The imploding Pakistan and the
booming India
The Pakistan Army generals
have repeatedly proven that the Army can only defeat its own defenceless people
and not the enemies on the frontiers. So, the oversized Pakistan Army that
usually consumes most of the national budget lost four wars against India. The
huge spending on the Army could only add to the pompous lifestyles and the
retirement doles for its officers, but not in enhancing the fighting skills and
spirit. In 1971, the Pakistan Army made the ugliest record in the whole length
of Muslim history by surrendering to an Army of the idolaters. In that fateful
war in East Pakistan, the Pakistan Army displayed their readiness only for a
quick surrender. They disliked a tough fight and martyrdom for the country.
More than 90 thousand Pakistanis were taken as captives.
In 2014, the tiny military
wing of Hamas could stand for 7 weeks in Gaza against a huge Israeli air and
land attack, but the arrogant Pakistan Army couldn’t stand for 2 weeks against
India. The Pakistan Army is the most secularised institution in Pakistan. All
cantonments are the enclaves of secularised western culture. All old icons of
the Army were raised and trained by the British colonialists. This secular Army
always stood as the formidable bulwark against any effort of Islamisation of
the so-called Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The Muslim Family Law was not
annulled even during British rule, not even in secular India. But it was
annulled in Pakistan by its secular President General Ayyub Khan.
The secularists never fight
for a place in paradise. Instead, their prime concern is to make this life
fully furnished for heavenly pleasures. And the Pakistani people are compelled
to pay for that. So, the national budget has no allocation of money for
adequate healthcare, education, and housing for the poor people, but gives
enough money for the Army. To enhance the comforts of the generals, every
Pakistani general is awarded with a huge residential plot cum business plot in
the most lucrative areas of the capital and receive other precious
entitlements. So, a Pakistani general retires as a billionaire. In comparison,
an Indian general retires only with a saving of a few lacs of Indian rupees.
India is now a global
economic, political, and military giant. It has enough reasons for the huge
success. India is exclusively ruled by its civil politicians and the Army is
focused only to defend the country. But it is exactly opposite in Pakistan. The
generals of the Pakistan Army are always in a mood to belittle civilians.
Because of arrogance, they think, since they have the power to subjugate the
people, they have also the right to rule them. So, in Pakistan, politics comes
out from the barrels of guns. Therefore, the elected governments are never
allowed by the Army to complete its full tenure. But in India, politics is run
by people’s votes. So, India progresses, but Pakistan continues to
implode. It is an irony that the Pakistan Army shows little wisdom to
understand such a simple arithmetic of progress and failure. They have enough
to learn from neighbouring India. But these arrogant generals have no appetite
to learn.
Only the Army is immune!
In Pakistan, only the Army
is immune. Criticizing its General and protesting in front of its offices is a
heavily punishable crime. Whereas killing dozens of innocent civilians by the
Army men is not a punishable crime at all. Hence, none has been punished for so
many Army killings! They remain immune. Eulogising its own generals and
humiliating even the most imminent civilian patriot has become an Army culture.
Even Fatima Jinnah -the sister of Qaid-e-Azam was no exception. So, General
Ayyub Khan -the killer of democracy in Pakistan abused her as an Indian agent
and enemy of Pakistan. Whereas in the formative days of Pakistan in 1947, Ayyub
Khan was in the enemy rank as a British servant. Since Fatima Jinnah challenged
Ayyub Khan’s authoritarian rule in the 1964 Presidential election, her life was
made difficult. Her book “My Brother Jinnah” was not allowed to be published.
But in India, the culture
is different. Dr. A.P. J. Abdul Kalam was made the President of India for
helping develop India’s missile technology. But Dr. Abdul Qader Khan -a highly
patriotic Pakistani civilian -who migrated from India was humiliated in front
of the TV camera by a military thug like General Musharraf. But the
contribution of Dr. Abdul Qader Khan is no less than the whole military
strength of the Army. He made nuclear bombs for Pakistan that helped the
country to stand face to face against India on equal footing. In the first 23
years, India made 4 wars on Pakistan. Since Pakistan has a nuclear arsenal,
India couldn’t dare attack Pakistan. Nuclear bombs stand as the greatest
defender for Pakistan. Imran Khan -who earned so much fame internationally for
Pakistan is now facing the same fate by the hands of the Army Mafia.
The Army: the largest terrorist
entity
Since terrorism is defined
by all lexicons as the abuse of force for a political purpose, the Pakistan
Army proves to be the largest terrorist entity in Pakistan. No terrorist group
in Pakistan can match its power and terrorist intention. Instead of focusing
its military might on the defence of the country, the Army is abusing its power
to terrorise the defenceless people. This way the Army generals control
Pakistan’s politics. Like a terrorist gang, on 9 May, the armed Pakistan Army
personnel hijacked Imran Khan from the court premise. They also bit him on his
head. The Supreme Court of Pakistan called the arrest illegal. As a reaction to
such an illegal act by the Army’s rangers, there was an explosion of public
anger on the streets of Pakistan. There were angry demonstrations in front of
the General Army Headquarter (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The angry people burnt the
Core Commander’s House in Lahore. But in Pakistan, an Army building, or an
Army emblem is more sacred than hundreds of people’s lives.
The Pakistan army never
allowed the elected civilians to rule freely. They think that the task of
ruling the country is their exclusive domain cum privilege. They proved to be
incompatible with democracy and the elected civilian rulers. The Army has
literally monopolised the executive political power of the country. Those who
currently rule Pakistan are installed by the Army. These so-called rulers work
only as puppets and the Army generals work as the puppet masters.
A protest in front of the
Army installations is taken as a punishable treason. As if, the army and the
state of Pakistan are synonymous. The Army has decided that those who raised slogans
against the Army and defamed the Army's role would be tried in the military
court. So far, not a single military personnel has been killed or injured by
the protesters. But 25 unarmed civilians have been killed by the state
apparatus. But the killers stand immune. Not a single killer has been brought
to justice. Moreover, more than 10 thousand people -along with hundreds of
women are languishing in jails. Their support for Imran Khan is labelled as a
punishable crime.
In the past, more
Pakistanis were killed by the Pakistan Army than were killed by the foreign
enemies like India. In the name war on terror, the Pakistan Army was a US
partner in killing more than 70 thousand Pakistanis. In 1971, they showed
their massive killing power in East Pakistan. They showed that genocidal power
in Balochistan too. How an Army can engage in a war on its own people -Pakistan
Army can indeed be a textbook case on that.
The rule of law is dead!
