Kayani unhappiness over civilian control on Army, Wikileaks





KARACHI: General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani could have overthrown the government if he had wanted to, but it’s what he aimed at, WikiLeaks revealed.
WikiLeaks leaking another US diplomatic wire disclosed a conversation between former US ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, and Chief of the Army Staff, Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, in which the latter expressed unhappiness over too much civilian control on Army. Gen Kayani could have overthrown the government during the long march for the restoration of judiciary if he had wanted to, the leak added.
