KARACHI: The person who gave us the Constitution was hanged and the person who violated the Constitution, General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, has left the country, despite many cases against him — all with the support of the government. Although courts issued non-bailable warrants for the man, the honourable Supreme Court gave him a clean chit and the government immediately took his name off the exit control list. The real power brokers won and the Nawaz Sharif government is now saying that democracy is the best revenge. Musharraf zindabad, Pakistan paindabad.
