How can military indulgence be avoided in the POLITICS???

[azix_zee]

A few days back, the COAS, Gen. Perviz Kiyani has advised/ordered the working Military officers that they would not call on or meet any politician. This order or advice was appreciated by almost each & everyone in the country & it was & is hoped that this decision is not his personal but the collective decision of the top ranks of the Armed forces of Pakistan and indicates to the new consciousness among the Armed Forces not to poke their nose in the politics of the country. We are very much optimistic about this but will this going to happen because the defense forces have addicted to the politics of the country since last 60 years of so? Due to this indulgence in politics they have developed the economical and corporate interests which in the short run are not likely to be thrown away so easily. But this decision is a ray of hope the people of this country who feel complete alienation in these dire situations. But is due on the part of politicians?
Will this retreat on the part of arm forces be unilateral and the politicians will do nothing or will their be concerted effort on the part of politicians to avoid any sort of help from the armed forces in the future & when will that happen?

They can do few things:

1). The parties organizations, structure and consultation process is very weak among the Pakistani Political Parties. The bulk of the decisions are taken without the party workers being taken into confidence. So, democracy should be introduced from top to bottom in political parties and the opinions of the workers heard in decisions making process.

2). There is no training program for the party workers and they are not made aware what are the issues and problems on the basis of which they would contest elections. This lack of training would encourage parochialism, regionalism, and racism. They should be trained in order to abide them to the constitution and law of the country rather than indulging them in the above mentioned activities/maladies.

3). Our political leaders have not long term policies/plans for education, health, employment, poverty and other issues and problems faced by the man in the street. They want to get to the power centers, whether by hook or crook therefore, they have no consensus among themselves on the role of army in politics yet, some support and invite army while others reject and denounce the role of army in politics.

4). They have, also, no vision that why military is in politics at present and in past and how can the indulgence of army be avoided in politics.

Conclusion:

They, the politicians, should adopt a strategy; keeping the above mentioned facts, in order to avoid the Armed Force in Politics otherwise how can a disorderly crowd of people compete with well organized army?

Brother,
To Me Only Redemption Is The Strengthning And Consolidation Of Civil Services Under The Stewardship Of Pakistan Army, Many Would Disagree With It , But The Other Option Is Dynastic Dectatership In The Garb Of Democracy To Transact Politically Organised Multrillion Industry Of Loot And Plunder. If Civil Services Are Assured Tenure And Financial Security And Liberated From The Clutches Of Political Godfathers In The Form Of Patron And Client Relationship, They Can Perform Wonders And Surely Can Rise Above Petty Self-interest And Be Able To Stand Upto Challenges

Well for me they, the civil servants, are already at the peak of their authority and the 2nd infulential if not the most influential in Pakistan. For me, they are both, financially and socially, the most secured class. Will you plz tell us more elaboratelly, how can the civil servants be made more secure and financially sufficient.[/B]

brother,
i am amazed at your repartee, yes many of civil servant well-off, but nothing can alter the fact that now civil servants are no more than factotams of shadow-political-cum-fudal-industrial elite of pakistan. An overwhelming majority of aspirant of competitive exam want to serve and built nation in true sence of words but they literally end up playing second fiddle to vested interests of pakistan or else face humilation, what happenes, when civil servant got thrashing, verbal humilation, and ignomity. And now they have been rendered most vulnerable in the history of pakistan

Dear Bro!!! you right what you said abt Civil Servant.....But how can the vested interests be thrown out of the Politics of Pakistan. This really is the question we must analyse......I think education has much to do with it... but I read in yesterday's newspaper that Abda Hussain, who had served the nation twice or thrice as Federal Minister in the Cabinet of Democratic Govt: has only two school in her constituency. So, these vested interest would not let us bring the change wid improvement in Education sector. What should be done in this connection???? I hope 4 your kind views.
