Pakistan

Musharraf on Facebook

Yasir Qadeer May 12, 2010

ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to your report of May 10 according to which Pervez Musharraf now has over 200,000 fans on his Facebook page.

I find the possibility of his return quite funny given that this is a man who was more or less thrown out because of pressure from public. If fans on Facebook is to be the criterion for becoming a political leader then I suspect Megan Fox can justifiably expect to become president of the US in the next election. Surely there has to be a reason other than being popular on a social utility website for an individual to consider contesting an election.

Tax Payer | 14 years ago | Reply The General is making yet another mistake; counting on Facebook Fans! The SSG Commando General - escaped from Pakistan saving his life in a deal with the present Govt. How will he clean-up his baggage.

cmsarwar | 14 years ago | Reply Our great nation lived with all types of dictators without making any intelligent assessment of the hell they were playing with the basic fabric of this country.Musharraf was perhaps the worst.Instead of remembering Musharraf the nation should actively deal with his legacy,the Zardari-Gilani arrangement,which has been imposed on us by the powers behind all such made-up governments.The nation has not been able to get a government truly representing them.We have to struggle for this goal.

Omar bin Khattab | 14 years ago | Reply Yes, the reason is that all these fans are Pakistani citizens..so his Pakistani supporters all over the world will cast their votes....but then you are gonna say that Megan fox can get ten times the votes...we'll that will be right as we as Pakistanis know which vote to cast for PM and which vote to give to Megan!
