Once a strong man in Pakistan now a prisoner. Former Army General Musharraf recently was touted as a messiah of Pakistan now languishes in jail. Can you imagine this? Yes it happens in Pakistan and may be in few African and South American countries too. I.e., all the former generals ending up in Jail.
It is the unsatiating lust for power which drives Army Generals such as him crazy. Like many other former rulers of Pakistan he too pursued his dream of consolidating his power by appealing to religion, anti-India posture etc., But he had too much in his plate. The Baloch Freedom fighters would not budge, not to mention the Frankenstein Monster – Taliban.
His case is a classic example to prove that it is impossible to govern men without their consent. He never had any public support. When pushed to corner he too just like many of his predecessors suspended constitution and declared emergency. That is not something new to this country, which is a breeding ground for terrorists.
In the recent debacle when he ventured in to Pakistan after a long exile, he was justly prosecuted, by that judiciary’s vengeance is served. Once fought enemies from bunkers, now searching them to hide his head. Facing the onslaught of judicial terrorism. And it is a payback time.
The blunders he made could be Blackening the judiciary and Kargil. Both had given a deadly blow to his fortunes and stature as a leader. He is just an example of why Army leaders cannot play the role of a democratic leader. May be if kayani thinks about ruling Pakistan through civilian garb, he better think again. It is good not to shun the uniform even for laundry.
A seasoned observer like me might shout shame! Shame!
