Just seen pictures of my Coursemate and once buddy Lt. Gen. Muzaffar Usmani slumped dead in the driver's seat of his 15/20 - year old car after suffering a massive heart attack. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un! "Verily we belong to Allah, and verily to Him do we return". 2/
2/ THIS was an honest General! He did not sell Pizzas or buy 65 Acres of land ALL for Rs. 108,000.00. Nor did he have 70 Million Dollars, nor 130 PapaJohn's pizza restaurants! I say 'once' buddy because we drifted apart when he turned VERY hard right and fundamentalist. When 3/
3/ we were colleagues at the Infantry School we were good family driends. May the Almighty rest him and grant strength to his loved ones. And may He guide the present crop of Generals to do the right thing by the country and themselves...
4/ We must all depart this earth one day. Usmani's sudden death shows he was held in affection by the Lord. He did not suffer. God bless his soul....

Two beautiful experiences happened/are happening to me today: 1) I went to Lowe's the hardware folk to buy a sack of birdfeed for my teeming feeder. My debit card was not accepted because a return payment had not been credited. The lady my age who was tending the cash out said 2/
2/ 'Wait. We can't let the birds go hungry and paid the $32.60 herself. I was AWE struck and thanked her. No, honey, go feed the birds! P.S. @M_Suharwardy she was a 'Tori'. 2) I am now watching the eclipse. The moon is 7/8th it's size, it is getting dark, the birds are in 3/
3/ (Sorry, Muzamal, GORI!!). ...their nests, it is almost dusk at 3.45 PM. Subhan Teri Qudrat I say, wondering about the vastness of the Universe and the insignificance of us creatures. I mean if our earth is a mote of dust in the Universe, we humans must be motes of dust on 4/
Disagree totally! UNPRECEDENTED Janab Farooqi Sahib? UNPRECEDENTED? Does your understanding of Pakistan's political history start with this cruel #Dolt's being foisted upon the country through blatant rigging and end with his being kicked out of office? Forgotten ZAB's 2/
2/ judicial assassination? Forgotten the huge bombing of Benazir's procession that killed upwards of 500 poor political workers, wounded hundreds more, she herself being shot in the head? Forgotten Mr. Nawaz Sharif's imprisonment in Attock Fort and the death sentence awarded 3/
3/ him. You two gents have forgotten the repeated dismissals of 5 PMs, ALL elected? Forgotten the years long jailing of Benazir in Sukkur Jail next to the lunatics barracks, the jail staff supplying them with brickbats to throw on her barracks roof? Forgotten the awful 4/
I am surprised you've only JUST found that we are not a 'serious country', young man! Let me tell you a little story. While ZAB was undergoing his 'murder' trial in the LHC (not Sessions) he used to be brought to court in the back of an open police van, sitting on a cane chair 2/
2/ the jail doctor had recommended it due to ZAB's bad back. One day the chair was missing and when he asked why, he was told,'Hukam nahein hai'. So he refused to sit on the wooden benches. Telephones jangled and one hour later a chair was produced. He arrived in the court 2 3/
3/ hours late. Maulvi Mushtaq roared, 'WHY are you late'? ZAB said, 'My Lord, you know why'. 'Don't talk to me like that, you criminal' Maulvi shouted (Not 'accused', mark). ZAB: 'My Lord, don't shout at me, I am a former President and PM of the country'. 'You are a criminal, 4/
2/ Which quite obviously means NO action will be taken against the great Bajwa, nor against his aiders and abettors Faiz and Ghafoor who, 1) conspired with the Judiciary to remove Mr. Nawaz Sharif from office, disqualify him for life and jail him to make way for the 3/

2/ The crackdown on Imran Khan 'Sahib's' ill-read young supporters who went to the extent of beheading Capt. Karnail Sher Khan's statue is certainly 'draconian'. Well, so was the lifelong disqualification and jailing of 'Nawaz Sharif' under a compact between the then ISI chief 3/
3/ Faiz which is documented and filmed. As was the arrest of many of his party's leaders by NAB, including a former ELECTED PM, yes, @ShahidKhaqanA on fabricated charges where his NAB jailers did not know the difference between 'LNG' and 'CNG'😂😁🤣!! When the disgraceful 'Sar 4/
Indeed! Also, @baqirsajjad makes no mention of: 1) That PM Nawaz Sharif was dismissed from office and jailed in a sham case by a Kangaroo Court, the Judiciary acting in consort with the Army to make way for Imran who was then MASSIVELY #Rigged into power by the Army in broad 2/

3/ the present 'President' of Pakistan attacked and ransacked Pakistan Television; 3) Whilst he talks about the 'poor government policies' of the present government he does not tell us that the economy took a nose dive during Imran's time, the Rupee falling from 105.00 to 4/
