Perhaps basics of the law would help. Army cannot requisition itself in aid of civil power. The power that be only (i.e. Sind Government) has the right to call in the army through Fed Government. Army is not responsible for guarding the voting booths/stations unless the government asks for it...

For the nation, of the nation! :pakistan:

I am not against the law of the land working against corruption. I just don't buy into these "easy" solutions i.e. chop heads off, bring on a murderous revolution etc. etc. We have countries with similar levels of corruption as Pakistan like India, BD etc. that are still moving forward. It's...

These are all silly fairy tales to dumb down masses even further with false promises of a solution. A story of this sort is alluded to Vlad the Impaler (also known as Count Dracula) who murdered a whole lot of aristocracy after inviting them to a meal. Despite that happening, Romania is a...

Well he was dialed in the wrong area because we benefit more from the $10B trade with the US vs. getting some limited economic and military assistance. "Now this title is irrelevant as we very minimum diplomatic and economic relationship with the US."

Pakistan's. That is how the world operates. Otherwise why would the Americans court Gulf countries and they in turn the US? Or for that matter Turkey courting both The US, Russia, and also the Gulf? Or for that matter India. Wherever the money is, you go. Always was the case, always will...

There is a distinction in all this talk about "begging". Now "asking" is bad but our ask is for "loans" that are returned with interest paid and not aid. So we aren't beggars in true sense of the word. Greeks and Argentinians (first world and second world respectively) have taken FAR bigger...

Love it. I wish our leaders could utter this. It should be the extended hand that should pull back first instead of the giving hand saying, enough! As hideous as this may sound, economic hardship is the only thing that will wake this nation up to rely on itself and hold our leaders...

Please, let's give this "its all army's fault" narrative a break. It's getting old and has lost currency in my mind. Unfortunately for a certain demographic in Pakistan, this has a lot of appeal. You want the army to not engage in double-dealing and furthering the state's security interests...
