After the Kargil's situation Gen Pervez Musharraf was angry on Nawaz Sharif. The relation between PM and COAS got worse. Ex COAS Gen Pervez Musharraf  heard the rumors that that Ex PM Nawaz Sharif wants to suspend the COAS and want to give the duties of COAS to the DG ISI Gen Zia ud din. After some days there was an intelligence report sent to COAS in which was written that, PM Nawaz has decided to remove COAS from his post. So, the Gen Pervez calls the meeting in which five people were invited.

1. Major Gen Ehsan Ul Haq.

There was 5 meetings were conducted. The first four were conducted at COAS Gen. Pervez Musharaf and the fifth-one was conducted at SSG Rest House Rawalpindi. These generals alerted the Triple-1 brigade and SSG commands for there Plan. After all this PM Nawaz invited COAS at his home for settlement but it goes all in vain. PM Nawaz again invited COAS and his Wife for UMMRAH trip. But this all was useless. PM was going on tour of Multan of 12 October. In the flight, there was PM himself, DG ISI Gen. Zia ud din candidate for COAS's post and PTV's chairman. In that flight it was discussed that PM wants Zia to be a new COAS. COAS Gen Pervez Musharraf also gone on the tour of Sri Lanka. In the absence of the COAS, PM ordered PTV's Chairman to announce the news of new COAS. The news was about to be aired, but Pakistan Army sealed the PTV's office and stop the news. After that, COAS was returning from Sri Lanka and the pilots of flight no PA-805 was not allowed to be land in Karachi and were ordered to take the flight far from Pakistan and land some other country. It was all the doing of PM. But on the right Lt Gen. Mahmud Ahmed reached at the Karachi ATC and ordered the pilots to land the Plane at the Benazir Airport. After the landing, COAS straight went to the PM house to arrest the PM. It is said by the workers of PM house that PM Nawaz was affraid of all this and hide in the washroom. COAS arrested  the PM and also his brother. After that COAS take over the country and stayed as a President Of Pakistan for 7 years.

Minar-e-Pakistan

Minar-e-Pakistan (Pakistan Day Memorial) is a minar which was built to commemorate the day when the Pakistan resolution was passed on March 23, 1940. The main tower of this memorial was completed on March 22, 1968. The location was originally known as Minto Park. It was here that the historic session of the All-India Muslim League was held on March 23, 1940.

In 1960 the Muslim League leaders impressed upon the local authorities the need for building a memorial. The governor of West Pakistan, Akhtar Hussain, issued an appeal to the public for contributions for constructing the memorial. He also constituted a memorial committee and a memorial fund for collecting donations from philanthropists. Murat Khan, a Turkish architect, designed the memorial. The governor laid the foundation stone of the memorial on March 23, 1960. The tower took about eight years to complete, at an estimated cost of Rs. 500,000.

The tower rises above a platform shaped like a five-pointed star. The terrace is three feet from ground level, the platform's height is about six feet, and the star platform is about 12 feet high. It is surrounded by two crescent-shaped pools, four feet deep and lined with green and red marble. The tower has a spring shaped hall spanned by arches. The rostrum facing Badshahi Mosque is a quadrant constructed with Mughal patterned tiles. The circular diameter of the tower is 320 feet. The petals, 30 feet high, look like a blooming flower. The total height of the structure is 203 feet from ground level. On the marble slabs of the central shaft are inscribed a brief history of the Pakistan Resolution in English, Urdu and Bengali, the 99 names of God and poetic verses from Allama Iqbal. The tower has 10 vertical covering slabs interlaced with flower petals and glazed cement domes, with a sightseeing platform and a central spiral staircase.

The design of the base and the first four platforms depict the history of the Pakistan Movement through architectural symbols. Rough stones and cement have been haphazardly

laid representing the chaotic conditions and the lack of direction in the early stages of the freedom movement of the Indian Muslims. The stones used for the first platform are rough Taxila stones. Hammer-dressed stones are used on the second platform. On the third platform are laid chiseled stones, while the fourth and final platform is of highly polished marble,  and ultimate success of the freedom movement.

The dome is of stainless steel with fine glass pieces. Up to the dome there are four stages spread over 162 stairs. The best and encompassing panoramic view of Lahore and the citadel is obtained by using the elevator which takes you all the way up to the top of the tower. The park is a popular recreational spot for Lahore who congregate there in large numbers. It is often used for holding large public meetings. The locality of the memorial has been highlighted with well planned parks. Eight marble fountains on the main access add to the beauty of the memorial, emitting watery rainbows with the help of multi colored lights.

The city the of Kargil can be the part of the Pakistan. But our Ex- Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif take some ridiculous decision at the of the war between Pakistan and India.

In the absence of the COAS Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf, Nawaz Sharif receives a call from U.S President Bill Clinton asked Mr. Sharif to pull out from the Kargil. It was the strict order from the Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf not to lose hope and fight until the last breathe. At that time, Pakistan almost captures the tiger hill and were very close to take Kargil under Pakistan territory. But the biggest enemy of the Pakistan Nawaz Sharif order Pakistan Army to withdraw. When India recaptures the Jubar Heights and reached the top of it. Pakistan Army's brave soldier's group were returning to their posts. The India Army opens up the fire from the top and killed every soldier of that group. After this Mr Nawaz Sharif also congrates the Indian Army for fighting with bravery. Such a shamefull moment of our history.

 There is part of Martial Law conducted by Ex COAS Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf, which I will discuss in the next blog. Stay Tuned.

Pakistan History culture,Geographical, Climate, Economy

• The nation of Pakistan is still young, but human history in the area reaches back for tens of thousands of years. In recent history, Pakistan has been inextricably linked in the world's view with the extremist movement of al Qaeda

  Capital and Major Cities

  Capital:

  Islamabad, population 1,889,249 (2012 estimate)

  Major Cities:

  • Karachi, population 24,205,339
  • Lahore, population 10,052,000
  • Faisalabad, population 4,052,871
  • Rawalpindi, population 3,205,414
  • Hyderabad, population 3,478,357
  • All figures based on 2012 estimates.

  Pakistani Government

  Pakistan has a (somewhat fragile) parliamentary democracy. The President is the Head of State, while the Prime Minister is the Head of Government. Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain were elected in 2013. Elections are held every five years and incumbents are eligible for reelection.

  Pakistan's two-house Parliament (Majlis-e-Shura) is made up of a 100-member Senate and a 342-member National Assembly.

  The judicial system is a mix of secular and Islamic courts, including a Supreme Court, provincial courts, and Federal Shari'a courts that administer Islamic law. Pakistan's secular laws are based on British common law. All citizens over 18 years of age have the vote.

  Population of Pakistan

  Pakistan's population estimate as of 2015 was 199,085,847, making it the sixth most populous nation on Earth.

  The largest ethnic group is the Punjabi, with 45 percent of the total population. Other groups include the Pashtun (or Pathan), 15.4 percent; Sindhi, 14.1 percent; Sariaki, 8.4 percent; Urdu, 7.6 percent; Balochi, 3.6 percent; and smaller groups making up the remaining 4.7 percent.

  The birth rate in Pakistan is relatively high, at 2.7 live births per woman, so the population is expanding rapidly. The literacy rate for adult women is only 46 percent, compared with 70 percent for men.

  Languages of Pakistan

  The official language of Pakistan is English, but the national language is Urdu (which is closely related to Hindi). Interestingly, Urdu is not spoken as a native language by any of Pakistan's main ethnic groups and was chosen as a neutral option for communication among the various peoples of Pakistan.

  Punjabi is the native tongue of 48 percent of Pakistanis, with Sindhi at 12 percent, Siraiki at 10 percent, Pashtu at 8 percent, Balochi at 3 percent, and a handful of smaller language groups. Most Pakistan languages belong to the Indo-Aryan language family and are written in a Perso-Arabic script.

  Religion in Pakistan

  An estimated 95-97 percent of Pakistanis are Muslim, with the remaining few percentage points made up of small groups of Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Parsi (Zoroastrians), Buddhists and followers of other faiths.

  About 85-90 percent of the Muslim population are Sunni Muslims, while 10-15 percent are Shi'a.

  Most Pakistani Sunnis belong to the Hanafi branch, or to the Ahle Hadith. Shi'a sects represented include the Ithna Asharia, the Bohra, and the Ismailis.

  Geography of Pakistan

  Pakistan lies at the collision point between the Indian and Asian tectonic plates. As a result, much of the country consists of rugged mountains. The area of Pakistan is 880,940 square km (340,133 square miles).

  The country shares borders with Afghanistan to the northwest, China to the north, India to the south and east, and Iran to the west. The border with India is subject to dispute, with both nations claiming the mountain regions of Kashmir and Jammu.

  Pakistan's lowest point is its Indian Ocean coast, at sea level. The highest point is K2, the world's second-tallest mountain, at 8,611 meters (28,251 feet).

  Climate of Pakistan

  With the exception of the temperate coastal region, most of Pakistan suffers from seasonal extremes of temperature.

  From June to September, Pakistan has its monsoon season, with warm weather and heavy rain in some areas. The temperatures drop significantly in December through February, while spring tends to be very warm and dry. Of course, the Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain ranges are snowbound for much of the year, due to their high altitudes.

  Temperatures even at lower elevations may drop below freezing during the winter, while summer highs of 40°C (104°F) are not uncommon. The record high is 55°C (131°F).

  Pakistani Economy

  Pakistan has great economic potential, but it has been hampered by internal political unrest, a lack of foreign investment, and its chronic state of conflict with India. As a result, the per capita GDP is only $5000, and 22 percent of Pakistanis live under the poverty line (2015 estimates).

  While GDP was growing at 6-8 percent between 2004 and 2007, that slowed to 3.5 percent from 2008 to 2013. Unemployment stands at just 6.5 percent, although that does not necessarily reflect the state of employment as many are underemployed.

  Pakistan exports labor, textiles, rice, and carpets. It imports oil, petroleum products, machinery, and steel.

   and with the Taliban, based in neighboring Afghanistan. The Pakistani government is in a delicate position, caught between various factions within the country, as well as policy pressures from without.
