Not your army

This is with reference to the PM's statement which has appeared in almost all the newspapers (November 6, 2010) that, "Pakistan Army was his army and that this army will not impose martial law." His statement made me laugh my guts out His President, who professes to be the Supreme Commander of the armed forces hides behind the facade of his "supremacy" without ever even visiting a single armed forces headquarters or a unit, a fighter squadron or a naval ship/establishment. It is pertinent to point out that the PM has been burdened by another insult to his already low stature when we all saw his 'dazed' photograph appearing on the streamers extolling the nation how to avoid hepatitis It could not have been worse than this. The message on the streamers should have been, "Do not use syringes full of corruption, injection manufactured by the PPP government." Not a single day goes by when we do not hear about some mega scandal involving the federal government. - MAJOR TALAAT KHURSHID (RETD), Rawalpindi, November 6
