Men at their best???



Some people say that If elected members do not deliver during five years than its failure of democracy! what about failure of Army which is operating in Baluchistan and KPK since more than 10 years yet things have gone from bad to worse!

We generously feed the holy cow out of our national budget without much real civilian audit so its our right to ask that how there have been so many successful intrusions into Armed forces facilities ,Could intrusions into PNS Mehran base, Kamra Aeronautical complex,GHQ Headquarters be possible without inside support? If No than it’s a sign of dangerously poor planning and organization but if yes than someone from the ranks needs to explain that why is this inside support from forces to Taliban is ever increasing.



Army is still defending itself through hired employees like Shehzad Chaudhry and few Anchors and also through hidden influence/pressure in/on media (incidents related to Omer Cheema and Saleem Shehzad have not been forgotten).It is in a habit of doing so. It stopped many reports in the name of larger interest of the country /Armed forces like by Hamudur Rehman commission ,on Zia Ul Haq/Mashaf Mir plane crash ,Ojri Camp etc.Even now Commission reports about US operation in abbottabad for Osama,Benazir Bhutto Assassination etc are believed to be heavily influenced by Armed forces interests.


May be it all was started to save prestige of Army but practically some people have started using it to cover corruption and dishonesty like Asad Durrani and Aslam Beig
confessed bribing Politicians for a desirable political scenario but due to obvious intervention by Army nothing happened similarly Karachi bridge collapse (Shershah bridge)culprits got promotions in NHA.There is another scandal in NLC and off course Musharaf’s second Marshal law .All of this indicates that internal checks in Armed forces especially in Army are not enough. The way Army and its posts are under attack there is an obvious split within Army (Between Islamists and Moderates or lower ranks verses higher ranks).I think this is high time that Army stops defending its those members who act for financial, political and personal interests. Army should give at least some indication that culprits have been brought to justice to win back sympathy and loyalty of urban educated class which can be extremely influential in bringing mass support for Army.
