Sex and Spies: Has Pakistan army been using actors to honey trap politicians?
The Military’s Grip on Power
Since its inception, Pakistan has oscillated between military and civilian rule, with the army often exerting significant influence over political affairs. Even during periods of civilian governance, the military has maintained control over key aspects of national policy, undermining democratic processes and institutions.
| General | Duration of Rule | Yeards | Type | Civilian Overthrown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ayub Khan | 1958–1969 | 11 | Martial Law | Iskander Mirza |
| Yahya Khan | 1969–1971 | 2 | Martial Law | Ayub Khan resigned |
| Zia-ul-Haq | 1977–1988 | 11 | Martial Law | Zulfikar Ali Bhutto |
| Pervez Musharraf | 1999–2008 | 7 | Coup & Emergency Rule | Nawaz Sharif |
For 32 Years Pakistan was directly occupied by Corrupt Generals. During the rest of the period Pakistani Generals had indirect stranglehold on Pakistan.

Corruption at the Highest Levels
Reports have highlighted numerous instances of financial misconduct among Pakistan’s military leadership:
- Land and Property Scandals: Former Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani’s brothers were implicated in a multi-billion rupee housing scandal in Islamabad.
- Overseas Investments: Lieutenant General Asim Saleem Bajwa’s family reportedly invested tens of millions of dollars in overseas businesses, including a U.S.-based pizza chain, raising questions about the sources of their wealth
- Lavish Entitlements: Retired generals often receive extensive benefits, including large land allotments and tax exemptions, contributing to a culture of entitlement and excess.
The military’s dominance has had detrimental effects on Pakistan’s economy:
- Resource Diversion: Significant national resources are allocated to military-run businesses and real estate ventures, diverting funds from essential public services.
- Investor Confidence: The military’s interference in political and economic matters has created an unpredictable business environment, deterring foreign investment.
- Debt and Deficits: Persistent military spending contributes to fiscal deficits, exacerbating the country’s debt burden.
Efforts to hold the military accountable have often been met with resistance:
- Political Manipulation: The military has been accused of influencing elections and undermining civilian leaders who challenge its authority.
- Crackdowns on Protest: Peaceful demonstrations, particularly in regions like Balochistan, have been met with heavy-handed responses, including enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.
For Pakistan to achieve sustainable development and democratic stability, it is imperative to establish civilian supremacy over the military. This includes:
- Uprising : Standing against the oppression by Generals
- Transparent Auditing: Implementing independent audits of military expenditures and business ventures.
- Legal Reforms: Ensuring that military personnel are subject to the same legal standards as civilians, particularly concerning corruption and abuse of power.
- Empowering Institutions: Strengthening civilian institutions to resist undue military influence and uphold democratic norms
