General Bajwa's service expansion challenged
Pakistanis do not have 'faith' on its own Army Chief!
NOV 27 (WTN) - Democracy in Pakistan is just a joke always. There are elections held in Pakistan to show the whole world and there is an elected government in Pakistan, but in fact, the elected governments of Pakistan have been working under the pressure of the Pakistan Army. History has witnessed how the elected governments have been overthrown in Pakistan. Pakistan's military has always interfered in Pakistan's foreign and home policy. Pakistan's current Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has also been following the same policy, but Bajwa, the supreme officer of the Pakistan Army, is facing trouble these days and has started getting challenged.
For your information, let us know that the order of extension of service of Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has been temporarily suspended by the Supreme Court. According to experts in the politics of Pakistan, the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan can have far-reaching consequences. Following this decision of the Supreme Court, Prime Minister Imran Khan called an emergency cabinet meeting, which approved the extension of service of General Qamar Javed Bajwa. According to the information, in order to legalize the extension of General Bajwa's term, the Pakistan Army Act has been amended and the word 'extension' has also been added to it.
Now you must be thinking that while there have been military dominates in Pakistan and General Qamar Bajwa is getting an extension in service, then where and why he is getting challenged. For your information before telling about it, let us know that Pakistan is a Muslim country and there are many big constitutional posts in Pakistan on which only a Muslim can be appointed or elected. At the same time, not every Muslim in Pakistan has the right to be appointed or elected in these positions, because only mainstream Muslims can sit on these posts in Pakistan.
Now Qamar Bajwa is in trouble because he is being accused of his religious identity. For your information, let us know that in the recent in the Peshawar High Court of Pakistan, former Major Khalid Shah challenged the appointment of Bajwa in his petition on the grounds that he belongs to the Kandiyani community. Actually, the Kandiyani community in Pakistan is known as Ahmadiyya Muslims and the mainstream considers them non-Muslims. Khalid Shah's petition also named former ISI DG Rizwan Akhtar that he did not fulfill his duty of being Muslim, as he (Rizwan Akhtar) did not inform the government that Bajwa does not come from the Muslim community.
Actually, according to the constitution of Pakistan, a non-Muslim person cannot be appointed an Army Chief. The mainstream Muslims of Pakistan consider the Kandiyani community as non-Muslim; hence the extension of service of the Army Chief is illegal in this petition. For your information, let us know that in the month of August, the Imran Khan Government of Pakistan extended the tenure of General Bajwa for three years. This is not the first time that a controversy has arisen over the religious identity of General Bajwa. In November 2016, when the immediate Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif appointed Bajwa as the Army Chief, there was a lot of controversy about the religious identity of Bajwa.
The appointment of Bajwa to the post of General was opposed by many MPs and radical leaders of Pakistan. Those opposing argued that Bajwa's relatives are Ahmadis. For your information, let us know that the people of the Ahmadiyya sect have suffered from persecution for a long time in Pakistan due to their beliefs and traditions. In Pakistan, people of the Ahmadiyya sect are called Kafirs. At the same time, people of the Ahmadiyya community cannot even call themselves Muslims as legal and their patriotism is also criticized. Not only this, the fourth caliph of the Ahmadiyya sect had to leave the country and go to London because of the restrictions of the Government of Pakistan.
In the year 1974, Pakistan made the Ahmadis a non-Muslim minority community by making a constitutional amendment. At the same time, a law was passed in the year 1984, in which it was declared a crime for Ahmadis to identify themselves as Muslims. Although, many of the top military posts in Pakistan have been held by the Ahmadis, for a long time a large section in Pakistan is unhappy about the religious identity of General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Even at the time of Bajwa's appointment to the post of General, some hardliners may be forced to remove his name from the list of contenders for the post of Army Chief.
However, behind the extension of General Bajwa's term, the Imran Khan government had cited the unusual circumstances of Kashmir and Afghanistan. But now it has to be seen what harm they have to suffer due to General Bajwa from the Ahmadiyya sect. By the way, it is being said that this time is very troublesome for Imran Khan. On one hand, Pakistan's economic condition has become much worse, on the Kashmir issue, Pakistan has been beating by India on every front. At the same time, Imran Khan is afraid that by taking advantage of these conditions, General Bajwa should not a coup. Under these circumstances, the expansion of service of General Bajwa and the relationship between General Bajwa and Imran Khan will be determined.
