Media up, military down in poll

By Khalid Hasan

WASHINGTON: The International Republican Institute (IRI) poll, partly reported on Friday, shows that the Pakistan Army, which had “long been the most respected institution in the country,” has taken a dive in popularity, plunging from an 80 percent approval rating to 55 percent. The most admired entity in Pakistan remains the media with a 78 percent approval rating. According to the IRI, “The drop in the Army’s prestige is likely due to the unpopularity of Musharraf. When Pakistanis were asked if the performance of Musharraf affected their opinion of the Army, 31 percent said that they now had a higher opinion due to his actions and 20 percent said that their opinion had not changed, while a plurality of 41 percent said that Musharraf’s performance caused them to now have a lower opinion of the Army.”

Shame that our army has suffered due to a mediocre leader as their head. Inshallah now that they have got rid of this power crazy dictator the army morale and standing will improve. we can already see the results as Kiyani took over and the operation in Swat began to bore fruit. all Kiyani wants is Pakistan cleared of f these terrorists , unlike Musharraf who used them to strengthen his hold on kursi. That is the difference between a professional soldier like Kiyani and third rate joker like Musharraf.
