00:00 Asif Zardari was in my house and he was a senior in my house.
00:10 When I was in class 8, he was in class 9.
00:14 We lived in the same house in Jinnah House, Credit College, Pattaro.
00:20 Zardari was known as Asif Baloch.
00:28 Zardari was added later.
00:31 We knew him as Asif Baloch.
00:36 The name which was popular in that time was Asif Baloch.
00:42 Of course, Zardari is his caste.
00:46 He was primarily a very straightforward person.
00:52 He was a friend of friends and an enemy of enemies.
00:58 Wow! So, he had a personality like that from that time.
01:02 Oh yes! Very clear headed and clear minded.
01:07 He didn't have any hypocrisy.
01:10 He had diplomacy.
01:12 There is a difference between hypocrisy and diplomacy.
01:17 I will tell you a famous incident about him which I have written in my book.
01:23 Army College is very disciplined.
01:27 If you feel that there is some injustice in that college and you protest,
01:34 then no one can even think.
01:36 So, a protest was done in which a kind of college was taken over.
01:43 So, Asif Zardari took over the college.
01:47 Allama Mashriqi, who was a famous banker,
01:50 his son Waheed,
01:52 He was a member of Khadsa Tehreek.
01:54 Yes, yes.
01:55 He was the son of the founder of Khadsa Tehreek.
01:59 Waheed.
02:01 Then there was a very famous person of Merchant Navy, Shah Jahan.
02:09 Then Dr. Fateh, who was a famous urologist,
02:14 his nephew,
02:16 and Asif Zardari and few more.
02:19 So, sir, they took over the college.
02:21 Yes, they took over.
02:22 I remember, wait I am telling you the truth,
02:25 we were confused as to who will run our mess.
02:29 And the whole system was ruined.
02:32 Sir, was this a union?
02:33 No, no question. How did a union come in the army?
02:36 But despite that, you see,
02:41 then the Rangers came after two days.
02:44 To get rid of them.
02:46 Yes.
02:47 Like their governments have been going on.
02:49 Yes.
02:50 So, this is from that time.
02:52 Yes, from that time.
02:53 So, the base was made from that time.
02:55 I am telling you, I am sure,
02:57 the boys of our batches of Pataro,
02:59 they must be listening,
03:01 I have written in my book.
03:03 And it has been 20 years since my book was published.
03:06 But in all this,
03:08 what I want to tell you basically,
03:10 their role has always been
03:12 very determined,
03:14 straight forward,
03:16 to the point,
03:18 and a doer.
03:19 So, sir, when they took over all the institutions,
03:23 didn't they get any punishment?
03:25 Like now, you have seen in politics,
03:28 that 10-15 years they were put in jail.
03:30 Yes, sometimes there is punishment in that.
03:32 Sometimes,
03:33 there are the children of generalists.
03:35 Of other people.
03:36 Obviously, like there is the Edgton College,
03:38 there is Hassan Ahmad Al, there is Pataro.
03:40 So, all of them are the children of some influential people.
03:43 So, later on,
03:45 they made excuses.
03:47 So, this way,
03:49 it ended.
03:51 So, this is a very historical…
03:53 It is.
03:54 Yes.
03:55 Very interesting.
03:57 For many friends,
03:59 this may be a very surprising thing,
04:01 that our respected President of the country,
04:04 Mr. Asif Zardari,
04:06 when he was in college,
04:08 he took over his entire college.
04:10 I mean, it was a whole group.
04:12 Okay.
04:13 Yes, it was a whole group.
04:14 So, sir, what was their attitude like,
04:16 in sports or activities?
04:18 He was good.
04:19 But, there is one thing,
04:21 like,
04:23 like,
04:25 taking a compulsory interest in everything,
04:27 that was given there,
04:30 you don't take it.
04:32 Games were compulsory,
04:34 parade was compulsory,
04:36 even eating food was compulsory.
04:38 Salah was compulsory,
04:40 at least on Fridays.
04:41 Sleeping on lights out was compulsory.
04:44 So, this was also compulsory.
04:46 (upbeat music)
04:48 (playful music)
