It’s the time to disco

Letter October 05, 2010
I not want to pass judgement on Musharraf as a leader but can I simply say that the writer is brilliant.

LONDON: This is with reference to the article “It’s the time to disco” by Aamer Ahmed Khan (October 2). From an Indian who does not want to interfere in the internal politics of Pakistan, and therefore does not want to pass  judgement on Musharraf as a leader (can any Indian do that in a neutral way?), can I simply say that the writer – Aamer Ahmed Khan – is brilliant. I put him up there with Indian names like Vir Sanghvi, Arundhati Roy and V S Naipaul. Caustic, incisive, with a superb grasp of English- he has stood and delivered.  Clearly the difficult conditions in Pakistan bring out the best in some. Bravo.
