lesser than what was feared.
Similar evident signs of successes of the military-led operation in Karachi and Balochistan are seen and appreciated. Corps Commander Karachi and Corps Commander Quetta are seen working for the assigned job of bringing peace in these regions.
Military sources said that for the top military commanders, the COAS is a never-satisfied boss, who always expects from his team to do more. How successfully the corps commanders of Karachi and Quetta are performing in their respective domains to bring peace in what were considered the most troubled areas of Pakistan is not only a matter of satisfaction for the government but also a source of pride for the military.
Karachi today is much peaceful than before and for this the Rangers have played an important role. Besides what the law enforcers are doing against terrorists and separatists in the province, it was pleasant to see sports and entertainment activities for the youth and general public organised by the military in Balochistan.
It was also encouraging to find the Quetta corps commander, who on these occasions invited the estranged Baloch youth to avoid taking up arms and adopt the path of peace. Addressing the recently-held Balochistan sports festival, he told the Baloch youth that Pakistan belonged to them so they should not fight against their own home. He added that the days and nights in Balochistan had become peaceful, as political leadership had shown unity. He added, “I appreciate the nation’s sons who have thrown away the arms and decided to play their role for the country and would not play the game of bloodshed in their motherland.”
It also goes to the credit of the incumbent army chief to have an organised military parade on Pakistan Day — the 23rd of March — after a lapse of seven years. The Pakistan Day functions were also organised in other regions and the most heartening were the ones seen in Balochistan. These events by professional and apolitical army makes it look different from the one led by Nawaz Sharif’s 1998 choice.
