I think India and Srilanka has old history of relationships. Tamil Nado was the main issue then and interference by former PM of India Rajiv Gandhi cost him his life. Rest of of these small countries are more like colonies of India except Singapore where perhaps Indian army chief visiting security provided by him on the request of Singapore government. Again Singapore and India has very old realtionships. These examples are not an excuse for Sharif to act as civilian do ser sappata on government expenses issuing political statements, though Sharif and his Mumnoon are his personal khansamas.

Look… if you say that military should not intervene in civilian businesses, I would agree with you. If you say military should stay away from politics, I would agree with you. If you say military has no business running housing societies, fertilizer plants, cement factories, schools, etc., I would 100% agree with you.

But if you say that military chiefs do not go on foreign visits and not engage with leadership of foreign countries, I would disagree with you. The examples I gave were relevant because Pakistani military chief visited Sri Lanka causing much pain to people. It wasn’t ser sapata either. Ser sapata is going to France to look at your mansion while people drown in floods in Pakistan.

I get it that you don’t like generals for several reasons. I would agree with most of those reasons but you don’t have to invent more reasons for it.
