Maj. Gen. AO Mitha was one of the finest officers that my regiment, the Baluch (now Baloch) Regiment ever produced. He was not a 'Lifafa General'; neither was he an 'Estate Agent General'. He was one of the original SSG Commandos, and, as 2/
2/ I found, fit as a young Captain when he was a Maj. Gen. and had come to attend the Reunion of the Regiment at Abbottabad. Before dinner, General Yahya Khan who was the Colonel-in-Chief called out to him: 'Oye, Mitha, kitnay push-up kar saktay ho'? Without a word Gen. 3/
3/ Mitha went down on all fours and started doing some of the most perfect pushups I'd ever seen. At the 50th, Yahya walked over to him, tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'Bas karo, Bas Karo, yaar! Patta chal gaya hai saron ko'! Everyone had a good laugh! 4/

We KNOW who they are, exactly. #Mushy aka @P_Musharraf leading followed by the svelte and handsome @ShazadAkbar. The point is that the Commission which will cost the country 20 Lakhs a day will 'find' nonsense and lies, and smoke and mirrors which will be taken as the Gospel 2/

Excellent MUST Read article. 'Such relentless destruction' I should have thought, Minister! The doltishness of the #Shitshow is mindboggling: remember the #Idiot minister trying to justify #Selected #nikkaNiazi's helicoptering 2/

Truer, wiser words were never spoken! What happened to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto is THE case in point! I've written about this before: After the loathsome 'Tiger' Niazi (and certain others!!) disgraced himself in East Pakistan, it was ZAB who lifted the General Staff off the ground 2/

Scared witless. Just look how they are hitting out right, left and centre, even accusing Gen. Asad Durrani of being a mole for India's RAW. Seriously ShahJi I have had serious differences with him and have had public spats with him on TV talk shows. I disagree vehemently with 2/

@Zulfi1003 @OfficialDGISPR @GenAmjadShuaib So very right! They are just plain arrogant because they sit in the warm laps of GHQ/ISI, secure in the knowledge that our mendacious and corrupt and vile #DeepState is scared shitless of Nawaz Sharif who insists on limiting it and its departments to the confines prescribed 2/
@Zulfi1003 @OfficialDGISPR @GenAmjadShuaib 2/ by the Constitution. Whenever one says this, the #Duffer @GenAmjadShuaib comes out with: 'Then why do Civilians ask for Army help during earthquakes, floods etcetera'. Because you unlettered unread goof, all Armies across the World come out in aid of their people who PAY 3/
@Zulfi1003 @OfficialDGISPR @GenAmjadShuaib 3/ their bloody salaries (We also grant them virtually free land for their DHAs, dammit!)! Did the Japanese Army not come out after the 2011 Tsunami?

OKAY! Sir @OfficialDGISPR, and your propagandist, the #IdioticKhurpa @GenAmjadShuaib hear this. I am going to write an Open Letter to Sir #GeneralQamarBajwa in the next few days, which is what it should take, considering the 'Gund' (Dirt) his support has allowed the 2/
