WRONG!.
1. The GDP was bolstered NOT by a booming economy but an influx of US aid. Otherwise the economy was in shambles.
2. LMFAO! Movies, songs.. total crackdown was taken on the industry, the so called arts and culture did not come out DUE to Zia; it came out because people refused to be repressed in his tyrannical usage of so called Islamic laws.
3. That is like a drug addict justifying usage of heroin to get high on account of trying to overcome depression.
4. In Bhutto's era, earlier.. load shedding wasnt there either.. what a stupid point to try and defend uncle Zia. There was no load shedding because the economy was still mostly agricultural and the industry along with the luxuries of life had not yet taken hold.
5. Point number 3 is the reason why the whole crime and lawlessness came into the country. Those Afghans were allowed to stay and breed while they were recruited for the "Jihad". Without considering what other activities these people brought with them.
So no, Zia-ul-Haq aka Zai-ul-Haq (in his own signature) .. was possibly the worst dictator to hit Pakistan( in the long line of blotched military rule)
