PPP claiming that they have got the right to do corruption

. . .
Gen. Musharraf's response to NRO question:

What compelled you to promulgate the NRO?

I very much feel responsible for answering this question which is rightly agitating many minds. However because of certain political sensitivities, I will have to pend the answer for the time being with a promise that I will take the nation on board at the appropriate time. The one clarification that I will make is that I committed this mistake on the strong advice of the political leadership at that time who are now blatantly disowning connections with it. My interest was only national with absolutely no personal bias or agenda.

“Through the NRO you brought corrupt politicians to power and made Zardari the President.”

NRO may have allowed Asif Zardari or corrupt politicians to contest elections but it certainly was not the cause of their coming to power. NRO is not responsible for electing the PPP as the majority party or allowing Asif Zardari to win an election. NRO is not responsible for corrupt politicians sitting in Assemblies, or being appointed as Ministers. All this happened through the votes of the people of Pakistan. NRO is not responsible for all Parliamentarians of Provincial and National Assemblies and Senate having overwhelmingly voted for Asif Zardari as President. The nation has to learn to cast their votes for the right person and the right party.

******************

I hope this clarifies a lot of questions. Gen Musharraf is absolutely right - If people didn't like NRO then they shouldn't have voted for the same corrupt lot.

As its pakistan internal politics so my knowledge is obviously limited....However using the common sense i would like to question about one single benefit that NRO has bring in to Pakistan....NRO allowed all these people to fight elections...You can easily put the blame on people for choosing them but cannot vindicate yourself....Mind it people did not just vote for Zardari right??? Its not like Zaradri fought on all seats...However NRO allowed a person to take the most dignified post of your country(President Post) and with all due respect made the mockery out of it(jokes on Zardari...Mr 10% and what not)...Don't you think so???

In simplest terms - Takeout NRO and Asif Zardari can still run for elections.

BB wanted to take advantage of Pakistan's political situation at that time. In return of co-operation, BB asked for all cases to be removed.

There were no convictions and most of these were politically motivated.

So, NRO had no impact on Zaradri taking part in elections.

Well comparing it with India even here people can participate in elections if they are not convicted by Court of Law...However here the question is amnesty given to such people by bringing in NRO....Now even if you can/could have convicted them as per Law suddenly you have no right to do anything against them...So if you see you have turned an accused into a normal citizen like you and other netizens with one stroke of ordinance....

From the moral grounds its a disaster because your country's top job is taken by a person who is benefited by NRO(a disastrous ordinance in the history of Pakistan)...whom you could have grilled had NRO not there...

Here is one liner from wikipedia

Minister for Law Afzal Sindhu in a news conference here said that a total of 8041 people including 34 politicians, bureaucrats and three ambassadors took benefit from the ordinance[4].


National Reconciliation Ordinance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However from your post # 49 i got this inclination that you are vindicating Musharraf for bringing in NRO and saying its people fault to have elected such leaders..Is that correct??...Also if you can please share any single benefit that NRO bring in to Pakistan...this is what Musharraf said in the article you posted "My interest was only national with absolutely no personal bias or agenda."

Gen Musharraf himself calls it a blunder. At the time he didn't know that BB will die and there was no pressure from NS on BB not to accpet it.

The benefit for Pakistani politics was an end to cases launched for political mileage. It has been almost two years since elections and there has been no cases against any politicial entity.

I am sorry but i don't even expected them to put pressure...NS had to come back from Arab and BB had to clear charges against her hubby and herself...To me it was a trade between Musharraf and your political leaders..something like give and take...I mean there has to be a reason that Chief Justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, suspended this ordinance on October 12, 2007.....Anyways as said i have limited knowledge in this regard so will go with your words...though i must admit it is not souding logical to me....

This is pure BS...Sorry to say that...Is this the way of ending cases launched for political mileage??? And who will decide that a case is true vs a fake case created out of political rivalry??? What the heck are courts afor???

It has been almost two years since elections and there has been no cases against any politicial entity.
To me its a matter of great concern...As far i know there is hell lot of corruption in Pakistan(i can say that because like other things when it comes to corruption we both are trying to overscore each other)...Are we saying there was no corruption in PPP govt..or for that matter in Musharraf Govt...

Courts were bias and supportive of who ever was in power ... Lwayers will come and ask for another dat ... Zaradri spent 10 yrs in jail without conviction (still no sympathy from me) ... no side was able to show evidence ... look at NS' cases, most of them or probably all of them thrown out of the court because of lack of evidence ... BTW, same is true for India ...

There was corruption in all eras, some had more and some had less ... how do you think NS become a billionire?

There was evidence but again political gave and take doesn't allow any evidence to be presented ... there are lots of bureaucrats who would go to jail so evidence is there but not presented ... politicans are may be 50% of the corruption and therest goes to the bureaucrats ...

hmmmm thanks for the clarification....as i said that i have limited knowledge since this is pakistan internal politics....However one question is still troubling me...How does NRO help in all this??
