I won't quit, says Musharraf-Is he right?
by raghupathy balakrishnan on Feb 20, 2008 11:47 AM   Permalink

Can anyone say that Nawaz Sharif, Benazir Butto or her husband Asif Zardari (to name only a few) is competent in running a government without any personal interest in it? Nawaz Sherif has business interest; Bhutto and Co has dynastic interest (on the lines of our beloved Karunanidhi's, Lalu's and Ghandhi's.
This same very people of Pakistan virutally provided a red carpet to the Military rule in the late '90s mainly. Nawaz couldnt get any support even in his exile for long. The opportunity actually being provided by the event called 'Sacking of Chief Justise' that went against the ruler. Imagine whether such an event ever happening in our country; a chief justice who ignites masses to protest against his removal. This exactly proves that he is in the making of a political person who actually takes a side, which a Judge is not expected to.
In all, Musharaf provided a clean government so far, which the people of Pakistan only long for in the future.
He may be brutal on occassions; he might be playing double game in his dealings with the US and the terrorists simultaneously. But he kept his people in mind in all his decisions which one cannot expect neither from Nawaz nor from Bhutto's.
I personally resent forgiving people just because they are no more, as it is true for every one life in the universe.
