But General Tariq Khan says ALL political partys are equal for the Army. That it gave the same support to the PPP and PMLN that it gives to the PTI🤤🤤
2/ More later...
3/ Indeed it is nonsense. In this case the Army/ISI are PART of the #SHITSHOW...first pulling down the Balochistan govt. Then rigging GE18 in broad daylight and on Live camera, and then manipulating the Senate elections AND votes in Parliament!!
4/ So let me write in detail on Lt. Gen. Tariq Khan (who is clearly @OfficialDGISPR 's nominated spokesman)'s quite galling interview with @ranamubashir01, who as I said before, threw soft balls at the interviewee, laced with suggestions. So, on the internal situation Rana 5/
4/ So let me write in detail on Lt. Gen. Tariq Khan (who is clearly @OfficialDGISPR's nominated spokesman)'s quite galling interview with @ranamubashir01, who as I said before, threw soft balls at the interviewee, laced with suggestions. So, on the internal situation Rana 5/
5/ says (Please note all the words are NOT verbatim, but show what RM and TK actually meant), (Quote) RM: These days many people become tools in the hands of hostile countries and talking of politicians, they think they are macho if they bash/grill the Army. Why? 6/
6/ TK: 'Mubashir this is why I agreed to this interview. We must understand the environment. China is the largest economy in the World. It is building the BRI which will connect Asia with Africa and Europe, 2/3 of the World's population. The head of the BRI is CPEC. If someone 7/
7/ wants to harm BRI, they must harm CPEC first. Who is affected by BRI? United States is being isolated. A few days ago the US signed a defence pact with India. Who is the defence pact against? India cannot fight China so the pact is against CPEC. So how do you fight against 8/
8/ CPEC? There are two ways: One is War and the second is 'Other Means'. Now, war is a big phenomenon of which military conflict is the smallest component which comes at the end. The Economy; Infrastructure; Communications; Media, all of them are part of this War. However, now 9/
9/the War is at the stage of 'OtherMeans' which people do not understand. So, talking of the Internal Situation, people are divided into groups; Sectarian/Political/Extremist/Separatist and are being funded from outside which is why they are knowingly or unknowingly, playing 10/
10/ in enemy hands and spreading destruction. It'll make no difference to Pakistan or to the Army but this is a difficult time. RM: So what are you doing about it at your end? TK: Well, I am not the Army's spokesman(!) but it must be thinking of something! However the Army is 11/
11/ such a big 'Idara'; it has great DEPTH and a great LEGACY. These are small, insignificant (Chhotay Motay loag) people who come and go! These small men will go away too! (UNQUOTE). I don't know if your head is spinning, reader, but mine is, and I feel like throwing up. 12/
12/ I mean here is a retired Lieutenant General of the Pakistan Army, now heading one of its largest industrial companies and THIS is what he thinks of the Joint political leadership of this unfortunate country! Çhhotay Motay' loag? Who are being paid by foreign intelligence? 13/
13/ And who would be part of an effort to harm CPEC that the senior-most leader of the PDM, Nawaz Sharif did so much work for? See how he talks about the United States? Did he clear what he was going to say with the Foreign Office/the ISI/@OfficialDGISPR ? How can such a 14/
14/ senior officer mouth off on foreign affairs so nonchalantly? Whilst one has seen this behaviour before, it always FURTHER boggles the senses to see that these generals have learnt no lessons at all? Let me add that I always thought Tariq Khan was better than this! 15/
15/ I knew his gentle parents, may the Lord rest them. BTW, RM did not ask ONE follow-up question; did not attempt to challenge TK on even ONE of his utterances regarding political leaders. Not ONCE did he say TK was levelling most serious charges against the political 16/
16/ leadership! Absolutely #Disgusting! To be continued...

Mr. Kaira, so why did @BBhuttoZardari name #SelectedNIKKA 'Selected'? Surely he had PROOF (Saboot) of someone somewhere in this country 'Selecting' him? Now, who was that? Couldn't be the whole Establishment but one or two people who call the shots, right? Take names, SirJi, 2/
2/ take names. After all, the despicable Aslam Beg, egged on by Mr. GIK, did not salute Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, NOT the whole Establishment! Aslam Beg ordered the ISI rank and file NOT to follow the orders of the well-read Lt. Gen. Shamsur Rehman Kallue, NOT the 3/
3/ whole Establishment! NOW is the time SirJi, to NAME and SHAME those who soil our democracy so the country can be rid of them, and go towards a free and fair election under a National Government and heal itself. Remember too, that hard and cruel and mindless men have us by 4/

What is so mystifying in this case that it is taking so long for the Mother of All Agencies? It was/is an open and shut case. GHQ/ISI wanted the IG to register a case. He balked, his phones werr tsken away, he was dragged from his house by Rangers, taken before the ISI 2/
2/ Sector Commander (a Brigadier), who read the IG the riot act and ordered him to have the case registered. The break-in was to tell everyone GHQ/ISI meant business and would brook no nonsense in their wholehearted support for #Selected #NIKKA! Why is it so difficult to 3/
3/ understand? The 10 days came in when the IG and 50 of his subordinates including SHO Sharafat Bibi applied for leave which sent shockwaves through GHQ/ISI. The big letdown then was when the IG cravenly withdrew his leave and ordered his officers to do so too. Period.

He has left his subordinates out to dry, my friend. He has access to Bajwa now. Does SHO Sharafat Bibi?
2/ The least the man could've done is to tell his subordinates that they are not to put their necks on the line; that it was his fight. Yet, he used the clout that comes from 50 leave requests and as soon as Bajwa speaks sweet nothings to him, backs down. Rs. 100.00 bet: The 3/
3/ '10 Day Inquiry' will be opaque; no names will be named; we won't be told the punishments if any; and most important of all there will be NO apology from the #ISI or the #Army. Result: Zilch!

Actually the Sindh Police would've already despatched the chap in an 'encounter'! An IG has a platoon guarding his residence And they let 2 Rangers JCOs and 12 men take away their IG who my friend @iamthedrifter thinks so highly of? All the more reason for the IG to insist on 2/
2/ on leave along with his loyal subordinates. If GHQ's 10 day long inquiry resulted in severe action against his kidnappers they could have cut short their leave and rejoined duty. I feel sorry for the subordinate lot such as the lady SHO who stood by the IG. They have been 3/
3/ noticed by the true rulers of Karachi: the Rangers and the ISI Sector HQ as 'rebels' and will be sorted out one by one. Mark my words! We are faced by hard and cruel and mindless men who will go to any extent to remain the unchallenged rulers of Pakistan. Our only hope is 4/

He is an old ISI hand; and @P_Musharraf buddy who hid Omar Shiekh after Daniel Pearl's beheading in his GOR1 Official Residence when he was Home Sec. Punjab. Did not even inform #Mushy who was in NYC for UNGA! Could be him who ordered ISI Sector Comd. Karachi directly 2/
2/ He is also the one who had Begum Kulsoom Nawaz's car lifted by a crane when she was protesting NS's imprisonment and had her suspended in the car in the September heat of Lahore for 2 hours. He is also the one who said in a Public Meeting about the 3/

Just now saw @Shahidmasooddr @ShahidMasooddrr on the Bakery Network. He is an old friend but I was stunned to see him suggest that our Great Generals whose every word is #SelectedOaf @ImranKhanPTI 's command are babes in the woods and that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. 2/
2/ I mean, it is one thing to do as a lost and confused #ISPR puts out as it flails about trying to find a way for the ISI/Army to get out of the maze they have built around themselves with no markers pointing the way out, it is another to make a complete hash of it! Just 3/
3/ yesterday he was telling us how #Selected has lost the support of the 'Establishment'; today he says the 'Politicians' better sort themselves out because Generals have no voice because they religiously follow the Constitution...BUT...that if they don't, the poor innocent 4/
