	Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zia ul-Haq's image of yet another military dictator transformed overnight into a leader of the free world in the East.
		However, after it became clear that Bhutto's popularity had survived his government, Zia postponed the elections and began criminal investigations of the senior PPP leadership.
		With Benazir Bhutto back in the country and his popularity at an all time low, Zia was trapped in the most difficult situation of his political life.

	ZIA UL-HAQ AND MILITARY DOMINATION, 1977-88
		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 cancelled 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.

	Pakistan Army - Report - Zia-ul-Haq Place Crash
		Zia, charged Moscow, was not only continuing to arm the Afghan Mujahideen in blatant disregard of the agreement but directing a sabotage campaign in Kabul.
		The United States too was unhappy with Zia for diverting a good deal of aid and weapons to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar whom the US considered an anti-American extremist.
		The theory that it was revenge against the killing of a Shi'a cleric in Peshawar - the pilots of both Zia's plane and the standby C-130 were of the Shi'a faith - was abandoned after a couple of months during which Flt.

	National Review: Death of a friend. (Mohammed Zia ul-Haq) @ HighBeam Research
		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.
		Surely Zia never imagined that he, along with much of his army command and the U.S. ambassador, would be--or so it now appears--victims of the Soviet-directed bombing campaign.
		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.

	Pakistan Zia Ul-Haq
		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.
		Zia remained president, and the amended constitution, including the controversial Eighth Amendment passed by the National Assembly in November 1985, gave predominant political authority to the president.
		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.

	Pakistani Defence Forum -> Why Was President Zia -ul -haq Killed
		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.
		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 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.
		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.

	The Assassination of General Zia
		In any case, with Zia death, the U.S. could foresee an amenably alternative: the replacement of the Zia dictatorship, with all its cold war intrigues, with an elected government head by the attractive Harvard-educated Benazir Bhutto.
		Zia was, as far she was concerned, the incarnation of evil.
		Zia had offended Moscow to such a degree that it had declared publicly, only a week before the crash, that Zia's "obstructionist policy cannot be tolerated".

		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.
		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 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.

		It was Article 58(2)(b) which was used by Zia to dismiss prime minister Mohammed Khan Junejo in 1988, by president Ghulam Ishaq Khan to dismiss the governments of prime ministers Benazir Bhutto (1991) and Nawaz Sharif (1993) and by President Farooq Leghari to remove Bhutto yet again (1996).
		Amendments made to it by Zia, Nawaz Sharif and now by Musharraf might have mangled it out of shape, but somehow it is that one single document which remains at the center of political debate in Pakistan.
		The answer to the question why Musharraf has mangled the Constitution back to the Zia days — adding, for good measure, the NSC to ensure irreversibility of his constitutional engineering — is quite clear.

		Zia had been in power long enough and was in real authority.
		The despatch of the award was held up by his successor Benazir Bhutto, who blamed Desai for not intervening to save her father from the gallows.

	Musharraf has simply reversed Zia-ul-Haq’s strategy for political survival
		Zia’s primary objective, however, was to consolidate personalised rule and the military’s dominance.
		General Zia projected himself as a pious man and secured the support of the ultra-religious segment of the Pakistani population.
		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.

		I came back to my office and telephoned the lieutenant colonel in the Adjutant General's Branch who would deal with the case and explained that I was commanding the regiment and that the recommendation had been made without consulting me and I was against extensions because they affected the next persons in line for promotion.
		I waited in Colonel Zia's office, after some time Colonel Zia went out of the office and came back and informed me that the general had gone.
		I was told later that even at the railway station they expected their extension order would arrive, none did and very reluctantly they boarded the train to retirement.
