Re: This is not your duty We don’t pay you for this
Please do not mix up and change the history. The statement that Pakistanis would sell their mother for dollar was not made after OBL raid, or when Musharraf was in power.
Statement was made by American persecutor for Pakistani officials (especially Nawaz Shareef), as in May 1997, Nawaz Shareef sold Aimal Kansi to USA for multi-million dollar head money.
Here is reference (though, you can find many more reference on the issue … or check 1997 news media):
Selling Their Mothers By The Pound | Writer’s Block T G H
‘Pakistanis will sell their mothers for a dollar’ remarked an American prosecutor about Pakistani officials who had allegedly played an important role in capturing Aimal Kansi, wanted in USA for killing two CIA official.
Remember: USA captured Aimal Kansi in May 1997, with consent of then PM Nawaz Shareef.
Now coming to Elected person in office: It seems, you have impression that elected person in office are not same as public (government) servants. But that is wrong impression. There are different selection procedures for people to get into public offices and serve the nation, that is all.
A person who get selected to serve people through election are also public servant, get paid for the job he does, and his only purpose is to serve people. It is just like other government servants, whose selection procedure are different.
Anyhow, if elected public servants (politicians in office) do any wrong doings (corruption, nepotism, mismanagement, taking commission, grabbing public lands, etc), than it is duty of selected public servants to act against them and punish them.
Ideally, it should be police, FIA, Accountability bureau, courts, etc … but when they are not doing their job (got compromised due to their own corruption and wrong doings of elected public servants), than it becomes duty of armed forces to save the country from corrupt elected public servants (unless, armed forces is also compromised, what Nawaz Shareef is trying his best to do).
Unfortunately, most Pakistani institutions are compromised, hence army has to act when it is required to punish elected corrupt thugs in office.
