To anyone who thought that the first native army chief, the Sandhurst Academy Trained , General Ayub Khan has shaped the values of Pakistan army and has left a legacy of a modern secular and efficient war machine , the recent speech of COAS Asim Munir, to a gathering of overseas , will be a shocker . Just as Pakistan cricket team has gone to dogs after it got involved with Tablighi Jamat and started reading namaz before match. Similarly , now its army led for the first time by a Hafiz, General has sounded its death knell .
General Munir repeated vehemently what were famous Jinnah words ‘ hindus and muslims are two separate nations with different food, heroes, worship methods etc ‘ . One thought that in contrast Nawaz Sharif ‘s ‘ same aloo gosht on both sides of border ‘ and comradery with Vajpayee had buried the past and India and Pakistan could now move to make their relations like ‘ old US & Canada ‘ relations . Irrespective of the immature slogan ‘ Modi ka yaar hai gaddar hai gaddar hai ‘ in POK elections by the overgrown child Bilawal Bhutto , could be an aberration . General Bajwa was the first General with vision who worked relentlessly to improve Indo Pak relations but at the last moment Imran Khan developed cold feet and backed out . General Kayani too has realised in the end that India was not the main enemy of Pakistan .
