe you tell your modThank you for your service. Rest in Peace.
he saved pakistan from soviets....What did he do exactly? Training Afghan mujahidin? Didn't that policy backfire at the end for Pakistan?
Someone please explain why he is popular and what he has done for Pakistan that has made it a "better" country.
JUD has never been involved in sectarian terrorism also not HEM. as for Hameed Gul he was a true patriot and real soldier of ALLAH and his beloved RASOOL SAW fought for Pakistan till end. May ALLAH forgive him and award him with Shifat of RASOOL SAWthe reason he was close to JuD and Hafiz Saeed and people like that was to use them as leverage to END sectarian and takfiri terrorism in Pakistan
undeniable fact
It was better to post these columns in column thread and not here.
Couple of years ago, at the Islamabad Airport Departure lounge. Not under any official capacity.
Yes he was quite fit for his age.
