	Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zia was stationed in Jordan from 1967 to 1970, helping in the training of Jordanian soldiers.
		Zia ul-Haq's image of yet another military dictator transformed overnight into a leader of the free world in the East.
		Zia did not live long enough to see the Soviets withdraw from Afghanistan; but the Soviet invasion (what he described as Brezhnev's Christmas Present) did wonders for his image abroad.

		Zia canceled the elections because, he said, it was his responsibility first to carry out a program of "accountability"; he had "unexpectedly" found "irregularities" in the previous regime.
		Zia also began a process for the eventual Islamization of the financial system aimed at "eliminating that which is forbidden and establishing that which is enjoined by Islam." Of special concern to Zia was the Islamic prohibition on interest or riba (sometimes translated as usury) (see Monetary Process, ch.
		Zia interpreted the positive results (98 percent voting "yes") to mean that he had received the right to a new five-year term as head of state.

		Zia understood Soviet aspirations and probably gave his life in the fight he undertook--to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan and to keep that country, and his own, free from Soviet domination.
		Zia rejected this as "peanuts." Carter also signed the finding in 1980 that allowed less than $50 million a year to go to the mujahedin.
		President Zia entered the room and informed the ministers that he personally would lynch every one of them if they signed what he considered to be an unsatisfactory accord.

		Eighteen months later, Zia had usurped power from him and then committed "judicial murder," as she saw it, by allowing her father to be hanged like a common criminal on a trumped up charge.

		In this referendum, a "yes" vote agreeing with Zia's Islamization policy was also to be interpreted as a vote for Zia to remain in office as president for another five years.

		Zia's sudden death in a airplane crash in August 1988 near Bahawalpur, a town in central Punjab, left Pakistan without a president, prime minister, or national or provincial assemblies.

		Though Zia believed in a much more stronger role of Islam in our society, in terms of our laws, social, and economic policy he was no where close to believing in the Talibans interpretation of Islam as most people who oppose him try to link him to (mostly secularists, PPP, and other groups).
		Zia and the ISI were fully aware of these problems, but chose to ignore these groups because it was felt that these people could easily be mopped up once things in Afghanistan were resolved.
		Zia and the ISI knew that dealing with these people with an iron fist which though was warranted was exactly what these people wanted and would create problems for us in diverting our resources.

		Zia had been meeting with top Sikh leaders, according to Gandhi, and providing guerrillas with AK-47 assault rifles, rocket launchers and sanctuary across the Pakistan border.
		It was explained to me at the Pentagon that the CIA had become concerned that Zia was diverting a large share of the weapons being supplied by America to an extreme fundamentalist Muejadeen group led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

		A military coup was nothing new to Pakistan, as the previous General ruler, Zia ul-Haq led a military coup against Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and became president in 1978.
		Zia ul-Haq also made strong efforts with other Muslim nations to bring an end to the long war between Iran and Iraq, and it was also he who fought a war by proxy in Afghanistan and saved Pakistan from a direct war with Soviet Union.
		Zia ul-Haq's time in office proved to be a turning point in the history of Pakistan, as it was he who introduced a fundamentalist Islamic regime and restricted political activity.

		Several of General Zia-ul Haq's associates and some observers have gone to elaborate at lengths to prove his decision to remove Bhutto from power and impose martial law was not pre-meditated.
		Zia-ul Haq also misled Bhutto by telling him that the military would accept the breaking of his stalemate with the PNA by Bhutto's holding a referendum even though his senior commanders had insisted on resolving the deadlock through fresh elections.
		Zia-ul Haq also alleged later that the coup had been necessitated by the prospect of civil war and that Bhutto had been planning to distribute weapons to his supporters.

		Zia’s primary objective, however, was to consolidate personalised rule and the military’s dominance.
		Just as Islam pasands (Islam lovers) under Zia failed to see his repression and the future problems emanating from his support of Jihadism, some Pakistani ‘‘optimists’’ appear to ignore Musharraf’s pursuit of manipulative politics aimed at keeping GHQ and ISI ascendant.
