Neutrality

Hello, the neutrality of this article is entirely in dispute as it seems to be written by someone close to the subject or a fan of the subject, it lacks any semblance at all of objectivity or balance and presents a very fawning and biased perspective of late Maj Gen Shahid Hamid. In fact, Shahid Hamid was one of the most controversial general officers of the Pakistan Army-- the man who in fact helped bring in Gen Ayub via a notorious coup d etat, and who was also the man who established Pakistan's notorious ISI agency. His life and career was certainly no sweet smelling one. This whole article seems to be based on just 2 sources, one an obviously flattering obituary by someone again either pro-Hamid or paid by Hamid's family to write this sort of stuff for the press. Such hacks are common here. I would seriously request some senior and objective admin/editor to go through this and edit it properly and remove all material that is of a doubtful or unreliable nature, or is openly fawning. And more and much more reliable references should be added to support any claims. Thanks. 39.54.204.96 (talk) 07:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Col (r) Mumtaz Ali Khan, Pakistan[reply]
