Role of Army in national affairs

摘要

"The continuous intervention by the army has derailed democracy in Pakistan — Army has mutilated the constitution — Army must go back to the barracks. Army — ". Hmmm, sounds familiar! Sure, we often hear the politicians castigating the military for all the ills of the country and shrugging off their shoulders for their own follies. Their oft-repeated excuse for their inadequacies is that democracy is allowed to nurture, to take its roots here in Pakistan. Every Tom Dick and Harry, in a bid to prove himself/herself the biggest champion of democracy issues statements crying his/her heart out by blaming the Army for everything wrong in the country without even remotely admitting any of their own follies.
