( Retd.) Gen. Aslam Baig holds civil governments
responsible for turning army successes into
failures
Gen. Aslam
Baig shows all Army Operation successes have always been turned
into failures by the civil governments, as Army has to go back to defend the
borders and cannot be maintained in any area in large numbers
always.
AS A MATTER
OF FACT, THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON OF SOVIET AND AMERICAN FAILURES IN
AFGHANISTAN.
OVER 70% TO
80% AREA OF AFGHANISTAN HAD ALWAYS BEEN UNDER THE CONTROL OF MUJAHEDEEN OR
TALIBAN.
ISRAEL ALSO KILLED
HUNDREDS OF HAMAS OPERATIVES AND DESTROYED THEIR ACTIVITY CENTRES AND ARMS
AND AMMUNITION THROUGH ITS SEVERAL MILITARY OPERATIONS BUT AGAIN ALL THESE
BECAME ACTIVE WITH MORE FORCE AND VITALITY

(Retd.) Gen. Aslam Baig
interview to ARY TV today shows why Army Operations will always
fail?
His Objection to
Military Operation?
Civil governments cannot
maintain peace after the Army clears it from miscreants and terrorists. He
had been part of 4 military operations in East and West Pakistan. He
always found that after Army successes, there were always failures of
civil governments to maintain the achievements of the Army in the area. It
means that the situation returned to the same anarchy and terrorism which
was prevalent before Army Operation.
In other words, such a
statement of Retd. Gen. Aslam Baig means that Army Operation has only a
temporary effect, as civil governments always fail to suppress
terrorism.
Army cannot be
kept continually engaged in North Waziristan. Now already 200,000 Army
personnel is engaged in that area. In such a situation how can we take
care of our Eastern borders, if India starts any trouble over there
against Pakistan?
