In Pakistan almost all the institutions necessary for the proper functioning of the state have been jeopardised by the virus of social, economic or political corruption. The only reason for the mal-functioning of all the institutions is the lack or absence of genuine democracy in which all the nationalities get their due rights. Unfortunately the military establishment of Pakistan has been in power to decide the fate of billions of people for most part of Pakistani history due to which democracy could not flourish in Pakistan.

Due to revolution of media and restoration of Judicial dignity - the two beautiful mistakes of Musharraf regimne, the military intervention is now considered as unjustified even by the common man and no one except the feudal class of Punjab or Wadera shahi of Sindh is ready to accept the discontinuity of genuine political process in the national interest of Pakistan. The economic empire of the military establishment as a result of being in power for more than half of Pakistan history has already been exposed by Ayehsa Siddiqa in her much appreciated work "Military Incorporated". .

The role of military regime lead by Musharraf - the defacto head of state and government and dejure chief of army (hopefully till 15th Nov. 2007), in delivering "quality assured" services to the "land of the poor" at the end of his second term are important to be analysed to question his indispensibility for Pakistan.

The political charge sheet against Musharraf regime is as follows:.

1) It became ally ,against all known human standards of self respect and national interest , with the United States for its war on terror which has already been exposed by the world community as a spoiled war for oil.

2) It sacrificed the lives of hundreds of security personnel to kill innocent Pashtuns on both sides of the durand line alleging them as taliban just to justify its role as a hired security force.

3) It challenged the sanctity of Judiciary and used immoral tactics including force,extortion, pressure ,threats and beating those who resited.

4) It gave a fake and imaginary vision to the masses which gave a palliative catharsis to the latent hatred and rebellion of the masses against the system and its beneficiaries.

5) It supported MQM which killed hundreds of innocent people of its political rivals such as ANP,JI ,PTI and PPP twice during its tenure.

6) Due to its visionless and unpopular policies ,the military regime destroyed the institutions due to which it is difficult even for the middle class people of Pakistan to live an honorable life in Pakistan.

All military regimes bring new gifts to its people.The gifts of current military regime are also as destructive as were those of its predecessor General Zia who toppled the popularly elected government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto,offered the services of army to US for fighting its war in Afghanistan against former USSR for containing the Saur revolution,exploited the slogan of "Islamisation" to win the sympathies of masses,fabricated sectarian religeous groups to polarise the society on sectarian basis,established Mahajir Qaumi Movement - an ethnic party to counteract Pakistan Peoples Party in Sindh,formed IJI - the fabricated king's party to support his regime politically, andu used religious parties to strengthen his regime.

Musharraf also followed the benchmarks laid in the past but with new names and modus operandi as he also toppled the government of Nawaz Sharif,offered the services of army to US for fighting its so called war on terror in Afghanistan,exploited the slogan of "Pakistan first" to win the sympathies of masses,projected the idea of "Enlighted moderation" to divide the society into two camps - extremists and moderates,re-enforced the strategic depth policy using Taliban to destabilise Afghanistan which backfired when the same elements extended their circle of activities to the Pashtun belt of Pakistan,formed the fabricated PML(Q) as the king�s party to counter act PML(N)and used the religious parties to legitmise his regime.

The military and civil establishment of Pakistan love to compete with India in every walk of life so much so that they had to hire a ex-banker as PM when Dr Man Mohan became PM in India.The only area in which Pakistan loses its sense of competition is the proud status of India being the largest democracy in the world and the logical consequence of this status to be the next probable super power. Having been ruled by the previosly revered army for more than 3 decades, there is no comparison of Pakistan with India where an army chief cannot even think of snatching the reigns of power due to the existence of strong institutions.

It is time for the military to call it a day once and for all and restrict itself to its profession which has already suffered an irrepairable loss of sanctity due to its frequent intervention in the political affairs of the country.
