Musharraf resigns; for nation and country



ISLAMABAD, Aug 18 (APP): President Pervez Musharraf Monday announced resignation from his post in the best interest of the nation and to save the country from further destabilisation. In an address to the nation, the President dismissed the “false allegations” being levelled against him by the coalition government and said he was neither afraid of the charges against him, nor shy to face these through impeachment.

“For me it is always Pakistan first”, Musharraf said and added that politics of confrontation must come to an end and instead a policy of reconciliation be pursued.

He stressed immediate measure be taken to arrest the economic downturn and said the nation has the resilience to withstand any challenge.

He said it was not a time to show bravado, but to get serious as country’s dignity was at stake, the office of Presidency would bear the brunt.

“For 44 years I have safeguarded the country and will continue to do so.”

“No charge sheet can stand against me. Not even a single charge can be proven against me as I have full trust in Allah Almighty and I did everything with the belief of Pakistan First.”

The President said he took all decisions with consultation, took all stake holders onboard, on the most difficult decisions.

“All stake holders, whether they were soldiers, politicians, bureaucrats, members of civil society, ulema were consulted in all decisions. “I have nothing to worry about the charge sheet,” Musharraf said.

The President said he has mixed thoughts to do something to take the country out of this crisis. Parliament can be saved from horse trading. Even if the impeachment fails, the relations between institutions of the state will never be the same again.

True, the bickering was affecting the economy. He did the right thing, as always.

Zardari was not going to quit, so Musharaf became the bigger man and decided to put the country first.

I've mixed thoughts. It's good he quit because Pakistanis do not deserve an honest person in power, but bad also since Zardari can now reduce the foreign exchange by another 35% over the next 6 months.

Moha199, its nice to see your love for Mush, Kindly tell me some logical and detailed reasons for your love. It seems that whole Pakistan is celebrating his departure.
What would u say regarding some issues inwhich Mush was directly involved, like Lal Masjid, Dr. Afia, Boluchistan crisis, Bhugti Crisis, Swat operation, WANA missions, Waziristan issue, Media crisis, Lawyars issues, missing persons, Dr. A. Q khan issue, direct USA attacks and some more like that....

May be your love is right, but majority of people are happy on this....if your love for him is true then kindly explain the above issues in his favour...

Musharaf is past now, its better to look towards future. Leave judgement of Musharaf era to the historians.

God Bless Pervaiz Musharraf, Shah e Mardan and God Bless Pak Fauj - It was yet another courageous service in a 40 year history of service and sacrifice.

Worst case situation: Pakistan will now be treated as the politicians have always treated Pakistan, as if it was their family inheritance - the fault is not some shortcoming unique to the politicians, they are, the voice of the god claims, a reflection of the people.

There are other claims, but let the politicians have their day, let them claim a victory against the people of Pakistan - but this victory will not last long: soon they will fall on each other and the revolution will begin feeding on those that will claim to have created it.

And then perhaps some may want to visit again the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan - it is there that the malady resides.

Some treat the Western institutions of governanace as if these were pillars of a religion, a "one size fits all" notion of forms of governance might then also be examained critically and purposefully.

What exactly did Musharraf have to do with Dr Aafia Siddiqui?

Do you think the Swat, Bugti operations were unjustified? Have you started growing your beard yet?

How can you blame Balochistan on Musharraf? Balochistan has been going on for decades?

AQ Khan? It was a case of putting him under house arrest for his own good. He was a target.

Moreover, the question is........ What has the next government done differently? Do you think they will not listen to America anymore than Musharaf did?

Hmmm... It looks to me like no one else had ever handed over Pakistanis to americans or others. Perhaps, You need to change your view, a little.

Well, I am not in fovaour of removal of Musharraf in this way. A death of one person does not remove the curse of others. But, all of us do know that his policies were proven harmful to us.

Which two websites you are talking about? Will you please tell me too?

Yes, you can understand the arguments. But, maybe, you are not willing to understand.

And how did you figured out that I am a propaganda master, by the way?

You need to be more open in your arguments, so that the others could clearly understand what you intending to say and could answer you. Therefore, I will request you to tell us what did you understand.
