While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
The article is a cut and paste of one-sided comments in newspapers. Hussain Haqqani is an analyst who tries to blackmail to get maximum benefits from various sources including ISI and if fails then writes against them. He is one who is getting the share from Obamas $ 50 million spent on Media Terrorism. The real of a mess in Pakistan is feudalism and monopolization of political parties. Look at PPP; only Buttos could lead, PML by Shareef family only, ANP by Wali family, JUI by the son of Mufti Mahmood could lead. They all try to convince the people to adore these personalities and spent a huge amount of public money on idolizing them. There are many investors who invest in these personalities and become MNA, MPA, and Senator according to the level of investment. It seems all others are nuts. Haqqani is one of them. No political party is a democratic party and none of them hold a fair election in the party. The ticket holders are investors and they look at the return on investment. These parties have a complete mechanism to win the election. They favor few of their workers in government jobs, amenity plots, agricultural plots, income tax evasion and exemptions (The list is big). The recent example is the appointment of Mr. Wathra as SBP governor who helped Zardari to grab 2 sugar mills of Deman group; first as head of HBL Loan Department, then Group Head of NBP and then Deputy Governor. These criminals have never allowed making political parties as institutions to nurture leader who is from the people, work for the people and get the only little amount of commission for their living. ARMY is also from Pakistanis citizens. When politicians are doing it some of the Generals also did it but after coming out of the ARMY. They did not ruin the institution. The solution is in making political parties real and strong institutions for the welfare of the people first and then for themselves.
The corruption charges against the Pakistani politicians is pittance compared to the huge corruption indulged in by the Pakistani Army Generals…..but who will bell the cat..???.
These Army Generals inorder to project themselves as the saviour of the nation has changed and distorted the facts of the Indo-Pak war. They have not allowed the truths to come out. The people in Pakistan still believe that their Army had won the 1965 war against India whereas it had lost it to India.
Dear;
It seems the article was written with a set biased view on things “Pakistan”.
When you are sitting outside things seem different and one can choose what ever view they like to see.
Ground realities inside Pakistan are that Nawas’s I’ll gotten money got exposed by panama papers leaks. And opposition leader Imran Khan pushed the govt for investigation and in the end the case was taken by Supreme Court of Pakistan. Where Nawas was unable to provide proof of innocence. So he got convicted. Which had nothing to do with so called writers army intervention.
So get facts right before you write a crap article.
Article is based on Facts & Truths. Well done Mr. Hussain Haqqani Sahab. Please come forward to Liberate Pakistan from these 2% group’s Hijackers & Occupiers of Pakistan.
Excellent and very articulated. The military establishment of Pakistan raps popular politicians in Pakistan everyday through paid TV anchors. A very disappointing situation prevails in Pakistan.
Excellent write up. Men in Uniform are the sole reason of 1971 when millions of Bengalis were killed and hundreds of thousands of women were raped. Repeating same will result same.

Nothing on PTI, seems you missed something here. Is PTI is the next selected one by the establishment or its real public demand?
