our boys restored pride of pakistan and pride of PAF. they went in to tell the indians not to mess with us and do not take us weak. simple is that. credit does go to IK. if there had been zardari or nawaz no such action would have been taken by pak and pak would have been humiliated all over the world. remember what zardari said when indians did two pak air space violations in 2008 and we also know the response of NS after the indian so called surgical strike in 2016 which according to neutral analysts was failed but they did crossed LOC at some points. such type of leaders greatly gave the confidence to the indian govt an military that last week they bombed KPK. but now they have learnt their lessons.
What our boys can or cannot do is not under question.
Neither i need a comparison with Nawaz or Zardari. No one besides Allah knows, what they would have done in given situation, but IMO, nothing is more wrong than worst!
If PTI officials still insist for comparative example, than admissible examples for me are those of Pervez Musharraf, Ayyub Khan, Zia ul Haq,.....
Coming back to the core argument......
Sorry i repeat, the ground reality is that our boys went in --without the permission to shoot.
As i understand, they should only be sent to enemy area, when there exist actionable intel. of target.
They may miss their mission on technical grounds... but not deliberately, especially when the target is of high value, as in example Bipin A$$. Such would amount to treason.
I'm flexible, in case mission is aborted when there's a hint of civilians at the place of target. but surely not spare any military installation and /or strategic infrastructure.
Unfortunately, what the scene has appeared is as grave as treason on part of those, who had such information and played part to save high value target.
I move forward with understanding, ruling party cannot work one minute or spend one penny for the promotion of party or persons therein. (also violation of party act.) Public should be watchful here and i'm public.
State has a FM, who should be qualified & skilled enough to win table talk, otherwise prepare a report for his failure to deliver.
Only than PM should pass the task to other authorities, but if the other authority is CoAS, he can't be micro managed by ANY civilian, on how to conduct a war.
I will not go in technicalities, but theirs enough history to learn.
Yet if a civilian is able to intimidate Captain of army, air, navy, on matters pertaining to their operational duties and/or ethics. I would dispute the leadership of such Captain.
TRUE leader, can't allow misuse of his institution, by means of intimidation of any means and authority. Even more so, when all rules are bent for the personal glorification of an individual!
If (unfortunately) civilian boss is a scum, soldier should either put down his own stick and leave the theater with honor, while his personal and professional dignity is still intact, OR more brave act would be to tell such scum civilian boss, he is no more his boss and neither of anyone else in his country.
If Pakistan is not a banana republic, there must be a JIT to investigate the whole episode and what followed after.
Fair enough.
