Yes it is: for continuously disrespecting the Constitution; assassinating Prime Ministers; sacking and imprisoning Judges; beating up policemen who dare challan even junior officers; helping Generals run away from court during hearings such as Major General Raja Farrukh Javed 2/
2/ Here regale yourself: dawn.com/news/584550/by…
3/ And by generally talking down to 'Bloody Civilians' while strutting about shamelessly. Indeed was Pervez (Mushy) Musharraf's escape under Military Police escort to the Army-run NIH to avoid a hearing in a court trying him for treason any less shameful. As they say in Punjabi4/
4/ 'Apni Manji haithaan bhi daang pher lao'!
5/ Have so much on my mind, forgot to mention the Army actively helping the judiciary to kick out non-favourite PMs; rigging elections in BROAD DAYLIGHT and literally spitting in our faces. Ever sat opposite @GenAmjadShuaib . Pakistan will only improve when the Army stays 6/
6/ within the bounds set for it in the Constitution....
7/ Lets start at the beginning of the Army's messing with the country. Ayub Khan who should never have been promoted considering his shenanigans at the border during Partition laid the Foundation Stone of corruption in Pakistan when he kicked President Iskander Mirza out of 8/
8/ the country and declared Martial Law. Name me ONE, just ONE politician who was corrupt before Ayub Khan built the edifice of corruption by leaning on GM to take their truck agency away from their old dealer and hand it to Capt. Gohar Ayub Khan and his father-in-law, Lt Gen 9/
9/ Habibullah Khan of whom he was mortally afraid. Then came the storm: One son took over the thekas of all gravel from all the rivers in Northern Pakistan; one became a partner in Kohistan Bus Co. for free. Seeing this the Civil Servants put their grubby gingers in the 10/
10/ American supplied Honey Pot too...Do you get the picture so far General, before we go on to the alienation of East Pakistan BY our Punjabi ruling elites led by the Political Generals of the Army, and the gradual increase in the takeover of Pakistan by them?
11/ This is only a filler, the details on Ayub; the drunken sot Yayha; the scoundrel Amir Abdullah Khan 'Tiger' Niazi; the vile, conniving Zia and cohort including heroin king FazleHaq; the lying Aslam Beg who @ijazulhaq squarely blames for his father's assassination; the 12/
12/ infantile tamashas of the #CowardlyCommando #Mushy; the crookery of Kayani are all yet to be stated in detail as my book progresses. This filler is to inform all and sundry that since about 15 years even the Junior-most Civil Court has a Havildar of the ISI watching 13/
13/ proceedings, even in backwater towns like Piplaan, Mianwali District! Now put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, Young Master @MichaelKugelman Contd...

Hahahaaa! Well caught! So well caught, Dawn's attempted Left hook and Upper cut One-Two! Both by my friend @Fahdhusain!
2/ Let us explore @Fahdhusain's writings a bit. What in the World does he mean by ‘Would it be prudent for the party to fight the election by further fuelling its anti-establishment position and framing its ideology in civil-military terms?’ Is he saying that Nawaz Sharif’s 3/
3/ calling out the ‘Political Generals’, Bajwa and Faiz for rigging GE 2018 (which they did in broad daylight; on Live TV, and in our bloody faces - ask Hony. Major @LodhiMaleeha) and plunging the country into several crises ‘framing’ the PMLN’s ‘ideology’ in Civil-Military 4/

You are the son of a fearless; honest; outspoken lady who said it like it is, with humour, courtesy and verve, and it was a pleasure to argue with her. Sadly, she was taken from us too soon, may the Lord rest her. Whilst it would be difficult to match her, it certainly does 2/
2/ not behoove you, the holder of so many posts within the Party, AND the the Government of Sindh to obfuscate and confuse. You say MNA @Aliwazirna50 's case is pending in the Honourable the Sindh High Court, and tongue-in-cheek add that the 'judiciary is independent since the 3/
3/ days of Iftikhar Chaudhry' perhaps as a snide reference to my support for the 'independence' of the judiciary in contrast to that of the PPP! My question to you and @sherryrehman and @ShahNafisa and @MediaCellPPP and @Mustafa_PPP was/is simple: Is MNA @Aliwazirna50 your 4/

It was a balmy Friday afternoon and Probyns (5) Horse was billeted under tents. (1951/2). Capt. Gul Hasan, the Adjutant and my Uncle (@HarounRashid2 father's younger brother) were sitting outside the Mess drinking beer. In the Mosque which was several hundred yards the Maulvi 2/

@Razarumi @murtazasolangi @husainhaqqani Excellent programme gentlemen, kudos. Exactly what many of us have been saying for well on 30 years, put out so succinctly by Ambassador Haqqani. However, 1) I would not be too sanguine about most of the Army being above politics: even 2/
2/ younger officers are discussing politics (in deprecating terms) in family gatherings, (and even in Messes which was strictly forbidden on pain of severe punishment during my time in the Army); and, 2) Perhaps when discussing the COAS's wanting to make Pakistan a 'normal' 3/
3/ country, a reference could have been made to then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who was actually turfed out of office in a disgraceful manner for saying exactly that, years before the COAS, with his party then being #CHEATED out of victory in Election 2018. We know exactly 4/

There were some others like Sahibzada, Sirji, striking attitudes: Lt. Gen. Atiqur (Turk) Rehman, M.C. (RIP) for one. I was also a great admirer (being a stickler for discipline myself) hearing stories of how he, as Adjutant General would stop his staff car and make a passing 2/

@Razarumi @murtazasolangi @M_Suharwardy @NadiaNaqi Excellent show today; most excellent ending, Raza. a) Everyone is still on the same page for the 10-Year Presidential/Army/Fascist/One-Party Rule: if not #Selectednikka, someone else. Note: there are many rats available: 2/
2/ @SMQ; #Shafqat_Mahmood; @JahangirKTareen (who is an old #DeepState man), etcetera; b) The only way forward is for democratic politicians to forget 'Mufahmat' (whatever THAT beast means, for Bloody Civilians and Generals are hardly equals!) and demand a new social contract 3/
3/ with the Political Generals, insisting on limiting them to the confines laid out in the Constitution. And then free and fair elections. NB: The condition that the country is in after 3-years of #nikka's ministrations does not lend itself to perpetuating this #Shitshow! 4/
