Is Army Chief’s Statement In Favor Of Musharraf?

Army Chief General Raheel Sharif’s statement concerning the reputation of the institution yesterday is being taken seriously by news channels and politicians. They gauge that the statement was made in favor of Pervaiz Musharraf after he has been castigated by Khawaja Saad Rafique and Khawaja Muhammad Asif. On the other hand, Saad Rafique has rejected such opinions made by the news channels saying that the Army Chief’s statement can be made on Musharraf’s lawyers.

Musharraf, a dictator who pushed Pakistan into flames has surely to be sentenced for his crimes. It is very unfortunate that Pakistan’s circumstances started to worsen fast in Musharraf’s regime and the situation is still critical. Thousands of innocent people including men, women, children as well as our Pakistani soldiers lost their lives in so-called war against terrorism which was started after 9/11 by USA.

Talking about Musharraf’s crimes will be useless as everybody knows of them but the question arises is it illegal to criticize a criminal who enforced emergency in the country, who suspended esteemed judges of the apex court, who showed his fists in Islamabad over the killing of innocent political workers on 12 May and so on?

It is correct that he belonged to the Pakistan Army and the whole nation definitely pays deep respect to the institution but he harmed or damaged not only the reputation of Pakistan Army but his wrong decisions also resulted in the killings of our innocent soldiers. Extremism and terrorism reached on peak due to his wrong policies and various outlawed groups including Taliban emerged which started to damage Pakistan and the killing of innocent people is still going on.

In this era of anarchy, everyone has to show responsibility and try not to twist the statements made by any of the esteemed institutions against anyone because Pakistan is already suffering from critical situation and it cannot face further bad incidents! Avoid disputes and Save Pakistan!
