The army is the only altern­ative when civili­an govts stop functi­oning, say judges­KARACHI: The Supreme Court (SC) observed on Thursday that the army remains the only alternative when the civilian departments stop performing their functions. The apex court’s two-member bench further observed that the army will be everywhere if the civilian departments will not work. The bench members expressed their extreme displeasure over the poor performance of the federal, provincial and local governments. The additional advocate-general, Muhammad Sarwar Khan, conceded that the SBCA and board were not performing their duties. The law officer’s reply visibly irked the bench members, who noted that the officers of the Sindh government had turned so apathetic that they were not even performing their duties honestly.
