As former president Pervez Musharraf ran for his Chak Shahzad residence following an Islamabad High Court judge issuing arrest orders for him, Twitter saw a flurry of activity.
Given his successful escape from arrest, most tweets were critical of the one-time dictator, and jokes flew in fast and heavy.
Some of the top tweets are below:

Dekho dekho kon bhaga. Commando bhaga, commando bhaga. Go @geonews_urdu Democracy one, Dictatorship zero! #Musharraf #Pakistan

Not very long ago General Mush was telling us he never lead from behind. Now we know, he escapes from 'behind'!

U bet! "@filter_c: To give Pervez Musharraf some credit, at least he had an exit strategy this time around. Unlike Kargil."
