Pakistan Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani’s announcement to retire on November 29 was a lead story in his country’s media. Some newspapers had bannered it. Opposition leader Syed Khurshid Shah welcomed the statement. In fact, there has been relief all over including in India that Kayani had announced his exit.
This was primarily because Kayani was considered an ambitious general. Moreover, it was believed that there might be another coup because such has been the practice in the past. But fortunately, Kayani had come out in the open on what his plans were. “I am grateful to the political leadership and the nation for reposing their trust in me and Pakistan Army this important juncture of our national history.
However, I share the general opinion that institutions and traditions are stronger than individuals and must take precedence.” The perception about Pakistan is that the army can walk in whenever it likes. The coups first by General Mohammad Ayub, then by General Zia and finally by General Parvez Musharraf have given the impression that although the army goes back to the barracks, its influence does not wane.
