ISLAMABAD:
With reference to a notice published in The Express Tribune on February 16, Gen (retd) Hamid Gul has offered an apology to the Express Media Group.
Gen Gul had earlier on a television show cast doubts on the authenticity of photos published in The Express Tribune of banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi leader Malik Ishaq attending the Difa-e-Pakistan Council rally in Multan. The former Inter-Services Intelligence chief had called the photos “doctored” by the group and the reporter in question. Gen Gul, a leader of the Difa-e-Pakistan Council, spoke to The Express Tribune recently in Rawalpindi on the sidelines of a press conference organised by the council.
He said that the stage in Multan was in fact very large and he had not noticed Ishaq’s presence. He said that he had mistakenly said that The Express Tribune’s picture was doctored, and later his colleagues confirmed Ishaq’s presence on stage along with other leadership.
He apologised for his remarks.

Pakistan needs leaders like Hamid Gul, Imran Khan and Munnawr Hussain. However they should make sure that their alliences and allies protect the minorities as ordered in Holy Quran. Anybody who creats a shia sunni schism or conflict leading to death and destruction is a criminal and must be hanged. I don’t care if they take the names of Suhaba Kiram. Every Pakistani citizen, Sunni, Shia, Hindu, sikh, Ahmadi,Beralvi ,salfi etc have the right to profess their faith in a Free Pakistan.

@Reasoner:
Yes just as the chief ISI he had failed to notice that the genie of extremism they had been fostering in Afghanistan would one day engulf the whole of Pakistan. Loser.

@mary: Gul did not fail to notice the genie of extremism, he intentionally let it come out of the bottle.
