Two decades later, little has changed.The Election for Pennsylvanias High Court. Only once in a while would someone use this term in the newspapers to refer to the top brass of the Pakistan army. But while the term ‘Crore Commanders’ gained wide currency in Pakistan, it was normally used only in hushed tones behind closed doors. The delectable twist given by the JI chief to the positions held by the most powerful officers of the Pakistan Army succinctly summed up the capture of the Pakistani state, society and economy by the military. It was in late October 1998 that Qazi Husain Ahmed, the then Emir of the Jamaat Islami (JI) – the mother-ship of political Islam in Pakistan – for the first time dared the Pakistan army and said the generals are not Corps Commanders but ‘Crore Commanders’.
If at all it is being discussed, it is only on Social Media and online platforms, and even there the ‘deep state’ is doing everything possible to block the social media handles and websites where it is being discussed. A scandal that should have been the most covered story in newspapers and TV talk shows is conspicuous by its absence, hushed up almost as if it never happened. Asim Bajwa has been completely blanked out from the mainstream media of Pakistan. OLX has more than 160,000 visitors per month and OLX ‘s 2010 average and annual US dollar income is equivalent to 6,000,000 (Sixty Lac).A recent expose of undisclosed and unexplained wealth of close family members – wife and sons – of former Corps Commander Quetta and current Chairman of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Authority Lt.

The foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi who is trying very hard to inveigle himself with the military raised doubts over the authenticity of the story.

Clearly, for Imran Khan corruption is merely a tool for persecuting his opponents and clearing the political field so that he alone can rule till eternity.But the Asim Bajwa scandal is as much about the selective accountability as it is a statement on the rot that is there in the top echelons of the Pakistan Army, which is not just the largest and most powerful political party in Pakistan and the de facto government, but also the biggest and most diverse business conglomerate and land owner in the country. But not Bajwa.That this cover-up is happening under a government that has ostensibly been singularly focussed on accountability and corruption in government speaks volumes for Imran Khan’s version of ‘ Riyasat-e-Medina’. The hypocrisy of the current dispensation which has gone with a vengeance after alleged acts of omission and commission of opposition politicians but has been extremely protective and selective of dodgy characters in its own ranks is of course an open secret in Pakistan. Top politicians, including Presidents, Prime Ministers, cabinet ministers, senior civil servants, have been disqualified, even jailed, for much less. Nobody however refuted the documentary evidence against Bajwa or the misrepresentation by Bajwa of his and his wife’s assets when he filed a declaration after being appointed as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister. And then there were the troll corps members who immediately labelled it as a conspiracy against CPEC and a R&AW operation, a theme that was also towed by Bajwa’s son.
India can waitGenerals, serving and retired, have been involved in taking handouts from foreign potentates, taking up jobs in foreign companies, getting employed by local businessmen to peddle influence, helping their family members to do dodgy deals, using their positions to trade favours especially with businessmen under a cloud, indulging in good old fashioned extortion and protection rackets especially in disturbed areas like Balochistan, taking commissions on defence contracts (even with the Chinese).The former military dictator Gen Pervez Musharraf took millions of dollars from the Saudi king to buy apartments in Dubai and London. The only difference is that while the civilians are dragged through mud for even the slightest infraction, the military officers remain immune from any such action.Also read: Pakistan’s enemy number one is Israel now. What these scandals indicate is only that notwithstanding all their pretensions of being the guardians of Pakistan’s ideological and territorial frontiers, the knights in their Teflon coated uniforms unsullied by corruption and scandal, officers of the Pakistan Army are as prone to dipping their hands in the till as their civilian counterparts. But even then, there isn’t really any action taken, unless the officers involved have fallen out of favour or the scandal simply cannot be brushed under the carpet.Over the last two decades there are any number of serious scandals involving people at the very top of the Pakistan Army’s food chain. Even so, every once in a while some of the scandals tumble out and become public. Everyone knows what has happened and who is involved, but no one says it openly or publicly.
Two former National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairmen, both retired 3-star generals, benefited from windfall gains that came their way as a result of LPG quotas allotted to them by a businessman who was being investigated by NAB. The conflict of interest has also cast a shadow over generals who were responsible for the accountability process, both in the Musharraf regime and after the civilian façade was restored. He has hired former ISI officers and ISPR heads apart from other high profile retirees to further his business interests.While post-retirement employment is not illegal, there are serious questions of propriety and conflict of interest that crop up, especially when the generals use their influence to advance commercial interests of their employers.
While the two 3-star generals were let off by a military court, the 2-star general was punished by being ‘dismissed from service’. There was a huge furore when allegations of “misconduct, misappropriation, misdemeanour and misadventure” were made against three former generals for causing a loss of around Rs 200 Crore by investing funds of the National Logistics Cell (NLC) in the stock market in exchange of commissions and kickbacks. Despite references being filed in the case there has been no movement for years.
The generals in Balochistan are alleged to be involved in drug smuggling, general smuggling – Ejaz Shahid had procured a non-custom duty paid fancy sports car for his son and it was an accident of this car that blew the whole scam in public – protection rackets, extortion, and every other illegal activity possible. Obviously this amount was a fraction of the money the general made as IGFC. Ejaz Shahid was made to deposit Rs 5 Crores with the GHQ as punishment. The 3-star general, Obaidullah Khattak, was alleged to have made Rs 1500 Crores in his three years as IGFC. Both the 3-star and the 2-star generals had served as Inspector General of the Frontier Corps which has been virtually calling the shots in the province. In 2016 when nearly a dozen other officers including a 3-star and a 2-star general were sacked on charges of corruption, it exposed the underbelly of the military officers activities in Balochistan.
