The Inside Aggressors
All professional soldiers, generals or
rankers, work all their lives to grow in an institution which is
entrusted with the noble job of the safety and security of their
country. If an outside aggressor tries to violate the sanctity
of the borders of their country, they defend it even if they
have to sacrifice their lives.
It is their training, agility, willingness to
sacrifice their lives and the know-how of advanced weapons
systems which make a country safe from outside aggressors.
But what is a country?
Is it just a geographical territory? Yes, a
country should have geographical territory, but it needs more
than a geographical territory to make it a country. It needs
people, the people who are fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters of the same professional soldiers who are willing to
sacrifice their lives to defend their country.
A country also needs a government to
administer its day to day affairs and maintain the wellbeing of
its people.
A country also needs a constitution, a
consensual book of guidance to run and maintain balance between
different branches of government such as legislature, judiciary
and administration.
There are not only outside aggressors who
threaten the safety and security of a country by violating its
territorial integrity, there are inside Aggressors who violate
the integral parts of internal safety and security of a country.
Many times, these inside aggressors prove more destructive than
outside aggressors.
A geographical territory without people,
constitution and three actively and effectively functioning
branches of government does not make a country. It is equally
important to maintain the safely and security of these internal
components.
Inside aggressors breech the safety and
security of these internal elements. The countries that cannot
maintain the safety and security of these internal components
eventually lose their geographical territory which professional
soldiers are entrusted to defend with their lives.
Sometimes, these inside aggressors are men in
uniform hidden among professional soldiers like black sheep.
They are blended so well among the professional soldiers, even
the most patriotic soldiers cannot differentiate them.
Sometimes, they even naively join them.
These inside aggressors just wait for the
right time to strike. They want to destroy the country from
inside—the country the professional soldiers want to defend with
their blood.
Generals Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia ul Haq
and Pervez Musharraf are examples of these inside aggressors.
Each one of them played a vital role in the
destruction of Pakistan. If nothing else, at least they
destroyed the vital parts of Pakistan called constitution,
judiciary and legislature.
Generals Ayub and Yahya facilitated the
geographical destruction of Pakistan in the shape of
dismemberment of East Pakistan.
General Zia ul Haq damaged Pakistan
internally and externally. He involved Pakistan in unwanted
proxy war. He destroyed the people of Pakistan by introducing
drugs, guns and violence. He also destroyed the constitution and
all three branches of government.
General Pervez Musharraf, the current inside
aggressor, the black sheep in uniform, has done almost the same
damage to Pakistan like his predecessor inside aggressors.
General Ayub, Yahya and Zia are dead. They
have become part of hall of shame of our national history for
ever.
General Musharraf is still alive and on the
scene.
General Ayub, Yahya and Zia ul Haq were not
the friends of Pakistan or professional soldiers. They were
inside aggressors waiting for the right time to strike. When
time came, they struck and did their part of damage to Pakistan.
General Musharraf is not friend of Pakistan
either. He is not a professional soldier. He was a black sheep
in uniform blended with the rest of professional soldiers. He
also waited for the right moment. When the right time came he
also struck. Now, he is trying to destroy Pakistan from inside.
He has breeched all lines of defenses of
internal parts of safety and security of Pakistan. Literally,
there is no constitution, legislature, judiciary or
administration in Pakistan. He has already damaged these vital
internal parts of the country.
Primarily, it is the responsibility of
professional military leaders among themselves to be vigilant
about these internal aggressors and black sheep like Ayub Khan,
Yahya Khan, Zia ul Haq and Pervez Musharraf. Anytime, these
internal aggressors violate the constitution, and undermine the
rule of law, they violate the defenses of the security of state
of Pakistan. By doing so, not only they give a bad name to the
Armed Forces of Pakistan in and out of the country, they
endanger the safety and security of the country.
Within last 58 years, four such internal
aggressors in uniform breeched the defenses of Pakistan’s
external and internal security. What does that tell us?
It tells us that either state’s internal
intelligence service is incapable to stop these internal
aggressors, or military leadership is irresponsible to the
extent to these let these elements thrive within the institution
that has been entrusted with the safety and security of the
state.
In either case, the people of Pakistan, the
real stake holders of the country, should immediately look into
this matter. Like his black sheep predecessors in uniform, this
fourth inside aggressor, may well eliminate the sate of Pakistan
from the map of world forever.
Who Will
Say Sorry To The People of Pakistan?
Dr. Javed Iqbal went to Bangladesh to attend
a 3 day conference on Islam and Peace in Dhaka. While speaking
to Bangladeshi press reporters, Dr. Javed Iqbal expressed
remorse about 1971 atrocities committed against Bengalis by
Pakistani soldiers.
A while back, General Musharraf the current
illegal ruler of Pakistan who is committing identical atrocities
against his compatriots right now, also extended apology to
Bangladeshis for the atrocities committed against them by
Pakistani soldiers.
Unfortunately, the people of Pakistan have
been receiving the same treatment by Pakistan soldiers for the
last 58 years, but no general or Pakistani intellectual feels
sorry for them or extends them apology.
Pakistani judges, intellectuals, journalists
and so-called pseudo politicians join hands with generals who
are committing these atrocities against the people of Pakistan.
They all have become united against the
people of Pakistan and denying them fundamental political,
democratic and human rights.
Does any one of them feels sorry for the
people of Pakistan or wants to extend them apology?
No. Instead, shamefully they want to maintain
their control over state of Pakistan at every cost. They want to
keep the people out of decision making process for ever. No
remorse, no apology or no regrets.
The people of Pakistan, like their
Bangladeshi brothers, may receive an apology after the
dismemberment of Pakistan.
