Wish this guy come to pakistan n my request to honorable chief justice of islamic republic of pakistan to hang this moron till death this dictator is the reason why pakistan is going thru all this mess today have this moron not taken over pakistan in 1999 pakistan would have been in his top prime............
Whereas i too was disgusted by NRO and some other policy matters of Musharraf, you are giving in to emotions and exaggerating when you blame him for every issue we face today.
Many things in administration were done much better in his era.
The era of Nawaz and BB was worse since the only thing they focused on was political victimization and minting money for themselves, the legend of Mr. 10% and of the Sharif brother's "Karz Uttaro" fraud is one of the many things that predate Musharraf's tenure as chief executive.
The economy was stagnant and no foreign investments and business looked the way of Pakistan.
I agree that Musharraf should be tried but only for the right reason.
If it is proven that Mian Sahib was indeed guilty of not allowing the plane to land then he should also get a befitting punishment for risking the lives of Pakistanis.
Same goes for all the people in power who have acted out of line...
It should be clear that whosoever else is guilty of abusing the law should be tried as well, regardless of whether they are great democratic leaders, Generals, Honorable Judges, media tycoons, Feudal lords, Civil servants, blessed religious leaders or ordinary citizens.
The sad fact is that the majority parties do not want to try Musharraf because in the end their hands are not cleaner than him.
Setting a precedence of punishing ex rulers will perhaps give the nation more courage and guts to check the ruling elite...this is the only thing that holds the 2 stalwart torchbearers of democracy (PPP and PML-N) from initiating proceedings against Musharraf.
You should ponder upon the fact that both PPP and PML-N want the other party to initiate proceedings against Musharraf, that shows clearly why Musharraf will not be trialed until he becomes a political force.
This clearly sheds a light on what has been the mode of justice or accountability in Pakistan, which still has not changed.
These days when influential members of parties who are actually mouthpieces of their party heads, give open comments on how corruption is their right...it is painfully evident that we have gone from bad to worse.
I believe Imran is the real honest person and i wonder why people do not support him, after all everyone i talk to says that our key problem is corruption and lack of honesty in our society and especially in our leaders.
Imran is honest, principled and certainly not corrupt, he is the only party leader who at least has these traits.
So why do the people not support him?
Some call him fundo, others talk about his past lifestyle, some say that he is not a politician...that is mostly nonsense in my opinion because what matters is that he is an honest person who has a clean slate.
This nation has only one option in my opinion if they want better accountability of abuses of power and corruption, they should choose the man who has a clean slate by way of his actions and not by way of apologies.
Sadly PML-N and PPP are much worse than Musharraf, because they do not even apologize for the unbelievable damages they have done to the country in the past and present.
In summary, we do not know what PPP or PML-N would have done between 99 to 2007...yet unlike their eras there was economic resurgence and much better administration in most of Musharraf's tenure.
Regarding the war on terror and our role in it, we have our democratic lions back in office so what have they changed in terms of policy?
This shows that under the auspicious leadership of PPP or PML-N we would most likely have been even worse off in the last decade.
