perhapes you would like ot eleborate your commentsIs this the same mushy who's mother and father hold US passports that we think is going to somehow save pakistan.
He is nothing but a third rate general that was promoted above his seniors by nawaaz under the hope as a non punjabi/pushtoon he would not have the same backing as other generals.
The guy ranks as one of the worst leaders of pakistan since its creation.
Nawaaz/BB would have followed the US after 9/11,mushy did nothing groundbreaking here.
The economy has improved,just as it would have under nawaaaz/BB if they had followed the US line.
The guy is pathetic..
Now I DARE you to challenge Musharraf Government's achievements below...
I completely agree that Musharraf is by far the most intelligent, progressive and honest leader we have ever had.
Under him Pakistan has progressed. When he took over Pakistan was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now we have Foreign reserves above US$13 billion. The rupee has been stable to 59-60 per US$ since he took over. The GDP growth of Pakistan is 7.4%.
It took 20 years (1980 - 1999) to add US$3.5 billion exports. Under Musharraf it took only 5 years (2000-2004) to add US$4.5 billion.
The rate of growth in Pakistan Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) is at a 30-year high. Construction activity is at a 17-year high.
There is 26.2 percent growth in Industrial sector of Pakistan.
Country's Software Exports for the first time crossed US$72 million in the financial year 2005-06. [..and this year the exports will be US$600 million, a figure which is predicted to reach US$4.3 BILLION in 2010]
Musharraf will set up 9 world class Science and Technology Engineering Federal Universities by 2008 with Foreign assistance.
In 1999 what we earned as GDP: we used to give away 64.1 % as foreign debt and liabilities. Now in Musharraf's tenure 2006, what we earn as GDP: we give ONLY 24.3 % as foreign debt and liabilities. Now we are SAVING 35 % of our GDP for economic growth.
According to Economic Survey 2005. Poverty in Pakistan in 2001 was 34.46%. And, now after 7 years of Musharraf; Poverty in 2007 was22.8%. Poverty DECREASED by 11.66%. Overall, 14 million people have been pushed out of Poverty in 2001 -2005!
Literacy rate in Pakistan has increased from 32% (in 1999) to 56% (in 2007).
Per capita income has been increased from 250$(1999) to 925$(2007)
Why shouldn't we support Musharraf?
This military man has succeeded in giving Pakistan what democracy couldn't give in 50 years. [shame on the 'democracy' losers!]
What alternative do we have of Musharraf? Corrupt politicians who have only looted the country under disguise of democracy?
Let me see..
Benazir Bhutto? CORRUPT.
Nawaz Sharif? CORRUPT.
Altaf Hussain? LOL you got to be kidding me. Not with him at the helm of MQM.
Mullahs? OVER MY DEAD BODY.
