such a statement from the military command would hardly help better coordination between the civil and military sides for the achievement of goals mutually decided by them. Instead, it would create misunderstandings, which in the present situation would be seriously hurting for Pakistan.
There are definitely issues of governance. There are also shortcomings in the implementations of the National Action Plan.
But if this is not the fact that what has been achieved so far against terrorism and extremism is unprecedented, and is the consequence of the inputs from both the military and the civilian side including government, parliament and the courts.
If the Pakistan Army is doing well in the combat zones and is giving great sacrifices; the parliament has contributed by passing 21st constitutional amendment, the civilian leadership unanimously approved National Action Plan and reached the consensus of setting up military courts while the apex court endorsed the setting up of these courts.
Because of this contribution from all institutions, extraordinary achievements have been made to bring peace in Karachi and Baluchistan, and to check terrorism.
Prime Minister has been praising the military and its top leadership on every occasion, both inside the country and at international forums, for their role in the fight against terror. Not sure who is the target of the ISPR’s press release but it has certainly caused an embarrassing situation for the Prime Minister, who is the chief executive of the country.
Governance issues and the wrongs of decades don’t get settled overnight. The government might be slow in setting the things in the right direction for which the military should put its pressure to get the things expedited. However, it should not be done publicly but behind the close doors.
