COAS Calls for Shunning Naya and Purana Pakistan

Recently, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa made a call to shun the terms Naya and Purana Pakistan during a seminar at the Heavy Industry Taxila. This statement has ignited a debate about the role of military leadership in the political arena of Pakistan.

The use of these terms has become quite common in Pakistan’s political discourse, with Naya Pakistan representing the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan for a new and improved Pakistan and Purana Pakistan referring to the existing system that is rife with corruption and inefficiency.

In this blog post, we will examine the implications of the COAS’s call to shun these terms, the response of the parliament, and the wider debate about the role of the military in Pakistan’s politics.

What is Naya and Purana Pakistan?

The terms Naya and Purana Pakistan are used to describe the new and old versions of Pakistan. Naya Pakistan represents the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan to create a new and improved Pakistan based on the principles of justice, equality, and prosperity.

It is an ambitious plan to transform Pakistan’s economy and social infrastructure, which has been marred by years of corruption and mismanagement.

On the other hand, Purana Pakistan refers to the existing system that is marred by corruption, nepotism, and inefficiency.

The use of these terms has become quite popular in Pakistan’s political discourse, with politicians from various parties using them to attack their opponents. However, some critics have pointed out that the constant use of these terms has led to a polarizing political environment, where it is becoming increasingly difficult to have a constructive dialogue between different political factions.

The COAS’s call to shun these terms is an attempt to move beyond this polarizing political environment and focus on the national interest of Pakistan.

Response of the Parliament

The COAS’s call to shun Naya and Purana Pakistan has been met with mixed responses from the parliament of Pakistan. While some members of the National Assembly have praised the call, others have criticized it for interfering in the political affairs of the country.

Military Leadership’s Role in the Political Arena
