Armed forces running 33 petrol pumps, 62 shopping centres

[M. Sarmad]

The basic argument remains: Even if only within cantonment areas, are such commercial activities appropriate for the military forces?

Living in another world , you seem to be unaware of the stark reality on the ground !!!

Nothing new here. Has been already discussed to death: Pak Armed Forces Non-Military Projects

This argument is kinda getting old and lame.

He should take care of American soldier's PTSD problems. None of his concern what PA do or does. He isn't paying taxes to GoP to raise such childish arguments.

Of course, the stark reality remains that the Pakistani military has huge business concerns that place genuine civilian commercial activities at a disadvantage to the detriment of both.

I have heard sarkari mulazim are not allowed to run businesses. Why Soldiers are running patrol pumps and shopping centres?

 

[Jango]

A couple of questions:

1- Do the shopping centre also include CSD or does it exclude it altogether?

2- By schools, does the paper mean Army Public School System?

3- Are these business being run directly by serving Armed Forces personnel or is it done by retired personnel or Askari foundation?

The information in the OP was submitted by the Defence Ministry in its written reply to the National Assembly. The details that you ask for could probably be explained further and would help.

So this is your "Evidence" ???
Try harder my friend , A book written by Ayesha Sadiqa is nothing more than an opinion of a western educated woman on PA ..

Do you know anything about CMA ?? It is a civilian establishment meant for internal Audit (It is answerable to finance division of ministry of defence) . And do you know anything about DAC and PAC ?? Army is not above accountability



Nothing is hidden from the ministry of defence i.e Federal Govt. And Army does not run "business" outside cant .

Do you know anything at all about the Army ?

anyway, you got something to say, do say to minister of defence who found out about these businesses being run by the army.

and do help yourself with scholarly book written by Dr Aisha Saddiqa exposing inside out of the army, you claim to know all about

Have you read the book Sir? She does present details.

he is just running from pillar to post, desperately !
