Zia ul Haq was a Muslim, but a Munafiq

Herald Exclusive: In conversation with Raza Kazim - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Interesting Interview to look into our history.

RK: I was in complete sympathy with the conspirators. It started when some people in August 1982 came to me saying they were army officers who were planning a coup against Zia. I took them at face value. I had written about Ziaul Haq a few months ago. I wrote, he prays, fasts and has done the Haj so he can’t be a Kafir and, of course, he is not a Muslim so he can only be a Munafiq — that’s the only logical conclusion. That is what prompted those officers to approach me, I think.
I told them I could not work with them nor could I have any organisational linkage. * I sympathised with them and wished them success. They asked me for money. I gave them 20,000 rupees initially and then gave some more. From August to December 1982, I gave them 100,000 rupees.
By December 1982, I started having second thoughts. They asked me to attend some meetings and lecture on history, philosophy and economics. I realised that they were not from my tribe. So, I stopped giving them money. A few days later, they contacted me and said that they have decided to formally disconnect me from their plans.
Subsequently, at the trial in Attock, I found out that my money was spent on buying some property and a Volkswagen car. The rest of it was spent on whiskey. Mustafa Khar was backing them. They wrote to Khar saying that Raza Kazim was trying to convert them into commies. Khar wrote back, “Raza is a good man; he just has one flaw that he has read too much. Despite that, we will give him a high post when we come into power.” I found that sweet and endearing.
