Musharraf Bashing
Musharraf bashing has suddenly acquired a renewed hype in the media -more in the electronic than the print – ever since he announced entering into Pakistan politics.
The interested parties and their cronies are busy day and night in slinging mud upon him and his ‘dictatorial’ rule of nine years. Use of negative superlatives like “not at all”, “nothing what so ever”, “ruination of the entire economy” etc. are being used profusely, incorrectly and illogically more because of a fad than fact..
Ironically, some of the saner element, intellectuals and knowledgeable too have succumbed to the propa****a and lost sight of the reality.
No doubt Musharraf made mistakes – some blunders, but to say that nothing at all positive for Pakistan was achieved by him and his regime, is unfair.
Following are, therefore, just to recount some of his achievements:-

The reason why media dont like Pervaiz musharaf, and like the democracy (so called) because they are earning lot of money in the name of sponcership from the MNA's and MPA's and some beaurocrates. Media and Politicians are like to banks of the river.. they travel together to keep the water inside the river but they never meet. but they have 1 common interest how to keep water inside the river, means, how to make money. Musharaf has done great job in his time. People who just say that dectator is bad dectator is blah blah... i wanted to ask them... who do u beilive then. the people shud rule... what kind of people we are, we dont know even how and who to choose the right person. Those people who again vote for Jamshaid dasti kind of person. who take the oath on Quran with the help of fake degree and lies.. We are away from that time where we can choose the right person, because we dont have enough education to understand our interest and future benifits. And this nation is very fine working under the Danda policy.
