Pakistan Building New Tunnels in Strategically Important Sargodha by Rnews- India

New satellites images show Sargodha is buzzing with activities, under the ground. Pakistan is currently constructing new tunnels in Sargodha, a city that holds significant strategic importance for the country. But why is Sargodha so vital to Pakistan’s defense infrastructure?

Key Reasons for Sargodha’s Strategic Importance:

  1. Sargodha Central Ammunitions Facility: This facility houses medium-range M-11 surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, which are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The presence of such advanced military hardware underlines Sargodha’s crucial role in Pakistan’s defense strategy.
  2. Pakistan Air Force Hub: Sargodha is also a major base for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF). Its significance as a military hub reinforces the city’s critical role in maintaining national security and operational readiness.

The ongoing tunnel construction in Sargodha aligns with these strategic priorities, further enhancing the city’s military infrastructure.

Pakistan’s political crisis: Is democracy endangered?

The Supreme Court ordered the arrest of Prime Minister Ashraf, sparking heated debate about the future of Pakistan’s democracy.

Jan. 15, 2013, 5:10 p.m. ET|Islamabad, Pakistan

The Supreme Court’s decision to order the arrest of the prime minister in the midst of major protests in Islamabad expressing frustration at the government has unleashed heated debate about whether democracy has just been upended in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s democratic development has frequently been interrupted by coups. The country has never had an elected government complete a full term in office. The current government is only a few months away from being the first to reach that milestone, but the court order now leaves that in doubt. 

The government has portrayed the prospect of a completed term as key to deepening democracy’s roots here. Those decrying the court move generally agree, and argue that it looks like an opportunist move – timed right before elections and during a major protest – to turn out the government. Supporters of the court decision, however, say another pillar of democracy is at stake: the Constitution and the rule of law. Even high officials must play by the rules, they counter, and the court acted within its jurisdiction to order the prime minister’s arrest on corruption charges.About these ads

For some analysts, the great shame is that all institutional stakeholders have sullied their democratic credentials over the years, leaving no side a trustworthy standard-bearer. In the past, the court has been the willing handmaiden of generals looking to seize power. The current elected government, meanwhile, has brushed off legitimate challenges as precursors to a coup. 

“The great tragedy here is that democracy … has become the best scapegoat in the hands of this government,” says Zarrar Khuhro, a columnist and editor of a weekly English news magazine. “Every time [government officials] are questioned on legitimate grounds, they claim that democracy is under attack. They have cried wolf so many times that now, when the wolf is actually at the door, no one really cares.”

Mr. Khuhro adds that regardless of whether the timing was intentional or not, the decision by the court will be exploited by the protest leader Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, who many analysts here say is backed quietly by Pakistan’s military. Mr. Qadri interrupted his speech Tuesday following the court’s decision, to congratulate the tens of thousands of people protesting in front of the Parliament, who say they will not leave until the government is dismissed, to cheer the news.
