Re: Book on military's business empire launched (merged)
^^ well actually the article started from this brig. there are many others who gets 25 acres max and that is not any city but places like Narowal, Bahawalpur and Bhawalnagr, where the nearest city facilities is abotu 100 kms away. i really feel bad about them, but they seems to be happy as when i spoke to one of my friends father who happend to be retd. Major and got allotment of 25 acres in Narowal ( near Indian Border), he was happy that he is near his enemy ( India) and if something happens he still have a chance to join the party.
Other good thing his by alloting land to these retd. officers in rural areas, minimise the influence of local Jageerdar to some extend. which is in favor of haari.
about the NAVY, we dont know what are the arrangements between the NAVY and those villagers, but i refuse to accept this without any hard evidence that NAVY is taking away land of those villagers without any reason( mind you that land and land alloted to Brig. worth almost nothing in the market.)
last no least, there are land mafias in city, governed by the city governed, represented by PATWARI, who takes away valuble land of common citizens and kills them if they resist... Army Generals may be invovled in taking valuble plots in cantt. but they do not snatch from anyone.
