Pakistan ke former Chief of Army Staff General (Retd) Abdul Waheed Kakar inteqal kar gaye hain. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) ke mutabiq wo Monday 26 October ko Rawalpindi me 89 saal ki umar me inteqal kar gaye. Kaun the General Kakar? General Kakar ne January 1993 se January 1996 tak Pakistan Army ki qayadat ki. Un ki military career 1959 me Frontier Force Regiment me commission se shuru hui, aur unhon ne 1965 aur 1971 ki jangon me bhi khidmat ki. Baad me wo 16th Infantry Division aur Quetta me XII Corps ke commander aur GHQ me Adjutant General bhi rahe. "Kakar Formula" — jis ke liye wo yaad rakhe jayenge 1993 me jab us waqt ke President Ghulam Ishaq Khan aur Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ke darmiyan sakht confrontation ne mulk ko siyasi crisis ke dahane par pahuncha diya tha, to General Kakar ki intervention se dono ne istefa diya, caretaker government bani aur fresh elections hue — jin se Benazir Bhutto dobara iktidar me ayin. Ye episode "Kakar Formula" ke naam se mashhoor hua, kyun ke is me martial law ya direct governance ke baghair siyasi process ko rasta mila. Taziyat President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir aur Pakistan Army ke tamam ranks ne gehray dukh ka izhar kiya aur un ki "distinguished military career, leadership aur invaluable services" ko khiraj-e-tehseen pesh kiya. Army ne bereaved family se hamdardi ka izhar karte hue dua ki ke Allah marhoom ko Jannat me aala muqam de.
