I am sure General Raheel Sharif should have drawn hugely from his reservoir of resolve not to take advantage of scores of opportunities that Mian Nawaz Sharif’s government so generously offered.
This Army Chief will go down into history as a leader whom millions wanted to take full control but who chose to go by the book, and pass on his ‘immense power’ to his successor.
Was it his love of democracy that guided his thinking processes? Or was it the fear of the unknown?
Whatever be the case, Pakistan, in which Dr. Asim Hussain has been chosen to head its Karachi Chapter by the ruling party of Sindh, and in which the PM House has proved to be not the safest place to conduct National Security meetings, needs a huge reformatory shake-up or a massive institutional surgery to have a reasonable chance of defeating the dark forces of corruption and misrule, and of getting back on track to safety.
General Raheel Sharif has quite clearly chosen to pass on the responsibility of carrying out the National Action Plan to its intended and coveted end, to his successor whosoever he is going to be.
There are four names on the table of the Prime Minister. And it is a well-known fact that General Raheel’s preference for merit-based promotions hasn’t left any room for any such candidate to be his successor who will rise to the Prime Minister’s expectations.
So dear fellow citizens, get ready to welcome your next General Raheel Sharif—-General Raheel-2
