Re: I am only answerable to the Parliament: PM Gilani

You cannot have different yardsticks for different people. After such an inflammatory statement by ISPR, Kayani and Pasha would have been tried under atricle 6 or atleast been dismissed in most civilised countries (and I absolutely agree with Firenze there..)
We don’t have to look too far. In India the army is firmly under civilian control (and their politicians are no less corrupt IMO)

The army should act within it’s domain. They should always remain subservient to civilian rule. It is not the job of COAS to be telling an elected PM (however bad and incompetent) or dictating to the judiciary (as happened in 1993 when NS was dismissed) what they should and should n’t be doing. Let the people decide their fate at the next election as happens in most countries

Has any corrupt general ever been tried for any past misdemeanours (and there are many)? Our military exercises just way too much control and pokes its nose in things which are none of their business

I don’t support Zardari, Gilani, Sharifs or Chaudharies etc. but politicians do have a point when they say that they have atleast spent some time in jail in the past. Name one general who has been held accountable for anything so far?

There is no use of crying over split of milk. Forget the past and give chance to courts to see all current corrupt ppl.
