Yet, there were many West Pakistani officers who took the strictest actions against these crimes. A student of mine, a Captain of a Battalion of the Frontier Force Regiment posted in East Pakistan (if I am not wrong 4 FF - Please confirm, Phaa Mushtaq: Lt. Gen. Mushtaq of Chak 2/
2/ 494 GB, Mamoon Kanjan, Distt. Faisalabad, if I am right, though knowing Mushtaq he will NOT be on SM, so could someone pass this message on to him please?) again from Faisalabad, took the law into his own hands when the local Station Master of a small rural Train Station, 3/
3/ a Hindu gentleman came to him and reported that his daughter had been raped last night by an NCO of his company, lined the Company up, and when the NCO had been identified by the girl AND her parents, proceeded to thrash the chap in front of his peers breaking his arm in 4/
4/ the process. He was pulled up before a Court Martial and said yes, he had done what was charged but the situation was completely out of hand. He was just given a Severe Reprimand. The poor young man lost his life a few days later in an Indian attack on his positions. So, 5/
5/ whilst there were scoundrels like Lt. Gen. Amir Abdullah Khan (Tiger) Niazi MC, a once gallant officer who deteriorated to becoming a reprobate as he grew in rank, there were young officers like the one described above. I've written about an anecdote to do with Niazi. He 6/
6/ once accompanied General Hameed 'Burmi' for a shoot in the Bajwat Forest which was near Marala where my Battalion was posted. As Mess Secretary I was also on hand to receive the Generals. General Hameed was, as always, courteous and kind to a fault. But Niazi said something 7/
7/ that I don't now recollect, but something vulgar and low-down about my Battalion that made me hate him thenceforth! And he said it as I was holding open the door for him to enter our Mess Ante Room! Total #Yahoo who had the same graces his nephew id demonstrating today!

Just now saw @Shahidmasooddr @ShahidMasooddrr on the Bakery Network. He is an old friend but I was stunned to see him suggest that our Great Generals whose every word is #SelectedOaf @ImranKhanPTI 's command are babes in the woods and that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. 2/
2/ I mean, it is one thing to do as a lost and confused #ISPR puts out as it flails about trying to find a way for the ISI/Army to get out of the maze they have built around themselves with no markers pointing the way out, it is another to make a complete hash of it! Just 3/
3/ yesterday he was telling us how #Selected has lost the support of the 'Establishment'; today he says the 'Politicians' better sort themselves out because Generals have no voice because they religiously follow the Constitution...BUT...that if they don't, the poor innocent 4/

No, no. He has tested positive. Woe! I am so sorry. Believe me, every single night when I go to bed I pray to the Almighty to forgive me my sins, and to grant good health to him, and to everyone: the Twitterati; my children and grandchildren; even #SelectedGoofOnHoof 2/
2/ @ImranKhanPTI , my pet hate for being the #Vile being he is. Trump is the elected President of the United States, and I respect him and wish him well. #ImranAhmedKhanNiazi is #RIGGED into office by the conglomerate of #GHQ/#ISI Co., (Pvt.) Ltd. H.O. GHQ, Rawalpindi; Branch 3/

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/

Heartfelt condolences! Knew General Rahim as a senior 4 Balochi, met him a few times at Reunions. Knew General Naseer Akhtar well from CCH where he was in the Ist Year FSc and I and his brother Munir Akhtar buddies in the 8th Class. Muzaffar Usmani was my coursemate: 36th PMA 2/
2/ Of all 3 I was closest to General Naseer Akhtar, or 'Naseer Thee' as he was called in School. Munir Akhtar's nickname was 'Mochi' (mine was Chakki for my fat behind!): I lost contact with Mochi in about 1967. He moved to the U.S. if I recall. Gen. Naseer's younger 3/

So, any more moves from the heroes of Aabpara and GHQ to arrest a brave young lady, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, on no charges at all but that her father a 3-time elected PM of this hapless country came out and laid bare the truth of the COAS and the DG ISI subverting democracy every 2/
2/ so often? Well, damn their plans. How I wish the COAS took a serious look at the firing and education and discipline standards in his units, and the DG ISI looked into the breaches of security such as the 'escape'🤣😂 of the Arch-terrorist #EhsanullahEhsan who directed the 3/
3/ cruel massacre of 150 mainly Army school children and the burning alive of their teacher, a serving Brigadier's lady wife. Kuchh Sharam hoti hai! Kuchh Haya hota hai!!

Let us revisit @SMQureshiPTI 's too-clever-by-half and utterly stupid use of the title of Ayub Khan's ghost-written book by that arch cynic Altaf Gauhar. It was said at the time that Gauhar chose the title as a stab in the Dictator's back: not Friends, not Masters but 2/
2/ 'Friends not, Masters'! Relations were most fraught with Afghanistan when that damned book was written and Army and Airforce exercises termed Afghanistan with degrading terms like 'RedLand' of 'Foxland' (Pakistan always being BlueLand) and Sardar Daood as the 'Madman'. 3/
3/ Seriously, how much more damage will this #RIGGED so-called 'government' of dunderheads do to our poor country? P.S. It was said at the time that the book was Altaf Gauhar's parting kick to Ayub, just as his son, Humayun Gauhar's joke of a book 'In the Line of Fire' was a 4/
