Pakistan MP Criticizes Army Over Kargil Martyrs
A big leader in Pakistan named Maulana Fazlur Rahman gave a strong speech criticizing the country's army.
He said the army didn't take care of its soldiers who died in a war called Kargil in 1999.
He also said the army uses the soldiers' sacrifices to avoid criticism but doesn't honor them properly.
This made many people upset, and some even asked him to apologize.
Rahman mentioned that the army only accepted one soldier's body after India insisted, and the Indian Army buried the other soldiers with Islamic rituals.
He accused the army of not telling the nation how many soldiers died or how many bodies were brought back.
Maulana Fazlur Rahman criticized the Pakistani military establishment and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their handling of the 1999 Kargil conflict.
He accused the army of abandoning its soldiers during the conflict and exploiting their sacrifices to shield itself from criticism.
Rahman mentioned that the army only accepted Colonel Sher Khan's body after India's insistence, with the Indian Army burying other soldiers with Islamic rituals.
His remarks have sparked controversy, with multiple cases registered against him and demands for an apology from defence officials.
Rahman's criticism suggests growing dissatisfaction with the military's role in Pakistan, extending beyond traditional opponents.
