When we think of the word “state”, the first thing that
comes into our mind is government. Some political scientists think its the
politicians who govern the country, while some believe its bureaucracy, but in
Pakistan a lot of people believe it’s the Pak Army which governs the country.
Pak Army is believed to be a very strong organization because of its fundamental
pursuance in gaining power, and we opt to salute them on how they have
manipulated situations in their favor.
Our judiciary, our civil bureaucracy, and our politicians
have together failed to stop the involvement of Army in state
affairs. As a matter of fact, it’s the job of civil bureaucracy to run the
state organizations and it’s their job to maintain political stability. But
since they have always been under the influence of Army, the bureaucrats
therefore have to accept orders from Generals. I don’t think its fault of the bureaucrats either because they are not paid well in such an inflationary time period, and they
therefore turn themselves available to anyone for any kind of exploitation.
This is a threatening situation indeed, and it should not be turned a blind
towards.
