Chief has reasons for making decision. He has the authority and the power to do so, which he exercises. Its an abuse for some, and its the correct decision for others. Depends on a person's own perception. Army is not democracy however decisions are taken on many accounts, not just on baseless emotions or personal gain. An example of personal gain is what Ayub, Zia Musharraf etc did. Musharraf based his decision on threat to Army leadership as not being allowed to land the aircraft, but later the whole fiasco turned towards personal gain. I am interested to see how Bajwa plays it out, will he go in November,get another extension or put martial law.Nice write up, Bro. I am thankful.
I shall try to be precise and cover your points.
1. When we say Army we generally mean chief, and select confidants. Chief abuses army power of discipline for political gain. This time bajwa used Army power to throw an elected govt, the patience has given away. It is simple sedition. Indication came at Islamabad security dialogue when he went against govt policy. IK should had fired him. Now whole country facing consequences.
If there is proof that Bajwa threw the an elected government away, I would be interested to see it. Then one of the brave PDF members here can also take legal action against Bajwa instead of the usual regurgitation reminiscent of journalist's analysis videos.
This is a good thing, it shows that young men dont fall to propaganda against Army. Every officer defends, not just a captain. If any (senior/junior) officer isnt doing his duty, the checks on balances on him reported through different reporting systems destroy his OEI and ACR. If somebody thinks there is are no eyes or ears on generals, then he is deaf n blind. Generals positions/commands are the most sensitive ones. They carry a lot of secretive reports and data that has no excuse to be compromised at any point in time.2. Young men join army by choice. Once become captain which is grade 17 salary plus extra benefits (and move up in higher ranks/grades) which they deserve because they defend.
Plots should increase, never decrease. The rewards for, being posted in far flung areas, away from families, in the middle of war zone, in front of enemy fire, in sub zero or above 60'c temperatures, while managing a force lesser in strength and sometimes inferior in equipment, should be handsomely compensated, not miserly. And yes, I know its officer/soldier duty to do that so they have to do it, which is why Army realizes it and treats its ranks as humans so gives them plots and houses. In a private sector, they would make you do all the job, then chop your legs and take the credit.2. Plots at retirement are not a fair game. There is a race in society to get plots and houses. Army , police, judiciary, politicians, beurocrats get plots at the expense of an ordinary Pakistani.
3. An AUDIT must be done of all DHA's. Everyone must return 2nd plot.
Police and judiciary still cannot stop the corruption within the ranks. They don't have FIU and CMI sniffing around them like bloodhounds. Don't compare Army to such a corrupt law system and yeah I have been part of the 'black coat' system.
Like I said, lets talk proofs first. Even if proofs aren't present, Bajwa is hopefully retiring in November, he is the least of your worries. How would it feel like to be slaves to Maryam , Bilawal, Hamza and other politicians. They would stick around, they arent going anywhere.4. Bajwa has sent country backwards, he desperately sticking to his wrongs, and Army getting fall out. He should resign or forced to resign.
COAS is an emperor in some form. He only needs to give an order to be obeyed. That is how Army operates. Nawaz, Zardari, Bilawal etc are above law. An industrialist and a businessman are above law. Hell, I can buy law in few lac Rs. That makes me above law. So what law are you talking about lol.5. Reforms are must in Army, current CoAS has literally become emperor by abusing discipline of the army. No one above country and law.
From a common man to the top leader - everybody is violating it. The whole chain, top to bottom. Lets say bajwa is violating law and constitution, then the 22 crore others are also doing. Bajwa is also product of the same system like other 22 crore. I however dont think that Bajwa violated law or constitution.6. By violating law and constitution we are becoming failed state.
7. It does not matter what Indians and other enemies say, they will do what enemies do, country has to run under law and constitution for justice, and political stability.
Kher hay, I can also reply when I get time.Sorry, response became long, but there is so much to say. I shall end here.
