When Generals Rule and Generation Pay the Price

I was reading the viral article by a Gen Z, Nizamani and felt that I was listening to Mamdani the Mayor of New York another Gen Z. As a baby boomer I must be worried about the situation and acknowledge that it is really over, but the occupant generals, bureaucrats and so-called puppet politicians will not understand that the time for baby boomers is over and ready to listen the music of Gen z and Alpha. We must go back in the history of Pakistan where the generals took over the country and drove it into desolation. First General came to power in 1957 and left the country in humiliation in the beginning he was a hero when he left he was called a dog, I must say he was better than all other occupiers, the country saw some development, infrastructure, industry and agriculture improving, In one part of the country looks better but in other part the hate and felling of betrayal growing, the credit of development can not be given to army general the credit goes to efficient and patriots buroucrates young and energetic graduates took part in Pakistan movement with Quaid Azam and played a crucial role to establish the different departments of country, the baby boomers of the time sincer, educated and full of energy. In the development phase, democracy was lost and naked dictatorship emerged.

The first general left and handed over the country to the second general the worst and evil the dark phase of history people of Pakistan face, the country was divided into two West Pakistan and Bangladesh lot of bloodshed and shameful defeat and a surrender of Muslim soldiers never seen in history.

After the country broke we saw a brief period of the worst democracy under civil martial law all the development, industry and infrastructure were destroyed, nationalized and given to unskilled political appointees.

This so-called democracy ended with another general and martial law this dark period continues for ten years during this period the ex-Prime minister hung ,the social fabric and culture of Pakistan were replaced with militant Mullahs, klasnkouf, drugs and Afghan refugees no development, no industry flow of US$ $ to defeat the USSR.

After the defeat and destruction of USSR American interest ended they left the region abruptly left Afghanistan and Pakistan stranded in a state of civil war and the Military general died with most of his associates in a mysterious plane crash, he was useless for US interests.

The democracy and civil government begins under the supervision of the military leaders the civilian leaders actually the military puppetsts rule the country for a while and wrote the unbelievable story of corruption, nepotism, and unrest in the country.

Finally another general took over the country, the world change after 911 and US decided to go to war in Afghanistan the military and general got new life US $ again started flowing into the hands of the military, they sold the country and people for their personal gain, handed over military bases and people in return for the $. This dark period began again for ten years over eighty thousand Pakistanis died in this proxy war and estimated billions of $ worth infrastructure and property destroyed, finally, this general gone and puppet politicians under the military took over and this musical chair game still continues.

The Army has taken over the whole country, all the major industries, Real estate, agriculture, foreign affairs, judiciary, election commission, and changed the whole system they are in control they are the judge, jury and executioner, The last few years Army has shown it's true color they have proven mercenary, with the help of puppet politicians the generals are ruling, the legitimit elected government toppled on the instructions of US officials, election rigged and winner and legimit leaders are put in jail any opposition crushed by force.

I am truly believe the generals are responsible for the plight of Pakistan, people of Pakistan still love the armed forces but hate the generals their true colours are open now.

It is proven they are uneducated and very narrow minds, high school graduates tend to obey not to rule, they bring destruction when they take power with force. Pakistan is in trouble, a mountain of debt major infrastructure is being sold for pledge to get more loans, inflation is killing poor people, suicide rate going high, brain drain is on the rise, people are leaving the country and going wherever they get a chance.

My dear Gen Z and Alpha generation as baby boomers we are sorry, we have failed don't know what your future will be.
