SRK | 8 years ago | Reply COAS is meeting with foreign minister??? Why?? I don't have anything against military but there is democratic govt in place. Job of military is only to secure borders and support whenever requested by govt for internal security. To all who are praising military left & right, Pls do not respond to my comment with weak govt, corruption etc etc. rules must be followed in democracy and this will make eventually strong & corruption free govt.
