There is something so fundamentally defective about this kind of statement, and mentality behind.
Everytime Army’s top brass is constructively criticised for legit reasons, people bring in the *aam fauji *at the border argument as an emotional blackmail. It’s that kind of emotional blackmailing which has made army see itself as demi-Gods, powerful above all, but accountable to none. And whoever dares raise a point about accountability and transparency from that institution is called traitor and public enemy number one. The country has turned into a garrison state because of this a ‘civilian will always be inferior to a fauji’ mindset.
