	General Jehangir Karamat
		General Jehangir Karamat, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and Chief of the Army Staff while addressing officers of the Navy War college at Lahore on Monday October 5, 1998, during his annual address, covered various dimensions of regional and national security and connected matters of professional concern.
		General Karamat maintained that as he had repeatedly stressed the need of the hour was total focus on the economy, the external linkages with China, Iran, Afghanistan, India, the United States, the internal situation, especially Sindh, the sectarian aspect and finally the fears of the smaller provinces.
		When General Karamat said, we need a neutral, competent and secure bureaucracy and administration at the federal and provincial levels, he was implying that the present administration at both levels was politicised, incompetent and insecure, and further implying that the political leadership was allowing this.
