Army to come into politics?

[Leader]

Army's work is just the defence of country and ensuring no internal or external conflicts related to defence damage the ecnomony or country.

Entering into politics would weaken the army and divert it's role.

However, in the current situation, nation-building activities are encouraged.

Army's job is to guard borders, device strategies, but decision lies with the government what is internal and external threat and where and where not to use army as a tool.

and army is an instrument, nothing more.

Now a days If you are thinking that you will need ARMY only in Wars so you are totally wrong. those who say that Army is only to defend borders are misleading you. What should the Army do when your Politicians go and sell you country's dignity and makes plans with them how to strike kill the TOP most Army generals. Army does not take part directly in Politics but it just want to bring a government which is not seller of your dignity. And for this reason our soled out Media says Army is taking part in Govt.

 

[The SC]

The Army is an extension of politics it is the garant of the stability of a nation when it is in a bad situation.
The examples are abundant, like Germany's military command in WW2 or France's General Degaule or President Dwight D. Eisenhower For the US.
So the army is part of politics in some very important national security matters.

Yes, Pakistan Army should be involved in politics the reason is because these so called Democratic politicians work only for their master US & make things worse in Pakistan. We can see this today that how PPP, PML-N, MQM, ANP, JUI are taking orders from US & India & they are damaging Pakistan in every possible way.

In short when politicians are all corrupt & it is because of this there is no option for Pak Army but to intervene & check everything, had these politicians been 100% honest to Pakistan then Pak Army & the people of Pakistan couldn't had wanted anything better.

No chance of army in politics. Only possible i court continues campaign against PPPP under the supervision of PMLN supporter chaudry iftikhar.

Army is not supposed to come into politics but in Pakistan the corrut govts have left no other option. Be it PPP or PMLN all are chors & corrupts. IMO even if PTI comes into power & they find it difficult to handle top issues of Pakistan like Corruption, Economy, terrorism, electricity & energy, developments, Kashmir issue, poverty, jobs, Afghanistan issue, etc than they should held elections again. Also i must say there should be 2.5-3 years term instead of half a decade stupid rule, atleast till the time democracy start serving for the interest of Pakistan & Pakistanis gets fruit from it.

Army should never take part in politics. Haven't we learned our lesson already. We have tried the Army several times in the past, and look where we are now

but we can't ignore the progress made by pakistan during the martial laws....

 

[Vassnti]

My first thought when i saw Army to come into politics?

Was did i miss some thing, when did they leave?

 

[Matrixx]

Other countries have armies, Pakistan Army has a country.

That is why they are paying for it

Army's job to provide security to the nation not doing politics.....

 

[Awesome]

do you think army should come into politics???explain your answer if you can??

No.

It's against the constitution. A serving officer cannot contest in elections until he leaves resigns and two years have lapsed since the officers resignation.

 

[Last Hope]

No.

It's against the constitution. A serving officer cannot contest in elections until he leaves resigns and two years have lapsed since the officers resignation.

Well this is not bad either. A retired officer should fight elections, as he has too many years of experience as a leader.

It just doesn't work out. Either you need to join an established political party or do what Imran Khan did, worked at it for 15 years.
