Pakistan Army kicks out Rehman Malik from GHQ > http://teeth.com.pk/3Mf4 < my comments - throw him out of the country for all I sayReally Awab?!! I am no fan of corrupt politicians or Rehman Malik. But are our memories so short that the military showing insubordination to the civilian government is now a GOOD thing? No wonder Imran Khan can get away with saying that li'il old him (old enough to remember three military dictators, if not more) was just so nice a guy that he "was conned" (his words) by Musharraf's sweet nothings when he came to power. What was all that about the rule of law and restoring ... what was it we were all agitating about just a year or two ago?
PS:
Here are some comments from Rana Faisal on Awab's original post on his blog:
This is something we shouldn’t be proud of.
By the constitution of Pakistan Military works under civilian government. And Rehman Malik is the federal minister for interior. This treatment of Army is not acceptable at all. Army clearly let down both president and prime minister by not allowing him to enter, if simply because of the fact that he was not important to them.
Army should stay in its limits. It is a disciplined institution and should set an example and on the contrary they cross the line all the time and we “the naive common citizens” are always chanting slogans, long live army.
Why are we not questioning how did the terrorist manage to get in and hostage the highest military men inside the GHQ?
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA WHO WAS MADE HOSTAGE INSIDE THE GHQ? YOU WILL BE SHOCKED IF YOU’D KNOW.
Why official notification informing GHQ by IG punjab was ignored which clearly stated that armed terrorist in army uniform will attack GHQ?
I am not defending Rehman Malik. If he is incapable, American agent or not competent enough to visit GHQ, he shouldn’t have been on the post of federal interior minister in the first place.
Why our army only reacts when it comes to their institution? and not something goes really wrong in other areas?
Musharraf sacked 3 most influential general highest in the hierarchy of army at that time in one go, on the orders or Americans and nobody made any noise, agitated, and if NS sacked Musharraf after Karamat, though by law he has the authority, toppling his government by Musharraf became justified?
Mush kept quite though he knew everything which he declared as a reason to topple NS government but he didn’t react and did military coup till the time it came to him and he was sacked
Stop treating army like a sacred cow, they are the last resort but so far they have their fare share in the mess we have around? If Rehman Malik is incompetent, Hussain Huqqani behaving like American ambassador in Pakistan Embassy of US, why they highest post men in army are silent about it and don’t they have the capacity and power to correct the government when something goes wrong?
But they only act when it comes to their institution and that is what we need to understand. It is time to question our army and stop treating them like a sacred cow. Think logically
Let me clarify neither i am a fan of Rehman M, Zardari and his cronies, Nawaz & the gang or anyone else.
And for Rehman Malik any day i can debate that he is the most incompetent man for the job so please don’t bother to ask me questions about why am i defending politician.
My sole purpose is constitution is supreme, if today we let Army abuse their powers tomorrow some individuals will abuse army and laugh at all of us and than we will not have any right to question them. So let the institutions be independent and work under constitution.

@Sabahat > as much as I do not want the military rulers running our country - I, nor the millions of Pakistans can stomach the fact that these corrupt leaders are allowed to waltz in making minced meat from our Pakistani people all for their own gains.
If you hadnt noticed it was reported in DAWN that Rehman Malik wanted to make this visit to GHQ a public PR stunt for the press plaque shlaque in memory of the dead - it is sadly at this persons hand (Rehman Malik) that he has had the galls to stand up after every tragic bomb blast and say with a poker face. We knew of the threat, and we will investigate. Investigate my ass - they havent been able to lift a finger on their sisters assisnation (BB), let alone worry about when other civilians go to the grave yard.
On the sake of all the innocent lives lost due to his incompetence I have even more zero tolerance for a nin-comp-poop who along with his boss should have been locked away forever
I understand your concern that the Army should not sub-verse the civilian govt - but by golly, is this a really a 'civil' govt?
Im just to irritated at not being able to do anything - while our people continue to starve to death, it is being said that had if the mammoth high levels of corruption not been present Sugar mills and what not - the saving from those corrupt scams would have been enough to ride Pakistan through without the need for the KLB. Could be a litte too optimistic of a statement, but I can 'feel' the desperate need to cut through this corrupt society and embark on a path to rejuvenate our Pakistan into normal existence
My post has been an outburst, and it still does bring a smile on my face to have had the pleasure to know that someone had the balls to smack this idiot across teh face. These are small emotional victories that make us live to the next day, else we generally are left to tweeting about the BREAKING NEWS: Bomb blast - so many dead
I pray to God that we have had enough, I hope he can start sharing some mercy on our nation. For now we are solidly at the mercy of these goons both civilian and the military.
Awab, we might hate him, but Asif Ali Zardari has more legal right sit on the presidential kursi than either ZA Bhutto or George W had. If we really want democracy and rule of law, we have to be able to stick with it through thick and thin. What're your priorities? Is it more important to show corrupt evil people down, or to help build a tradition of accountable government and chain of command?
Okay I have to say this "ASS-if Zardari" was NOT electeD by the people of Pakistan. Let us be clear about this.
It was mere circumstance and a questionably authentic will that led him to his kursi.
For now the fact that the Judiciary is FINALLY waking up is heartening. Lekin Mr.Zardari was elected by his Party - and that too through only the higher echelons of the Party....which remains divided on the subject.
