The logic is simple : The Messiah takes credit for the good decisions for he is to be worhsipped to the point of godliness and bad decisions have to be blamed on cronies for the messiah can never be wrong.
Also, defend NRO by saying that it's sole purpose was not to save his skin and remain in power, rather it was aimed at "reconciliation".
I find it humorous when I find people preach that Gen. Musharraf considered himself as a messiah.
All I can say is, ignorance is a bliss.
Had you bothered to go through history or the current list of dictators from Mugabe of Zimbabwe to the generals in Myanmar.
Gen. Musharraf was a democrat for all I know he introduced true essence of democracy in Pakistan. Freedom of speech, freedom of movement and political empowerment of the common man. Had he been a dictator he would have never resigned.
Of course nobody is perfect. But there is GOOD and BAD. NRO, Steel Mill Corruption, Other Corrupt Privatisation, Misused Aid, Treason etc. = Bad.
As for the media argument, it is quite weak. Next you are going to tell me Musharraf gave us internet. There is something called 'technological advancement'. These led to a whole era of globalisation, something we are still undergoing today. Tomorrow, if someone hails the PPP government for bringing 3g internet, would you accept that?
Hence the only reason media flourished was because of the internet age that pretty much took off after 2000. When the media went against Musharraf, he tried to shut it up by force and we all know what happened when he declared emergency in the country for the second time.
Had you bothered to go through my previous posts you would have found the answer to your assumptions. Again, if you or anyone has any proof go file a petition in the "free" supreme court. Who is to stop you?
I could come up with a million baseless accusations against any politician in Pakistan. The fact of the matter is, the constitution says innocent until proven otherwise.
The reasons I support Gen. Musharraf are not that you mentioned. They are for the following reasons:
1- Political empowerment of the common man by the introduction of city government.
2- Rights and empowerment of women in Pakistan.
3- Employment [100+ TV channels, construction (road, skyscrapers, bridges, dams and other projects), banks, hospitals, utility stores and etc)
4- financial well being of people.
5- building an investor friendly environment resulting in huge levels of FDI. (The Centaurus, Emaar and numerous other projects)
6- Regulating financial institutions that led to stupendous growth in reserves and stock exchange.
7- GDP is an integral part of the economy. Before his tenure, GDP stood at a mere 60 billion nominal value to 170+ in 2008.
8- reduction in poverty and corruption (verified by TI)
9- introduction of rescue 1122 and motorway police.
10- defence AFDP2015 (F-16s, JF-17s, Saab Erieye, German T-214, F-22P, K-8s, FN-2000, SSW)
11- Gawadar seaport.
I could go on and on. His numerous contributions for the betterment of the people and country are clearly there for everyone to see. Unlike, a few who are blinded by the presumptious and sensational media.
Dr Farrukh Saleem who has quite a few dictatorship apologist leanings.
The four points Farrukh Saleem raise, I'll compare with the time of the Absconder Commando:-
1. Musharraf trampled the Constitution for it bears no regard in the eyes of most of our Khaki lords and as our supreme leader Zia would say it is "nothing more than a piece of paper".
The steps that you deem to be unconstitutional were infact validated by the PCO judge currently known as CJP.
