(Shafaq kazmi)
Imran Khan is the leader of a huge party, who is followed by millions of people, who are considered by many to countless youth as their role model, and aspires to follow in his footsteps. But what has been happening for some time and now is very unbearable, our army is our pride, and we love the martyrs of our country immensely because they are great people who sacrifice themselves today for our tomorrow. For every patriotic Pakistani, Pakistan Army is the heartbeat of their heart. A supporter of any political party should refrain from speaking against Pakistan forces on social media or anywhere and should respect the sentiments of patriotic Pakistanis. We are deeply hurt when the supporters of Imran Khan are seen mocking the Pakistan Army on social media, we are hurt when they are seen making laughing reactions to ISPR's post about the martyrs of the country. Due to this the Pakistanis who love the army, along with the families of the martyrs of the country, are also deeply saddened. I don't understand why the army is constantly being criticized since the government of Imran Khan went. Why are propaganda and provocative posts against the army being shared on social media every day? As much as Khan's supporters run trends against the army on Twitter, called "neutrals" and made comments out of the realm of ethics, as a leader, Imran Khan should have explained to his supporters and taught ethics. , because a supporter never rejects the words of his leader but always follows them.
A few days ago, Imran Khan stated Faisalabad. In which he was saying "(Asif Ali) Zardari and Nawaz (Sharif) want to bring their favorite as the next army chief because they have stolen public money, They are afraid that when the patriotic army chief comes, he will ask them about their loot. In any case, the fate of the country should not be in their hands. Army Chief should be based on merit. Whoever is most meritorious should be the next Army Chief. .”
Imran Khan is much older than me and of course, he has a lot of experience. Being a young girl, and a writer, I want to ask some innocent questions to PTI and Imran Khan.
What does Khan want to say in his statement? Didn't all the army chiefs who came earlier come on merit? Khan Sahib,
Who catches people who commit corruption, army or nab? According to you, whoever comes to the army chief in the current government will not be a patriot? Are you not trying to raise a question mark on the efforts and sacrifices of ordinary soldiers, young men standing on the border, and high-ranking officers? Do you think the army needs to get a certificate of patriotism from a politician? Is it possible that the constitution allows a political party or an influential group to decide who is meritorious and qualified to be the army chief? The constitution is supreme and according to the constitution the prime minister has the power to appoint the army chief on the recommendations of the defense ministry, why does PTI want to create uncertainty by violating the constitution and trying to open an unnecessary debate? PTI considered itself a national party, PTI is neither in the government nor in the opposition because they have resigned from the National Assembly, why do they want to sabotage the constitutional process? Why is PTI not following the constitution and law, while PTI is acting as an influencer group instead of behaving like a political group۔۔if PTI wants to resolve or discuss this matter on a political level they have to come to Parliament and discuss it at the floor of parliament rather than making the matter of appointment or extension controversial, PTI must adhere to law and Constitution.
On 14 Apr 2022, DG ISPR Sir Babar Iftikhar during a press briefing reaffirmed that COAS is not seeking any extension he will retire Nov 2022 as scheduled after the official confirmation of retirement, why is PTI creating chaos in domestic politics... Army chief's retirement is Still two months away. I don't think it was right to discuss this issue prematurely, especially when our country is sinking. People came to the streets, people are lying helpless on the streets, inflation is on the rise, people have no food, no water to drink, and people are forced to drink flood water.۔ Khan Sahib, I think at that time we should have listened to the groans of these suffering people, we should have been their voice and taken such steps so that these people would not have been lying helpless on the streets. Khan Sahib, you are an educated, sensible leader, in my opinion, you should have canceled all your political rallies during this difficult time, you should have been the voice of the oppressed in this difficult time.
