All members of PESA expressed grief and shock at the sudden demise of Lt. Gen. Gul who was one of the founders of PESA.The deceased very actively participated in activities of the association in support of law and the Constitution.
The meeting observed that Gen. Hameed Gul was a true soldier and a brilliant military commander throughout his service who served with pride and dedication.
Even after his retirement he continued to serve Pakistan with unending energy and dedication and continued fighting for defence of the country under the oath he took at passing-out ceremony. With his passing away, a chapter of a fiercely proud Pakistani is closed. The consensus was that he rattled many a people during his lifetime but was a Pakistani first and a Pakistani last.
