People in Pakistan Losing Trust in Army

Trust?
Lol

People hate them and 110 million people are under 18 and all these kids watching what's they'll hate them for decades to come.

People are celebrating the every death and every time military is humiliated
Recent one is rescue operation.
 
This "trust" will be gained back as soon as Gen.Hafiz takes Khan sb back in his benevolent fold. This is nothing but an emotional outbreak of PTI folks. Army is all too powerful now so "Public Support" doesn't really matter for them because they control the essential infrastructure of governance. The politicians , the judiciary and the bureaucracy.

Just like in Balochistan and Waziristan and Karachi? Now rural Punjab is singing the same songs as Baloch are

Blind love affair is finished. We see you as the biggest enemies of this country now.

tan Losing Trust in Army​

The Army’s inability to effectively counter the extremism and terrorism within and outside the country has been the major cause of its falling reputation.

“Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)​

The Pakistani Army has long been involved in controversial matters both internally & externally. Since beginning of its establishment in 1947, it had a significant influence on the country’s political landscape. Pakistan has experienced several military coups and periods of direct military rule, be it General Ayub Khan overthrowing the civilian government or military rule under General Yahya Khan, General Zia-ul-Haq and General Parvez Musharraf. These military interventions & political manoeuvres have led to a perception of the Pakistani Army as power hungry, interfering in civilian affairs and has eroded public faith in its commitment to civilian rule. Over the years, there have been allegations of human right abuses committed by the Pakistani Army which has further tarnished its image. These include accusations of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture, particularly in conflict areas such as Baluchistan and the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). This has led to erosion of public trust and has tarnished the reputation of Pakistani Army to a great extent. Instances of excessive use of force and misconduct by soldiers has also added to the discontent among the citizens of Pakistan.

The military’s involvement in businesses, industries and commercial ventures has also played a crucial role in their downfall. It has been seen as detrimental to the country’s economy and as diverting resources away from essential sectors. The country’s economy has deteriorated, and the citizens attribute part of the blame to mismanagement or corruption within the military establishment, leading to public dissatisfaction. Lack of transparency and accountability within the military has also contributed greatly to the loss of trust in public. Its vast business empire, ranging from real estate to consumer goods, has raised eyebrows among citizens. The Pakistani Army has numerous cases of operating without proper oversight which is immune to scrutiny. This has generated frustration among the citizens and raise questions about their decision making processes and integrity.

The Army’s inability to effectively counter the extremism and terrorism within and outside the country has been the major cause of its falling reputation. This has even raised allegations against Pakistani Army raising and funding these militant organisations resulting in country facing the terrorism menace. The failure in eliminating these threats has led to many questions against Pakistani Army’s effectiveness and strategy in combating extremism. The recent case of Imran Khan and attacks on military HQs and senior officer’s residence clearly shows the frustration and agitation of the citizens towards the Pakistani Army. The declining reputation of the Pakistani Army among its own citizens has created serious implications for Pakistan’s political stability and national unity. The lack of trust in the Army has undermined social cohesion, weakened democracy and hindered the nation’s progress. The Pakistani Army needs to take concrete steps towards ensuring civilian supremacy, respecting human rights and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability. They would have to look thoroughly within the establishment and take remedial measures accordingly if they want to regain the confidence of the citizens and contribute towards a stronger nation.​

People in Pakistan Lost Trust in Army​

 
Correction, people are not losing trust in army. They have already lost it.
That’s the thing, this doesn’t affect army which is stepping inside more ventures like Agri etc.

Army is not affected since it’s not a political party which has become the current perception. It may hold the strings, but it doesn’t need support in ways through which a political party stays afloat.

The recruiting process could hurt it but the inflation situation means that public will still join army. And if that dwindles somehow, army is thinking towards automation of many systems to reduce man power. The examples from past show that army increases firepower and mobility to compensate for manpower.

Gen Whisky is an illegal Thief of Army, as for bringing IK back do a free & fair election
let the people decide.

Its not the job of Army thief to interfere in politics.
You can just burn your blood over it, nothing else you can do.

Ulta Bhi latak jayo - Army will do what it thinks is necessary.

Most comments based on emotions rather than reality. The people still support the Rank and file of the army but a few generals in key positions are destroying the image and respect of the institution. These individuals think they know what's best for Pakistan 🇵🇰 but unfortunately they are absolutely wrong. It is the era of social media and people awareness has increased manifolds. No one listens to ptv or Pakistan radio propaganda anymore. They will make their own minds as to what's right or wrong.
 
Does it affect Army ? Don’t really think so. Because army doesn't belong to Pakistan.
Army belongs to Pakistan and Army will do what it thinks is best for Pakistan, but you can think what you want.

Your hatred and negativity doesn’t affect Army too. Let go of it, you are only burning your blood uselessly.

Army has become a party in corruption. I have only this issue with army. Not more.
But the way other corrupt people will be treated, so will the army. No hard feelings, neither soft.

Why the lower ranks than generals are not raising their voices, where are the medium to medium upper Colonel's, brigadiers, majors, captains whose numbers are bigger, they are not conveying the message, the pulse of the nation to the seniors like liet. Generals, major generals, and top ranks.

Yes it rots from the top, and others are part to it. The sepoy and soldiers are not in the decision making, they can be given the benefit of doubt.

Not the medium to upper ranks.
