111 brigade needs to find some real job for itself. About time President and Prime minister are protected by secret service style, armed civilian force. About time that premier intel agency for INTERNAL security is IB not ISI. ISI should focus on Afghanistan, India and other international challenges. IB should have been reporting to PM about plans of horse trading in Sindh house. ISI is controlled by the chief, if ISI is deep into politics, Army becomes political. No staff officer with PM, secret service style civilian force. Centre of power is to be elected civilian leadership. But for that. Clean of house, cleaning of judiciary, election commission and a permanent fix to free fair election(computerised) are essential. We need reforms on mass level.

I used to support army people training the police, IB, FIA to be more competent but 2022 made all Pakistanis realise that they're all the same. As soon as the they'll sit in the chair they forget about Pakistanis but only care about their self interests. Like you've mentioned Pakistan needs a powerful civilian security agency, which is powerful enough to protect the PM, President, yes the PM might be Nawaz Sharif but the men with boots are the same.
I can also understand civilians will sell Pakistan off and make wrong policies but for that Pakistan needs to make a powerful security, Economy, Education body where the PM, Cabinet, President, Army Chief, Judges can sit to discuss important matters and then release a statement.
For example if the army says we need to deal with the militants with force because they will be too strong in 5 years but political leadership due to corruption does not want to then let them meet in the powerful body and discuss and give their points to the awaam and the parliament. Let them be accountable to the nation, if Indeed they become powerful then civilian government should be voted out, if civilian government has better idea then share it. Security experts must also be permanently part of the bodies, they should have the research in front of them. General Raheel Sharif had to use danda to start the military operations because the government couldn't care less. So at times army is correct and at times civilians are correct. The judges would not prosecute the terrorists so army had to set up military courts. They were right in many situations.
To be honest Pakistan army was the last straw for us, we all know the civilian government were involved in corruption, they failed to make any policy to protect Pakistan from extremism, they even failed to make any good policy to deal with power shortage ie should have known back in the 1990s that in a decade we will need dams because of shortage. We lost billions due to electricity shortage, we lost billions due to WOT, our governments fail to make long term policies on development, education, security, healthcare. After 5 years every new government changes the policies. We must have a system where new government sits with experts to discuss policies before implementing it, the government can take charge but the effective policy must not change. For example the new government cannot say we will not make new dams but will spend the money on laptops. Somehow they must be held accountable.
Army has done amazing things for Pakistan but the governments have failed.
What is the solution?
