COAS can't do any thing without PM political support.Come out of General Syndrome.I hope u remember how COAS and Army seek political support even for Zarb e Azb.PM Nawaz sharif has a big role in developing good relations with Afghanistan.Army General can destroy country single handedly but can't save it.

Oh so, here we have a [HASHTAG]#Patwari[/HASHTAG] who says Gen was seeking help from PM during Zarb E Azb. I believe PM Nawaz was not even ready for Zarb E Azb. What about National Action Plan? Military Courts? Karachi Operation? You can see a tension on Nawaz's fore head for it.

Youthia Gen can't save the country on its own.Yes he can destroy it which our wafadar generals have done it in the past successfully.In Zarb e azb also PM Nawaz called APC for consensus.Other political parties have some reservations on that if u remember.Militery courts issue PM said in APC "we have to agree on it now I am providing u the written draft.read it.We can not afford to loose time now"..So come out of Army general syndrome and see the reality.If Army General is so much powerful then why they want parliament to stand with them.Army says that without peoples support no army can win the war.So political support is very important.Musharaf also did so many operation but what happened? He failed because people were against him and don't have a political legitimacy.

Nawaz Sharif was not in a mood to conduct Zarb-e-Azab against his fellow terrorists.. It was COAS who took the decision after Karachi airport attack. Moreover, It was COAS who had been to Afghanistan at least 3 times during this operation. Please stop giving him the credit.

Yea and a democrat can save the country by sending a peti of mangoes to the enemy country who at the time is roaring at you. A democrat like Nawaz Sharif can save the country by ordering your force to withdraw from captured enemy positions back in Kargil War when you are about to win it just because US and India said to do it. A democrat like Nawaz Sharif can save the country when there 1200+ deaths in Karachi and the PM goes to visit, appreciates Sindh Government and K-Electric instead of punishing them.

A democrat like Nawaz Sharif orders his mob to attack the Supreme Court Of Pakistan back in 1999 and than dis owns it despite of the video proofs and all the media. and much more.

If this is democracy, I am good with that evil Dictatorship. I won't even like to spit on this democracy. Lets see who favors my opinions.
