Pakistan Army is the Gurantor of Peace, Existence and Stability of the Country

A period of 75 years is not short for stability and development and stability in the economy and society of any country. Our misfortune is that within the geographical boundaries there are blessings of Allah and all the blessings that any country can wish for. On the one hand, there is a series of snow-clad high mountains, which climbers and tourists from all over the world flock to Pakistan to see and climb. On the other hand, in the very fertile plain area where wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton and various commodities and fodder for livestock, vegetables and different types of crops grow all year round according to their cultivation season. Which fruit in the world does not grow in Pakistan? It is also sold on the streets in such abundance that it is also loved globally. There are deserts, there are rivers and above all, there are long sea coasts and harbours which are considered to be of great importance in sea trade across the world. The hardworking people who are busy cultivating the crops by ripping up the land are putting their blood and sweat in the factories and mills to keep the economy going. From primary education of children to universities, there is no dearth of educational institutions from which every year thousands of students take degrees in health and engineering departments and other professional affairs and play their role in the development and health of the country. pay Tokoi is making the name of Pakistan bright not only within the country but also in foreign countries by gaining access to other modern scientific sciences. Despite this, ever since I regained consciousness, one thing is heard that Pakistan is passing through a critical period, but neither our print nor electronic media have ever dared to raise the question that this critical period of 75 years has passed. Despite this, why has it not ended, nor has this debate ever been made a subject in the form of a seminar or dialogue at the level of universities, that we should come together and identify the factors that keep the country in a critical period. 

Yes, when this topic was discussed somewhere, the Pakistan Army, responsible for the security of the country, was declared responsible for the problems of Pakistan and all the debris was put on this institution of security, whether it is natural disasters that break out in the country in times of peace or On the borders of the enemy, soldiers and officers of the Pakistan Army are ready to face death by placing their lives on the palm of their hands to protect the honour and reputation of the country and the nation. When we read about wars and events in books or watch war scenes in movies, all those stories remain stories for us. In practice, a 122-gram bullet from an AK-47 rifle travels across the body at 2,330 minutes per second, or a 7.62x51mm bullet from a G3 rifle travels back and forth at 2,625 minutes per second. If they are, no one dares to stand firm in the face of this brawl. It was the soldiers of the Pakistan Army who defeated the terrorists by baring their chests in the war of terror imposed on Pakistan. Not only rifles are used in war, but cannons, tanks and mines are also used. When a tank is destroyed by being hit by an enemy missile or shell, the bodies of military officers and soldiers inside the tank, be it four or five, are turned into ashes. Despite this, there is no dearth of those who sacrifice their lives in the army for the security of the country, because when a young man takes a commission in the army or enlists as a soldier, he is told that his body and soul are not his anymore, but the trust of the nation. He is obliged to sacrifice his life for the country. This is the reason why there is a front of blood-curdling snowy mountains where the temperature remains below 30 degrees Celsius even in summer, hot deserts where The scorching sun is shining on the day, whether it is the sea or the surveillance of the country's airspace when the soldiers and officers of the Pakistani forces are in a state of war, blood relations become meaningless for them. The earth itself acquires the status of parents, siblings and wives and children for them.

While placing the responsibility for the people's problems in our country on the Pakistan Army, the example of martial law imposed in the country in the past is given, but these factors are deliberately hidden which forced the army to take over the running of the country. Or they become a reason for interference in politics. An example is given that the army has never seized power in India, so they do not determine that India has not had any neighbour since the time of its independence that has an area, army, and manpower, in terms of economy, administrative and infrastructure and stable national institutions should be historically ten times stronger and organized than Pakistan, which would refuse to recognize India's independence. Within which separatist violent movements like Greater Pakhtoonistan and Balochistan have been raised by the enemy since day one. Whom the ten times bigger neighbour is also providing arms and capital for security. Within which linguistics, sectarianism and provincialism are being fueled in such a way that instead of declaring themselves as Pakistanis, the people proudly identify themselves with language, province and nation. Connect with While explaining and teaching the history of Pakistan Army interference in politics, Pakistanis are not told that during the session of the Parliament in Dhaka (East Pakistan) in October 1958, Deputy Speaker Shahid Ali was attacked by 6 distinguished members of the Parliament and attacked him with "Paperweight". Beaten and put on desks breaking his microphone, Shahid Ali was beaten on the head and face so much that he fell down in his own blood. He was shifted to the hospital where he died two days later.

1958 Dhaka East Pakistan: Shahed Ali was a deputy speaker killed by the opposition members in the parliament.

It was the mood of taking our differences to such an extent in our political mood. From where there is no way back. From 1951 to 1958, the politicians of newborn Pakistan were selfish and stubborn to not recognize others, which led to the death of Khawaja Nazimuddin, Malik Ghulam Muhammad, Sikandar Mirza, Hussain Shaheed Sahruri, Ibrahim Ismail, Chandigarh and Feroze Khan Noon. Three Governor Generals and five Prime Ministers came but Pakistan could not be politically stable. In India, Pakistan has been mocked that the Indian Prime Minister does not change his clothes as much as the Prime Minister of Pakistan changes in a short period of time. Despite the passage of 75 years, even today our political mood in Pakistan is not ready to accept the right of others to rule, while politics has taken the form of inheritance instead of strengthening and nurturing democracy. This is the attitude of our politicians, due to which they invite the Pakistan Army to intervene on their own and go to extremes in taunting their own army when they do not get support. When there is a flood, the army is called. When there is a fire in the forests, the army is called to put it out. If the rains are high, the Pakistan Army reaches out to help the people. If a drought breaks out in Thru Cholistan, it is the responsibility of the Pakistan Army to provide water there. Eradication of terrorists and sabotage within the country also becomes the duty of the Pakistan Army. And even elections are not considered possible without Pakistan Army so that apart from maintaining law and order, ballot boxes can be saved from theft. It is this political instability and our attitude of not recognizing others that have kept the country in a critical situation and the Pakistan Army is held responsible. Despite being aware of the fact that it is the Pakistan Army that is the protector of the security and survival of the country and the lives, honour and property of Pakistanis.
