Although our security establishment and politicians have dubious character throughout their careers and they only realize their crimes and mistakes once they are kicked out of power…but all these years, we the average Pakistanies were forced to believe that no matter what, our Army and Intelligence agencies can and would never compromise on national interest and they would do whatever in their capacity to save us from our enemies… for this reason, we were happy to give away 80%+ of our budget to our armed forces, we happily viewed them building mansions while living in a hut, we saluted their convoys while walking bare-footed in the heat of June and July, we backed them up on when and where basis, we never have shown any hesitation to sacrifice for our heroes…
and Now, after 60 odd years of sacrifice what have we got in our hand?
An army who still eats 80%+ of our budget and count the bodies of our brothers killed in drone attacks? worse, the same army and political leadership encourage such attacks in civilians! i don’t know under which law it is permissible to shoot out 100s of innocent civilians to kill one terrorist??? the only people who do this are known as terrorists… they kill or destroy anything just to reach their target!!!
The intelligence agencies who have spent years telling us that all the politicians are traitors and who have spent millions in buying the loyalties or creating alliances between the same traitors have done nothing to kill / eliminate the elements who killed people praying in mosques back in 90s, seems to be God-Father of the killers of Karachi were dogs think that they are lucky do be a dog and not a man, did nothing to takeout the leadership and operational capabilities of TTP…
Yes the intelligence agencies have scared the hell out of me and many like me, they have kidnapped us, tortured us, kept in captivity without any charge… we were/are harmless persons who can do nothing yet been prosecuted by our own defenders…
Yes the same intelligence agencies have always harbored politicians to use them on specific time… Imran Khan comes to mind, who was used to show to US and other countries that how much Pakistani pressure groups are against the Drones… and now when the message has been conveyed ( for which we got a brutal response in form of Abbotabad Operation) his dharna politics is no longer required… so he is abandoned this time
The politcal leadership has used the army establishment as their shield in all those years, anything went wrong was and is blamed on army, now army and political leadership has approved a resolution which says that if any drone attack took place then the supply to Afghanistan shall be blocked, yes, Americans laughed and said there you go, have 2 per day and we will pay you, so the drone and supply to NATO continued…
I want to support my Army, my ISI, my politicians.. but with every passing day it is becoming difficult to support them… if i cannot trust my army then whom should i trust… so far their ain’t anyone who can lift the sword out of the stone… so far we are being said to stay low because of the bed-room monsters… yes the same monsters who feed our political and army elite…
