Zia ul haq urdu speech on allama

I knew the feelings of the people at large also. Many thought I was throwing them back to the wolves and that, once again, there would be no respect for law, that corruption and jockeying for power would return, with all the other ugly features of our political life in the past…. Nevertheless, I came to the conclusion that it was better to take the risk, even if all our reforms had not yet taken root, and to let the people carry on from that point… There are no less than four types of people who are mentioned in this telling paragraph, a democratic people abroad who nonetheless desire the order of martial law in Pakistan, the people at home who warn him against his excesses, those at large who expect the worst of him and his leadership, and then there are the people with a capital P who will sally forth once he has put in place the conditions for their emergence.

In each instance, a different self springs forth over which he has no control, the social engineering dictator, the one who is part of a vast rumor mill, the one who is intuitively in touch with the people at large, and then the one who will hopefully serve as the subject of future testimonials. The country has chosen stability against chaos, security against disintegration, progress against stagnation.

Yet his own multiplicities militate against such unity. Let us now turn to General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq who was the president and military ruler of Pakistan from till his death in He came to power through a coup against Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, becoming the third to impose martial law in Pakistan. He ruled as a military law dictator for a year before assuming the post of president of Pakistan in He fashioned himself as an Islamic leader and gave considerable place of importance to religious scholars in the administration of the country.

People think that that they have cracked a big joke by branding Radio Pakistan or Pakistan Television as a religious school which will be greeted by peels of laughter by others. But alas, these people are a joke themselves. They say what kind of people are they who have a grouse against the ban imposed in Pakistan on the performance of vulgar dances, on night clubs and dancing houses?

Lashes are administered for drinking. Films are properly pruned and edited before they are shown on television. The call for prayer reverberates from radio all the time.

Marbles Posted September 15, Zia ul Haq was a traitor of Pakistan, a betrayer of its people. Posted September 17, Marbles Posted September 17, Posted September 17, edited. UMG Posted September 17, My grandfather was Brigadier under Zia. He called him "Yazeed ki aulad". Noah- Posted September 17, Satyam Posted September 17, It was none other that Zia ul Haq.

So much for the Palestinian cause. Mohtaat Posted September 17, Posted September 20, Zia did not trust the civilian institutions and legislators to ensure the country's integrity and sovereignty [ 28 ] [ page needed ] therefore, in October , he announced the postponement of the electoral plan and decided to start an accountability process for the politicians.

The Political Wing also contacted the several right-wing Islamists and conservatives, promising an election, with PNA power-sharing the government with Zia. Zia successfully divided and separated the secular forces from right-wing Islamists and conservatives, and later purged each member of the secular front. A Disqualification Tribunal was formed, and several individuals who had been members of parliament were charged with malpractice and disqualified from participating in politics at any level for the next seven years.

It is reported by senior officers that when Zia met federal secretaries for the first time as leader of the country after martial law, he said that "He does not possess the charisma of Bhutto, personality of Ayub Khan or the legitimacy of Liaquat Ali Khan " thereby implying how can he be marketed. Nusrat Bhutto , the wife of the deposed Prime Minister, filed a suit against Zia's military regime , challenging the validity of the July military coup.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled, in what would later be known as the Doctrine of Necessity not to be confused with the doctrine of necessity that, given the dangerously unstable political situation of the time, Zia's overthrowing of the Bhutto government was legal on the grounds of necessity. The judgement tightened the general's hold on the government.

When Bhutto appeared personally to argue his appeal in the supreme court, he almost affirmed his concurrence with the judges present for not letting off a judgement without imposing some conditions on ruling military government. Former elected Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was arrested during the coup but released shortly afterwards.

Upon his release, Bhutto travelled the country amid adulatory crowds of PPP supporters. On 3 September , he was arrested again by the Army on charges of authorising the murder of a political opponent in March The trial proceedings began 24 October and lasted five months. On 18 March , Bhutto was declared guilty of murder and was sentenced to death.

In the words of Aftab Kazie and Roedad Khan , Zia hated Bhutto and had used inappropriate language and insults to describe Bhutto and his colleagues. The hanging of an elected prime minister by a military dictator was condemned by the international community and by lawyers and jurists across Pakistan. The Ad hoc appointments of senior justices at the Supreme Court of Pakistan was one of the earliest and major steps were taken out by the military government under General Zia-ul-Haq.

The objection was over-ruled by the Chief Justice Anwarul Haq, and the case of Bhutto was again heard by the Chief Justice Anwar-ul-Haq as the bench's lead judge, and presided the whole case of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto while forcing the martial law throughout Pakistan. The Zia regime largely made use of installing high-profile military generals to carte blanche provincial administration under martial law.

Lieutenant-General Fazle Haque was considered a strong vocal General and a strong man. General Haque was the commander of the XI Corps , and commanding-general officer of the Army elements responsible for fighting a secret war against Soviet Union. The second appointment was of Lieutenant-General S. Abbasi who was appointed Martial Law Administrator of Sindh Province ; his tenure too saw civil disorder amid student riots.

Perhaps most crucially, final and fourth martial law administrator appointment was then-Lieutenant-General Rahimuddin Khan. Lieutenant-General Rahimuddin Khan was appointed to the post of Martial Law Administrator of Balochistan Province saw the disbanding of the Baloch insurgency , the containment of Afghan mujahidin, as well as the construction of nuclear test sites in the Chagai District.

Zia's tenure saw the influx of heroin, sophisticated weaponry, and countless refugees in from neighbouring Afghanistan. Law and order deterioration was worse after he appointed Mr. Junejo as Prime minister in Zia benefited from the extremely capable martial law administrators who previously had worked with the military governments of former president Yahya Khan and Ayub Khan in the s.

Both Admiral Sharif and General Arif handled the matters efficiently if the matters were out of control by Zia. Despite the dismissal of most of the Bhutto government, president Fazal Ilahi Chaudhry was persuaded to continue in office as a figurehead. Although ostensibly only holding office until free elections could be held, General Zia, like the previous military governments, disapproved of the lack of discipline and orderliness that often accompanies multiparty " parliamentary democracy.

His first replacement for the parliament or National Assembly was a Majlis-e-Shoora , or "consultative council. Zia's parliament and his military government reflect the idea of "military-bureaucratic technocracy" MBT where professionals, engineers, and high-profile military officers were initially part of his military government. His antipathy for the politicians led the promotion of bureaucratic-technocracy which was seen a strong weapon of countering the politicians and their political strongholds.

Senior statesman and technocrats were included physicist-turned diplomat Agha Shahi , jurist Sharifuddin Perzada , corporate leader Nawaz Sharif , economist Mahbub ul Haq , and senior statesman Aftab Kazie , Roedad Khan , and chemist-turned diplomat Ghulam Ishaq Khan were a few of the leading technocratic figures in his military government. After Bhutto's execution, momentum to hold elections began to mount both internationally and within Pakistan.

But before handing over power to elected representatives, Zia-ul-Haq attempted to secure his position as the head of state. A referendum was held on 19 December with the option being to elect or reject the General as the future President, the wording of the referendum making a vote against Zia appear to be a vote against Islam. After holding the referendum , Zia succumbed to international pressure and gave permission to election commission to hold national wide general elections but without political parties in February Critics complained that ethnic and sectarian mobilisation filled the void left by banning political parties or making elections "non-partisan" , to the detriment of national integration.

The General worked to give himself the power to dismiss the Prime Minister dissolve the National Assembly, appoint provincial governors and the chief of the armed forces. His prime minister Muhammad Khan Junejo was known as an unassuming and soft-spoken Sindhi. Before handing over the power to the new government and lifting the martial law, Zia got the new legislature to retroactively accept all of Zia's actions of the past eight years, including his coup of He also managed to get several amendments passed, most notably the Eighth Amendment , which granted " reserve power s" to the president to dissolve the Parliament.

However, this amendment considerably reduced the power he'd previously granted himself to dissolve the legislature, at least on paper. The text of the amendment permitted Zia to dissolve the Parliament only if the government had been toppled by a vote of no confidence and it was obvious that no one could form a government or the government could not function in a constitutional manner.

In general Zia gave economic development and policy a fairly low priority aside from Islamization and delegating its management to technocrats such as Ghulam Ishaq Khan, Aftab Qazi and Vaseem Jaffrey. By the time General Zia had initiated the coup against Prime Minister Zulfikar Bhutto , the economic cycle process of nationalisation program was completed.

The socialist orientation and nationalisation program was slowly reversed; the idea of corporatisation was heavily favoured by President Zia-ul-Haq to direct the authoritarianism in the nationalised industries. One of his well-known and earliest initiatives were aimed to Islamize the national economy which featured the Interest-free economic cycle.

No actions towards privatising the industries were ordered by President Zia; only three steel mill industries were returned to its previous owners. By the end of , the finance ministry had begun studying the process of engaging the gradual privatisation and economic liberalisation. The United States, notably the Ronald Reagan administration , was an ardent supporter of Zia's military regime and a close ally of Pakistan's conservative-leaning ruling military establishment.

Wassom, had been long associated with the Zia military regime where they had made frequent trips to Pakistan advising on expanding the idea of establishment in the political circle of Pakistan. The socialist orientation had greatly alarmed the capitalist forces in Pakistan and alarmed the United States who feared the loss of Pakistan as an ally in the cold war.

During Bhutto's five years in Pakistan's helm, Bhutto had retained an emotional hold on the poor masses who had voted him overwhelmingly in s general elections. At the same time, however, Bhutto had many enemies. The socialist economics and nationalization of major private industries during his first two years on office had badly upsets the Business circles An ill-considered decision to take over the wheat-milling, rice-husking, sugar mills, and cotton-gaining, industries in July of had angered the small business owners and traders.

Both leftists—socialists and communists, intellectuals, students, and trade unionists—felt betrayed by Bhutto's shift to centre-right wing conservative economics policies and by his growing collaboration with powerful feudal lords, Pakistan's traditional power brokers. After , Bhutto's aggressive authoritarian personal style and often high-handed way of dealing with political rivals, dissidents, and opponents had also alienated many On 25 December , the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

Following this invasion, Zia chaired a meeting and was asked by several cabinet members to refrain from interfering in the war, owing to the vastly superior military power of the USSR. Zia, however, was ideologically opposed to the idea of communism taking over a neighbouring country, supported by the fear of Soviet advancement into Pakistan, particularly Balochistan, in search of warm waters, and made no secret about his intentions of monetarily and militarily aiding the Afghan resistance the Mujahidin with major assistance from the United States.

Andropov expressed indignation over Pakistan's support of the Afghan resistance against the Soviet Union and its satellite state, Socialist Afghanistan. Zia took his hand and assured him, "General Secretary, believe me, Pakistan wants nothing but very good relations with the Soviet Union". Zia reversed many of Bhutto's foreign policy initiatives by first establishing stronger links with the United States, Japan, and the Western world.

Zia broken off relations with the Socialist state and State capitalism became his major economic policy. Wilson claims that Zia remarked to him: "Just don't put any stars of David on the boxes". On 22 September , the Iraqi invasion of Iran initiated a nearly eight-year long war between Iran and Iraq. In an effort to end the war and maintain unity of the Islamic world , Zia visited Tehran on 27 September and Baghdad on 29 September.

Despite declaring neutrality, Zia maintained close relations with Iran and Pakistan sold weapons to Iran , which proved to be a main factor for the Iranian victory in the Tanker War. One of the earliest initiatives taken by Zia in , was to militarize the integrated atomic energy program which was founded by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Mubashir Hassan , who was heading the civilian committee that supervised the construction of the facilities and laboratories.

Abdul Qadeer Khan leading their efforts separately and reported to Bhutto and his science adviser Dr. Hassan who had little interest in the atomic bomb project. This whole giant nuclear energy project was transferred into the administrative hands of Major-General Akbar who was soon made the Lieutenant-General and Engineer-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army Corps of Engineers to deal with the authorities whose co-operation was required.

Akbar consolidated the entire project by placing the scientific research under military control, setting boundaries and goals. Akbar proved to be an extremely capable officer in the matters of science and technology when he aggressively led the development of nuclear weapons under Munir Ahmad Khan and Abdul Qadeer Khan in a matter of five years.

He became the first engineering officer to have acknowledge Zia about the success of this energy project into a fully matured program. On the recommendation of Akbar, Zia approved the appointment of Munir Ahmad Khan as the scientific director of the atomic bomb project, as Zia was convinced by Akbar that civilian scientists under Munir Khan's directorship were at their best to counter international pressure.

This was proved when the PAEC conducted the cold-fission test of a fission device, codename Kirana-I on 11 March at the Weapon-Testing Laboratories-I , under the leadership of weapon-testing laboratory's director Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad. The PAEC responded by conducting several cold-tests throughout the s, a policy also continued by Benazir Bhutto in the s.

According to the reference in the book, " Eating Grass ", Zia was so deeply convinced of the infiltration of Western and American moles and spies into the project, that he extended his role in the atomic bomb, which reflected extreme " paranoia ", in both his personal and professional life. He virtually had PAEC and KRL separated from each other and made critical administrative decisions rather than putting scientists in charge of the aspects of the atomic programs.

Unlike Bhutto, who faced rogue criticism and a heated diplomatic war with the United States throughout the s, Zia took different diplomatic approaches to counter the international pressure. Either General Zia did not know the facts about country's atomic bomb project Or General Zia was the "most superb and patriotic liar I have ever met Following the success of Operation Opera — in which an Israeli Air Force strike took place to destroy the Iraqi nuclear program in — suspicion grew in Pakistan that the Indian Air Force had similar plans for Pakistan.

At Vienna, Munir Ahmad Khan met with Indian physicist Raja Ramanna and notified him that such an attack would provoke a nuclear war between the two countries. Shamim launched Operation Sentinel - a counter operation that thwarted the Israeli Air Force attempt to sabotage Pakistan's nuclear energy project—forced Indian Premier Indira Gandhi to hold talks with Pakistan on nuclear issues and directed a high delegation to Pakistan where both countries pledged not to assist or attack each other's facilities.

In , following the induction of the F Falcons and A-5 Fantons, Shamim commissioned the Air Force Strategic Command to protect and battle the weapons of mass destruction. In , Zia ultimately adopted the policy of " nuclear opacity " to deliberately deny the atomic bomb programs. This policy of nuclear ambiguity was adopted after witnessing the success of Israel's nuclear program and on multiple occasions Zia broke his words and promises concerning the nature of the country's atomic bomb project.

On nuclear policy issues, Zia deliberately misguided the United States and concealed classified information from the outside world. Confronted with the evidence, Zia acknowledged that the information "must be true," but then denied everything, leading Walters to conclude that: "either Zia "did not know the facts" or was the "most superb and patriotic liar I have ever met Soon after the coup, the clandestine nuclear energy project was no longer a secret to the outside world.

Part of his strategy was the promotion of nuclear proliferation in anti-western states such as North Korea , Iran, and communist China to aid their own nuclear ambitions, to divert international attention which was difficult. In , Zia contracted with China when he sent weapon-grade uranium to China and also built the centrifuge laboratory which increasingly enhanced the Chinese nuclear program.

This act encouraged Abdul Qadeer Khan, who allegedly tried to aid the Libyan nuclear programme but because Libya—Pakistan relations were strained, Khan was warned of serious consequences. After Zia's death, his successor General Mirza Aslam Beg , as Chief of Army Staff, encouraged Abdul Qadeer Khan and gave him a free hand to work with some like-minded nations such as North Korea, Iran and Libya which also wanted to pursue their nuclear ambitions for a variety of reasons.

In , Abdul Khan's dismissal from the nuclear weapons program was considered a face saving exercise by the Pakistan Armed Forces and political establishment under the then Chief of Army Staff and President General Pervez Musharraf. In the s decade , North Korea would soon follow the same suit after it was targeted by the international community for its on-going nuclear program.

In the s decade , North Korea attempted to aid the Syrian and Iranian nuclear program in the s. Even though Zia had removed the Bhutto sentiment in the nuclear energy project, Zia did not completely disband Bhutto's policy on nuclear weapons. Soon, Zia promoted Khan as the technical director of the entire program as well as appointing Khan as his Science Adviser.

The rise of the illicit drug trade and its spread through Pakistan to the rest of the world increased tremendously during the Soviet-Afghan war. Afghanistan's drug industry began to take off after the Soviet invasion in Desperate for cash with which to buy weapons, various elements in the anti-Communist resistance turned to the drug trade.

This was tolerated if not condoned by their American sponsors such as the CIA. The "primary" policy or "centerpiece" of Zia's government was "Sharization" or "Islamization". In , before the coup, the drinking and selling of wine by Muslims, along with nightclubs, and horse racing was banned by Prime Minister Bhutto to stem the tide of street Islamization.

Pakistan which was created in the name of Islam will continue to survive only if it sticks to Islam. That is why I consider the introduction of [an] Islamic system as an essential prerequisite for the country. In the past, he complained, "Many a ruler did what they pleased in the name of Islam. Zia established "Sharia Benches" in each High Court later the Federal Sharia Court [ 28 ] [ page needed ] [ ] to judge legal cases using the teachings of the Quran and the Sunna, and to align Pakistan's legal statutes with Islamic doctrine.

Islamization was a sharp change from Bhutto's original philosophical rationale captured in the slogan, "Food, clothing, and shelter". In Zia's view, socialist economics and a secular-socialist orientation served only to upset Pakistan's natural order and weaken its moral fiber. The basis of Pakistan was Islam. Muslims of the subcontinent are a separate culture.

Bhutto's way of flourishing in this Society was by eroding its moral fiber. We are going back to Islam not by choice but by the force of circumstances. It is not I or my government that is imposing Islam. It was what 99 percent of people wanted; the street violence against Bhutto reflected the people's desire How much of Zia's motivation came from piety and how much from political calculation is disputed.

One author points out that Zia was conspicuously silent on the dispute between the heterodox Zikri and the 'Ulama in Balochistan where he needed stability. Therefore, General Zia insanely How much success Zia had using state-sponsored Islamization to strengthen national cohesion is also disputed. The measure called for a 2. Among Sunni Muslims, Deobandis and Barelvis also had disputes.

The Ordinance added new criminal offenses of adultery and fornication to Pakistani law, and new punishments of whipping , amputation , and stoning to death. For theft or robbery, the PPC punishments of imprisonment fine, or both, were replaced by amputation of the right hand of the offender for theft, and amputation of the right hand and left foot for robbery.

For Zina extramarital sex the provisions relating to adultery were replaced by the Ordinance with punishments of lashes for those unmarried offenders, and stoning to death for married offenders. All these punishments were dependent on the proof required for hadd being met. In practice, the Hudd requirement—four Muslim men of good repute testifying as witnesses to the crime—was seldom met.

As of , no offenders have been stoned or had limbs amputated by the Pakistani judicial system. More worrisome for human rights and women's rights advocates, lawyers, and politicians was the incarceration of thousands of rape victims on charges of Zina. Uncorroborated testimony by women was inadmissible in hudood crimes. Despite this, the ordinance remained in force until the Women's Protection Bill was passed in Although the Sharia punishments were imposed, the due process, witnesses, law of evidence, and prosecution system remained Anglo-Saxon.

The hybridization of Pakistan's penal code with Islamic laws was difficult because of the difference in the underlying logic of the two legal systems. Under Zia, the order for women to cover their heads while in public was implemented in public schools, colleges, and state television. Women's participation in sports and the performing arts was severely restricted.

Following Sharia law, women's legal testimony was given half the weight of a man's, according to critics [ clarification needed ]. In interest payments were replaced by "profit and loss" accounts though profit was thought to be simply interest by another name. Eating and drinking during Ramadan were outlawed, and attempts were made to enforce praying of salat five times a day.

The law prohibited derogatory remarks against Islamic personages and carried a three-year prison sentence. In declaring anything implying disrespect to the Islamic prophet Muhammad , Ahl al-Bayt family members of Muhammad , Sahabah companions of Muhammad or Sha'ar-i-Islam Islamic symbols was made a cognizable offense , punishable with imprisonment or fine, or both.

Traditional religious madrassas in Pakistan received state sponsorship for the first time, under General Zia-ul-Haq's administration, [ ] their number grew from to 2, Most were Deobandi in doctrinal orientation, while one-quarter of them were Barelvi. In a address to the nation, Zia decried the Western culture and music in the country. Soon afterward, PTV , the national television network ceased playing music videos and only patriotic songs were broadcast.

It was under Zia and the economic prosperity of his era that the country's urban middle and lower-middle-classes expanded and Western s fashion wear and hairstyle spread in popularity, and rock music bands gained momentum, according to leftist cultural critic Nadeem F. During his tenure, he oversaw the passing of an ordinance for the welfare of people with disabilities.

The ordinance is called "The Disabled Persons Employment and Rehabilitation Ordinance, " and it was passed into law on 29 December It provides measures for the employment, rehabilitation, and welfare of people with disabilities. As time passed, the legislature wanted to have more freedom and power and by the beginning of , rumours about the differences between Prime Minister Muhammad Khan Junejo and Zia were rife.

It is said by some that Zia-Junejo rift was encouraged by late Mahboob-ul-Haq and Junejo's insistence on signing Geneva pact without deciding the composition of next government of Afghanistan before Soviet withdrawal. Junejo also gave Benazir a seat next to him in parleys before that. Junejo did not strengthen the Islamization drive and rather weakened it.

Ojhri Camp blast had irreversibly weakened Zia. Junejo was committed to make an investigation into the Ojhri camp disaster. After defeat of Soviet army, America wanted to audit the ammunition and missiles supplied to Pakistan for mujahidin, most of which has been stored by Pakistan for future targets against India or other enemies. So Zia planned this event in a very cruel manner, having sacrificed the lives of people of Pakistan for fulfillment of their own agenda.

Zia ul haq urdu speech on allama

Apart from many other reasons, Prime Minister Junejo's decision to sign the Geneva Accord against the wishes of Zia, and his open declarations of removing any military personnel found responsible for an explosion at a munitions dump at Ojhri Camp , on the outskirts of army headquarters in Rawalpindi , earlier in the year, proved to be some of the major factors responsible for his removal.

Relations with India worsened amid the Siachen conflict and accusations that Pakistan was aiding the Khalistan movement. General Zia wanted to bring the legal, social, economic and political institution of the country in conformity with the Islamic principles, values and tradition in the light of Quran and Sunnah to enable the people of Pakistan to lead their lives in accordance to Islam.

The Government of Zia-ul-Haq took number of steps to eradicate un-Islamic practices from the country. Islam is a complete code of life containing specific teachings about all matters. All governments should be based on a proper financial system. The government of General Zia for this purpose invited eminent scholars to compile laws about Islamic financing.

It covered only Islamic organizations, associations and institutions. Government appointed Central, Provincial, District and Tehsil Zakat Committees to distribute Zakat funds to the needy, poor, orphans and widows. The Shias were exempted from Zakat deduction from their accounts. The Zakat tax was to be deducted by the banks on the 1st day of Ramzan.

It changed the sentence from, life imprisonment to execution in the case of blasphemy of the Holy Prophet Peace Be Upon him. Most of the members of the Shoora were intellectuals, scholars, ulema, journalists, economists and professionals belonging to different fields of life.
