Why should we be thankful for army to prosecute three criminals for abusing the trust of the whole nation ?, what kind of thinking is that? Remember its the same army who named Yahya khan (general) "tiger" for losing half the pakistan , wake up my friend this army thinks pakistan is their hoar and they can rape her whenever they want
BTW, Yahya Khan is not the famed "tiger" referred to in many 71 war discussions.
It was Gen Niazi who was nicknamed the tiger by his British officer after he covered himself in glory on the Burma front, fighting the Japanese Imperial Army in World War 2.
It was quite humiliating to see this tiger surrendering east Pakistan to India, however one must remember the negative role played by all the stakeholders in Pakistan which brought about this unfortunate schism between east and west Pakistan.
It was not just the military which contributed to this sad day, people like Zulfiqar Bhutto placed their personal interests before the national interest and created a political standoff despite the clear democratic win of Mujeeb.
Bhutto famously threatened to break the legs of his party leaders if anyone of them attended the parliament session.
Needless to say, such nonsensical views of western democratic forces gave little confidence to the east Pakistani people who were already upset over a few things.
Anyhow, coming back to the court martial.
Let us see what happens before crying foul play.
It is indeed a big step forward that these big fish are being tried, let us wait and see the outcome of this court martial.
The military system has a lots of checks on the soldiers and officers, however there is a growing feeling helped by a lot of observations (Crore commander ring any bell?) that the Generals are mostly above checks and have a lot of avenues to further their bank balance, unless few examples are set.
Maybe this court martial is a much needed one to curb this growing tendency?
I hope so.
