Defining roles
Dear Editor,
The roles, responsibility and accountability of the army should be clearly defined. The Armed Forces should be responsible to look after the borders against external aggression. The Central Armed Police Forces should look after the counter-insurgency operations and internal security. The police should take care of the law and order situation in the country. The use of the Armed Forces in aid to civil authority should be the last option when all others have failed and heads in government have been rolled.
