Give me a break.You think that Musharraf was a good leader. Where you base your facts ? A dribbly drabbling stories of the newspapers during his time in power ? what was the legitimacy of his Governess ? To his own words, the price of each Pakistani sold to the American was $500. per person.He was a shame to the nation and you take him to the next level.Obviously we both don't live in the same planet. When you didn't get his own admission of bowing to the Amercians on a single call, then Obviously there is some flaw in your understanding.He manipulated the politicians and got his own team of slaves working for him.He gave Shaukat Aziz everything he asked for. The steel mill was about to be dispensed cheap to group of people with ties to Shaukat Aziz. Even then, what he had done to extend his stay in power was a shameful act of disrespect.He used Emergency power just to get rid of the Judges who wouldn't listen to him against the wishes of people of Pakistan. To the last day, he stuck to the power thinking may be he can prolong his stay as a president of Pakistan. Now, if he is a leader, he should come back to Pakistan. face the nation. prepare to take part in the Politics and then, I will really accept him as a real leader.Not before that, not to a guy who ran away and settle in west to accomodate his life style.
Nothing personal. But your arguments are exactly like some of my Jamiat friends, who know nothing except grumbling. They cannot talk on facts, and only give general outbursts, that one can fit on ANY politician.
Do you want legitimacy for Musharraf's takeover? Well here is the constitution of Pakistan for you:
The Constitution (Amendment) Order, 1980, (P.O.No.1 of 1980) section 2 (with effect from May 26, 1980) inserted clauses (3A), (3B) and (3C) which read:
(3A) Notwithstanding any judgment of any Court, including any judgment in respect of the powers of Courts relating to judicial review, a High Court shall not, under this Article:-
(a) make an order relating to the validity or effect of, any Martial Law Regulation made by the Chief Martial Law Administrator or any Martial Law Order made by the Chief Martial Law Administrator or a Martial Law Administrator or of anything done, or intended to be done or taken, there under;
(b) make an order relating to the validity or effect of any judgment or sentence passed by a Military Court or Tribunal;
(c) grant an injunction, make any order or entertain any proceedings in respect of any matter to which the jurisdiction of a Military Court or Tribunal extends and of which cognizance has been taken by a Military Court or Tribunal; or
(d) issue any process against the Chief Martial Law Administrator or a Martial Law Administrator or any person acting under the authority of either.
According to your constitution of Pakistan, all military takeovers are valid and cannot be challenged in court of law.
