So Pakistan Army is actually functioning under officers who took oath under modified Indian Army Act of 1911. The mockery and breakup of the country is no doubt obvious by these military officers who never took oath to serve the country by not involving in the politics. The government should dismiss such officers asap if still serving, unless they take oath under 1973 constitution. It is a shame that how these people really ruined the country thinking as the country ‘in ke baap ki jaagir hay oar awam un kay ghulam hain’.

On the same token, there are politicians who think fauj is in their pockets, and by buying a general or two, they can control the country with an iron fist while sitting behind the veil of democracy.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the first (and perhaps only) civilian Chief Martial Law Administrator of Pakistan once upon a time bought out a general by the name of Zia ul Haq, and superseded 10s of other seniors in order to make him the COAS, just so that ZAB could use the army to strengthen his chokehold on the country.
and once upon a time, ZAB ordered ISI to create a political wing to keep an eye on opposition political parties. That was essentially the death of true democracy in Pakistan.
True democracy in Pakistan was born and went into a coma with the 1970 elections. So far it hasnt been revived, and no democratic setup has made an effort to do so.
