In the past few weeks there has been a buzz spreading around Pakistan’s digital world talking about the recent fame surrounding the TV show personality Zaid Hamid who conducts a show on TV One called Brasstacks. It should be mentioned that brasstacks is reportedly a paid-for show which has started airing barely a few months back and has developed a very strong following amongst the masses. Admittedly Zaid Hamid is quite eloquent in his show and is well versed in his explaining his innumerable concepts of ranging from economic terrorism by the Zionists to other such issues which are poised at him even Islamic issues
I too have been guilty of occasionally catching a glimpse of his show and did even carry his five part series on Economic Terrorism. All seemed well until a close associate contacted me via facebook sharing his concerns about Zaid Zaman Hamid and revealed his suspicious association with Yousuf Ali, a self proclaimed prophet from Lahore in the 1990’s. Zaid Zaman was purportedly the right hand man of Yousuf Ali and was fondly referred to as his Hazrat Ali. Zaid Zaman was instrumental in spreading the message of prophecy far across Pakistan, to develop a large cult like following in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad mostly due to Zaid Zaman’s excellent communication skills.
Yousuf Ali had been preaching his divine revelation to his followers for quite many years when finally a handful defected and braved to testify against him in the Lahore High Court which ultimately gave Yousuf Ali, a death sentence on charges of Blasphemy. Yousuf Ali was then confined to Kot Lakhpath jail and in 2001 was shot dead by a fellow prisoner. Throughout the legal proceedings one witness after another testified to the fact that Zaid Zaman was a key figure in the promotion of Yousuf Ali’s Kazzab movement. I have been told that there even does exists an analog video of Zaid Zaman standing beside Yousuf Ali while he addressed his followers in Lahore. Somehow the fact that Zaid Zaman was a key figure in this movement is generally a foregone conclusion, as there are one too many eye witnesses and more importantly numerous had testified the fact which may even be present in the records of Lahore High Court, including Zaid Zaman’s testimony to the honorable judge, all records are securely preserved in the archives of Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat in Karachi.
The Zaid Zaman Hamid storm actually started with the email from Naufil Shahrukh, a close friend whom I have known since 1990, the email at first in the form of a private message on Facebook but soon propagated online and published on Dictatorship Watch, verbatim
If you guys remember the Pakistan false prophet, Yousuf Ali, who was arrested and sentenced to death by the Lahore High Court and then murdered in Kot Lakhpat jail by a fellow prisoner – this guy Zaid Hamid was known as Zaid Zaman at that time and was the Khalifah of that Kazzab. Zaid is still leading that cult which belongs to the Firqah Batinyah of Sufism and they have a different aqeedah altogether which they only profess within their inner core. Many of my personal friends fell prey to his charisma in the 1990s, some of them reverted back to Hidayah and were instrumental in filing a case against Yusuf Ali which ultimately lead to his death sentence and the cult members dispersed for a few years.
The time line of events that he narrates in his letter are erringly accurate and when Naufil mentioned to me later pointing out the common friends who fell prey to this cult one does weigh in a sigh of relief to have been spared of the poison. The most logical reason as to why our neighborhood was penetrated to such an extent can be attributed to the fact that Zaid Hamid hailed from our locality. Off the friends who willingly embraced Yousuf Ali’s prophecy was Ryzwan Tayyab who very soon featured himself as a militant leader of the movement and after the collapse of this movement has retreated into a cocoon of severe depression irreparably damaging his family around him. Ryzwan was also involved in actually issuing death threats to the few journalists who were critically investigating Yousuf Ali back in those days.
The resurfacing of Zaid Hamid after 15 years of hibernation is interesting, he catapults himself in 2006 as a security threat analyst frequently publishing PDF based Pakistan threat reports for a subscription fee of Rs. 25,000 but within a span of a two years mustered up enough finances to launch a self sponsored TV show which started transmission in the early months of 2008, suspiciously timed around the fall of the Pervaiz Musharraf’s regime. The sudden shot to fame on TV is being compared to the launch of Dr. Shahid Masood’s End of Time series, which too was based on an eloquent anchor with one too many theories to present.
Off the numerous people stepping forth to expose Zaid Hamid the must read narration is of a two year email correspondence between Zaid Hamid and Abidullah Jan. It gives an insight onto Zaid Zaman when he first started sharing his BrassTacks Security reports, slowly moving into becoming a much sought after personality. What was interesting to read was when in the early months of 2007 Zaid Zaman approached Abidullah Jan struggling to stay afloat and requested Abid to help promote his security reports to a wider audience “I am in need of some clients to stay afloat as I am being squeezed by the government’s men for being too open and ruthless”. Zaid Hamid a few months later, after the 3rd Nov Martial Law appeared on a couple of pro-Musharraf TV shows on PTV with Ahmed Qureshi. Then suddenly out of the blue he is able to muster up enough finances to launch a self sponsored show on TV One. Watching a person flutter from being financially strapped and haunted by ‘government’s men’ to appearing on a pro-Musharraf show, then having catapulting into his own show seems all too suspiciously the work of some ‘hidden hands‘
If coincidence was anything to go by, I also noted that around this time emerged Zaid Hamid’s articles on a very staunch pro-Musharraf proponent Ahmed Quraishi who continues to wage an online battle with the Anti-Musharraf sect. When today I inquisitively launched a witch hunt for Zaid Hamid on the website I was surprised to see that quite a few of Zaid Hamid’s editorials were missing for example the January 29th article which should have led to the page has been removed from the website sometime after September 5th 2008 [as indicated by the Google Cache] and this is not the only article missing of the series, I wonder why the sudden cover up after September 5th by Ahmed Quraishi.
The only acknowledgment of any link with Yousuf Ali came from an email shared with me privately where Zaid Hamid Alhamdolillah, i have nothing to do with Yousuf or his beliefs or any other people like him.
Lest I be charged of taking this message out of context I share with you the entire section of the email so people may understand his response fully
In the last 30 years of my life, In search of truth and to study this world and its ideologies, Allah took me to many places and I met many people. I have traveled with Iranian revolution, have faught in Afghan Jihad, have gone out with Tablighi Jmaat, spent time with Jamaat Islami, have met hundreds of people including Dr. Israr, Ahmad deedat, Yusuf Islam, Anne Marrie schimmel and so on and so forth. Have also been with sufi groups in Pakistan, Turkey, Madina and Cyprus. I have also seen the western society, its civilization from a close range. Whatever I speak and do today, is the result of these experiences in life but with the mercy of Allah, He protected his humble slaves and keeps them in His infinite mercy and guidance. He showed me the world and people, but kept me away from their harm and made me benefit from any khair they had.
I also met and studied many objectionable people who were controversial but in the end Allah kept me away from them. It was all learning experiences. Alhamdolillah, i have nothing to do with Yusuf or his beliefs or any other people like him
Though he puts forth a convincing argument but it seems yet again that he refuses to acknowledge his association with Yousuf Ali to categorically say that he has “nothing to do with Yousuf or his beliefs” is this admittance of his association or denial of the fact?
Proponents of Zaid Hamid continue to plead his innocence even today as Pakistan First blog, which has been previously labeled to have a strong pro-Musharraf tilt, shared an article by Asif Shiraz who writes Zaid Hamid: As I knew him
I first met Zaid hamid at the youthful age of 17, when the emotions were high, and the search for truth pristine and innocent. A friend had told me about Zaid Hamid, and I was anxious to meet him: I was not disappointed. Our first meeting was a blast. I enjoyed Zaid sahib’s charismatic talk on many different issues, especially his passion about Islam and his knowledge on a diverse set of subjects. Although it’s been many years now, I still remember highlights of that conversation: Quotations from Iqbal, recollection of glorious events from the lives of the Sahaba, and discussion of the relevance of having truth faith “Yaqin”. Not once on that day, nor ever afterwards in these fifteen years, have I ever heard anything from Zaid Hamid which is incongruent to ideas present in mainstream religious teachings of Ahl-e-Sunnah wal-jamaat. No mention of any “cult ideology”, and no reference to anyone claiming “prophethood” whatsoever. He is a firm believer in Khatme-e-Nabuwat and the finality of Prophet Muhammad(sm). In fact, Zaid Hamid is the only person whom I have met, who lives in a rented home, but still spends a handsome chunk of his earnings every year to pay a visit to the blessed cities of Hijaz-e-Muqaddas. It is nothing other than Zaid Hamid’s love and devotion to the Prophet(sm) that he has visited Masjid-e-Nabwi more than 10 times. After the first initial meeting, I have been in touch with Zaid Hamid off and on for many years, until I moved to Chaklala Scheme III becoming his neighbor and an even closer friend.
Asif Shiraz does admit in his article that he is now a neighbor of Zaid Hamid but surprisingly fails to disclose that he is an employee of BrassTacks as proclaimed by him in this Facebook message (Screen capture) whilst a little investigation also sheds some light that Mr. Asif Shiraz incidentally happens to be the Administrative domain contact for Zaid Hamid’s website Brasstacks.biz (screen capture)
It is sadly Asif Shiraz’s attempt to stand up for his boss only goes to discredit Zaid Zaman. To analyze Zaid Hamid’s Brasstacks TV show one should read the two articles published in The News by Fasi Zaka September 18th The Pakistan Report and on 25th September published a follow up titled Hate Speech – II
My concern here remains is that Zaid Zaman is appearing on public TV and continues to eloquently preach his philosophy to the public at large, had if this individual remained as private entity, then we would have had no right to question his beliefs, but once he dons the public forum, then I feel it is the right of the people to know the facts. Generally as a free society we cannot stop him from sharing his opinion with the public at large but it is our right to question his logic and any underlying issues that may tarnish his analysis as he chooses to present to the public, and in the same pretext its important to then question his association with the self proclaimed prophet a notion strictly prohibited in the religion of Islam.
The mystery surrounding this controversy seemingly gets worse with every passing day, could it be a mere propaganda, could it be his attempt to cover up his past, or does he simply choose ignore and hopefully forget, but more importantly does he still believe in the prophecy, so many questions, all shall remain a mystery until he alone chooses to address the propaganda and clarify his position once in for all

@ Rauf,
keep it up chum,
don’t let them go, if you catch them,
take their skin off,
comedown from the top on them, like a Sunami,
surprise them, no pity !!
Takbirrrrrrr Allah Akbar !!
Pakistan Zindabaad
@Rafay
Could you please clarify your response above!
who r takfiris ..r they right or wrong..can anybody put alight on it
@AK – 74
Takfiris is a terminology used by Dalals like ZZ Hamid. Actually these illegitimate offspring of aunty Shamim, ZZ Hamid and his supporters wanted to wash the dirt of Musharraf so they declared the daughters of nation (of Lal Masjid) as Takfiris.
why ZZH and his followers r against the innocent martyres of lal masjid..they r following whose agenda????he should be fixed
@ Arshad Khan,
to Rauf Sahib, I warned him of evil Waswasah !
encouraging him to stand firm as he is !
why do you ask ?
@ AK -74,
Takfiris, belonging to a secret Movement called
Takfir wal-Hijjrah, their political tendency is to
eliminate and kill all the muslims who are not
following Islam, under non-muslim rule, not fighting
for Islam, and they justify all crimes to obtain
the elimination of such muslims, Afghanis, Pakistanis
or any country of muslims not practicing Islam
according to their interpretations, they borrow this
tendency from Hassan Bin Sabah, and Kharijis, they even
allow themselves to cooperate with Batilans e.g
they have penetrated into Talibans and helping USA
and Nato swines to kill and torture muslims, they are
said to be directly involved in Bombings in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Pakistan now. Hassan Bin Sabah
practiced terrorism borrowed from crusaders called
in Arabic AL-UNF.
Talibans Founded by JUI Fazlu are divided into three
group
1.Militant of Afghanistan Pushtoo speaking, want to drive
out all Batilans form their land, have nothing against
Pakistan, but Karzai dog is killing them.
2.Pakistani Talibans as you know well where they are
active and operational, they also don’t want any
distruction of Pakistan, but are Hard-liners, I can not
confirm to you if they were in Laal Masjid, NO !
3. Third group is very small but very efficient, these are
Takfiris, who are said to be responsible of all bombings
and are supported and helped by Batilans, they are
strictly against any compromise or agreement or Jurgah
between Talibans- Afghanis-Pakistanis.
Talkhaba & Co is ignorant in these matters.
These are my possible informations about it according
to my capacity and history refrences. If some one can
correct or add. Faddal
@Rafay
I coouldn’t understand what you were responding too. Thats all. And what you meant.
“@Rafay,
well, we are not ignorant in these matters. we are not ignorant in matters relating to war on terror. Till the did Ghazis hadn’t closed Anty Shamim’s brothel, they were the real muslims. They had never entered to the Five Star hotels, the real brothel but arrested Aunty Shamim who wanted to make the whole city a brothel. in fact she was arrested the complaints of common citizens. acutually anuty shamim and her offsprings wanted to convert the whole city into brothel, a RandiKhana in each and every Mohalah. and The civil and military establishment were afraid that they might not enter to the five star hotels and BIG Banglows. For those who haven’t read Salma Ahmed book do read that and you will come to know who were the benificiary of brothal in Islamabad. If Ghazis were Takfiris, i would love to become takifiri. I am peronally not in favor of pakistani taliban, instead they are planted by those who are doing operation against them. As for As ZZH is concernd he just bark on TV but his hidden agenda is to improve the image of Hijraas.
I am still not 100% sure, that zzh was the deputy of yousuf kazzab or ceo of that cult as i did not see the concrete evidence by myself,Although his whole personality is dubious as people alleged him involving serious crime and some asked serious questions about those allegations and he still did not give the answer neither his defenders tried to answer. In fact, we are involved in point scoring rhetoric.
However, I watched the whole lal masjid and jamia hafsa tragedy, what I could not understand how a sincere Muslim who fears Allah (swt) can be so cruel and mean towards the shohda e jamia hafsa and lal masjid.
You can disagree with the methodology these shohada adopted but spewing the poison against them is beyond my understanding as a Muslim.
If zzh said some thing which is quoted again and again it’s mean something is wrong with him.
@talkhaba
one thing always amaze me as i noticed that some people are furious on action of some students againt aunty shameem.
i mean guys we live in pakistan we see inequities,voilence and oppression in our daily life,even people stoped to bother, why there is this kind of fuss when it comes to aunty shameem and her brothel?
i did not understant that.
@ rafay a.k.a. jahil e mutlaq is an agent of ISI which is sponsoring this crap called brasstacks on tvone. zaid zaman is no intellectual but is a moutpiece of whatever script is given to him by the GHQ. now everyone in the country understandts that it is the bloody army which is the biggest enemy of pakistan and its people. we cannot be fooled repeatedly with the propaganda rhetoric of the khaki bastards that the jews and hindus are doing this against us! it is the sandhurst trained army generals (sons of professional whores like general rani and aunty shameem) who are getting paid by the neocons to destroy pakistan and its resources. and dallals like zaid zaman are the ones who are used by them to befool the common people. yusuf kazzab was also a product of the ISI. he was accompanied by a serving and two retd generals. many other ISI agents like zaid zaman did his marketing. i salute the people who went to court against him and sent him to hell, the final destiny of all napak army generals and ISI agents, inshallah.
the time is not far away, rafay kanjer, that you and other khaki bastards will be minced into pieces by the patriotic people of pakistan in the streets of rawalpindi and the GHQ will be burnt to ashes by the fiery storm of common men!
@sher afgan
You’re right that Mr Raffay is Jahil Mutlaq. It’s evident from his discussion on this blog. He is supporting Kazzab rather he seems to be part of his team.
Anyways I don’t agree with you on “and the GHQ will be burnt to ashes by the fiery storm of common men!”
We need the GHQ as Headquarter to protect our borders and fight with enemies like US and India. We are against the action and not people. If GHQ is meant a place from where the forces are sent to fight with evils, we need it and hope one day it will start its work instead of working is Land Mafia headquarter.
@All you guyz bring is allegations and threats which seems to be common in Pakistan. Proof or truth is never presented. Lets just take an example of Zaid Hamid.
For Pakistan to save itself it needs a quick action to cleanse itself of extreme and prevalent corruption of every sort.
We need debates on televion between scholar like Israr Ahmed and Mr. Zaid Hamid or/and debates between accusers (witnesses and others) and defenders of Zaid hamid on television.
I have these questions after being on this site and would like concrete and clear evidence of the following:
1. Did Zaid Hamid support Musharraff regarding Lal Masjid operation?
2. Why aren’t the women in Brasstacks properly covering up?
3. What were the beliefs of Yusuf Ali?
4. Was Zaid hamid associated Yusuf Ali?
5. Does he still support views of Yusuf Ali?
Other questions presented above may need to be answered later but these are some questions that need immediate answers through proofs, debates and etc.
But one thing I know for is that we need to stop the allegations without presenting proofs and weak threats.
Check this post out guys:

@ I am amazed to watch the “come-back” of
the Sher afgan Niazi on this blog ! but as a
retarded Mirassi, he can well recognize his tribe
and race, the Kanjers. His comment was printed by
Indian Hindu Bastards RAW ! its their language !!
@ Talkhaba,
on the subject of Brothels in, e.g Islamabad,
I have already expressed my views which is not
at all different than your’s, I know the whole
story of Auntie Shamim and others, my opinion is on
ATP Pakistaniat.com . I denounced the organised
Prostitution anywhere in Pakistan on any level.
Ok, taking personal initiatives to apprehand the
Auntie, without law-enforcement, I would have perhaps
acted exactly like Ghazi, go and get them, relying on
Police was useless !
but you must respect other’s opinion as well, who think
that the police should handle this matter thru proper
channels. So
you and Zaid Hamid have common enemies.
Dirty language will not prove your Islamic claim,
@ of course the Name Niazi is fictive and is
not dedicated to the sher Afgan I have to
massacre in pindi, the s o a b
I dont believe on you nor on the personality of Mr. Zaid Hamid. The only thing I believe are the WORDS & FACTS uttered deliberately through the personality of Mr. Ziad Hamid.
I think you have not the courage to hear and bear the TRUTH >>>> Do you…?
@ali khan!
please do not mind if i suggest you to” believe on personality with character(of the one)in the light of life long work”
words can be misleading,mentioning the facts can be a tool for some loathful gain.
people are dying to hear the answers of some questions.

“the Sher afgan Niazi on this blog ! but as a

“Dirty language will not prove your Islamic claim,”
Look Raffay is asking me to improve my language.
guys!
is it adrenaline surging in your blood or is it a war between kuffar and muslims.
we can have a serious discussion on this topic.why abusing each other?tell me what good can possibly come out from personal aatacks?
@dr.jawwadkhan
@dr.jawwadkhan
You’re right we should avoid abusing each others. But be sure it’s a war between Kuffar and Muslims. Many others support Musharraf. We do criticize them and we are not after them. Then why ZZH only. It’s because ZZH and his team association with Yousaf Kazzab. These Raffay Shaffays haven’t the answers asked about ZZH association with Kazzab yet.
@khanlala
i guess most of the people defending zzh are one of us and because zzh is such a influencing person that they are still unable to consider him as an oppurtunist and magniloquent exploiter.
i followed the posts of many people especially @rafay kashmiri, i believe he is one of us, except his support for zzh.
As long as he doesn’t say anything unIslamic or against my country, I’ll support him. And it’s very easy to criticize, but not at all to do something creative. THank you!
@H.Maryam!
there is strong reason for criticism his attitude towards lal masjid and ghazi abdul rasheed and other shohada clearly tell,s us that some thing is wrong with this guy.
@ Khanlala, Sherafgan,bios all anonymous
I will, Inshallah, not respond to your insults and
personal attacks anymore, its not worth.
Check out Zaid Hamid’s new post!

@dr jawwad khan
I am not very sharp but where is the evidence that he was supporting operation of Lal Masjid? Do you have any video link that clearly shows Zaid hamid’s support for Lal Masjid operation?
JazakAllah!

@dr.jawwadkhan
“rafay kashmiri, i believe he is one of us” you think so because you have read him. right. for your information ZZ Hamid was once one of us. His Background of Jamiat, Jihad and Afganistan etc. I was personally supporter of Army but the day its started acting like mercenaries i started criticizing it for its role of “Karay Kai Sipahi”. we oppose ZZH on two grounds. First he is the “Baqiat” and new leader of yousaf Kazzab’s firqa-e-Batania and secondly , becuase on one hand he bark against Zionist and Hindus but he has been and is supporting those who their agents.
As for as your assesment of Raffay is concerned may be he is the new victim of ZZH, his (Raffay) religious tendency makes him follow ZZH but we here just want to make Raffay Kashmiri and other like him aware that ZZH is leading firqa-e-Batnia. His hate speech against the followers of other religions is just a cover to hide his dirty character of an agent of those who has waged a war against Muslims.
Jazakallaho khaira.
Allah pak tamaam muslims kay imaan ki hifazat farmaain. Har fitnay say Allah Pak hi bachaatay hain banda apni aqal say nahi bach sakta.
Koi muslim phone par bhi aaj Al-Qaida ya Taliban ki baat kartay hoay ghabraata hay or darta hay, or ye Zaid itna bahadur hay kay Talibaan or Al-Qaida ka khul kar himaiti banta hay, I think ye kaafi hay iskay harami honay ko samhajnay k liye.
Aray Bhai Ata kia Nukta Nikal Laen Hein Aap. Wah, Jb koi nahen bolsakta tu Yeh Harrami kis tarah Bahadur Bana Hua Hai?
soon you be told by this bunch of lair that ZZH’s program wasn’t aired despited it being recorded. They will tell you its reason was ZZH’s cticizing CIA. But the fact remains bold and clear that it was due to the discussion that he will be no more seen on PTV and finally TVONE that is told by the master to not onair their program cause their choice to make ZZH their mouth piece was big plunder.
Thats good news, another good news is that the translation of foreword of Janab Ismael Qureshi is avaible and will be soon published.
@ Arshad Khan
@ Fahad
@ Factor
the Batilans evil has started functioning in
Pakistan, the ordeal of oppression on Zaid Hamid has
began, The Batilans are :
CIA, RAW, MI6, KHAD, MOSAD, TAKFIRIS TALIBANS,
local traitors, seculars etc. etc.
they will excercise every repression on Zaid Hamid,
the treason is played on high level, those involved in
shutting off Zaid Hamid suppose to be :
Interior Ministry
Information & Media Ministry
Tehrik-e-Taliban, Takfiri
approval of PPP. and M Q M
Is Tehrik-e-Khatme-Nobuwat involved ?? lets wait !
all those who believe in freedom of Expression and
respect freedom of opposition should be on their ALERT!
to react on any attempt on Zaid Hamid to strangle his
voice, they might put the responsibility of any harm
to Zaid, on Tehrik-e-Khatme Nabuwaat, we all know this
old game. We must not sit quietly and watch the evil
to strangle our freedom.
contd……………
@raffay “Is Tehrik-e-Khatme-Nobuwat involved?? Lets wait!”
“Chor ki Darhi mein Tinka” I’m dead sure this Raffay is the screen name of ZZH. Why Khatme-Nabawat?
Pls explain before i explain this portion.
“Any harm to Zaid,” why should be harmed? His opponent doesn’t believe in that. IF they wanted to harm him they were not stupid to first him controversial and then do that. Common your upper part seems to empty.
With Special Thanks to Islamabad observer
CIA pulls back the support of Ziad Zaman as he gets exposed: ‘we lost some corporate clients’, states Zaid Hamid in an E Mail sent to his followers!!!
Like a typical fake and a looser, he uses religious slogans to keep his followers around him, rather then being bold enough and going to court against TV which is not willing to air his ‘magic show’ after he is exposed. He did not mentioned to his followers that he has been exposed and people are asking questions about his past and future!
He is accusing government…….which is facing harsh criticism from media and unable to stop any other website or TV program.
His exposer is forcing his clients which are CIA backed multinationals and CIA wages wars on countries to safeguard interests of these corporates. Once CIA pulls back support of a puppet, these corporations disappears and fundings stops.
Is this happening to the fake?
Read his e mail and figure out!
===============================
Dear brothers and sisters,
Assalam alaikum. just to bring you on board the developments.
PTV today did not air our program on time despite recording it. It seems to be going through axe or scissors at the moment. It was a harsh program against CIA and US policies after Obama elections.
News1 has also called us to inform that government has come down heavily on them after our last program on CIA threats. They have been threatened with serious consequences but so far they have not been asked to close us down. It has been said that the most powerfull in the land took personal exception to this for our references to their corruption. Alhamdolillah. We have NOT been stopped for now but seriously admonished this time. Inshallah we shall continue on News1 in our normal mode despite these risks, till Allah permits.
We have also lost a few major corporate clients. Few important client meetings have been canceled. Alhamdolillah kaseera.
Now our main unofficial fan website has been closed down. Please read the message from Nouman, our volunteer. We don’t know on whose instructions this has been done but we can make intelligent guesses
Alhamdolillah, we are grateful to Allah (swt) for His Baraka and Karam that we are able to confront and challenge the Kufr to the point of hurting them deeply. Alhamdolillah Kaseera. We need your dua all the way. Inshallah, we will do our duty as ordained by Allah (swt) for the sake of this deen and nation.
Don’t panic and don’t worry. Inshallah there is khair in all this. In these trying times for the nation, it is a risk we have to take and By Allah, it is worth taking all the way. May Allah bless all those who are standing by us and those who are praying for us and the Ummah.
We have produced and circulated the Urdu pdf format or booklets of our programs and more are coming inshallah. Make good use of these. We need to spread the message. There is an urgency now.
Wassalam and dua
Zaid Hamid
Asalamoalaikum all!
We need answers for these question from anybody with trustable and clear evidence. They could come from anybody i.e. accusers or the accused.
1. Did Zaid Hamid support Musharraff regarding Lal Masjid operation?
2. Why aren’t the women in Brasstacks properly covering up?
3. What were the beliefs of Yusuf Ali?
4. Was Zaid hamid associated Yusuf Ali?
5. Does he still support views of Yusuf Ali?
Please don’t give us piece of papers if you know what I mean!
May Allah guide us to the right path!Ameen!

Subject: [BrassTacks_Direct] Updates — New program on News1 and much more 🙂
To: brasstacks_direct@yahoogroups.com
Dear brothers and sisters,
Assalam alaikum.
Few quick updates.
Alhamdolillah we have started a new Q&A program on News1 on trial basis. First program was recorded today at a university in Pindi and it will be aired on Sunday 12:20 around mid day, inshallah. There was some comedy of errors in its making and News1 did not discuss with me the topic before fixing the date for recording, hence I was caught rather unexpectedly discussing the health issues of the country :)) Anyway, it went ok as students did get a doze of values, ideology and identity along with discussing health issues. I am not aware of the repeat timings yet. Pl try to catch it and give your feedback which will be shared with News1 management.
The repeat broadcasts for CIA’s threats to Pakistan part 2 have been blocked as well and News1 have not aired them under pressure from the government. The program is uploaded on youtube, so please make good use of it as it will not be produced by News1 till this corrupt government exists. PTV did air that program which they had withheld but after heavily censoring all what I had to say. Have heard that PTV have been asked not to invite me again. Basically, it is a ban. Alhamdolillah kaseera.
Lastly, we have recorded a new BrassTacks program in a new series on Allama Iqbal and his mysterious personality. Inshallah first will be aired on Sunday November 16th at 8 pm. Inshallah it will go a long way to revive Iqbal and his message of self respect and dignity and the viewers will see some hidden dimensions of Iqbal.
May Allah bless you all and with dua for khair and baraka for this Kishware Haseen.

i knw da guy personally…. hes a great person offers prayers five time a day and helps poor he ix a common man with loads of knowledge…. just stop making ool out of the common people
@ Khan lala,
you forgot, I am on Islamabadobserver as well, to
contradict you, don’t spread false rumours of CIA!!
I don’t know your experiences in these matters,
a conspiracy is prepared first, functions divided, and
only one or two persons for that job, and then deliminate
both of them. You are either too young or simply naive !
what is your age (approx.) ? just give me an idea !
let me give a very short explanation !
since the history of Tehrik-e-Khatme-Nabuwat, the Tehrik
which had developed a political conscience among muslims
of India, and had consolidated an unbreakable opinion,
later on, was ‘infiltrated ‘ by the blind militants who
did what ever they wanted, and if you know the history
of this Tehrik, was practically hijacked by
undesirable extremists who only thought of going out
for hunting a ” potential Impostor”, this lead them to
an attitude of very divided functions of the Tehrik,
now, it had brought a lot of demmage to this Tehrik.
I can only cast my doubts on those who claim to be
Tehrik’s militants by waving green signal against
any one without any answerability to its Quaids ?
I had attended their Int.conferences in 80s 90s, I was
shocked and disappointed by their quality. It was not
more than a ” Mela ” with third class literature on
Qadianism with stupid, repeated, outdated, saturated
references, nothing to compare with what dr_jawwad71
presented as material on this blog, what a difference !
I am investigating at the moment ! will let you know
Inshallah. Don’t be impatient !
@ Zaid Hamid says,
” CIA is pressurising the Pak Media and Pak Govt.
to withdraw and not to diffuse Zaid Hamid’s videos
against CIA, USA and in short B A T I L A N S ”
and the Takfiris say
” CIA has withdrawn its support for Zaid Hamid ”
wah wah wah wah, subhanallah, jazalullah-e-khair,
Mashallah, the fucking Shaitani LUSHKAR-Mirassian.
The Khusrah have better moral than you 1/2 hijras
Sherafgans.
@rafay kanjar
you are like a tail of your father, i.e., kuttay ki dum! terhi hi rahay gi!
yesterday i met an old friend of mine, a major, who is now deputed in ISI. he only visits me once in a blue moon to get all the curses I utter for his khaki bosses. he admitted that brasstacks is an ispr funded and ISI scripted program but since somehow the affiliation of zaid hamid with yusuf kazzab was overlooked and now it has been exposed, the agency wants to pull the plug from him. poor zaid hamid and his poor followers like rafay kanjar are now orphans once again!
To all affectees of brasstacks and ahmedqureshi.com:
http://www.dictatorshipwatch.com/2008/11/16/a-note-of-caution-to-isi-and-ispr.html
Pakistan is as much in the line of fire as it is in the line of lies – not only the lies and deception by the Western propaganda machine which once focused its full attention on the Taliban government in Afghanistan but also the ISI-ISPR civilian wings, which are mixing truth with falsehood to an extent that it becomes hard for their audience to tell fact from fiction.
BrassTack, Ahmadqureshi.com, http://www.daily.pk/index.php are just a few prominent examples of these internal machines for mixing truth with falsehood. They would tell you that we now have a CIA sponsored democracy, but they would never tell that the road to this tyrannical, sold out regime is facilitated by no one other than General Musharraf and his chore commanders.
They would tell us that Zionists and neo-cons have set their eyes on Pakistan but they would never say that no one other than Pakistan army has served them to the best possible extent. They would lie that Musharraf destroyed the US foreign policy and he never agreed to the US conditions, but they would deliberately hide the fact that he had handlers in the CIA and Mossad, at least, since 80s.
The CIA’s manoeuvres vis-à-vis Pakistan were absolutely not against Musharraf as such. In fact, Musharraf was part of all those manoeuvres which first lead to a deal with Benazir Bhutto and then to her assassination with the full knowledge and participation of Musharraf (Musharraf and the Yellow Tape), Rehman Malik, et al. Even Bhutto’s husband said, al-ka-eeda didn’t do it. To him its was the Mush regime who did it. Those who could see beyond their nose saw it long ago that a thug, Zardari, was being shaped up to be the next king.
There is absolutely no resemblances to organised ‘people’s power’ the CIA unleashed during ‘colour revolutions’ and upheavals against Hugo Chavez. Hugo Chavez is a true patriot standing up to the tyrannical empire. It is misleading to compare the sold out general Musharraf with him.
When the CIA and other Musharraf handlers realized that it would be hard to sustain him in power as his term of service came to an end, they had no option but to think of a game plan to replace him with a favourable group of sold-outs who would continue his undermining Pakistan in the near future. It is not something like the Orange Revolution of Ukraine in 2004 and the Tulip Revolution of Kyrgystan in 2005 where pro-US rulers were established in power. In this case, Musharraf was part of the whole plan to bring about a kind of change that should minimally disrupt the process of undermining Pakistan.
Barbarism during Mush rule
Musharraf was part of the backroom manoeuvres by the US and British intelligence services to engineer panic about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear assets. He was the one confirming all the lies by the CIA by issuing statements that he didn’t believe that Abdul Qadeer Khan was involved in the alleged nuclear trade until he was shown blue prints of Pakistani nuclear assets, etc. by the CIA during his short stay in the US.
Musharraf did not refuse permission to interrogate Dr. AQ Khan. In fact, what Musharraf did was part of the plan. He effectively participated in the propaganda campaign. Accepted responsibility and implicated Pakistan in the mess. All actions and statements on the part of Musharraf confirmed all allegations against Pakistan and Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan. There was no point in interrogating Dr. Khan. Instead, Dr. Khan’s speaking and interrogation could expose Musharraf as a traitor and collaborator. So the best solution was to silence Dr. Khan, giving the impression that Musharraf is defending him as a patriot Pakistani.
For Musharraf’s handlers, it was absolutely impossible to imagine replacing him with another General without a transition to a different ruling mechanism. The only possibility for sustaining military rule was to assassinate General Musharraf and spread instability and chaos, which would pave the way for another General to continue the work for his CIA-Mossad and Neocons masters. However, that was also not a favourable option in the face of US tall claims for supporting democracy. Therefore, the US officially started pushing carefully worded articles in the corporate US media that Musharraf has done a great job but there is a need to make progress on the front of democracy.
Former State Department officials Richard L. Armitage and Kara L. Bue, signalled the shift in US policy with a joint article, outlining: ‘We believe General Musharraf…deserves our attention and support, no matter how frustrated we become at the pace of political change and the failure to eliminate Taliban fighters on the Afghan border.’ Translation: Musharraf has to go.
This was followed by a number of articles and reports from the US think tanks which started complaining and identifying short comings in the Mush’s war on Pakistan, called Pakistan’s own war by the new regime in Islamabad. On the one hand, plans were chalked out with Musharraf for the kind of successor regime which will not prosecute him for war crimes and the crime against constitution and his nation, and on the other senior US State Department officials repeatedly accused Musharraf of ‘not doing enough’ to combat Islamists within Pakistan and prevent their infiltration across the Durand Line into southern Afghanistan. This double game gave the impression as if his masters are not satisfied with his life-long services. The same perception was pushed by the ISI through its mouth-pieces in Pakistani media, such as A
hmed Qureshi and his new lackey ZZ Hamid. Here we were witnessing an attempt to giving Musharraf a hero status; presenting him a victim of the US intervention as well as “destroyer of the US foreign policy” rather than a criminal who must be charged and punished for treason.
Benazir was the first and favourite pick by the warlords in Washington. She was contacted and subsequently she started issuing statements that if she were to become Prime Minister, she would gladly do their bidding. She underscored her enthusiasm to serve and ensured her party was fully responsive to the nihilists’ “war on terror,” a war on the alleged nuclear proliferation by Pakistan and a war for consolidating occupation Behind the door the future course of action was chalked out both with Benazir and Musharraf. Both of them even met a few times in secret. In public meetings were organized with the PPP thieves in exile.
Partners in crime: Same masters, different slaves
The US Democratic Party’s National Democratic Institute (NDI) played a role in keeping the PPP top criminals on board. They had a briefing in Dubai on June 9, 2007 about the possible elections in Pakistan. On the other hand, Hussain Haqqani and Rehamn malik were groomed who had to take the charge after Musharraf departure and had to sustain the policies and war on Pakistan.
Although Benazir promised to offer the International Atomic Energy Agency access to Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan but this is not something on which Musharraf dragged his feet. This flies in the face of the reality on the ground. In fact, Musharraf had committed so many crimes against the nation that there he could not afford the proverbial last straw on the back of his sick and overloaded camel. His masters had realized that as well.
Similarly, Benazir promised to allow the occupation forces in Afghanistan to operate inside north-western Pakistan. But this was not something new. Mush had agreed to it long before her. The only difference is that he could not publicly say so. Instead he chose to shoulder the crime of the US occupation soldiers. He accepted responsibility for the US butchery in which 80 student were killed in Bajaur in 2006, whereas the evidence suggested the US carried out the attack. Musharraf taking the blame for this terrorist strike was in a way serving agenda of the US warlords as well because people were turning against the army as it was accepting responsibility for the US crimes against humanity.
So, the colonial warlords in the US and UK planned Benazir’s return from exile in full support and agreement of the most-favoured-slave, General Musharraf. At home, the ISI mouth pieces would tell the nation that this was done by arm-twisting Musharraf to promulgate the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). Instead of undermining the Supreme Court, booting out 60 judges and making a mockery of the Constitution, Mush could step aside and provide a fair election to take place. Instead, the retired general granted amnesty to the criminals and those whom he called as fascists in his book. He effectively wiped the slate clean of corruption, murder, drug running and other charges for Benazir, her husband Asif Zardari and all the thieves who were thriving under them.
There are factors which could go against the neo-colonialist plan for Pakistan in the case of Benazir’s victory and coming to joint power with Musharraf. It would not have been as easy to dislodge Benazir if she had come to power. Also she knew more about the way the fiction of al-Qaeda was being pushed around by the CIA and Musharraf. On the other hand pressure on Musharraf intensified to resign. To make the job easy for a more subservient regime and to give chaos and instability a further chance, Benazir was eliminated according to a plan that Mush and Rehman Malik knew about for sure. The evidence available in public domain confirms this collusion.
Haqqani-Mush, same masters, same approach, same lies, same agenda
There was no ploy to lull Musharraf into believing it would not remove him and install Benazir in his place. Mush was part and parcel of the plan. He was only interested in avoiding treason charged and trial in the Supreme Court. The crime he committed against Pakistan can hardly deserve mercy or pardon. He had to let other criminals take his place, so that they could let him live in peace after. That is exactly what we see today. Removing of an independent supreme court favours both Zardari and his mafia, as it helps Mush and his accomplices in crimes against the nation. That’s why Musharraf’s attitude towards Nawaz Sharif was totally different than the way he was welcoming Benazir and her criminal gang. Nawaz Sharif was sent back to Saudi Arabia when he tried to return. Later on he was allowed to return so that his party’s participation could to add some legitimacy to the sham election process which 38 parties refused to participate. Nawaz’s participation provided that much needed legitimacy to the final act on the plan to replace Musharraf with a pro-Mush and pro-US puppet regime.
Musharraf was and remains a lynch pin in the US totalitarian designs for the region in which occupying, pacifying, denuclearizing and blakanizing Pakistan is the top most priority. Musharraf is not an equivalent of Sukarno of Indonesia, Mosaddeq of Iran or Allende of Chille. He is the first commander in chief of Pakistan who acted like Ahmed Chalabi of Iraq, Najeebullah and Karzai of Afghanistan. Musharraf is the first Qadiani king of Pakistan. His association with Qadianis, his wife being a Qadiani, the Qadianis around him and Qadianis hatred for Pakistan and their unflinching determination to undermine the very existence of Pakistan are open secrets. Rehman Malik is another Qadiani put in place to serve the enemies of Pakistan. Musharraf was not a national leader which the ISI and ISPR puppets like ZZ Hamid and Ahmed Qureshi never stop promoting him as such. When gullible Pakistani listen to their passionate criticism of Zionist and the CIA plans for Pakistan, they fail to identify the pro-Mush and pro-mercenary-Generals-lies which they mix up with the facts.
Of course, Pakistan was not acceptable to India from one and the CIA used it for its strategic interests since 60s in particular. The Zionist designs are a fact which intensified since Pakistan’s embarking on the course to become a nuclear power. The military generals intensified Zionist influence in Pakistan. General Musharraf broke all previous records.
The colonial designs for the region are centuries old and even the creation of Pakistan was a strategic withdrawal rather than genuine independence. However, the point is, who is facilitating de facto colonization? Coming on talk shows and putting Zionists and the CIA on the chopping black every week is not a solution. The solution lies in identifying the black sheep within Pakistan. But these puppets of the ISI would never say a single word about the crime of IS such as handing over and selling hundreds of Pakistani, Afghans and other Muslims to the torture centres in Afghanistan and Cuba. They won’t talk about the army’s mercenary role and it’s destroying towns after towns in the US war of terrorism. They would criticise Zardari’s regime but they won’t say who started working on this agenda, facilitated it all along and why.
Instead they would prefer to lie to the nation and present Musharraf as a victim who stood up to Washington like Hugo Chavez. This is not correct and goes in the face of facts before our eyes. They follow the same propaganda of the warlords when they justify Pakistan army’s mercenary role. How else would one justify the massacre upon massacre of innocent Pakistanis unless they borrow themes from the corporate media that justifies these crimes by the Pakistani army. ZZ Hamid was leading the pack of those two-penny pen-pushers who gave Musharraf a hero status after his bloody drama in the heart of Islamabad.
The main theme of the ISPR mouth-pieces in their defence of Musharraf and Pakistan army is criticism of those who challenge Musharraf’s policies and the army’s mercenary role, which has caused Pakistan to lose far more soldiers than the occupiers in Afghanistan. Their criticism spread to include human rights and civil liberties organisations, journalists, analysts, lawyers and assorted professionals, who point out the crimes of Musharraf regime, from selling Pakistanis to the mysterious disappearances, invasion and occupation of parts of Pakistan, staging fake terrorist attacks and other bloody dramas to justify their importance and all other human rights violations. The only argument they have is that general public is incapable to comprehend the geo-strategic context in which Musharraf manoeuvred to defend Pakistan’s interest. This means people are blind. They don’t see or understand the facts they live on daily basis.
So they slandered them an ‘American puppets’, working for neocons and Zionists. These baseless allegations cannot turn their fiction about the glory or Musharraf and greatness of Pakistan army into reality. Contrary to claims made of BrasTack and other outfits, Musharraf did not remove one excuse for the Bush Administration to ‘bomb Pakistan into stone age.’ With years-long effective participation in propaganda of creeping Talibanization and regurgitating the myths about the CIA-bogey-man al-ka-eeda, Musharraf, in fact, paved the way for what Obama now claims the US needs to invade. Armymen will attack the dictator. Army men will be charged and hanged for that attack. Yet Mush and his team will propagate the lie that al-Qaeda is in action and wants to take out the strongest ally of the US in the ‘war on terrorism.” All these lies and deceptions to keep himself a valuable ally, led to the toughest time Pakistan has yet to endure.
The puppets of ISI claim that the US got upset with Musharraf’s regime when he dodged committing Pakistani troops to prop up the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. In fact, even if Musharraf wanted to do so, he simply could not. Turkey had refused to join the US in such a war before Pakistan. We have mentioned all the relevant facts in this regard in another article that you can see here. This is what Musharraf could not do despite his earnest desire to make himself an even more committed slave. No credit is due to Musharraf for that.
Another fake feather that the ISI-outfits are trying to fit in Musharraf’s hat is their claim that he refused to isolate Iran. What a joke. None of the US closest allies have isolated Iran so far as such. They are all the biggest importers of Iranian oil. What is Pakistan’s leverage to isolating Iran. The energy cooperation with Iran is as much in the benefit of Pakistan as Iran and India. It would have proven Musharraf totally insane if he had refused to move ahead on building the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline. Since India was part of the deal, there is no way we can say there was stiff American opposition to it.
Moreover, the US was hardly moved by the Pakistan’s historical relationship with China. Musharraf didn’t do anything unusual in deepening Pakistan-China bilateral relations or forging nuclear cooperation. Did we get anything on the civil nuclear front from china which India got from the US. Of course, not. Musharraf did make any special move to offer Beijing naval facilities at the Gwadar port on Balochistan’s Arabian Sea coast overlooking the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic chokepoint through which passes approximately 30 per cent of world’s energy supplies. Musharraf has opened all Pakistani facilities, both military and non-military, both on shore and off-shore and on the ground are wide open to use and abuse by the US and NATO forces. The mere “offer” to China to use Gwadar port is yet another joke on the part of ISI-puppets to propagate is as a rebellion against his masters in the US. Gawadar port is as open to China as to any other country for the sake of legitimate transportation. This cannot even be compared with allowing the use of Pakistan as a launching pad for aggression in the region and renting the whole army to be used as a mercenary force.
Yet another fake reason for promoting and defending Musharraf is Pakistan’s status as a mere observer in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). Russia and China are spearheading the SCO, which includes four other countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Iran and India are also Observers. So what if Pakistan became a third one. Of course, the SCO is widely perceived as a rising eastern counterweight to western security and economic groupings. However, those who had Musharraf as well as Pakistan’s strings in their hands were hardly concerned with and Islamabad sitting as an observer at the SCO. This is a non-issue.
The lies go on and on. It is also being propagated that angered Washington the most when he took actions to wind down the ‘war on terror’ within Pakistan. Where is the evidence for this? Instead he intensified military operations in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan. Musharraf did not allow the mediation and negotiation process with the tribal leaders to take roots. Pakistan army would violate the peace treaties and the US would attack tribal areas as soon as there is an agreement in sight. Moreover, some treaties with the tribal elders were part of the divide and rule approach. Most of the dollars from the US were spent in widening these divisions. There is a consistent pattern of violations on the part of Pakistani army and terrorist strikes from outside in full understanding with Musharraf regime. The ISI went to the extent of killing journalists (Hayatullah Khan) when they would expose the terrorist attacks by the US forces.
To further support the divisions among Muslims on the larger scale, Musharraf promoted the mantra of ‘enlightened moderation’, which was nothing but a show of benighted opportunism and serving colonial masters. He took stabs at the very soul of Pakistan with attempts to promote Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s legacy. He proudly held up Ataturk as his role model. He planned to ‘wean away’ the people from the original concept and two nation theory of Pakistan. He in fact undermined the raison d’être of Pakistan and the cause of Kashimis struggle of independence. Towards this end, he introduced educational reforms and re-wrote school history text books; enacted laws and diluted Islamic identity of Pakistan. This is exactly the same approach that other Zionist agents, such as Hussain Haqqani have under taken. At times it seemed as if people like Haqqani and Musharraf were in competition to prove as to who is the best slave in promoting divisions among Muslims and intensifying a ‘war within Islam.”
It is absolutely impossible that Musharraf would be skilfully combining military operations against “Islamists” with a political front promoting secularism to ideologically disarm them, and still the US administration would see read. The warlords in the US knew that secularising Pakistani society is not something that is possible in one Musharraf tenure in power. In fact, he had two stints in power with his eight years rule. It is not the thought that Musharraf would de-fang the ‘Islamic threat’ within Pakistan and extricate the country out of the contrived orbit of ‘war on terror’ which led to the removal of Musharraf from power. It is the simple fact that Musharraf simply could not continue as an army chief and he could not survive the growing opposition to his rule. He simple could not make more progress on the agenda on which he worked with so much commitment for years. The thing to treasure and save was not Musharraf. It was continuation of the agenda on which he was working. Musharraf had done his job. He outlived his utility in the sense that people were totally fed up and he simple could not survive with brutal force forever to come.
The warlords in Washington, Tel Aviv and London realized that with Musharraf in power, they would not be in a position to effectively soften up Pakistan before the final onslaught. Musharraf stay would greatly diminish Washington’s leverage to intervene in the country, to further weaken its armed forces, to sow chaos and civil war and to finally neutralize its nuclear power and Balkanize the country to end the perceived threat of Islamic revival forever.
This realization pushed the colonial warlords into planning a regime change that would sustain the gains Musharraf had secured for them. Despite being part of the planning process to sustain his gain through another puppet regime after him, Musharraf did try his best to prolong his rule but all his late illegal and criminal actions back fired. His supporters at BrassTack and Ahmedqureshi.com are trying their best to show that the CIA showered dollars on the media, NGOs, lawyers and students to mobilize agitations against Musharraf. However, these claims are hardly supported by any evidence. And this is rather an insult to the millions who participated in the struggle and still try to achieve their objectives because removal of Musharraf is not the end in itself. It was perceived to facilitate restoration of independent judiciary and establishment of a rule of law which will further ensure the release of all the disappeared people and an end ot the mercenary armies butchery of its own people. Fake promises of Zardari and hope upon hope are still holding the tides that swept Musharraf, but the tides won’t be contained for long. That will be the time when the self-proclaimed security analysts and would see that the resistance to illegal and illegitimate ruler is not because of the CIA dollars but an indigenous resistance to tyranny and abuse of power.
Of course, the new mercenary Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani travelled to Kabul to meet NATO and Afghan commanders on August the 19th and about 10 days later Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen informed a Pentagon news conference on August the 28th that Kayani and his lieutenants held a ’secret meeting’ with their US counterparts on a US aircraft carrier. However, this has nothing to do with something that would never have happened if Musharraf was in power. Who brought Kayani to the fore-front in the first place? Who ran Musharraf secret detentions and selling of Pakistanis as the chief of ISI? It was no one but Kayani.
Kayani’s meeting with the US officials after the departure of Musharraf has nothing to prove that Mush was loyal to Pakistan and Kiyani is not. Both are buddies in crime. When Negroponte visited Pakistan the year before Musharraf’s resignation, he met Kayani twice in three days. So there is nothing new about Kiyani’s subservience or Musharraf’s departure. It is quite logical that the warlords had to put things in order through close and frequent meetings as things were evolving after Musharraf. Those meetings are not an indication that Musharraf was not on a tight leash or didn’t stab the soul of Pakistan.
For the recent progress in the war of terrorism, credit goes to Musharraf’s years long service and particularly his commitment to promoting the neocons-zionist cause over the past eight years. The aggressors’ frog-marching Pakistan into the US-created Afghan quagmire to further destabilise the country and justify intervention would not have been possible if Mush had not sold himself too early. If he had led to an impartial transition of government at the top and not allowed the criminal thugs to take cover of the NRO and a PCO supreme court, the nation wouldn’t be standing where it is today.
Musharraf facilitated what we face today. He rejected US demands that the Pakistani army assist NATO forces in Afghanistan because he knew his own troops will rebel against him. He could not afford sending Pashtun soldiers lead the war of terror in Pakistan, let alone sending them to facilitate occupation of Afghanistan. He had to remove the core-commander in Peshawar and governor in NWFP because of their criticism of the approach Mush was dictating to them. Of course, this is what the US wanted but Musharraf knew this would be suicidal. For that reason, even Zardari and Kayani would not accept such demands. Instead, Mush and his successors are fighting the most important fight on Pakistani soil, which is dividing the nation, draining on its resources, creating more and more “terrorists” and ultimately softening up the high value target. To Mush’s masters this war is more important than participation in the occupation of Afghanistan, where they love to see the pot boiling rather than the opposition totally pacified that will take the ruse for sustaining the brutal occupation.
It would be better for the ISI and ISPR to stop regurgitating the lies and deceptions and promoting Mush as the saviour of the nation through its mouth pieces, and condemning all those who expose his crimes against the people, the constitution and the polity of Pakistan. This is time to get united against all culprits and traitors, whether they existed before and with Musharraf or those who are thriving today with the blessing of NRO and other unconstitutional measures of the tyrant. It is time to bring Mush. Zardari Rehman Malik, Haqqani and their cronies to justice. If we failed to do justice today, nature will settle the scores but that will take the nation through a lot of turmoil, civil war and a bloody revolution which is already in progress. The ISI sponsored lies are hardly able to make a dent when the facts are overwhelmingly aligned against them.
@Arif,
some other informations about Musharraf is new in
your very long comments and about international
conspiracy against Pakistan, you talk about Batilans
