It was Nawaz Sharif, who went to US and told them about his nuclear plans during Kargil war. But then president of the US, Bill Clinton, told him to stop all agression at once. He returned to pakistan, and started blaming army for the attacks, especially Musharraf. He tried to kill Mussaraff and 200 other passengers in a plane crash.
Leading Pakistan is not an easy task, and anyone doing it comes under a lot of criticism.
In the start, most Pakistanis were for him. And he still has some supporters -- especially because the new government, which promised to do things differently, has failed to do much in the past 100 days in power.
Musharraf grabbed power in 1999. He was serving as military chief when then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif dismissed him, setting off a confrontation.
As Musharraf was returning from an overseas visit in October 1999, Sharif refused to allow the commercial airliner with 200 passengers on board to land.
Within hours the army had deposed Sharif in a bloodless coup, and the plane was allowed to touch down with only 10 minutes of fuel left.
Musharraf was welcomed by a nation on the brink of economic ruin.
