Pakistan Gets A New Jinnah Under Military Uniform ,To further Divide Pakistan , People Get What They Deserve !
Rajiv Upadhyay
To anyone who thought that the first native army chief, the Sandhurst Academy Trained , General Ayub Khan has shaped the values of Pakistan army and has left a legacy of a modern secular and efficient war machine , the recent speech of COAS Asim Munir, to a gathering of overseas , will be a shocker . Just as Pakistan cricket team has gone to dogs after it got involved with Tablighi Jamat and started reading namaz before match. Similarly , now its army led for the first time by a Hafiz, General has sounded its death knell .
General Munir repeated vehemently what were famous Jinnah words ‘ hindus and muslims are two separate nations with different food, heroes, worship methods etc ‘ . One thought that in contrast Nawaz Sharif ‘s ‘ same aloo gosht on both sides of border ‘ and comradery with Vajpayee had buried the past and India and Pakistan could now move to make their relations like ‘ old US & Canada ‘ relations . Irrespective of the immature slogan ‘ Modi ka yaar hai gaddar hai gaddar hai ‘ in POK elections by the overgrown child Bilawal Bhutto , could be an aberration . General Bajwa was the first General with vision who worked relentlessly to improve Indo Pak relations but at the last moment Imran Khan developed cold feet and backed out . General Kayani too has realised in the end that India was not the main enemy of Pakistan .
General Raheel Sharif was possibly the best soldier COAS . He was a thorough professional .His operation Zarb e Azab and in Karachi brought great relief to Pakistani people and he possibly is the most respected General by soldiers . But he kept aloof from dirty pakistani politics .
General Asim Munir’s ill thought speech will confirm to international community that the ‘ Terrorist Pakistan’ is beyond redemption . Overseas Pakistanis will definitely not open purse strings without peace with India . Industrialists like Muhammed Mansha would be aghast by this turn of event by a nation whose army actively protected terrorists like Osama , Hafiz Saeed etc much to the chagrin of international community and investors.
America may need Pakistan in case in does not get Bagram base in Afghanistan . It may throw some more crumbs . China Saudi Arabia , Qatar and UAE will not give any big aid to Pakistan . Now Pakistanis are the most hated ( not by jealousy) community in the world . Ultimately it will just be surviving at an ever decreasing standard of living till it reaches level of say Somalia .
For India Pakistan is a forgotten chapter of past and we want no contact with it !
Next government and the next COAS chosen by Gen Munir will be worse .
A nation gets what it deserves ,
