If there is a physical combat between Army and civilians it
is normal, if there is a scuffle between police and civilian again it seems
usual and purposeful but it is very enthralling when there is a dustup between
the army personals and police patrolling staff of motorway. Captain Danial and
Captain Qasim were signalled to stop due to their incautious and reckless
driving on Peshawar-Islamabad motorway near Attock. The two Army captains did
not pay attention to the signals and sped away. The interesting point is when
the motorway petrol team pursued and caught them, captain Qasim pointed a
pistol at the petrol team while the second captain; captain Danial called
nearby army for help. Within few minutes, four vehicles carrying a Major namely
Major Zafar with more than 20 soldiers reached there, assaulted the poor petrol
police and saved their captains. More than that, they not only assaulted the
petrol policeman on the spot rather took him to a secret place wrongfully and
after an intervention of higher police officers they made the policeman free.
Like the civilians are being charged, these two captains
should be treated in the same way. Law should not be unequal for different
people of the same society. No one should be allowed to take illicit advantage
of their positions.
Using the weapons against the lawful and responsible
officers should be categorized illegal, and the people irrespective of what
institution they belong to, if they intimidate the law enforcing agencies (like
captain Qasim and captain Danial did) should be charged and an FIR should be
registered on such people.
It is also heard that in December, Tehrik-i-insaf senator Mr.
Nauman Wazir was also humiliated by the military personals at a check post near Nowshera. To stop such harassments, misuse of weapons, and misuse of the positions an investigation should be done and COAS
should order an inquiry into the incident so that there shouldn't remain any confusion among the
public.
