Madrassas in Pakistan and Pervez Musshrraf
by C V R Bharati on Mar 06, 2006 03:40 PM   Permalink

Immediately after the identification of the suicide bombers involved in July 2005 attack in London, there were reports in press that some of the bombers had visited Pakistan and had undergone training in madrassas of Pakistan.
This also led to some remarks by seniour British leaders that Pakistan connection to the terrorist organisations still exists and that Pakistan should undertake to implement what it had committed to do in the aftermath of 9/11 US twin tower attack.
This remarks had angered Musharraf so much that he made some intemperate remarks against British leaders where he said some thing like"British should look at its own policies which breed anger and hatred" rather than lecturing Pakistan what they should do.He had made these statements in an interview to BBC. This line of argement was repeated by Pak ministers too thereafter for some time.
In a way, it is good that President Bush visited Afghanistan first, then India and then finally Pakistan. This trip has sealed the fate of Pervez Musharraf. In my opinion, he will not last long in his present position as head of Pakistan state. (max 4 to six months)
