Who is Ayaz Amir? Ayaz Amir is the author of the article that I posted on this thread. He takes a position that is rather contrary to the host of this thread and exposes hypocrisy where he sees it which is certainly a pleasant change from the gushing praise from the host of this thread for the official Pakistan government position. Check out his credentials: Ayaz Amir is known for his audacious and independent views on various national issues. He began his career in the Pakistan Army, and left to join the foreign services in 1973. He resigned in 1977 while posted in Moscow as second secretary during the 1977 movement against Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and returned to Pakistan. In 1979 he joined The Muslim as assistant editor. At a very young age, he assumed the arduous task of writing editorials and wrote a number of impeccable editorials for `The Muslim' and the `Dawn'. He was axed from The Muslim in 1981 during a trade union dispute. He started as a freelance writer for the Dawn and the Herald in 1983. Started writing editorials and later a weekly column for the Dawn (1984-to date). He was jailed twice for brief periods during General Zia's regime. Got elected as a Member Punjab Assembly (MPA) in 1997 and resigned much before General Musharraf's Night of the Long Knives on October 12, 1999.
