Javed Iqbal,
The worsening political situation in Pakistan is directly related to the changing situation in the region. Pakistan is the most important country in this region without whose role any regime change could not be successful. Before playing its role in this war of regime change, Pakistan will prioritize the integrity of its country’s interests and the speed of development. Because the policy under which Pakistan has been running for 75 years, could not free the country from the clutches of economic slavery. Rather, the country has been stuck in the clutches of economic quagmire day by day and now if we do not take care, destruction will be our destiny. How this country is running till now, neither economist nor politician knows. When the enemy realized that now the patriotic section of Pakistan’s military establishment is going towards a big decision for the goals of the country’s economic and developmental changes, the enemies could not digest this and they launched a big attack against our own country. The conspiracy was planned.
At this time, the 7th most powerful army in the world is on the target of the enemies, the enemies are attacking from inside and outside because the enemies know that until the Pakistan Army is weak, their nefarious ambitions will not be fulfilled. What happened in Pakistan on May 9, did not happen suddenly. The enemies have weakened us politically, economically, constitutionally and legally, but our state did not matter. In terms of democracy, Pakistan has reached 104th place out of 167. In corruption, Pakistan has progressed to 140th place in the list of 180 countries and in terms of the judiciary, we are at 130th place in the list of 139 countries. According to Human Development Index, Pakistan is ranked 161st, Press Freedom Index ranks Pakistan 157th, Global Gender Gap Report ranks Pakistan 145th, Passport Index ranks Pakistan 106th. The Pakistani passport is the fourth weakest passport, to pick up an index, see that where we are not setting records of degradation, but despite all this, Pakistan is established and permanent. The enemies have understood that the desired results could not be achieved until the Pakistan Army is weakened because it is the Pakistan Army that is improving its ranking even in the worst conditions. Pakistan has surpassed Israel, Germany and France in the defence field.
According to the latest report of Global Firepower, the Pakistan Army has become the seventh most powerful military force in the world, the power index of the Pakistan Army is 0.1694, which is higher than Japan, France, Italy, Brazil, Israel, Germany and Canada. In the last 3 years, the position of the Pakistan Army has improved by 8 ranks. Pakistan was ranked 15th in 2020, 10th in 2021 and 9th in 2022 in terms of global military power, now it is at 7th. The militaries of the US, Russia and China occupy the top 3 positions respectively. Global Firepower has been publishing military power rankings since 2006. Every year, it ranks the militaries of all countries based on potential combat capabilities. Forty to forty-five thousand people out of 230 million people are attacked in the guise of protest against the seventh most powerful army in the world. According to Interior Minister Rana Sana Ullah, protests were held at 12 places in Islamabad on May 9, in which around seven hundred protesters participated. 15,000 to 18,000 people participated in the protest on May 9 in Punjab. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there was a protest at 126 places on May 9, in which 19 thousand to 22 thousand people participated. According to a Punjab Police spokesperson, 74 vehicles used by the Punjab Police were vandalized and set on fire by the protesters. While 22 government buildings, including police stations and offices, have been severely damaged, 152 police officers and Officials were seriously injured, and the number of arrested miscreants involved in attacks, vandalism, violence and arson on government and private institutions has reached 2894. The PTI had organized a coordinated strategy to target military installations before the arrest of Imran Khan.
All this has not happened suddenly, all the places were predestined. It was decided to target the military installations in every city. So it was all done under a political strategy. Imran Khan and his fellow planners had an idea that in case of arrest, millions of people would come out and it would be difficult for anyone to take care of them and it would be said that millions of people moved here on their own, it was a brilliant script. It was to give the impression that the people were angry with the army and that the people stood up to the army. But everything went wrong and all guesses proved wrong.After the failure of this coup and corruption, Imran Niazi finally drummed up a war against the current Army Chief, General Asim Munir, and immediately after his announcement, Zalmay Khalilzad advised the COAS General Asim Munir, to resign and he intensified the propaganda campaign against the Pakistan Army. COAS General Asim Munir has said that all the planners, agitators, instigators and perpetrators of May 9 Black Day will be brought to justice and the Pakistan Army will not tolerate any further attempts to harm its installations.
According to ISPR, Army Chief General Asim Munir visited the Corps Headquarters Peshawar where he was briefed on the current security situation and ongoing counter-terrorism efforts. The Army Chief said in his address that we want peace and stability. They will continue their efforts. He said that if there was a nefarious attempt to target the armed forces by the enemy elements, all such attempts will be thwarted with the support of the public.I have no hesitation in saying that there are a handful of people who are spreading negative propaganda against the army. 22 crores of our people stand behind the Pakistan Army which sacrifices its lives to ensure the security of land, sea and air borders. The armed forces are the national forces, the nation and the forces together ensure the national defence and our nation does not stand with the rioters but with its forces because we have our freedom first.
