Dear Sir, Assalam O Allaikum!
I would not go into details and let myself be in a short time frame.
1. I would like to draw the serious attention of Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kyani towards the crippled and dismal set up of the Mujahid Officers and troops who are sent on the de-activated strength. Now the time calls for their professional skill prepared for any unpleasant situation in the country. They come in the Mujahid Trainning Units for a very short period of time and utilizing the huge ammount of national money and getting nothing so special which could be most effective for the integrity and security of the country. The officers should be given the option to show more patriotic services for the country on the whole time basis. They come to training just like civilian people and go back to their civil like and might be tarnishing the good name of Pakistan Army.
2. Secondly, now the de-activated mujahid troop can be easily approached to the military installations. Either they should be screened out to the permanent employment or given the chance to leave the set-up, untill any unpleasant incident happens.
3. Good profile de-activated Mujahid Officers should be taken into confidence regarding their future career lest they should be used into foreign hands.
with best regards!
sincerely,
M. Razaq
