Re: Nawab Akbar Bugti Killed (MERGED)
I've also read that at least until sometime ago, PA had around 40 percent Pashtuns in its top brass. Musharraf said on television that 10 percent officers in army are Sindhis. But I'm not trying to base every argument on what I read/heard somewhere which may or may not be true. I'd encourage people to find out the exact ethnic make-up of not only PA in general, but army top brass in particular, and post the information here. I'll accept any figure if it comes from a reliable source.
Lets have a look at these names.
1- Messervy (Gora)
2- Gracey (Gora)
3- Ayub Khan (Hindko)
4- Musa Khan (Hazara, Quetta )
5- Yahya Khan (Persian)
6- Gul Hasan (Quetta, Pashtun)
7- Tikka Khan (?)
8- Zia (Punjabi Mohajir)
9- Aslam Beg (Mohajir?)
10- Asif Nawaz (Punjab)
11- Wahid Kakar (Pashtun, born in Quetta?)
12- Karamat (Punjab, Lahore?; didn't 'sack' NS)
13- Musharraf (Delhi, Mohajir; 'sacked' the elected PM who was Punjabi)
I think its quite representative. Sindhis and Baloch are missing, although ZA Bhutto enjoyed being a civilian martial law administrator for a while. He was hanged, and the person who hanged him was blown up by 'someone'. Its not as simple as Iltaf bhai would have us believe. Baloch are, unfortunately, no more than 3/4 million. But I'd love to see Larkana corps (with Sindhi majority) taking over Karachi. I'm sure nobody would question their moral authority.
