Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
To be truly functional and durable, even eternal, a state doesn’t just need a leader, a party or an ideology. It needs functional and robust institutions.
Court-martial proceedings were initiated against Hameed last year. Brigadiers Naeem Fakhar and Ghaffar served under Hameed during his controversial tenure. All three are in military custody.
The ARFC is meant to be a dedicated force for conventional missile & rocket systems, & will include cruise missiles, rockets, ballistic missiles & Pakistan’s planned hypersonic missiles.
Countering insurgency needs the Pakistan Army to demonstrate a political will that ties leaders at the centre with those in the borderlands. But it may not have the imagination.
Speaking at black-tie dinner in Tampa, Pakistan army chief Asim Munir, ThePrint has learnt, also said, ‘we will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does so, we will destroy it with ten missiles’.

Thanks for the article sir. The way the Pakistani army has killed Bengali Muslims in the formerly East Pakistan and is now killing Sindhi, Balochi and Pashtun Muslims prove that they are not Islamic at all – just an army as conk as the Sangh Parivar in their hatred of the other.
Nothing new here, everyone knows Pakistan is basically a military force that has a country, not the other way around.
That being said they have been more adept and cunning at navigating international relations compared to India. What has India received for all it’s brown nosing and simping of the West and Israel? Pakistan knows this plan will never materialize to reality and so everyone plays lip service. As for the lack of coming to the aid of the Palestinians, that is not a uniquely Pakistani issue. Except for a handful of Shia, no one in the so-called Ummah has raised even one finger in their defence.
The hawk’s view, that there can never be friendship between India and Pakistan, is well supported by almost unbroken eighty years of recent history. However, we should consider whether a more stable relationship, one which greatly reduces the possibility of war with either Pakistan and China, is in India’s abiding national interest. Indian foreign policy is not in a good spot at the moment. Our beloved Editor can read many things which I feel diffident to pen.
