Mysterious banners call on COAS to contest next general election
[DAWN] Mysterious banners urging Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... to contest the general elections in 2018 were spotted in Rawalpindi on Saturday, a few weeks ahead of the military chief's last day on duty. In bold letters, the banners call for 'no extension but reduction' -- asking for reduction from two to one year the minimum duration before a retired government servant can enter politics as well as urging General Raheel to enter the political arena and contest national elections in 2018. The banners call on the government and the opposition to bring to an end "their divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... politics". They also call on the general to enter politics in the hopes that "ties between the country's civil and military leadership can harmonise". The banners say there was hope that by taking part in the elections, [General] Raheel's party "will secure majority votes and he will be elected prime minister, leading the country on the path to becoming a success". The posters name a Sheikh Rasheed Amjad Ali, member of a group called the Awami Monitoring Cell (Rawalpindi), as the man who has organised the campaign. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-06 |
