What a lie … Musharraf did not violated his oath nor staged military coup, rather it was NS who violated constitution by trying to sack Army Chief without giving any show cause notice neither right to defend himself if there was any cause. Nawaz also endangered Musharraf life by trying to divert plane landing, and that is analogous to high jacking the plane, that in Pakistani law at the time was crime with punishment of getting hanged.
In above oath, it is clear that first duty of an army officer is allegiance to Pakistan and that means upholding the constitution as long as it is not harming Pakistan … and that principle is true for all army officers, rather all Pakistanis.
For instance: According to constitution, a lower cadre officer have to obey order of superior officer. Still, according to oath … that serving Pakistan is above constitution or any oath requirement, such that, even if President, Prime Minister, Minister, Army Chief, or anyone is seen involved in activities harming Pakistan then lower cadre officer (or any Pakistani) can violate constitution and stop upper cadre officer (or superior authority) from harming Pakistan.
Example: Rashid Minhas was flying air-force aircraft with an officer who was his superior. Anyhow, when Rashid Minhas realised that the officer is trying to take the aircraft to India, Rashid Minhas struggled against his superior officer causing the plane to crash. No one says that Rashid Minhas violated his army oath or constitutional requirement of obeying his superior officer, rather, for his act, he was awarded Nishan-e-Haider.
Again Nonsense. Obviously Musharraf is not Army … but trial of Musharraf is certainly trial of Army. Reason is simple, that is:
Government, Media, Judges, Lawyers, journalists, all are with this trial saying that it would stop future Martial law… and that means, trial of Musharraf in itself is unimportant, but important is to give message to Army officers. Hence trial of Musharraf is not to punish Musharraf … rather, it is to warn and intimidate officers of Armed forces.
As for violation of constitution is concerned, what you are crowing in many posts, fact is that … corruption, lies, looting, nepotism, mismanagement, misuse of power … (and many more that Pakistani politicians, judiciary, police, and bureaucracy do every day) is violation of constitution.
So, if anyone should be punished for violation of constitution, then most Pakistani politicians, judiciary, police, and bureaucracy are guilty of this crime, and should be punished in same way as person who violated any clause of constitution.
