Such questions were expected against the backdrop of the army chief’s call for steps to curb corruption as the battle against terrorism could not be won with widespread corruption eating away at the vitals of society.

Many observers said his statement that came on the heels of the Panama Papers leak amounted to ’interference’ in the civilian domain and advised him to also focus on corruption within his institution.

But insiders defended their chief, saying he was not asking anyone to do what he wasn’t doing within his own rank and file. "His men have responded to his call and have taken casualties in several thousands in the fight against terrorism. He will demonstrate how he respects their memory and will not tolerate wrongdoing within his institution," said one source.

Before further ado, the ’dismissals’ news was leaked to the media though officially it took the army’s spokesperson a couple of weeks to confirm it in passing during a TV interview where he wouldn’t give any further details.
