Pakistan defense Budget has been presented in national assembly for debate, and few people are criticizing it, they think that Pakistan army is angel and they should allowed to use nations resources unchecked. They think that only Pakistan army can save Pakistan. They forget army’s role in division of Pakistan.
Contrary to this, Pakistan present government and every citizen of Pakistan can sense danger of America’s operation in Pakistani tribal areas, or afghan invasion as afghan president threated to do so. In these circumstances, Pakistan should increase it defense budget but again, increasing the defence budget is not the solution for a country who is facing severe shortage of food and Power.
Because ammunition is not effective weapon against extremism and terrorism, to prove this, one can take example of ace agreement between local taliban and Newly elected government of NWFP which result in sufficient decrease in suicide bombing inside Pakistan.
Terrorism and extremism can only be controlled by education and development of the region, not by carpet bombing, not by military operations.Those who believe that war is ultimate solution should know that Pakistan army is not even capable to fight local taliban and this clearly proved in Swat operation which was conducted before elections. How Pakistan army will fight against American army??
By these arguments I want to say that new government should decrease the defense budget instead of increasing, cause war is not a solution and Tax payer money should be spend for constructive and for development project, not on feeding White elephant.
