Congratulations Pakistan because your space program is ahead of Indias.

Pakistanis love hearing the truth and musharraf loves speaking it. Its all good.

Lol, come on.. please no jokes.. You need to study about Space Progam more

ok just post the comparison for your easy...

The only Satellite launch by Pakistan is PakSat, which Pakistan brought from China, since all Slots were going to filled up soon by India and China, and Pakistan could left Behind. That's It pakistan..

Now India, India has launched 13 Satellites in the space, just recently they send dog in space. They were planning to land the man on moon by 2020. (Most probably will do it by 2025, since low funds). But Pakistan don't know about Space yet.

bt still commando hve better accent thn both ganjaa sharifs?

Just for your information, the food prices are gone high all over the world. Not Pakistan Specific. And those gangas actually tried to control the prices, if you remember SS's operation on Floor Mills, similarly sugar mills , politary farms... but who cares here... It's Ego, Plain EGO!!!

Rockets are not satellites. Rockets are transportation mechanism and they are time bound, while Satellites revolve around the world in a orbit and stay in space. But my point was India is way ahead of Pakistani Space program.

PPP's government, in an MOU with the IMF, hailed the performance of Pakistan's economy under President Musharraf's watch as follows:

"Pakistan's economy witnessed a major economic transformation in the last decade. The country's real GDP increased from $60 billion to $170 billion, with per capita income rising from under $500 to over $1000 during 2000-07". It further acknowledged that "the volume of international trade increased from $20 billion to nearly $60 billion. The improved macroeconomic performance enabled Pakistan to re-enter the international capital markets in the mid-2000s. Large capital inflows financed the current account deficit and contributed to an increase in gross official reserves to $14.3 billion at end-June 2007. Buoyant output growth, low inflation, and the government's social policies contributed to a reduction in poverty and improvement in many social indicators". (see MEFP, November 20, 2008, Para 1)

Pakistan's HDI grew an average rate of 2.7% per year under President Musharraf from 2000 to 2007, and then its pace slowed to 0.7% per year in 2008 to 2012 under elected politicians, according to the 2013 Human Development Report titled “The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a Diverse World”.

If you think he has better accent then more power to you. This human brain can play crazy tricks.
also if you can please bring a price chart for when he took the office and when he left or are we just gonna see one side of coin everytime, again human brain can make you believe a cow is a horse you just have to practice the mind power.

By the way commodity prices doubled in US and Canada too in last 5 years but here they are using a different mind tricks, reducing the contents of a box instead of increasing the prices too much, its the mind thinggy...lol

In the 1990s, economic growth plummeted to between 3% and 4%, poverty rose to 33%, inflation was in double digits and the foreign debt mounted to nearly the entire GDP of Pakistan as the governments of Benazir Bhutto (PPP) and Nawaz Sharif (PML) played musical chairs. Before Sharif was ousted in 1999, the two parties had presided over a decade of corruption and mismanagement. In 1999 Pakistan’s total public debt as percentage of GDP was the highest in South Asia – 99.3 percent of its GDP and 629 percent of its revenue receipts, compared to Sri Lanka (91.1% & 528.3% respectively in 1998) and India (47.2% & 384.9% respectively in 1998). Internal Debt of Pakistan in 1999 was 45.6 per cent of GDP and 289.1 per cent of its revenue receipts, as compared to Sri Lanka (45.7% & 264.8% respectively in 1998) and India (44.0% & 358.4% respectively in 1998).

The bubble that burst | Opinion | DAWN.COM

GEN Pervez Musharraf has returned to the country. This time, mercifully, his return has not been heralded by a posse of armed soldiers clambering over a gate to pave the way for a power grab.

The retired general plans to run for a seat in parliament and claims he will restore Pakistan to where he left off. Thus an assessment as to what his regime achieved during his eight-year rule is in order.

The general’s principal claim to fame is the economy, which his imported prime minister managed. The high point is claimed as the GDP growth rate, which was raised from a pre-2000 average of below four per cent to a post-9/11 average of six per cent. A stellar performance was the 7.5 per cent growth in 2003-04 and nine per cent in 2004-05.

This feat was achieved on the strength of the finance, manufacturing and services sectors. Manufacturing growth averaged nine per cent during this period and registered a record 14 per cent in 2003-04 and 15.5 per cent in 2004-05. Growth in the services sector was over six per cent compared to below four per cent in the pre-2000 years.

It is, however, pertinent to examine how this deed was accomplished. Before any analysis is presented, it is necessary to note that the GDP growth rate is a weighted average of the various sectors of the economy; the manufacturing sector growth rate is a weighted average of the various industries and the services sector growth rate is a weighted average of the various services sectors. The key to understanding the remarkable performance lies in the services sector and in the banking sector, in particular.

The regime’s economic managers set about creating a macroeconomic environment that heavily favoured the banking sector, 80 per cent of which was sold to foreign interests during the regime’s tenure. The principal benefits to the banks accrued from the opening of the large window of consumer credit; with the result that the financial sector value added growth for 2004-05 and 2005-06 was at an all-time high at a record 31 per cent and 42 per cent, respectively.

Two industries that benefited the most from the liberal expansion of consumer financing were automobiles and electrical goods, with credit-financed sales of automobiles, television sets, etc, skyrocketing. Average value addition growth over 2003-2005 in the automobile and electrical goods industries was 43 per cent and 45 per cent, respectively, compared to 14 per cent for the manufacturing sector as a whole.

Thus, it was the extraordinary credit-financed growth in banking, automobiles and electrical goods sectors that provided the narrow base for overall GDP growth. The rest of the economy, particularly agriculture, stagnated.


However, the credit-finance bubble began to burst by 2007. When the doubling of inflation from four per cent over 2000-04 to nine per cent over 2005-08 forced a rise in interest rates, consumer credit disbursements declined by half, slowing financial sector growth to less than 15 per cent. With reduced consumer credit, production of automobiles and electrical goods dropped and with output of television sets falling by one-third GDP growth was back to below four per cent. What was trumpeted as extraordinary growth was actually a mirage, a hot-air balloon that burst at the first whiff of crisis.

High performance figures were also managed by what was apparently the manipulation of data. Post-1998 population census, the population growth rate was estimated at 2.5 per cent, based on the 1981-1998 inter-census growth. However, the population growth rate was arbitrarily reduced to two per cent in 2004, to 1.9 per cent in 2005 and to 1.8 per cent in 2007.

Given that no census had been carried out after 1998, there was no basis for concluding that the population growth rate had declined. The motive for depressing population growth figures emanated from the desire to show enhanced per capita income, i.e. average national income.


An average is derived by dividing the numerator by the denominator and a lower denominator raises the average. Per capita income is a product of national income divided by population. By lowering population estimates by the stroke of a pen, the Musharraf regime managed to contrive an increase in per capita income for the corresponding years.

Another apparent case of data manipulation is that of tax collection.

Budgetary data for customs duty receipts is provided for 13 categories of goods, ranging from chemicals, iron and steel, and machinery to rubber and plastic products and medical and photographic equipment. Clearly, one would not expect customs duty collection in any one year for different import categories to increase by the same percentage.

Ironically, however, that is exactly what happened. Customs duty collection for 10 out of 13 categories of imports is reported to have grown at a uniform 3.1 per cent during 2002-03, at 9.7 per cent during 2003-04 and at 27 per cent during 2004-05.

One hopes Gen Musharraf does not have a similar kind of contrived economic miracle in mind when he talks of restoring Pakistan’s economy to what it was during his days. Pakistan does not need more rounds of governance by gimmickry.

What mush supporters over here need to understand is that there is no way he will come in power again. On these points.

1. The general public dont support him. They support either PML N or PTI. He would have had a chance had there been No imran
khan,shareef bradran and even Qadeer. The people dont love him at all. People have too much choice they wont choose him.
2. Does not have electable strength to get to power. At its best he can be a weak opposition and himself be an MPA.
3. People blame for his events on Lal masjid, Afia saddique and even kargil. People remember this and his visit to islamabad is
also getting a bulk of hate as he is not welcome their.
4. People blame him for the bad image of the army which he left with them and kiyani had to clean it up.
5. He left the country and stayed out side teaching and playing tabla. People did not like this about him. He left us in a mess
with america and it got worse thanks to zardari and co.

These is not my personal opinion. this is the opinion of the local people, The store owner the mazdoor, the rickshaw driver etc.

I think these election will be between PML N and PTI.
