Only one word... Dedicated to Gen Raheel Sharif
"Teri yaad aayi, tere jaanay ke baad"
You are right yo an extent tht he didnt finish... But atleast he took some very good initiatives in the country for peace...esp karachi operation and balochistan... Just look...at the pace of and activities of Rangers in karachi when Gen Raheel was COAS, and now when Gen Qamar Bajwa is COAS? Could any one imagine..tht there could be a raid on 90? It was a very bold step.. Uske baad se hi strikes ka culture khatam hona shuru hua... Only a karachiitte can appreciate the effects of karachi operation during Gen Raheel Sharif's era... Strike khatam hogayeen bilkol.. MQM was cornered..
Then Rangers arrested Dr Asim which was another very bold step... Yes... He couldnt be convicted...but then Gen Raheel wasnt sitting sitting in court rooms... He could do only as much.. During his time, situation got much better in Balochistan too
Atleast intent of Gen Raheel Sharif was very clear... He frequently talked abt nexus betwen coruption and terrorism.. What I mean to say is...tht atleast his intent was very clear..on corruption, terrorism... He took some bold initiatives too.. But yes couldnt finish them.. But how much could you do in 3 yrs? Atleast he made his intentions clear.. You could see, fear in some politicians and corrupt elements faces, then... And now look..how relaxed they are, since he has gone... Within framework democracy Gen Raheel did ..as much as he could..and took some very bold steps..which were otherwise unimaginable.. Atleast Gen Raheel made it very clear tht he HAS problems with corruption
Regd Mush... Theres one major difference... Musharraf had all state and executve powers.. Gen Raheel did not...
People here know...tht I was much critical of Gen Raheel Sharif during his last days..and have talked many times on this....tht he should have been more strict on dawn leaks.. But then what happened now..on dawn leaks......Gen Raheel looks like an angel now....
Have you ever heard...Gen Bajwa talk even once abt nexus between corruption and terrorism? Give me, one initiative tht he took? Rangers came in punjab..but WITHOUT any powers.... It can do operations in punjab, only in aid pf punjab police, lollll....meaning no powers at all, loll.. Has there been anyone hi profile arrest in Pakistan since Gen Bajwa became COAS?
And to top it all..now there are news of contacts between establishment and Zardari.. Now I am afraid , tht what if gains of Gen Raheel Sharif's era are reversed? I was also critical of Gen Raheel, but now he looks like MUCH MUCH better
Thts why i say...
