مدت میں اضافہ نومبر2016میں آنے والے نئے آرمی چیف سے کیا جائے،فوجی قیادت،جنرل راحیل توسیع نہیں چاہتے،ذرائع وزیراعظم آفس فوٹو: فائل

اسلام آباد: وفاقی حکومت نے چیف آف آرمی اسٹاف کی مدت ملازمت میں رسمی طور پر ایک سال کااضافہ کرتے ہوئے اسے3 سال سے 4 سال کرنے کی تجویزکے بارے میں حال ہی میں سرگرمی سے غوروخوص کیاہے اوراس سلسلے میں بلاواسطہ تجاویزمتعلقہ دفاترکو بھجوائی گئی ہیں ۔

وزیراعظم نوازشریف کے آفس کے قریبی ذرائع نے نام ظاہر نہ کرنے کی شرط پرکہاکہ یہ تجویزغیررسمی طور پر اعلیٰ فوجی حکام کے سامنے رکھی گئی تھی جس پر موجودہ فوجی قیادت نے مشورہ دیاکہ حکومت اس تجویز پرعملدرآمد نومبر2016 میں آنیوالے نئے آرمی چیف کی مدت ملازمت بڑھا کرکرے۔ذرائع نے دعویٰ کیاکہ آرمی چیف جنرل راحیل شریف نے وفاقی حکومت کوموثر انداز میں آگاہ کر دیاہے کہ وہ اپنے عہدے کی مدت میں توسیع نہیں چاہتے۔

آرمی چیف کی مدت ملازمت میں توسیع کولیکرمیڈیا میں کئی افواہیں زیرگردش ہیں۔ آرمی چیف کی ملازمت میںتوسیع کی روایت جنرل پرویزمشرف نے ڈالی تھی جنھوں نے خودکو 2001سے2008تک توسیع دی۔جنرل اشفاق پرویزکیانی کی مدت میں بھی توسیع کی گئی۔یہ معاملہ عوامی بحث کا بھی حصہ رہا ہے جبکہ معاشرے کے کئی حصوں نے اس تجویزکی حمایت بھی کی ہے تاہم دفاعی ماہرین کو یقین ہے کہ جنرل راحیل شریف ملک کودرپیش مسائل پرتوجہ مرکوز کیے ہوئے ایک تاریخی مثال قائم کررہے ہیں اور بظاہر وہ ایسی کوئی مثال قائم کرنے میں دلچسپی رکھنا پسندنہیں کرینگے جسے اداروں کی مضبوطی کیلیے غیرصحتمندانہ قراردیا جائے۔

جنرل راحیل کودہشت گردوں کیخلاف شمالی وزیرستان میں آپریشن ضرب عضب شروع کرنے اور سول حکومت کیساتھ بہترین تعلقات قائم کرنے کی وجہ سے عوامی حلقوں میں قدرکی نگاہ سے دیکھا جاتا ہے۔کراچی میں آپریشن اور امن کی بحالی کاکریڈٹ بھی انھیں ہی دیاجاتا ہے۔انھوں نے فوج کے اندرخوداحتسابی کا نظام قائم کیا اور وہ اپنے پیشروؤں کیلیے اعلیٰ روایات چھوڑکرجائیں گے۔
Government has sent suggestion to Army that COAS tenure should be made 4 years starting from COAS General Raheel Shareef. The massive popularity of COAS General Raheel Shareef has made government thinking of what to do and they have come up with this suggestion.

if true then in my opinion it shows PM has grown out of his army phobia . Its a sign of confidence in armed forces from civilian govt...good work
 
GOVT IS THINKING ABOUT DOING IT . HE DON'T WANT EXTENSION SO WHICH PART U DIDN'T GET?
Understood everything. If you re-read my post, I was simply answering fellow PDF members. Which part did you not understand of me answering just those posters? I wasn't making a comment over the news. Sharing my views and answering.

RAHEEL SHARIF tenure must be extended..........................:pakistan:
 
Man , just make him 5 Star General aka Field Marshall & let the new COAS come & the process won't stop.
It is easy as that
 
Are you seriously that stupid or deliberately trolling? - They are talking about extending the tenure of the OFFICE of COAS from 2016 onwards. Gen Raheel has refused any extension.

Why? He is doing such a good job. Why shouldnt his tenure be extended.. ?
 
3 years is too short a period for a 4-star general to implement his vision.

A general is not there to implement visions. That's a politicians job. A general's job is to make sure the armed forces keep the country secure.
 
The moment raheel gets an extension, he will become yet another incompetent like kiyani, musharaf,zia yahya.

Giving him extension clearly means a lack of confidence in the rest of generals.
 
Switching to a 4 yr period is a good idea. I am sure Raheel Sharif will accept this as routine as opposed to extraordinary extension of service.

He's karan loooose motions.. Soon he will arm Afghanistan with nujes to target Pak... Jaaaai
 
Can you guys read? Government is talking about the office of the COAS. Not Raheel himself.

It is widely believed that RS will deny any extension and will leave his office on time.

Yes politicians already implemented. .vision of zardari, vision of Altaf Hussain. .........not enough for you?

Also with more years he can have more preferred generals under him for a coupe.

I think it should stay at. Army is an institution that is not elected. It has not promised civilians any vision. Mostly it's "let's get x jets, raise income" and so forth. Military is less complex than govt because of specific duties, protecting the nation. The govt does foreign stuff, national stuff such as everyone is fed, state develops and so forth.

Militias, It's run by many generals collectively. With history of coups in Pakistan (even last year we would have had one of it was some other general), 3 years is best and 6 years in state of war (extension).

There should be no tenure. Just hire and fire when ever you want. Power should always stay in civilian hands.
 
3 years are enough to groom a successor. Anyone becoming a Lt Gen should be good enough to become COAS
 
Nawaz govt will not mind extending his tenure as long as their govt is safe till the next election. Because, they don't know the next General might kick them out. They will take the credit for eliminating terrorism in the next elections for Sure. So, extending Gen.Raheel's tenure is in Nawaz govt's interest but in reality, it's a need of Pakistan.
