Pakistan looted by the Army . A second lieutenant becomes a general . On retirement all generals are billionaires . From where the money came ? It is a dead story . Who will listen ? We lost one part . In such a scenario the survival of the country looks bleak . The USSR disintegrated because of economic collapse . The Army was there . We are heading as a failed state . One must listen to it & understand the scenario . Allah Malik .

pakistan is a text book case of medieval oppression. its fate was sealed at partition by choosing feudalism instead of democracy. high intensity religious fervour was used for this purpose. the preoccupation with religion has been kept artificially high. it is in order to preserve the control of feudal vested interests. the path to decency is now very indecent. history of societies suggests that only a very violent upheaval could create a chance of freedom of the individual and democracy. despite it being a violent and violence approving society, there is no hint of such upheaval. good violence is totally absent, while there is a great deal of bad violence.

Convert the corp commander’s palaces and fancy clubs to IT and AI colleges. Strategic investment in human capital will make Pakistan strong and resilient. A public conversation is needed on new strategic framework to reverse the dangerous strategic drift.

Excellent analysis of the issues
It was a useful discussion and insight into the military political complex. She explained it well. Military is corrupt and they don’t even know it. DHA and military procurement process is corrupt . Unless independent biding process is adopted , corruption will remain . I agree with her that military capacity needs to be cut by 25%. Military needs to stop moving into agriculture areas. We are becoming like Egypt, everything is controlled by Army (CC). Country is poor , tourism and $1B from U.S. runs the country of 70M. No growth. Pakistan is 250 M nation, needs political stability and cuts in Military and government enterprises. Let the private sector develop the country.

Military's involvement in business is corruption. The private sector cannot develop unless military is removed from private sector. All militaries in normal countries are on a budget. They don't have these side businesses the way Pakistan army has. It's absolutely criminal. By some estimates they control 30% of the economy. Now in order to retain these goodies, they have to get involved in Politics to keep the system weak so one questions their crimes. This has been going on for 70 years.

Poor Questions, otherwise an insightful interview.
Ayesha Saddiqa is a bold and brave woman who is a great researcher on Pakistan military in Business and Military Procurement.
Aysha Madam, Thank you for your work for Pakistan... Even a loyal Army man shall also appreciate you...
The women of Pakistan are much more fierce, outspoken, and brave than the men. Asma Jahangir used to criticise the military’s role in politics with a fearlessness. Ayesha Siddiqua does not mince words about their corporate excesses. And now Mahrang Baloch is standing up to their oppression. When the men stop striking deals with them for their short-term gains and show courage like these women, Pakistan will finally be free from these uniformed tyrants.
Thanks for posting this informative discussion with Aysha Sadiqa, a great writer scholar.Though the state is not but people of Pakistan are proud of her research and brave presentation of her work.
fact based conversation... great video

A great account by Ayesha Siddiqua
My view point is that our intelligentsia and media always supported establishment and they never supported politicians since creation of pakistan. In other words media is in the hands of establishment and so is with so called intellectuals. So long as media and agents sitting in media do not realize and change their stance, Pakistan will not move forward an inch, alternatively establishment realize it.

Punjabis don't have that in them. Their genes r different. They r highly communist mindset. They think everything shd come as free . They don't understand economics. The jutt jamindar mindset hate Banias . Only Punjabi bania understand wealth creation . But they all were hindu and khatri and all went to India. This mindset is prevalent in Punjab of India too. That's why state fiscal r very bad . Punjabis have Zamindar mindset also called chaudhary mindset. They Only know how to take wealth by force on basis of muscle power . They also live in Foolish concept of martial race which British gave them , not bcoz they were better than others but bcoz they were most Loyal to British. Today Americans consider human quality by muscle as least desired. They know war is moving to total machines and tech that's why they r recruit large number of women in army too. But these Punjabi fojis will keep on extracting wealth from Pakistan forever. There is consensus in many Punjabi civilians too to support the fojis as most have some relative in foj .
Salute to such an impartial analyst Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa, as this kind of people can guide us towards the collective targets and goals. The readers are also commemorated for their worthy and ethical reflection. I felt a sense of hope for the Good of Pakistan not only from Dr. Ayesha speech but also from the reader comments. It is hoped that Pakistani Nation will overcome their issues in the near future.
What a analysis! Great
It’s unfortunate that people who can help the country are pushed out by establishment They only like those who play their games
I believe there was an Indian anchor or TV show host who said that every country has an army and Pakistani army is the only one that has a country, which basically means this country doesn’t qualify for label “country” but rather it should be called an army base.

Excellent discussion by Dr Siddiqa , true if Punjab is Bifurcated into 2/3 parts we will not have a repeat of East Pakistan 🇵🇰 as their will be parity among provinces , Both Russia 🇷🇺 & China 🇨🇳 have autonomous provinces with own flags along with central flags , For Pakistan best would be for center just deal wiith 3 subjects currency , defense & Foreign affairs , even the capital be moved perhaps out of Punjab away from Rawalpindi ! This may save Pakistan. From its capacity issues , resource distribution & equality for all ethnicities & save the country !

A.A , i love this show , and i have huge respect for mam ayesha siddiqa , she is great.
Very insightful, mature, and learned point of view. One thing that I do not agree with is that the atrocities meted out towards PTI workers are those who do not conform to the military establishment aren’t as hard as what happened to PPP workers in 1975 when Bhutto was detained. I think that the military has crossed cultural, human, and religious boundaries in such an uncouth, shameful, and barbaric manner that we had never seen earlier.
Great effort god bless you
