Irfan Siddiqi, the notorious Taliban supporter, and a low-grade servant and speech writer for the Mullah President Rafiq Tarar remembers 12 October 1999 but not 4 July 1977. Abbas Ather identifies this dichotomy in the attitudes and behaviors of the supporters of PML(N) and their pro-Taliban media agents (e.g. Irfan Siddiqi) who are ready to condemn President Musharraf but have, in their heart of hearts, utmost respect for the worst of all military dictator, General Zia-ul-Haq. An op-ed by Abbas Ather.
