In its conclusions to the judgment, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to monitor and prosecute those advocating hate, extremism, and terrorism. It also ordered the defense ministry and respective chiefs of the armed forces to initiate action against armed forces personnel found to have violated their oath. It has been two years since this judgment was issued, and unfortunately, not much has changed.
The judgment also noted that the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has taken to commenting on political matters, and the military must never be perceived to support a particular political party, faction, or politician. It highlighted the importance of keeping intelligence agencies away from political matters.
