Army and politics dont mix. They are better off in the barracks, where they belong.
Re: Your View on the Army
Yes the elections were rigged in 1977 .
This is a baseless allegations! If elections were mass rigged PNA would have not won majority of the Karachi and Hyderabad seats as that was their stronghold. Elsewhere they did win in parts of NWFP. But there were no mass rigging except Bhutto's facist nature actions.

Musharraf urged to step down
By Our Reporter
ISLAMABAD, Nov 27: A group of retired senior officers of the armed forces, including two former air force chiefs, one naval chief, six lieutenant generals and four major generals, urged Gen Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday not only to quit the post of Chief of the Army Staff but to also step down as head of state.
They urged Gen Musharraf to restore the Constitution and revoke the PCO, pointing out that the apex court had asked him to lift emergency. They called upon him to restore the pre-emergency situation, reinstate the pre-PCO judiciary, withdraw media curbs and release political detainees.
A joint statement recalled that Gen Musharraf had publicly admitted in a BBC interview that he committed a constitutionally illegal act on Nov 3, when he imposed ‘martial law’ and issued a PCO in his capacity as the COAS, thus losing all moral and legal authority to retain the positions he holds.
They said it was also bringing the armed forces into disrepute.
The statement bears the signatures of retired Air Marshal Noor Khan, Admiral Fasih Bokhari, Air Chief Marshal Pervez Mehdi Qureshi, Air Vice-Marshal Abbas Mirza, Lt-Gen Talat Masood, Lt-Gen Asad Durrani, Lt-Gen Ali Kuli Khan, Lt-Gen Naeem Akbar, Lt-Gen Jamshed Gulzar Kiani, Lt-Gen Ghulam Mustafa, Maj-Gen Saeed Ahmad Wahla, Maj-Gen Rizwan Qureshi, Maj-Gen Pervez Akmal, Maj-Gen Ziaullah Khan, Air Commodore Aurengzeb Azim, Brig Shaukat Qadir, Col Ahsan Siddiqui, Capt Naeem Sarfaraz, Capt Safir Mallal and Commander Mumtaz Fazal Naqshbandi.

How can he be? When he was not there! And that person was also involved in destroying democracy in this country.

When was Hamid Gul appointed ISI chief? I guess he must've involved in the Jonejo govt formation etc.

Yeah I know that he has always been very politically minded. And that's the reason why GIK appointed Asif Nawaz and not Hamid Gul (though he was the senior most Lt. Gen. at the time) as COAS. Gul has recently been very anti-Mush which made me say that.

He was ISI chief from 1987-1990 under ZIa/Junejo and GIK/BB
Re: Your View on the Army
And when you say you are against all types of military rule, then is it right for you to say as such?
Re: Your View on the Army
I think all the above generals (in dawns article) did not get along well with Mushrraf especially the Lt-Gen Ali Kuli Khan. If I remember correctly Mushrraf wrote about him in his book....

In his hey days Mr. Hamid Gul was involved in every kind of dubious activities like training and patronizing terrorist/Jihadis.....he was involved in every kind of political engineering.....it's not enough he has been anti Mush.....he should ask for an apology for whatever illegal actions he has been taking and exceeding the duty he was supposed to perform>>>>
Re: Your View on the Army
^^ totally agree with that. They're all clowns responsible for kind of criminal wrong doings. None is better than other...except maybe Talat Masood...

Re: Your View on the Army
The Army has proved to be the most organised and best institution in Pakistan. Without whose timely intervention Pakistan would not have existed today.
God Bless Pakistan. God Bless President Musharaf. God Bless COAS General Kiani. :k:
