Story Behind All the Martial Laws Pakistan has Witnessed

Since 1947, Pakistan has witnessed more than three decades of military dictatorship by four different dictators. Politics and IR expert, Dr Raja Qaiser explains the factors that led to the military coup in Pakistan at all four instances.
Editorial edit: Khawaja Nazimuddin's government was dismissed by Malik Ghulam Muhammad, NOT Iskander Mirza

Actually, our Army is more efficient in interfering in politics rather than dealing with BLA and TTP ...In fact we are losing in Balochistan !!!!

[@liftusup9208]

This coutry is made to keep fighting and suppressing its people by design so that no body question the real objectives of partition. We do all powers chip in for an "agreement" in 65 and 71 war? Because they want us to stay divided and play role of a buffer state. They want anything but a united subcontinent standing as one of top-3 nations in the world.

[@hunter62207]

I agree with the first part but we are not loosing in Balochistan it’s stagnant yes but we’re not loosing Waziristan was much worse and we dealt with it.

Sad story of a 70 year old military led country...😔

Dear Sir, the government of Khwaja Nazumddin was dismissed by Gulam Muhammad not Iskander Mirza. @3:21 Regards.

[@IK-wp5eq]

It is not preparedness of army because if it was than there are many other countries with better prepared armies than Pakistan and we don't see coups happening there. The main reason is that Army doesn't allow civilian institutions to be strong like Police, Politicians, Judiciary. The second reason is there is no counter paramilitary force independent of army. There are rangers but they are under military command. The third reason is the military's 111 brigade provides security for the PM and the President which upon Generals order they are the ones who would arrest the PM and the President. Fourth reason is ISI is headed by army General which is the secret agency. Therefore Army does not win the race because they can run the fastest, but they win the race by crippling the competition. This is also the reason why Pakistan never saw improvement in public sectors and services in over 70 years while the rest of the region did. It should be clear army wants to keep everything under their control by crippling everyone else including the public. Therefore no good public education, no good public health services, no good public opportunities even no good city services and therefore you see a lot of garbage all around the city. Army deliberately keeps the system dirty and corrupted so that only army can prosper. And of course if any good leader comes, they are disposed off (remember they win by crippling).

[@NaveedAli-ut1nl]

In all the points you made above you just explained the high preparedness of the army yourself. Basically you yourself have complimented the point he made about army preparing for power.

[@IK-wp5eq]

@@NaveedAli-ut1nl This is the kind of so called "Preparedness" (more like declaration of war by the army on own country) you don't want and it shows where Pakistan is today. It is nothing to be proud of.

[@NaveedAli-ut1nl]

@@IK-wp5eq I don’t like army intervention in politics, so am not proud of the army preparedness to intervene. I’m simply stating a fact, the army is always prepared to take over.

[@IK-wp5eq]

@@NaveedAli-ut1nl Sounds good. Lets hope this negative preparedness changes to a positive preparedness and in our lifetime.

[@MuzikAficionado]

You cant blame the moral and financial corruptness of civil bureaucracy, legislature and politicians on army. If a person has a price to be sold for, anyone can buy that person. If not, no one can buy or derail someone from the right path.

Sir you said after jinnah and liaqat ali khan there was no big leader What about Fatima jinnah ji ?

[@danielkazmi2180]

Fatimah jinnah was not a political entity she was a social worker. Her fame was only because of her brother. She was nominated by the opposition in 1965 because they knew public will vote for her because of her status in the country. And the interesting thing is she died 2 years after the election so if she had won the election the government would have been inevitabley handed over to the ones behind fatimah jinnah. So in my opinion it was better that ayub won the 65 elections...

[@Mr.Adlag.]

And then army says they want to remain neutral. Army should stay with righteousness rather than being neutral.

[@AshishTiwari-sl4ju]

In his assessment of the coup of 1999 done by musharaf, he is not being factual. Not even once did he mentioned kargil. It was this misadventure that costed Nawaz Sharif his job. It is well-known that Nawaz welcomed Mr Vajpayee to Lahore and musharaf was planning something else. This was the reason for 1999 coup. TCM should have checked the entire video and only then it should have been allowed to uploaded.

[@wkhan5]

The story of the 1999 coup was not as simple as he makes it out to be. He fails to mention that to appease Musharraf, NS gave him the dual role of chairman joint chiefs of staff committee on top of his existing role as CoS. He fails to mention how trust had broken down as a result of Musharraf’s adventure in Kargil without taking the government on board beforehand. He also fails to ask the pertinent question- why did NS feel the need to suddenly fire Musharraf from his job in such a hurry.

When one of the experts of your country says on record that the 3 institutions of the state that were created to run the country are, Executive, Judiciary and Military; instead of saying Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, then you are sure on the highway...highway to hell. Umm actually on CPEC;

[@hjedits657]

He is talking about British Colonial setup of these 3 departments ..... unfortunately due to lack of Civilian leadership this setup carried on

[@fajeradnan8607]

just because you know the academic synonym of the word which the expert did not say, does not mean the expert has lost their expertise. and it's legislative by the way, not legislature. at least make sure k agar bakwas hi karni hai tou usmay hypocritical ghalatiyan na ho. cry about cpec all you want.

I am confused, if you can kindly explain, please. If a war is won on the battleground, how can it be defeated on the table? Doesn't this mean that the war is not won at all, but the masses were fed with lies?
