Inna lillah.

One of the most favourite Generals of Mr. Zia, he was definitely the brain behind Taliban and remained a pro-taliban forever. Despite the fact he was made ISI chief in Benazir’s regime, he had a special beef against her. And she used to consider him an enemy as well.
But yes he was a true patriotic and one thing which i liked about him the most was that he was never a hypocrite or a ass-kisser. wutever he had in mind he used to say it with no fear.
Afterall how many Generals we know who resigned from an active duty just because of disagreement on policies with Army chief!

He resigned from the army after being passed over for promotion by then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan (who was wary of Gul’s politico-religious tendencies). Asif Nawaz who was no. 2 in seniority was appointed as COAS
