General Keramat (Retired) Speaks out!!!

"General Karamat urges checks on Military role" published in Dawn, May 5, 2007.

Its about time someone from inside the Army spoke military over burden role in the affairs of the country. Reminding people of the military governement which ushered in for a period of three years mandated by the superior courts of the country has already overstayed.

This current judicial crisis in the country is the right opportunity to put a leash on the army junta which has now corporate interests in all the spheres---wherever there is a buck to made.

Providing infratructure for our increasing population, human resource development, the gap between economic performance and poverty alleviation, civil-military relations, governance, and extremisim, are some of the issues he very rightly pointed out are the fruits of the existing setup!

Not to mentioned the miserable failures of our law enforcing and intelligence agencies to take care of the extremism hatchet unattended only points fingers at the state showing its lethargy in managing the issues or just puting a blind eye on it.

Military is power hungry and has corporate interests. But it should not affect the stability of our country at the expense of what? Lets all the stakeholders decide once for all to keep a bone for our military junta in the power sharing in such a way that it does not destabilize our country.

This by keeping the presence of military in Supreme Security Council along with politicans in power as well as opposition leaders in both the houses.

Come on people

Lets have our views posted here!

Are we so insensitive?

Suicide bombing and killing innocent people has become a routine in our country. Despite the presence of over a dozen or so intelligence agencies these terrorist groups are continuing their operations unabated.

Our Government is only interested in keeping a grip on the power but seems helpless in maintaining law and order situation.

In a country with ocean of uneducated masses its hard to control tendencies of hopeless youths joining the folds of extremist groups. Thats the kind of escape a confused mind would resort to.

A Graveyard of Intellectuals, Scientists, Scholars, Commerners....but

Pakistan is being blessed with all kind of resources but sane ruling class which only has time for plundering public wealth and taxpayers money to meet their selfish goals.

Its Military used to be professional but I really wonder if they had won any wars against enemies but always try to conquer their own masses.

Beauracracy is corrupt and ineeficient to the bones and is habitual in plundering public exchequer by getting huge commissions in executing developmental projects. They lack professionalism and consider common citizen as their slaves and subservient.

Politicians are the same and are really good in breaking promises and deceiving their vote bank.

I invite all the Citizens and outsider to express and pour their heart out in this blog. I will wait and see when I'll dispear and get killed by the infamous agencies famous for making people disappear.
