General Muhammad Zia ul Haq was Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Martial Law Administrator and (later) President. He is one of the most polarized figures of Pakistan. His brand of administration has left irremovable marks on Pakistan's destiny.

Every leader/Politician/Dictator in Pakistan's history made blunders but still Zia ul Haq was far much better than majority of them specially who came after him.
It is during his rule that Pakistan achieved capability of Nuclear weapons, most importantly his stance during 1987 Indo-Pakstandoff prevented another major war in the region.

His Biography can be sum in one sentence " The man who destroy Pakistan for Generations to come " . I wish he never existed or died earlier .
If he would have lived for two more years he could have controlled everything and would have been called a hero. But whoever assassinated him made sure he left the things in a mess instead of order. Stop crying now please we had a lot of years to clear things but nobody really did anything except crying until things got out of control.
Let us man up and wear man pants instead of having handkerchief dabbing the eyes.
Sorry bit harsh but felt that way reading the post.

He's pretty much a neo-Aurangzeb, with people holding greatly polarising opinions of him.

Never the less, under his rule, Pakistan acquired F-16s (some of the most potent aircraft in the world to this very day), the USSR and the Afghan regime were both crushed, Pakistan's nuclear capability was significantly advanced, and our nation had the fastest rate of economic growth in the world.

It's difficult for me to dislike such an individual.

ooh so you are saying we should not be nuclear?

Because he is the person who completed our nuclear deterrence otherwise no other Govt can complete it.

Don't forget the F-16s which Pakistan got during his presidency and those very same F-16s fked India recently on 27 Feb.

Zia ul Haq and team was killed by the enemies of Pakistan.

Agreed ........ Heroin and Guns, Afghan terrorism, religious extremism, rishwat, police corruption,govt institution destroyed on top greatest gift of Nawaz Shareef .
And at the end when the job was done. Those who brought him in power send him back to his ultimate destiny.
But my country is totally destroyed. It will take time to recover from those deep wounds and scars of the past.
