ISLAMABAD: A military coup in Pakistan has become inevitable as the country is fast descending into chaos because of the "failure" of the political leadership, some top commanders feel. They reportedly aired their views during the last Corps Commanders' meeting held in Rawalpindi on September 8, but were snubbed by army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
A "few participants" in the meeting had raised the issue of an army takeover, The News daily reported on Wednesday, quoting its sources. The Inter-Services Public Relations had "issued no press release at the end of the meeting", the report said.
However, the daily also quoted an unnamed senior military official as denying that the military takeover issue was discussed, saying it was not true. The daily quoted sources as saying that "a few participants of the meeting thought a military takeover was the only way to steer the country out of multiple crises, as the political leadership has failed the masses" .
Kayani, together with some other commanders, "urged restraint and patience, saying the civilian government should be given more time to tackle the issues" , the report said.
