General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani,

Chief of Army Staff, Pakistan Army,

General Headquarters, Rawalpindi.

        Dear

I hope you are fine. I request you to give me just one minute for reading this please.

Both the Political and the Military Leadership have to answer the following questions posed by people of Pakistan in connection of the blatant military operation conducted by US Forces against Osama bin Laden near PMA Kakul, Abbotabad, on 02 May 2011:

(1)  Is Pakistan a sovereign and an independent Country or has it been subjugated

      already by USA ? Why USA is not demanded to submit a written and public apology

      for violating our sovereignty and committing murders? Why logistic support to them

      is still continuing through Pakistan? Is USA our friend or the worst enemy? When

      shall we wake up to this stark reality?

(2)  Why the Pak Army and the PAF failed to react effectively to an open aggression

      against Pakistan by USA? Why the ground troops did not kill the attackers? Why

      were the helicopters not shot down? So what if we had lost the planes in the air

      during the dog fight? We have taken oath for the same, isn’t it?

(3)  Why ISI, IB and Police failed to detect the presence of Osama in Pakistan? ISI gave

      clue of his message courier to Americans and then went to sleep, is it so?

(4)  Why are we spending almost half of our annual national budget on our Armed

      Forces and intelligent agencies if they cannot deliver in times of our dire need?

(5)  What happened to solemn assurances of COAS to Pakistani Nation of asking it “to

      trust Pak Army in defending Pakistan till last” just few days back in PMA and talking

      of “no development at the cost of our honor” on Yaum-e-Shohada (30 Apr)? Were

      all those lies and hollow slogans?

(6)  After this grand and clear failure, should Pakistanis have any more trust on you: the

      COAS, the CAS, the DG ISI, the President and PM of Pakistan for defending

      Pakistan and protecting the people of Pakistan?

(7)  Will the COAS, the CAS and the DG ISI resign immediately for their utter failure to

      defend Pakistan and then face the worst consequences?

(8)  Why has the COAS virtually taken over the country and started handling Pakistan’s

      Defence Policy and Foreign Policy? Is it martial law again on the quiet? Where was

      the PM along with his cabinet and the President of Pakistan along with his cronies in

      the time of this national crisis? Are they meant to do the looting only? Why is Pak

      Army protecting such incompetent, characterless and corrupt leaders? Is our 1973

      Constitution above Quran and Pakistan? Where should our people go then?

(9)  Why the Nation is being kept in dark by both political as well as military leadership

      about this very serious violation of our national sovereignty and defence? How this

      National Emergency was handled? The President was seen giving oath as usual,

      the PM left the country on a trivial visit. The COAS kept quiet for days. Is this the

      way you lead and defend us? Isn’t it clear cut cowardice on the part of all our

      leaders?

(10) Will we not be looked down upon now by the entire world? What a shame?

       Why Pakistan has been humiliated once again? What if ours is declared as a

       terrorist state and then attacked through all means for destroying it? What if our

       nuclear and economic assets are attacked? Are our nuclear assets in our control

       in the first place ? We have reason to doubt it now indeed.

(11) Will the present Chief of the Armed Forces (the President), the PM, the COAS, the

       CAS, the DGISI and other senior officers in the chain be ready for trial under the

       laws of the land for failure to do their constitutional and national duties of defending

       and protecting Pakistan ?

No one can hide and get away any more. The above and hundreds of more questions have to be answered. The case of deceitful release of Raymond Davis is still fresh in every body’s mind. Osama’s killing by foreign troops deep inside Pakistan is the latest. The hypocrisy and character-failing are destroying us. People now have genuine doubts about the competence and commitment of our leadership, about our defence and intelligence capabilities. These cannot be ignored any more. We feel totally unsafe and condemned as a Nation. Let us not repeat the history of East Pakistan. The earlier we put the house in order, the better it would be. I guess some major changes are now overdue. Some heads must be rolling; yes ruthless accountability is a must now.

Sir, please speak out and convince the Nation that the above questions are ill-founded and totally wrong. Present the facts as they are to convince us all and take exemplary punitive actions. ISPR releases will not do. Salman’s words are meaningless. Otherwise, all of you may resign and face the consequences please.

We are in a state of shock and disbelief. Allah may grant us the courage and character to speak the truth, defend Pakistan and its people! Allah may bless us all !  Ameen !

With best regards,

                                                                                                                 Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                                  Brig ( R) Muhammad Ali.
