An article about Army and Asma Jahangir

Re: An article about Army and Asma Jahangir

You forget:-

1. Bangaldesh

2. The way militancy was allowed to spread through FATA/KP from 2006 onwards, ignored or even encouraged by the army

3. Corruption and greed within the higher levels of the army - the perks of the high levels are just too much for a poor country and army officers can just walk into any job

4. links to sectarian outfits which have been raised by the army and create havoc within the territory and very few ever being punished for it

the list could go on..

I feel sorry for the lower ranks who are just cannon fodder for the top end. Many of the soldiers killed since 2001 in Pakistan could have been avoided had there been no double dealing with the militants.

I am the biggest critic of the army due to the handling of the following issues:

1. balochistan (operations, abductions, kill and dump)
2. the way they have participated in the war in terror and the failure to have drone attacks stopped
3. failure to preempt and stop terrorist attacks through out the country

Due to all of the above mentioned factors the army has lost a lot of goodwill and support in the country over the years, and they should now take corrective actions to normalize things and understand that force is not the answer to all ills. Most of our security situation is due to the wrong policies of two generals Musharraf and kayani, should the whole army be punished for the follies of a few generals?

I see a conspiracy going on against the army in which willingly or unwillingly the military has played into it with its wrong decisions, we should condemn human right abuses by anyone (including the military). I don’t know if she really has a threat from them or not, there are many out there who might get her due to her views, labeling each and every thing on the army could prove dangerous for the army and I don’t think we can afford that either.
