A COMMENT ON A RETIRED SENIOR OFFICER OF PAKISTAN

NAME WITH-HELD

Dear Sir ………….

I read with interest the  assessment regarding the next chief. Some of the contenders like Tariq and Haroon have been my students during various stages of their career and one knows them well as also their reputation in the army.

Interestingly the largest analysis you did was on Tariq which itself says something.

As I told you earlier he is the best thing that could happen to the Army…… amongst the young officers he is called ‘Bull dozer’…….

Haroon who was my student on the war course is known as ‘Apa’ (ha ha)………. Not a good nickname for a potential army chief.

I also know all the ‘advisors’ that you have identified (again some I have served with …Qayyum……… and others who have been my students  ….. Qadir and Javed………) and unfortunately I do not grade any of them with an intellect or ability  that would guide them towards making an unbiased recommendation.

God help us all and God help Pakistan.
