Musharraf has kept his bags ready to move out of the country anytime as a deal is being worked out in SA backed by General's old friend US.
Mr Sana you guys are not Angles . What Musharraf has done during his 8 years was the Golden age for Pakistan . Since last 5 years the nation is suffering by Load shading , High Prices , No law and order , Terrorist ruling the country , Educatin down , water shortages , Load shading, high Inflation , $ to RS rate , No respect in the world . You name it there u r . So please when some one speak against the Army take deep thoughts than speak. Democracy is very good no doubt , we deserve it. First get the people Educated than talk about no false degree people sitting in the parliament.
"Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The livelong day, with patient expectation, To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome.
And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday? And do you now strew flowers in his way That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Pray to the gods to intermit the plague That needs must light on this ingratitude."
and same applies to whole PMLN leadership.. Yellow Cab, Motorway, Qarz Uttaro Mulk Sanwaro, Loan Defaulters, kickbacks, Raiwind, Tax invasion, and sacking the army chief while he was in the air.
Our memories are yet fresh, these elections will give you a clear picture that laptops, solar lamps and metros is not the good way to lure the voters.
What about you Mr?
