This officer should be court martialed

[Watandar]

Students behaving like a mob....

University officials abusing their authority.....

A military officer entering a university in uniform and firing shots....

People celebrating violence against him.....

Political nut jobs turning everything into propaganda.....

Journalists choosing sides instead of facts....

This isn't one side being right and the other wrong....

This is what societal breakdown looks like...

Agree. And it all goes back to repeatedly violating the Constitution, imposing dictatorship and ruling by the gun. As they say "What goes around comes around".

Constitutionalism and obeying the law brings political stability and minimizes violence in society but try explaining that these Kakul and Pakistan Service Academy dimwits.

This entire thread basically sums up what’s wrong with the country. It’s not a big deal that a personal incident happened and someone happened to be wearing a uniform. If it were politicians or businessmen, people would’ve forgotten about it by now because, as Oscar mentioned, they have other levers to pull.

Military guys just went gung-ho, and that’s it. It’s not even the first time something like this has happened. Something similar happened when a motorway police officer took away an SSG pistol and they beat the shit out of him lmao.

The real issue is that PTI twats need a news cycle, and they got one. Now the entire social media is lit up trying to malign the institution. I’ve never seen them this effective on other actual issues, bas aik colonel ke peechay par gaye hain. He’ll surely get punished, but the broader degradation of society being amplified by the specific echochamber is insane.

And the biggest chutiya getting the most kick out of all this is @Watandar.

It depends on how you define "PTI".... From what I am seeing on SM, nearly 80% seem to be condoning/celebrating the grabbing of the Army officer by the collar......... I believe many of them aren’t PTI/cultists at all... they are Aam Awam simply fed up with the badmashi of the wardi mafia and have lost whatever sympathy they once had for those who abuse institutional power..... Such apathy, however undesirable and ultimately detrimental to the country, is hardly difficult to understand.....

And it’s not just the PTI cultists... PMLN patwaris, along with the usual bootlicker brigade, have a reflexive habit of blaming everything under the sun on PTI......... Some even went so far as to give this incident a racial angle, labelling the students as "anti-Pak Afghanis" just to manufacture a defence for the conduct of the Army officer........ In the end, it’s political nutjobs on both sides peddling propaganda, each adding their own share to the tearing apart of our social fabric...... The only difference between them is that PTI cultists happens to be on the short end of the stick right now.... The spin may be real, but so are many of the grievances beneath it...

As for @Watandar he is a perfectly reasonable poster in my experience.... You may disagree with his views, but trying to insult someone simply for thinking differently is uncalled for....

"Maybe the high and mighty Pak Fauj should uphold the standards it claims to abide by" Fair enough. If someone abuses public resources or acts above the law, hold them accountable. Nobody is arguing otherwise.

But spare me the selective outrage. “Hamare tax ke paiso ki pistol chala raha tha” suddenly makes it everyone’s moral duty to ridicule an entire institution? Apply that same standard when it’s your beloved politicians and their families.

PTI assholes should remember Hassan Niazi, Imran Khan’s nephew, who was caught on video participating in the 2019 PIC hospital riot. He stormed a hospital, assaulted people, smashed property, and patients died during the chaos. Yet somehow the outrage around Niazi’s accountability became a political sideshow.

So yes, live by the sword, die by the sword. If the colonel fucked up, punish him. But don’t pretend abuse of power is some uniquely military phenomenon or that every individual’s misconduct is proof that an entire institution is rotten.

If you actually believe in accountability, apply the same standard to everyone. Otherwise this is just partisan outrage wearing a fake moral costume.

Poor choice of example. That Niazi guy is in jail as long as Khan is. Milgai usse comeuppance.

Cause at the end of the day he was a bloody civilian. I am just asking for a little fairness here

What this Colonel did as bad as it was, from his POV he was doing it all for family and love. So a crime of passion. Chorde isko

There are plenty of faujis who do stuff even worse than this for plots, for women etc. Just like many Pakistanis do but the difference is their gang is too strong for the law to even think about punishing them.
