ISLAMABAD: Former President of Pakistan and Army chief General (Retd.) Pervez Musharraf has criticized on his successor General (retd.) Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani about his lenient attitude towards Taliban.
Giving interview to Dawn News, he said that it was Kayani’s own reluctance that caused him to not launch an operation.
“You see, the main issue is that when a government is inactive, it requires an army chief to go and coax it into action. That’s what Gen Raheel has done. So either Gen Kayani was scared or too reticent or too reserved. He did not want to go and discuss this matter.”
However General Musharraf gave satisfactory remarks about recent Military chief Gen Raheel Sharif and his visits to foreign leaders including Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chinese leadership.
He also talked about the world’s welcome attitude towards Army chief and said that “It’s not he who’s doing that, it’s those countries who are giving him that stature.”
He further said “The army is the only stabilising institution in Pakistan. That is why they give importance to the military chief. Especially when they also see the degree of bad governance going on. They want to see where the stability comes from. That is why they give him importance.”
“He should take it. He should be proud of it. Look, international relations largely depend on personalities.”
