COAS to be part of National Development Council

[Syed1.]

During peacetime Pak Army has about 500,000 jawans who are free and not doing much, plus they are educated and extremely fit. Can be utilized in manning national level programs such as 10 billion tree tsunami or construction of mega dams.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

Good move.

 

[Protest_again]

Great move. COAS should also be made defacto defence minister as well.

 

[Abdussamad]

More cantonments will now be developed

Beyond that, we must understand that the army plays a significant role in Pakistan and thus it must be part of any national effort. No, I would not support military dictatorship but role has to be provided to the military in the national strategy. I can see historical parallels in this. Most of the west prior in it's formative stage saw their armies play large role in the making of those nations. Britain, France, Turkey, Germany, USA etc

USA had small standing army. The moment a state was created the army ceased to play a role.
US Army did play a role in frontier territories dealing with foreign powers and Indian tribal nations

very very very bad decision

 

[Bouncer]

Its good that they are making it official. Foreign ministry, information ministry and a few others should also be handed over officially.

Mashllah..very positive initiative..

These are not normal circumstances .
Abnormal circumstances need abnormal measures.
We need a coordinated effort .
We are not that ideal country like Britain or USA. We don't have proper system in place.
We need to move our country.
And we need to solve our issues too .
Everything related to our security issues is only related to economy .
Young minds having nothing to do and full day on internet and social media cells riling up their nationalistic emotions.
It is our religion even not to be idle .
Remember people are sheep . They Need a shepherd .

Probleum is we idiots allow other institutions to stick their nose to other institutions which is not good already military occupying 25 percent of public govt jobs other than military where would normal citizen go im against these things these idiotship do not hapoen in developed countries

Military should be given one objective to defend country not involve in politics etc

 

[Bashido]

WTF ... is this another Achievement of Lumber one? Are we having another martial Law.
Well it is greatest achievment of our army. At least they get what they want. An entrance into finance ministry.

More cantonments will now be developed

More DHA, More business and Pakistani will become second class citizens.

Its good that they are making it official. Foreign ministry, information ministry and a few others should also be handed over officially.

Which one is left? I think population control and Army should start to make Condoms .

Great move. COAS should also be made defacto defence minister as well.

lol ... you are saying defacto defenceMinister. Actual, defence Minister used to be a defacto. This COAS used to have a chair in cabinet meeting. We are banana republic. Gen Bajwa is our Gen Aladin

It is good as govt is inexperienced and is doing blunders which can be avoided by advise of army chief

And army have a experience of 33 years to destroy this country.

After Defence, Interior and Foreign Ministry, Boys get control of Finance as well. And to their credit, the govt can not be called a Junta. @VCheng

.... people get the government they deserve.

By and large, a valid principle of politics, particularly in modern times.
