New Delhi/Lahore, Dec. 12: In the wake of last month’s terror attacks in Mumbai, Pakistan and India are apparently in disagreement right now about the best way forward in dealing with the menace of terrorism, but according to experts, neither President Asif Ali Zardari nor Chief of Army Staff, General Asfaq Parvez Kayani can be seen to be folding to Indian demands.
According to Shuja Nawaz, the author of "Crossed Swords: Pakistan, Its Army, and the Wars Within", General "Kayani has a much more liberal outlook" than past Army chiefs, but adds that in the process of reforming the Army and taking it back towards its core responsibilities, he will seek to ensure that it retains a say in matters of state.
