[vinnomot] Military’s meddling in politics won’t benefit country: Former CA warned

Former chief justice and chief adviser Muhammad Habibur Rahman said last Sunday that it was axiomatic that military interference in politics and administration could not benefit a country. Bangalees are not bestowed with any special attributes that they should prove otherwise.He also added that the present government will have to take the responsibility for the uncertainties they have caused by suspending the democratic process and they have to be cautious so that they do not harm the country by their overzealous activities.

It is time for the metropolitan elites in political basket cases like Thailand and Pakistan to recognize that politics has its own dynamic. Instead of simply railing against "imperfect politicians" and thereby virtually advancing the argument for non-political solutions like coups d'etat, the educated middle classes should work with existing political parties and gradually advance the transition and transformation so eagerly sought by civil society.
