The General
Former army chief General Moeen U Ahmed, who was once an influential man in the post 1/11 political scene, is now again at the centre of parley since he has retired. As his term is over, disgruntled politicians both from the ruling party and opposition are challenging his activities during the two years of the army backed interim govt. During those two critical years, he appeared as a rescuer and reformer. Now it is time to evaluate his work.
People by nature are always against autocratic rule and they always cherish democracy. They know it very well that an un-elected government cannot run the country for an indefinite period of time.
Moeen made wholesale comments against politicians following 1/11 which was unwanted. However, his and his institution took some praiseworthy steps in respect of national interest.
Politicians should learn from 1/11. Democracy loving people in this country are always vigilant.
