[edit] New Army Chief

For all personal pages, like this one, I think there should be a section on "Family" giving brief personal information on spouse, children, siblings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.29.198.47 (talk) 18:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Well if you can get the info, feel free to add. Joshdboz 16:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Since my wife is a cousin of Ashfaq Kayani, we would appreciate not having our details listed for any Al-Qaeda psycho to have a pop at.They bombed the two London tube trains I take to work whilst I was on holiday in Rawalpindi, so missed me by miles there, scumbags. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Streona (talk • contribs) 00:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kayani or Kiyani?

I'm from China. The news I read about this general says that his surname is Kiyani. Which is correct? I hope some friend understands Urdu can give us a correct answer. Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 09:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Since i am directly related to him, i can assure you that his surname is KAYANI, any alternate spellings are wrong, regardless of where u read it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.61.56.100 (talk) 10:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The problem is one of transliteration since the name is originally written in Urdu and is variously transliterated by different family members. Most of the English members use "Kiani" but before my wife (who is also directly related to him) came to England she also used "Kayani". I have never seen "Kiyani".

Also if you check Gakhars on Wikipedia you will find a number of individuals listed called "Kiani" and "Kayani" who are members of this tribe- and of course the Kiani Crown. Also if you checkKayani there is an alternate spelling given of "Kiani". Unfortunately Kiani gives a comic book hero.

[edit] Citations Needed

Is it necessary to ask for so many citations - NWFP is a province of Pakistan, just as California is part of the USA, or does that need a citation? Presumably Ashfaq gets on well with Musharraf as he made him his successor and likewise Benazir, who is referred to previoulsy as havimg appointed him DGMO.

[edit] Lower Class ?

What does this mean, in this context ? Streona (talk) 01:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

it means that Gen Kayani did not even belong to wht ppl term as the middle class. His father was an NCO, very poor, having a house with only one room. It just shows that how gen Kayani's sucess is his own work, he was in no way assisted anywhere during his career by any one else. Even though now as a general he belongs to the elite class, it only goes on to show that he wasnt born that way, rather he worked for it his entire life! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.61.56.100 (talk) 12:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hilal-e-Imtaiz awarded for successful investigation of Suicide attacks on President Musharraf

It is written wrong there that General Ashfaq was awarded Hilal-e-Imtiaz for leading a successful investigation of suicide attacks on President Pervez Musharraf. Because in Pakistan armed forces every officer who rises to the rank of 3-star General(i.e. Lieutenant General, Air Marshal, Vice Admiral) is awarded Hilal-e-Imtiaz without any special achievement. Reason is that rising to this rank itself is a big achievement. If anyone of you don't agree with me please discuss it here so we can make it correct! --SMS ^Talk 19:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
