Game of Power
The true ruling class in Pakistan is the military establishment, while the politicians are merely puppets, used as a camouflage.
An interview of former ISI chief General Hamid Gul sheds light on this game of power.
The conversation between a journalist and General Hamid Gul went as following:
Journalist: Sir, isn't it true that the Pakistani military establishment has been ruling more than democratic governments?
Hamid Gul: It is absolutely true, without a doubt the military establishment does rule more.
Journalist: Has the establishment ever asked anyone when making their decisions?
Hamid Gul: America likes dictators in countries like Pakistan, the reason is that in this case only one individual is making all the decisions.
The army chief in Pakistan is not made by our will, but by the will of America.
Journalist: You were on the verge of becoming an Army Chief, so why was it that in end you were not made the army chief?
Hamid Gul: America did not like me, so I was not made the army chief.
When I didn't make it, sweets were distributed inside the Indian embassies.
Gul Badin Hekmatyar wrote in his book that Ghulam Ishaq Khan said that America would not like General Hamid Gul. Naturally such things highlight our submission to American dictation, how much we are compelled, our freedom is just a facade.
We were given a country but we were not given freedom.
My name was on the first place on the list of sent out by GHQ, ask General Baig. A list of six names was sent out, Asif Nawaz's number was six.
The person who was on sixth position was made the army chief because here an army chief is not made without America's approval.

What is slavery?
Unable to truly taste the beautiful things in life!
"Don't trust what a slave calls to be beautiful...
The eyesight of a slave can't be trusted...
For only free people poses the ability to see things truthfully!"
Dear readers!
This is a brief glimpse of the ongoing behind-the-scenes conspiracies in Pakistan. In this country, whoever dared to quarrel with the military establishment, has been thrown off from the ladder of power.
Look at the history:
From the execution of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif and Yousuf Raza Gilani etc. all were removed from the chair of rule at the behest of the establishment.
While, fake elections have been giving the parties loyal to the establishment a chance to rule. In this way the establishment's game of power continues.
