An army cannot afford to allow so many ideologically motivated hardliners to rise to senior ranks and to freelance on behalf of their ideology after retirement.
If General Bajwa must get an invite, it must be from either the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee or India’s army chief, and any meeting with the NSA or the PM must be a courtesy call.
According to satellite images from around 2008, the safe-house where the terrorists were trained is located in ‘Pathan Colony’, around 6 km south-east of Thatta town.
Orchestrated noise at home about ‘treason’ over every fact-based statement relating to Pakistan’s Jihadis won't change the world’s views about Pakistan.

PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's office released a statement saying that it was very unfortunate that the opinion arising out of either misconceptions or grievances was being presented in disregard of concrete facts and realities.
The army spokesman said the National Security Committee, headed by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, will discuss the “misleading media statement” by Sharif.
Opposition leaders have labelled his statement as ‘supporting anti-Pakistan forces’, with Imran Khan calling him ‘modern-day Mir Jafar’ – that is, a traitor.
A stunted middle class may be a direct result of extreme inequality. Folks at the top don’t see teeming masses as a meaningful market, except for utilities, soap, short videos, and personal loans.
Based on inflation figures for the last three months, RBI is expected to look for confirmatory evidence that can mark the beginning of a sustained decline in core inflation.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
sad but true but what could be expected from the army consuming 83 % of the country gdp in the name of Islam n jehad fesabhiLila . haqani hmself was n is a pka jehady. as long as this country is not separated from religion n run in accordance with the vision of m.a Jinah we can not hope for any betterment. . . . let alone to hope about a socialist state
Well to write an article or book in which only ceiticisee and targeting individual or ex pakistan army officers and present this in a way as an patriotic . Criticisem is healthy but targeting and defaming institutes of the country is other thing. We knew isi and pak army helped mujahideen by the help of cia and usa to defeat ussr in afghanistan.
2nd FYI isis created and armed by america ksa and israel to control totaly middle east resources and greater israel agenda and after that using isis against iran. So just if you are against islamic extremism just criticise us policy and the creation of isis. Then i may consider your strugle against extremism and your voice against fake jihad might be true
60 YEARS late and billions of $$ short, Haqqani…given that the army took over in 1958 and made hate of India THE raison-d’etre of the then-unified Pornistan (despite of the warnings of Maulana Bhashani, no friend of India) and was reinforced in this by the only civilian to have actually ruled post-1958 (the LOSER of the 1970 election who refused to accept Mujib as PM, and gave the army an excuse to unleash a reign-of-terror), “allowed” is an understatement — indeed extremist ideology was MANDATORY from 1958 onwards!
Your country’s opportunity to remedy it was immediately after 1971/12/16, when ZA Bhutto could have emulated Konrad Adenauer and purged the army of such Naziesque criminals as had caused the nation to split — instead, he PROMOTED one of the criminals (and after that POS retired, a sympathiser of them — proven beyond-doubt by his appointment of STILL ANOTHER war-criminal as his press-officer)!
An eye-opener of an expose of the deep corruption and the underlying mixture of ineptitude and incompetence that should send a shiver down the spine of any sensible military analysts at the Pentagon, the State Department and indeed the Whitehouse for this a failed country with a nuclear arsenal. I have come to know Ambassador Haqqani in the recent months to be a man of great learning and insight about the Sout Asia’s history, culture and politics second to none. This is most alarming an insight one which we should not downplay or ignore, I hope the powers that be have taken a full measure of this reported business and act accordingly to quickly dismantling this ridiculous failed state to continue like a most lethal zombie. I can’t express more the great debt of gratitude and indebtedness I feel toward Amb. Haqqani to help us see the extent of the internal Islamic rot of this unfortunate bastardy of a nation that is arrested in the iron-claws of the Army-Cabal.
You should have first ensured as to the whereabouts and activities of gen and then had written this piece … should v consider it a fiction ? Plz carryout an analysis of how many of retired gens went that way …whats the %age … then a learned man like u must hav written smthing of this kind
An article like this can only be expected from a traitor like you. Have guts and face the courts in Pakistan. You had been part of the over throw of the governments. Have some shame
There is no confirmation from his family on his whereabouts. Harami Haqani is not be believed. He is a traitor within. He is writing this to get attention when war in Afghanistan is wrapping up and negotiation are on going and “Harami” is wants his opinion counted.
Well written , a check has to be kept on extremists within Army ranks from top to bottom. Sometimes an impression is created as if their are two groups, extremists and moderates. Such a division if there can be harmful to the state and enemies can fan this situation to their advantage.Pakistan intelligence service is the best in the world, it needs to look into such stories circulating on social media.
Both Gen Pervez Musharraf and Gen Shahid Aziz are Muhajirs. And their families are connected through marriages. Aziz himself said in an interview on Pakistani TV channel that since he hails from Allahabad and Musharraf from Delhi lot of marriages have taken place between the two families. However, the real of fallout between the two was that as head of analysis wing of ISI, Aziz had sent a questionnaire to units involved in Kargil misadventure and asked them to spell out reasons for the failure. When Musharraf came to know about this he immediately ordered him to withdraw the questionnaire and transferred him.
A detailed tale of typical Pakistani generals. Also of professionalism of Pakistan’s army.
Homa sb is very much right

One word for u traitor just Puppet to Amirica
This piece has good chance of being true but still a half truth, would you mind letting off details of ur role in rise of Taliban, Mr Haqqani?
So what he joined Talighi Jamat? If would have retired and become a flaming playboy all would be good? Hypocrisy at its best
scary ! the world should combine together to denuclearise pakistan asap
Hussain Haqqani is a turn coat and opportunist…..

Whatever floats your boat Hussain, I’m glad you’ve got people who buy whatever your imaginative mind whips up.

Correction. It should the reason behind the fallout…
Both Gen Pervez Musharraf and Gen Shahid Aziz are Muhajirs. And their families are connected through marriages. Aziz himself said in an interview on Pakistani TV channel that since he hails from Allahabad and Musharraf from Delhi lot of marriages have taken place between the two families. However, the real of fallout between the two was that as head of analysis wing of ISI, Aziz had sent a questionnaire to units involved in Kargil misadventure and asked them to spell out reasons for the failure.
