Dr.A.K.Tewari | 9 years ago | Reply There are people both in judiciary and govt. who do not want to recognize his contribution to the nstion and wants to take revenge . On the other hand army is still behind him therfore no one in Pakistan can touch him . He will again come in power to convert Pikistan in to a secular terrorists free state and will be able to solve the Kashmir issue in one stroke .

Ch. Allah Daad | 9 years ago | Reply Musharaf is hiding behind his ill health, instead he should accept his responsibility and tell the world that action was necessary to remove terrorists from a worship place. His cowardly behaviour is in complete contrast to present Army chief who is signing death warrants of terrorists.
