    .
    Let me remind you all and the traitors of Pakistan(second ideological state after Madina) that this country was created and blessed with Atomic Power by Allah Almighty which is part of HIS planning.
    .
    The jews and indians (which are also one branch of jews) will continue on their evil and ugly planning.
    .
    In few years, we will see the begining of Ghazwa Hind as you can see the enemies of Islam are encircling Pakistan.
    .
    People of Pakistan must have to sustain some early losses but that would be KAFFARA and then Nussrat of Allah will be with us.

    Long live Pakistan and Inshallah will be the starting point of Khilafa Ala Minhaje Nabuwa.

    there s no doubt that currrent government of Zaradari and current provincial government of Balochistan are acting for vested interests of enemy countries of Pakistan….. May Allah give sincere leadership to Pakistan …. InshAllah these treacherous people could give no harm to our soil..

    This really is hard investigation: http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/operation-blue-tulsi-15-years-in-planning-10-years-in-preparation-and-today-in-execution/

    However, the real add-on would be if some how key players are identified. And in this, one of the first things should be identification of the websites which are purposely or “naively” supporting the said agenda. I have come across one well-known website, which on the outside looks Pro-Pakistan (even by its name), but the articles inside are purely anti-Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz. Plus, the comments posted on the website purposely depict one community of Pakistan as terrorists. Also, if in the comments someone highlights this issue, the comments are either deleted or moderated. If the comments try to raise the subject of corruption of one of the prominent politicians of Pakistan, they are also never put on.
    Surely, this is not the only website. There are many others. So my suggestion here is, there should be a place where netizens like us can give our inputs to atleast the websites, which are helping this “dajjalian” conspiracy against Pakistan.

    PAKISTAN NEED GREAT MUSHARRAF

  • Omair Javaid - 17 years ago

    @Farhat
    Actually head cover is mentioned a lot in Islam whether in hadith or Quran.
    Now for those of you that don't pay attention to religious politics...there are TWO taliban. One is the real one which is also reffered to as the "army of Mahdi" and "Army of Khorosan". Those are the TRUE taliban and they DO give rights to women, hell they even want their daughters to go to schoold (search it up on youtube becuase it is there).They are the ones in Afghanistan who are fighting americans.
    The second Taliban consists of american funded people who act as "leaders" for unsuspecting recruits. Why would true muslims bomb a MOSQUE??These fake muslim taliban want to destabilize Pakistan and do you know why? Because Pakistan is the greatest threat to the GOALS of U.S.A. Now the main goal of the U.S.A is:

    THE CREATION OF ISRAEL!!
    Pakistan is the only Muslim nuclear state.

    As for hijab...whats wrong with a head cover? Do you think you are being oppresed if you are asked to cover your head? It is for womens saftey and you know it so stop trying to argue. I can go into WHY and the details but it would be a waste of words because i am sure you know why.

  • Ahmad - 17 years ago

    Probably 95% of Pakistan’s population has never heard about Zahid Hamid, but your Poll shows he is at no three on the list of most capable President of Pakistan.
    What more I should say about your Poll.
    Gen Mosharraf, the most popular personality …….. huhhhhhh !!!
    Honestly Pak Alert has lost its integrity after this Poll and a very few biased articles.

    Hope Pak Alert will not prove to be 2nd Al-Jazeera TV.

  • Omair Javaid - 17 years ago

    We have already experinced what Pervez Mushrraf can do, which is be a puppet of America, but he was less of a puppet than Asif who "wanted to hug Sarah Palin". That man is an EMBARRASMENT (Asif).
    I think Imran Khan would be best because he is the most "visionary" out of the whole lot, not to mention that he ain't corrupt and at least he gives a thought to the needs of people and not parliment. Imran can think for himself and does not need the americans to adivse him. Unless something is done, our nukes will be in the hands of America/Israel in a matter of years (or less)

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    @ farhat @ I know now you will give a load of bull in reply but i am in no mood to waste my time reply idiots like you. Sorry

    why turn away like a sissy now that you have directly asked me where in quran does it mention anything about hijab

    Please make up your mind cuz i quran really has ayats and there are hadiths to support it, something you may call load of bull and all. if you want to talk about it. make sure you know something least about it before you claim anything about hijab. do you want me to quote you the ayats ?

    it will get even funnier, when for you i will quote something not just from quran but bible also. does that sound fashionable to approve of ? or do you prefer me telling u something from geeta ? talk to me and i tell u where u stand

    and you talked of me not reading quran with meaning, thats good. cuz when i quote something here, i will help u out with its tafseer also, not by me but by people you cannot deny - whether ur shia or sunni. will you stll call it bull crap ?

    let me know and i'll really tell you where you stand.

    for now, i'll just say to you islam only means talibans and TTP. thats all what you can think of islam as.

    ill wait for your answer.

  • Farhat - 17 years ago

    SHUMAYEL you are typical taliban mentality.. I am sorry but we dont need your type of Islam. Islam gave equal rights to women but you taliban always try to make the women only your slaves... this is not the teaching of Islam. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and most importantly its gives wisdom to decide what is good or bad for you. Where in the Quran is mentioned a women have to wear burqa? can you please quote the aaya? You cant because it is not there.. Yes in Quran hiding shame parts is mentioned but this is for both men and women. Who are you to decide how an individual should live.. it is the matter between Allah and the banda.. who you are to decide what is good or what is evil??/ who gave you this right? If you are claiming to be Muslim so I am but no one can judge who is better or who is worst other than Allah himself. I can bet people like you dont even go for Masjid 5 times a day and dont even read quran with meanings but just spread disinformation about Islam which the non-Muslims uses to declare islam as a radical religion. Your tailabn mentality just want to impose your type of Islam on people of Pakistan... you are damaging islam.. open your eyes and look around ....

    and the good news is this that you are being defeated!

    I know now you will give a load of bull in reply but i am in no mood to waste my time reply idiots like you. Sorry

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    and about Musharraf you support so much as in giving liberation to women: Please tell me if you can do something like Mahleej Sarkari. i hope you know who has she got all her support from.

    if you can, please dont call it islam cuz thats the twisted islam you want, and if you cant get in a bikini, you become a hypocrite yourself when you perceive islam as 'always moderate' (the way musharraf wanted it) but you yourself cant practice it. or may be you can when secularism reaches to a stage when wearing bikinis and praying in them would be considered the real islam and all you have to do then is to sail along because that sounds just so moderately right, right ?

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    @ ms.rahat

    if i may remind and correct you (incase your a regular muslim), its not islamic parties or molvies that want to keep women in burka, its Allah and His Quran and muhammad's (SAW) shariah that has recommended and made it obligatory for women to cover themselves, as in burka...

    if you have problems with this, no one is stopping you to get naked in pubs and on roads..but then dont complain it to people, tell Allah that you dont like His laws and tell your prophet that you dont like burka...

    You talk of women rights, there a reason why your head is confused listening to much hyped buzz of women lib these days. theres certainly a reason why God sent more than 100,000 messengers and none of them was a woman...

    there's precedence and preference in in life matters for both men and women. women cant fight off wars and become soldiers. women cant fly boeing 777's. theres are reason why women are first to get off upon learning that their pilot is a woman. lol...and then theres a reason why men cant give birth and get pregnant and feed kids. just that your head has some mess in itdoesnt mean youre right.

    a simple logic, to why you sound so secular, because your horizons end on being part of political parties and thats it for u. no, there more to it, theres much more than where your thinking ends = )

  • Shuaib Baig - 17 years ago

    Why don't you go for Imran Khan, Musharraf is alright have ability to lead but he screwed up the nation on one side which is WAR ON TERROR.

    Assalam O Alykum

    Who-Should-be-The-President-of-Pakistan

    Im inclosing two interviews of two great anchors of Pakistan.

    Please view both interviews and think who best can serve Pakistan?

    We have seen how matters and conditions are with most of the leaders of Pakistan from the different political parties and the backgrounds.

    The two leaders of Pakistan in two videos are;

    Janab Parvez Mushariff and Janab Zaid Hamid

    Both are without any conclusive political parties neither they have any political backgrounds.

    We have come to know Janab Parvez Mushariff in some great details and lived the eight years of his some good, some bad and some confusing ruling times. Over all wasnt that bad.

    We have not yet seen this remarkable anchor Janab Zaid Hamid in any ruling role, however we have come to know him enough to know; there will be no one better than him to serve the constitution of Pakistan; how its meant to and suppose to be served.

    I have chosen these two leaders of our times, out of all those out there based on a simple criterion:

    Should we try old and tested Janab Parvez Mushariff once more time?

    Or

    Should we try the young and new Janab Zaid Hamid first ever time?

    Both interviews of both leaders in differnet videos suggests the honesty, wisdom, fearlessness, total control, fairness and both has can do attitudes, which is the most important ingredient and the measurement of any vibrant and the strong multidimensional leadership.

    Also must remember, when you give your votes dont give votes because someone looks good, or can talk good, or has an international standing. We want a competent, viable, intelligent, visionary, brave, outstanding decision maker, who can lead from the front as a leader for Pakistan.

    Also must remember, the candidate of the presidency must be independent, partial, neutral and must not belong to any pressure group, political party or to any lobby group.

Chalka hoye kartoos ko royal reception nahi milta hai saudia Arab main ... Apni akal per say parda uthaoo...

Allah nay tum ko agar aqal di hai to us ka istemal kro meary bhai

  • rahat - 17 years ago

    @waqasayub22, Zardari is here just because of you stupid people always calling for "Democracy" that can only bring Zardri or Nawaz badmash in power.. and people of Pakistan will always suffer like this under this CIA sponsored feudal Democracy. Today we are facing what Zia ul Haq did with this country by spreading extremism and not the true essence of Islam that is always moderate . Who ever calling Musharraf secular should understand that he is the one who gave women their rights and gave more representation in the political setup. He also gave freedom of speech and opened up electronic media which every so called democratic Islamic government failed to do.

    Our Islamic political parties are hypocrites, they just want to put women inside the walls in burqa... they say America is our enemy and their children live and work in USA.

    We have seen all and Musarraf is the best among all the above lot. If you think anti-extremism is secularism than yes we all who support Musharraf are secular.

  • waqasayub22 - 17 years ago

  • Abid Mohiuddin - 17 years ago

    I am a practicing Muslim ,Pakistani and from Karachi.

    I think we need a "Sipa salar; to win the war not a moulvi or jagirdar . Even if Musharraf does not practce religion as much ,he has won my heart and of all my teenage kids, who are good practicing Muslims .

    I am supporting Mushrraf for a lot of leadership qualities, which will need centuries to reproduce:" Bari Mushkil se hota hai chaman me deedawar paida" ,

    I am not supporting him because hee is from Karachi or whatever .I love him as a true sincere Pakstani leader and love his slogan " Sub se pahle Pakistan!" he deserves it.Any body who differs with me should comefoward with an genuine alternative

  • N. Ahmed - 17 years ago

    Patriotism+Honesty + Vision + Islam + INTELLECT = The One & Only 'ZAID HAMID'.
    How Could the Lovers of Musharraf Forget the 'Lal MasJID' INCIDENT so Soon?
    PL. Up Grade Your Brains...Do u Really Think, A Mass Murderer of Innocent Muslims Deserves to be the President of a 'Islamic Country'.

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    u r right ali. pakistanis of today are obsessed and inspired by indian secularism. they prefer the jargon 'moderate and secular islam'... this is the only reason why todays people would prefer any 'moderate' (secular) man like musharraf over a man whos educated and spritually a muslim. pakistan cannot sustain without being islamic...because it wasnt a secular state to be in first place and secular people will never be able to do any real good to it except what theyve already done.

  • ali - 17 years ago

    If a person is sincere to pakistan will always vote for a person who is sincere enough to the teachings of Islam.

    For those ppl its very difficult and do not want to follow Islam will always vote for corrupt ppl.

  • ali - 17 years ago

    I will vote Mohtaram Qazi hussain Ahmed.

    Our leaders struggled to get a separate country in the name of Islam so that we can follow the rules of Islam with indepedence not to have the rules broken
    independently.

    People who does not want Pakistan to stay more on this earth as a MUSLIM COUNTRY will definitely vote for the person who is corrupt like pvz mush he is the one who is so called a muslim but there are so many things which opposes him and he is out of ISLAM,however f he offer wudu say KALIMA with his heart and be a muslim he can be brought back.Otherwise nobody like him to come back to this pak land.

  • raamish - 17 years ago

    zaid hamid is the best bcoz only that person should be the president of Pakistan who has a deep insight about everything which is happening around. and zaid hamid is the one. he knows past, has better analysis of present and he has better predictions and preparations for future.

  • faisal - 17 years ago

    I was amazed at the comment given by one of the person saying that 20% of the population has internet. I guess this 20% has the brain and the ability to think logical and factual about people.

    I guess we all know who should be the president of the country but we all cannot deny who will be the president of our country. Politics sucks.

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

  • Syed Mumtaz Haider - 17 years ago

    Musharaf should be our president since he has all qualities that a leader should have that he proved also from his performance during his last eight years of government. He took the actions, some bitter decisions and steps in the interest of nation and Pakistan knowing that these will affect his popularity and image. He is open minded, have a vision for Pakistan and its nation. He is true soldier who could not bargain for the soverignity of Pakistan. Who draw a line to support USA in a war on terror and refused to give concession more than that. That's why he was forced to resign. Otherwise he was still in power. We should always compare present with the past to move forward by taking right decision in right direction. Whatever he did with the constitution and so called judiciary did not affect the general public, but whatever is being done by our politicians and leaders in the name of democracy and reconciliation and how the government is functioning is directly affecting to common people who are deprived of sugar, atta, electricity and other basic commodatities. The stories of corruption and scandles are emerging on daily basis, writ of government is almost finished, all ministers, MPAs and MNAs and Senators and power holders are busy in just accumulating wealth, which is evident from Sugar and Atta Scandles. All owners of Sugar and Atta mills are parlimentarians from PPP and PMLN. That's why no action and no query has been ordered or conducted. Even no suo moto action has been taken by Supreme Court since they purpose of lawyers' movement has been achived i.e. restoration of Ch. Iftikhar and removal of Musharaf. Now public should go to heal! There is no rally, no protest and no hue and cry since public is sufferring not the politicians and NGOS.

  • Faisal - 17 years ago

    I think Mr. Pervaiz Musharraf should be the President of PAkistan

  • Kiran - Rawalpindi - 17 years ago

    I agree with Jalil. This is high time that all leaders who want to bring betterment for the country should work together as a team.. this is not a time when individual figures could really bring any stable change to our country soon enough.

    A combination of Musharraf, Imran Khan and Zaid Hamid is excellent.. they can work together setting a side their differences and only for the cause of saving Pakistan out of imminent threats and great challenges to our existence.

    If all current leaders really care even little about Pakistan and her people then they should sit together to make a strategy and bring Pakistan out of crises but they are just pulling each others legs, doing only politics of their parties and adding fuel to the crises through media and talk shows - at the one end they blame and criticize each other so hard on talk show and on other hand they drink together and enjoy parties with each other at the same time.... means they are just playing with the common people of Pakistan who dont have much education to understand what is actually happening to them since Pakistan came into being.

    A team of good, honest and patriotic people is a life saving drud for this ICU dying patient name Pakistan!

  • Jalil - 17 years ago

    I think Pervaz Musharraf, Imran Khan and Ziad Hamid should work together for Pakistan setting their differences aside and use each others skill for the betterment of Pakistan. This poll also reflects the same 1st is Muhsrraf, 2nd is Imran Khan and 3rd is Zaid Hamid

    Jeooo Pak Alert Press.. Jeooo

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    Today's Headline: US Congress approves $2.3bn aid package for Pakistan. DAWN

    Congrats everyone -

    And now the reality:

    1. About 45 to 50 % to be deducted in administrative purposes [reason being routing through American agencies]
    2. About 1 billion $ to be spent on new American consulates in Islamabad/Peshawar

    Result: Total take home aid = $0.3 mn with more stringent conditions and hype. And we know where will that 0.3mb go. LOL. No doubt, Americans ARE clever.

    The best part:

    Tomorrow's headline on WSJ/NYT: 70% - 90% of aid misused by Pakistan against India.

    India: Wuff wooof woooof. Pakistan scares us. US should see into this.

    Musharraf: Yes, that's true. We are right. We will do whatever we want. Nobody can stop us. We will use it against India or wherever we want. We got all the aid, and we used it against India and purchasing arms. To hell with you all. I'm the best *fist brandishing*

    USA: Pakistan to face more conditions. Pakistan has to do more. It's military aid may also be suspended.

    Conclusion: Pakistan is a bitch to US. It's screwing her without paying her.

    Musharraf: But I'm still the best.

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    @ Wajeeha: there's a DIFFERENCE when media QUOTES something and when media analyzes something and as an intelligent person (i hope) you need to understand this fact. When you quote something, it is NOT analyzing someone's statements. And when someone analyzes a statement, in that they could build it onto their own interpretation and analysis. Now, what i showed you above is a direct quotation of Mr.Musharraf and not an analysis. I know what he said and what he meant. It very clear. And I'll tell you a secret. It's not diplomatic. This is one general who has been a self-proclaimed politician. The way he talks and give these ruffian blunt statements are OK, if he had no problems calling himself a dictator. I have no problems with anyone being a dictator or a politician. To hell with it, if their sound judgment shows in their decisions 10 years later and it's in best interest of Pakistan and it really proves so. But here it doesn't or does it ?

    Now do you want me to direct you to general Hamid Guls interviews on musharraf and 9/11, that you'll understand how hard his decisions hit Pakistan and what actually happened ? From kargil to emergency, everything included, and on top of that Musharraf accepting his mistakes one by one now ? What kind of a confused state is the self-exiled coward in ?

    Please note few points he mentioned in the interview:

    1. His decisions were based not on being right or wrong, but that he was afraid of America and India attacking us and destroying us. Does it show any self-belief or belief as a muslim in Allah ? He hasn't mentioned if we were right or wrong, all he emphasized upon is, america and india would have destryoed us. To hell with such a gutless general and leader of one of the world's finest armies, if that is all he comes up with when petty countries like iran and vietnam and now some more see USA eye ball to eye ball. On top of that, what did he demand in return ?

    2. Our sovereignty would have been violated. What a joke, haha..as if it's so intact now ?

    3. They would have violated our air space. Again as if no drones flying without your permissions and it has gotten so deep that its so difficult now to tell americans to behave, so much so that india has started violating pakistan ?

    4. This is MOST IMPORTANT: He mentioned that there is NO difference in his policies and zardari's relating to America and 9/11. How do you analyze this now ? This statement necessarily means that just as there is no difference in bush or obama, there's no difference in zardari or musharraf; both equally "beneficial" to pakistan. I can literally pick this one line and write an article on it, would it be wrong that musharraf said that there is no difference in policies of his and zardari's ?

    5. At a time when arms aid is already being subjected to much suspicions , this is the most kiddish statement from a former general. now it has created a new issue for pakistan's aid program, in that it may be suspended. I tell you what he is. he is not diplomatic and he doesn't know how to talk in a diplomatic way. Everyone knows how to use the aid. He would have used thousands of better answers, anything like, 'no, we have always used the aid at the right place and in an optimal manner against WoT'. I mean what an idiot.

    I could go on and on this, but this is not my thing here. You may be supporting him because you like him. My thing is a little different. I compare him to leaders whose judgments show in their decisions. I compare him to Quaid e azam. I compare him to Saladin. I know it sounds crazy but i'm not up for anyone or anything cuz it's best of the worst lot. When you have high hopes and high standards, you look for such people. When all you know as leaders is zardari or musharraf, LOL, then that's where your horizon ends. This secular pakistan that mush was trying to build has it screwed up. Pakistan is a fundamental islamic state. And if we deviate from that, this is the least of problems we

    some one should look after our media hard.. the editors are just fucking assholes.. they made big big headlines about that and then it became international issue.. what the fuck our so called Pakistani media want??? why these illiterate people are running these print and electronic media outlets???

    Watch it yourself what Musharraf said about that: http://www.pakalertpress.com/2009/09/16/former-president-musharrafs-interview-on-frontline-sep-13/

    There was nothing bad or irresponsible Musharraf said.. he talked login which is true.. but our fucking media published headlines and discussed this as an issue for several days in brainwashing talk shows.. what a circus!!!!

Please watch this yourself and try to understand how media twists things for their agenda.. learn from this example.. our media is the one who mislead the entire story just for their rating without thinking about the consequences.

    Musharraf admits US aid diverted
    Pervez Musharraf
    Mr Musharraf says he acted in the best interest of Pakistan

    Former president Pervez Musharraf says the US military aid given to Pakistan during his tenure was used to strengthen defences against India.

    The money was used to arm the troops who moved with their equipment from the western border to the east based on the perceived threats, he said.

    The US gave $10bn dollars to Pakistan to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

    In 2007, Pakistan rejected a report which said it had used $5bn on weapons systems designed to fight India.

    Pakistan's military had described the New York Times report as "nonsense".

    'Did right'

    "Wherever there is a threat to Pakistan, we will use it [equipment provided by the US] there. If the threat comes from al-Qaeda or Taliban, it will be used there. If the threat comes from India, we will most surely use it there," Mr Musharraf told Pakistan's Express News television channel.

    "There is nothing like this equipment has come from the US and must only be used against Taliban, or that equipment has come from China and must be used against this or that," he added.

    Mr Musharraf confirmed that the weapons were indeed used against India.

    "We did right. What we did, we did right. We have to ensure Pakistan's security. From whichever side the threat comes, we will use the entire force there."

    Mr Musharraf said he did not care if this diversion of aid angered the US.

    "Whoever wishes to be angry, let them be angry, why should we bother? We have to maintain our security, and the Americans should know, and the whole world should know that we won't compromise our security, and will use the equipment everywhere."

    Meanwhile, India said Mr Musharraf's statement merely confirmed "what we have suspected over a long time and what we have suggested all along".

    "We do not feel that such assistance should be turned around and used against us," news agency Reuters quoted India's junior external affairs minister Shashi Tharoor as saying.

    "We pose no threat to Pakistan and we find that this kind of diversion is neither in the interest of the sub continent nor of those who are giving this assistance."

    This is the first time Pakistan has admitted to diverting the US aid to strengthen its defences against India.

    In the past, Pakistan's army has dismissed claims that aid from the US had been misappropriated.

    My vote is positively for President Musharraf, He is able, honest, educated and have very decent leadership qualities to pull out our nation from the present mess, on the other hand, we the Pakistani people should get together and join
    like minded forces to reach out those good people who is not on board to support for a batter change, by informing them the truth about the capabilities of the leaders we have now, compare to President Musharraf.

  • Jana Alvi - 17 years ago

    Musharraf is always the best choice.. we have seen his policies and vision for future.. he is not a liar and one of those fortunate men on earth whos words being quoted by his own enemies. He only surrendered for the betterment of Pakistan. He is already playing his role by marketing Pakistan worldwide.. no one in the history of Pakistan had this opportunity to visit so many universities and attended so many lecture circuits world wide.. He is doing an excellent job by defending Pakistan where on the other hand India is doing negative propaganda to declare us a terrorist nation and no Pakistani leader doing anything about that.. tell me what Nawaz Sharif or Imran Khan have done to address propaganda against Pakistan? nothing.. but they put more flue in it by recklessly criticize Pakistani governments.

    Even though our biased media is not giving proper coverage to the lecture circuits of Muahsrraf but he is getting extremely popular in the world and in Pakistan as well.

    Now Musharraf should plan some actions to take the power back from these corrupt feudals and get back Pakistan on track as it was in 2006 -

  • Rizwan - 17 years ago

    WHAT DOES THE GEO CONSULTANT MR. HAZINSKI BELIEVE IN? His address to the American Jewish Council dated 12/13/2007.

    Destabilizing Pakistan

    Geo has been blamed for participating in and highlighting events as per CNN instructions.

    Why is Geo not report Gen. Kayani’s statement that he suspects a foreign hand to destabilize and denuclearize Pakistan ?

    Saboteurs trained in Afghanistan have been inserted into Pakistan to aggravate extremist passions here, especially after the Red Mosque operation.

    Chinese citizens continue to be targeted by individuals pretending to be Islamists, when no known Islamic group has claimed responsibility. . A succession of “religious rebels” with suspicious foreign links have suddenly emerged in Pakistan over the past months claiming to be “Pakistani Taliban”. Some of the names include Abdul Rashid Ghazi, Baitullah Mehsud, and now the Maulana of Swat. Some of them have used, and are using, encrypted communication equipment far superior to what the Pakistani military owns.

    Money and weapons have been fed into the religious movements and al-Qaeda remnants in the tribal areas.

    Exploiting the situation, assets within the Pakistani media started promoting the idea that the Pakistani military was killing its own people.. The rest of the unsuspecting media quickly picked up this message. Some botched US and Pakistani military operations against al-Qaeda that caused civilian deaths accidentally fed this media campaign.This was the perfect timing for the launch of Military, Inc: Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy, a book authored by Ayesha Siddiqa Agha, a columnist for a Pakistani English-language paper and a correspondent for “Jane’s Defense Weekly”, a private intelligence service founded by experts close to British intelligence. (Ahmed Quraishi is an investigative reporter, currently hosting a weekly political talk show titled Worldview from Islamabad .)

    DR. Mere Mutabiq

    Mere Mutabiq was always a part of conspiracies against democratic Govt in Pakistan. The claimer of patriot and well wisher of this soil and people of Pakistan is just burning in personal vendetta, Because he was fired from the post of MD. The reason behind is removal was the corruption, and damage he gave to the national asset.

    Kamran Khan

    Kamran Khan is much famous with his links with MI6 in the past. I don’t know what his link with MI6 and for which purpose was. I always found him creating chaos and unrest among people with his fake and fabricated facts.

    Shaheen Sehbai

    Shaheen Sehbai is one of those person for whom this soil does not matter instead they preferred their personal interests. Those who know Mr. Shaheen Sehbai personally would be well aware of his greedy nature. He always tried to lick the shoes of current rulers for personal benefits. Now he is maneuvering to get green card of US for himself because his reality is an open secret now.

  • Rizwan - 17 years ago

    GEO TV……Cannot answer the following questions.

    Pro-Indian attitude.

    Why does GEO :

    * Discuss Indian election, as if it is a Pakistani election?
    * Pay so much attention to Bollywood?
    * So soft on Anti-Pakistan Bollywood films?
    * Behave like the arm of a foreign power?
    * Try to create “Indianization” of Pakistan ?
    * Extremely promote “IPL” (Indian premier league),
    * While it ignores ” Pakistan 20/20 playing same time”.
    * Never covers the 89 separatist movements in India ?
    * Double game: First exploiting situation, build up pressure on govt to start operation. Then become innocent and condemn the operation. They do this repeatedly.
    * Indianized dramas i.e Shaka Laka Boom Boom, Bachey Mann Kay Sachay, Dilruba Nautanki
    * It has become a willing or paid instrument of those who wanted to destabilize Pakistan

    To de-stabilizing Pakistan .
    Why does GEO:

    * Usually ignores/ gives less importance to Pakistani good news and achievements?
    * Focus on creating crises and general discontent?
    * Avoid to discuss/focus foreign interference in Pakistan ?
    * Repeating demoralizing comments on the economy of Pakistan ?
    * Try to scare foreign investors away from Pakistan ?
    * Act like an instrument or extension of a foreign power?
    * Despite having good reporters, it also employ a host doubtful crooks who have no loyalty to Pakistan loyalty (Mr. Shaharyar Azhar, Ms. Sana Bucha)?
    * Double game: First exploiting situation, build up pressure on govt to start operation. Than become innocent and condemn it?

    Making Pakistanis to think anti-Pakistan/ spread hopelessness.
    Why does GEO:

    * Geo focuses on showing beheading of people and other depressing news ?
    * Why does Geo show dead bodies?
    * Cancel to show positive program (CARRIER ONLINE) and start to show ( CRISES CELL) type of negative program ?
    * Why to represent strange drama “Kia Aliya nay Pakistan chor dia”, while a good Pakistani channel should develop public morale, especially at this time ?
    * Why does Geo show wrong Pakistani maps? while not showing 250 million people sleeping on sidewalks in India ?
    * What hand did Geo play in scaring the foreign investors away from Pakistan ?

    Handsome salaried hosts

    * Kamran Khan getting RS 25 lakh per month. Income vs. salary?
    * Dr. Shahid Mahmud used to get Rs 22 laks per month. He was a member of NSF student Front.
    * Hamid Mir the Editor of “Ausaf” get Rs. 22 Lakh per month.
    * Nadia Khan gets Rs 6 lacs per month.
    * Urdu is not used by many hosts. Morning host shows are in English and “Urdlish” ( a horrible combination)

    All Geo viewers should want to find the truth. If things do not change, Pakistanis should ban Geo in their homes and of their relatives and friends and mount a campaign against this anti-Pakistani channel that gets richer because of the huge funds it receives from some foreign nations including a super power.

    ORIGINS OF GEO:
    At GEO-TV’s main broadcast center in Karachi , Hazinski, a Jew built a newsroom around 24 Mac G4s running Final Cut Pro. News footage is captured with 40 Sony PD150s and 15 PD100s. NewTek Video Toaster 2 systems are used at bureaus in Islamabad and Lahore to switch between the main broadcast center. David Hazinski is the GEO TV consultant and provide training.

    WHO IS DAVID HAZINSKI?
    Geo was started with the help of an ex US Naval Petty Officer by the name of Hazinski (his introduction at bottom)who has links with Mr. Casper Weinberger and many Indian channels.
    David Hazinski, owns Intelligent Media Consultants who provide training to Aaj Tak and CNN-IBN in India and GEO TV in Pakistan . He is the principle architect of GEO-TV and managed the station’s launch. Hazinski was contacted by the Jang Group, Pakistan ’s largest newspaper publisher and GEO-TV’s owner, after he shepherded the successful launch of a similar station in India in January 2001. Aaj Tak, the first all-news, Hindi-language channel in India ,=2 0now has a 60% share of the news audience in India .

  • syed shah - 17 years ago

    People like you will reap the award hereafter for bringing the truth out from the liars colony. Fear Allah(subhana ta’ala) only and no one else.

    Yes ! you are right, it is only the corrupt and heavily bribed Pakistani media by the Most criminal mafia Nawaz Sharif.

    Nawaz certainly knows that Musharraf is a biggest threat on his political existence.

    In fact, we had conducted a telephonic survey and asked to 100 people.
    the answer was close to your results. Majority still admire Musharraf and condemn Nawaz. According to our survey Musharraf received 53 percent votes in favor and Nawaz received 7 percent and the rest were a split. The manifesto of our website http://www.bhagobachotv.com is to please Allah(subhana ta’ala) and not the personalities, but expose the fact , solution and the punishment guided from the Holy Quran
    Keep it up.

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    I'm totally surprised at how people judge a leaders intellect, decisions, character, will and most importantly qualities of being a Muslim. The strong man mush brandishing his fist looked like a jester when he peed in his pants on American pressure, making them the gods and now acknowledging he should have demanded 20 billion $ a year.

    Just wait and watch, the beloved schmuck musharraf is already accepting charges against him, day by day. In that, he's already answering your questions. So may be you do not need to sport support for him and later on change your views - which you will when you realize what crap he has put this country into in terms of immense american and jewish involvement/set up in pakistan. He paved the way, the rest is done now. Just get hands on his confession-interviews and statement and have the courage to paste them here...lol

    he'll be long gone forgotten in few years or even if he lives, the point remains, he has no potential whatsoever to bring pakistan's destiny to it. If you disagree, then you, you and you, do not know what is pakistans destiny. The same goes for all existing politicians, decadent to the bone.

    Must watch: Mushrraf interview on Frontline with Kamran Shahid

    http://www.pakalertpress.com/2009/09/16/former-president-musharrafs-interview-on-frontline-sep-13/

    Musharaf had no choice after 9/11 but to support the USA otherwise Pakistan would have to fight combined forces of India, Nato and USA and that would have been completely disastrous for our nation.

    If Lal Masjid was wrong then Malakad Operation is also wrong which is being supported by whole nation and the media.

    If Bugti action was wrong than why i army still present in Baluchistan now and why the militancy is still being curbed as it was in Musharrf's Era? So it means Muhsrraf is not culprit and these actions are necessary for Pakistan’s security and existence hence all Muhsarraf actions were right.

    Dr. Afia was arrested from Afghanistan on some serious charges and its nothing but just hoax linking her case with Muharraf. Missing person is also hoax and there is no evidence of Musharraf’s direct involvement in any case.

    No one have any proof about Musharraf , it is just propaganda. People of Pakistan already suffering and regretting for what they have done in 2008.

    No one hates Musharraf but Few politicians and the media for their vasted interests. Common man of Pakistan doesn't care if their president is Musharraf or Zardari.. they need jobs, opportunities and necessities of life.. they simply dont care but people of Pakistan are smart enough to atleast compare 2006 to 2009 and can see the difference.. tell me when the lawyer's movement was on its peak, the CJ of Pakistan said many times that when Judges are restored all things will become normal OR when Muhsarraf was president and campaign was launched against him.. everyone was claiming that when Muharraf go off the scene everything will become normal.. tell me have you seen that happening? NO Sir!
    Things are getting worst day by day.. in the first time of Pakistani history people are dying in long lines just to get floor and sugar.. people are dying just to get cheap Atta..

    You Musharraf haters cannot see anything else.. you are just so blind that you cant see who is good or who is bad.. you just belove what media is telling you.. you are just brainwashed by the talk shows and PML-N favored anchors and hosts on tv channels.

    Wake up dear and go outside your home and interview common man.. ask them if 2006 was better or 2009 and you will get the idea.. I am not counting 2007 because everything started to ruin after lawyers and media started to destabilize Pakistan.

    Talk logic and may be people stop voting Muahsrraf by your arguments.. but Muhsarraf haters are just repeating the same propaganda again and again and no one cares about that now..

    I think musharaf has asked his servants to keep on voting him... thats why he;s getting these votes... we all hate him its clear...!
    no one can love such a bloody person!

  • Abdullah Saeed - 17 years ago

    First of all Pak Alert Press is doing a great job...
    Musharaf is a duffer person n because of him Pakistan is now going to dogs... He brought the so0-called war againt TERRORISM in Pakistan, He used to lick the feet of USA... and finally brought them in our country in the form of suicide bombers n drone attackers n he gave the USA way to Afghanistan.. the bloody person he is.. He locked Dr. Abdul Qadir who;s no doubt the hero of Pakistan a patriot..
    I can tell all the bloody things that he has done... I think he should be killed as soon as possible...
    And about Zardari, I cant explain as Its Ramadan n about that dog. I wanna say so much...
    He the bloody didnt do a single just a single work for the betterment of nation.. no jobs unemployment, load shedding, nothing to eat...
    all these things compell our youth to do suicide attacks...
    Zardari is the second rich person of Pakistan n I hope he'll soon become the first one if he dont stop licking the feets of USA...
    His all money is in abroad banks... n if he sells his half of land, then all debts will be clear from pakistan...
    He's wasting govt's rupees and visiting all countries.. never sticks to home...
    I dont where do he want to take this money? in grave? I think he no longer believes in Allah...
    religion would be a formality for him, he is AZAAB-e-Elaahi...
    Pakistan wont make progress in all his reign...
    I wonder why do people fight for democracy, exept some leaders tenure, Pakistan only did make progress in Martial Laws... but I tell u the fact behind this that why do our politicians want democracy...
    because Bari Machhliyan i mean big fishes which are our politians they get nothing in Martial law, while they get pays of lacs in democracy
    and poor nation think that we have got freedom from martial law
    I personally like martial laws..
    May God bless our country.. I'm a true patriot and can;t watch all this bad situation.. Allah please give us good leaders like Quaid-e-Azam...

    today , what ever pakistan is facing, is the consequences of Pervez Musharaf's actions. he was a timid coward man . he could not withstand any kind of pressure. in simple words he was not eligible to sit on the president chair of a country like pakistan. he even could not foresee the consequences of his actions , how could he be called a leader. he is responsible for the miserable state of Pakistan today.

    we donot need landlords ,industrialists,Thieves ,decoits to lead Pakistan. TODAY WE NEED A LEADER, A LEADER IN TRUE MEANINGS, ELSE WE DIE.

  • Sangeen ALi - 17 years ago

    salam to all friends :

    though i voted in this poll, but i noticed some unusual thing here , and that is the vote %age for Pervez Musharaf .
    i am a common man and i live among the common people of Pakistan , i know that how much hatred is there for Pervez Musharaf in hearts of the people of Pakistan. what i want to say, is, this poll is just a "welfare" or volunteer services to Musharaf. u cannot raise a person or brithens his image with these fake votes.

  • I’ll start this short write-up with a fact that when Musharraf was asked about British security, he politely refused, after which the UK Government arranged for a detail on the premise that Musharraf in public is a danger for the British public. But since only two parties, namely: i) Musharraf; and ii) British Government can agree or deny with this statement and our current discussion is not dependent on this fact, we would continue on.

    A few weeks back a research report was released that the British Royalty and politicians are costing British tax payers billions of dollars annually. One newspaper also reported a similar story, however, strangely the news was quickly hushed up. A couple of weeks passed by when other reports started emerging about the security costs of British Royalty, politicians and some bureaucrats. Next day, out of nowhere every British newspaper ran the cover story of Musharraf costing Britain 25000 pounds per dinner, which is automatically assumed to be nine million pounds (£9 million) annually. As expected, all the limelight from British Royalty, politicians and bureaucrats has been diverted to Musharraf. Believe it or not, he still commands such an attention. So, in one sentence, this was the only reason for the release of this news, to get the attention away from British elite enjoying their luxurious lifestyles at the expense of recession stricken British public. And they succeeded.

    Before ending this short critique, it should be brought into notice that every newspaper gave the heading “Musharraf costing 25000 pounds per Dinner”, however, none of them had provided details of whether this is daily dinner at his home which costs British tax payers this much or his formal dinners at five star hotels which costs British tax payers twenty-five thousand pounds, and which happens once or twice a month. In the latter case the total cost would come down, dramatically from 9 million pounds to mere quarter of a million pounds.

    The British media should be congratulated. Just with a play of words, they have very successfully not only completely diverted the attention of the public away from the real leeches, but kept themselves completely innocent as they did not say:

    Ooh We need a leader who can change police and end all this CORRUPTION. Musharraf can not do this. Or not any of them can do.

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    now u must be thinking why im so against mushy. i know ive to explain this too because unless u read it from link and paste it here, you'll not understand. ill tell u what. im not against mushy. he's just a petty addition to the long list of culprits in undermining pakstan eventually. and in 5 years he'll be so forgotten like others. the point is: when do we learn. when do we understand who is capable, EVEN THOUGH we try someone for 8 years and still not understand. the man has some qualities like alcohol has goodness in it but its bad affects are more - same goes for mush. im not a leg puller or advocate or be against someone just to prove myself right. all i say is a fundamental thing: Pakistan was made in name of islam and will be led by someone who has respect, sincerity and honesty for islam and the motive behind pakistan. if you cannot find the right person, dont support whatever shows up. its the only thing i support zaid hamid for. he is the man who at least has it all in sincerity and honesty.

  • naghmi - 17 years ago

    Pervez Musharraf is an honest,sincere,intelligent,brave,level headed and unbaised person who loves his country and has a sense of responsibilty towards the betterment of his country which is unlike other GREEDY, SELFISH, DUMB, IDIOT POLITICAL LEADERS who unfortunately have the power now who are trying their best to plunder country's wealth,integrity and are disgracing PAKISTANS name in the world all over .I would go all the way for PERVEZ MUSHARRAF as PRESIDENT of PAKISTAN .

  • SHUMAYEL - 17 years ago

    this goes for mr."abdul kalaam". i dont know which abdul kalam are you, but please dont refer me to your so-called research. because what you call research is what i call getting impressed by someone elses articles, pasting it here and then calling it your research. no, you do not need to cite me reference of these sites that everyone knows about and keeps reproducing at blogs and forums. and then, you also do not need to reproduce the cliched 'dont be ignorant , please do some research' phrases to anyone here. jus a question for you. today headline: "Iftikhar Chaudhry's removal was a mistake: Musharraf" (The Nation). so where would you paste from to support mushy at this or would u use ur own pate ? Yesterday's headline was mushy maligning pakistans arms aid in confessing that he diverted funds to be used against india. do you understand why is he doing that ? no, thats not pakistan first slogan. thats musharraf first and thats emotionally blackmailing pak army to intervene in his trial. i will tell you a secret, it goes in urdu: 'nazdeeki faiday kay liay duur ka nuksaan karnay wala akalmand nai'. and all that lawyer movement and all is meant to disturb pakistan and create chaos here. there is a reason mushy was bushys darling for 7 years and then was removed because greater traitors were found.

    it is without doubt that what he has done will take decades to be reversed. is it not true that it will take years to tell usa to get lost ? is it not true that when mushaf ali mir denied giving US the PAF bases, he was killed and where mush was also against mushaf ali meer ? and is it not true that when mush intervened without any knowledge in paf matters and when kaleem sadat told him we cannot use chinese awacs in place of swedish awacs because they are no better and no use to paf, that mush told him in his face 'what is your problem?' is it not true that red masjid massacre has been his greatest blunder ? is it not true that he let americans do whatever they wanted ? and is not true that the very kargil operation was mr.musharrafs adventure where paf was kept out of knowledge of it and it has disastrous affects on pakistan. and then is it not that his very self appointment as all in all in pakistan is not justified and that it has produced more one-man-show people. for you , you may say no and still support for people we have tested and who have failed us deliberately, but not for me and many people.

    we have seen many morons but its without doubt that this one was king of morons. but we can forget him and many and move on given that we ve to change our approach of coups and all. no one has given right to army to arrange coups. strength does not mean misuse of it. this also does not mean that i support the bald pate sharif or for that matter any other politician. in my say, the only person who can lead this nation is the one who has character of a muslim and one that shows. one who has sincerity and honesty. these are overused words but these are the fundamentals. and i tell u if pak were to become what u and i and all pakistanis want, nawaz or mush or qazi or imran CANNOT do it. i swear to God they can never do it, because not only they lack the wisdom but also the sincerity in first place.

    thats a long thing i wrote, but all i want to say is...DONT BE SO IGNORANT, DONT PASTE LINKS TO PEOPLE. TRY ANALYZING THINGS AND DONT SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SINCERE, HONEST OR BETTER MUSLIMS. and it shows when theres are person who has it all. it then shows like quaid e azam and allama iqbal. these all combined cannot come up with one saying of quaid e azam, what to talk of their character. so please, dont find you luck in morons and bad muslims.

  • Hamza - 17 years ago

    Currently there is a propaganda campaign underway against Gen. Musharraf, alleging that he is costing britian 25000 pounds daily, which is a lie.

    The campaign so well organized that if any comment is posted on a british news site or blog with facts and figures, proving this statement wrong, it is immediately deleted.

    There is an article which tries to dismentle the fallacy this propaganda is preaching. The link is as follows:

    we need to copy this news on as many Pakistani blogs/sites as possible, to counter the British/Indian propaganda.

  • Annie - 17 years ago

    As for NRO, this was a conciliatory gesture initiated by the President, which, in fact, enabled the present ruling parties’ heavy weights to return from their self imposed exile from abroad and participate in the ensuing elections, which they readily did.

    Pervez Musharraf resigned on August 18, 2008 and the PPP Co- Chairman, Asif Ali Zardari took over.The newly elected PPP Govt. has been in place for the last more than an year and a half. Its performance, under the custodianship of Zardari, can best be described as unmitigated disaster. All economic indicators that had been made positive during Mushrraf’s regime have turned negative. The economy has deteriorated so fast and to such an extent, that Pakistan has been declared as one of the failed states of the World. Sky rocketing inflation, ever mounting unemployment, rapidly deteriorating law and order situation , never ending energy crisis—lately joined by flour and sugar crisis, have all rendered the life of the common man miserable. The change of Govt. has proved catastrophic for the nation. This abysmal down slide is the cumulative effect of rampant corruption, all pervading nepotism, gross incompetence and worst governance. It appears that the attention and energies of the ruling class are exclusively focused on grabbing more and more power and pelf through all conceivable means. In this mad race, they have sidelined the masses, who are now being fed on false promises. For a common man, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The “begging bowl”, that was broken during Musharraf’s reign, has been resurrected and the Govt.’s emissaries are roaming all over the World seeking aid from every Tom, Dick and Harry. What a reversal of fortunes indeed! President Zardari is himself leading the charade nonchalantly and unabashedly. Moreover, he has miserably failed to live up to the expectations of the nation in all spheres of national activity.

    Pervez Musharraf has on many an occasion, opened up his mind saying, that Pakistan is his first priority. If it is so, won’t he take care of his forlorn baby? Everybody realizes that the gigantic task ahead for resurrecting the country’s devastated economy and rehabilitating its crippled institutions, is a far more difficult and exacting job now than was the case in 1999, yet a devoted and determined statesman like him, I am sure, has the acumen and capability to meet the challenges coming ahead, undauntedly. He is the only ray of hope for this forsaken nation. I trust, he will respond to this clarion call, at the earliest possible. Wish him God speed.

  • Annie - 17 years ago

    A leader is judged by what he delivers. Let us have an idea, what Pervez Musharraf has delivered in his 8-year stint in office. Pakistan economy grew by 100% to become $ 160 billion. Per Capita income grew by 100% to become $ 925. Foreign Reserves grew by 500 % to become $ 17 billion. Exports grew by 100% to become $ 18.5 billion. Direct Foreign Investment grew by 500% to become 8 billion. Poverty decreased by 10 % to become 24%.In 2006, Pakistan was the third fastest growing economy in the World and a preferred destination for investors. During his tenure, record number of projects were started and completed. Higher Education Sector budget that was mere Rs. 200 million in 1999, shot up to Rs.20 billion in 2007. During his tenure, Pakistan got out of IMF’s hold and its remarkable progress was acknowledged also by the World Bank, IMF and Asian Development Bank. Few adverse factors too came into play near to the end of his reign, due mainly to worldwide food inflation and constant rise in international oil prices. Lapses on the part of Administration also partly contributed to this fiasco since it failed to control hoarding and smuggling of food items. In aggregate, Musharraf has done much more for Pakistan than anyone else had done ever.

    General Pervez Musharraf-Saviour of PakistanAs regards his personal qualities, those who know him from close quarters would affirm that as a person, he is honest, straightforward, tolerant and humble. As a ruler, he has exhibited sterling qualities such as, statesmanship, courage, patriotism and incorruptibility. This explains why he has accomplished so much in so little a time. In common parlance, he is called a dictator, yet viewed in the light of his ways of working and behaving, he is far more democratic than most of his so-called democratic adversaries. In fact, it is his democratic policies that have made him unpopular. For instance, he granted un-fettered freedom to the media but media used its new-found freedom in making Musharraf its foremost target. He is he is the only dictator, who has fulfilled the promises he made; shedding of uniform, lifting of emergency, holding of free and fair elections and unconditionally accepting results of the elections. At present, he is the only living Pakistani leader known the World-over and is held in high esteem. He speaks in unequivocal terms with conviction.

    Certain allegations have been levelled against him by his opponents. Of these, Kargel War episode, Dr. Qadeer Khan’s case and participation in War on Terrorism have been dealt with, at length, by Pervez Musharraf in his speeches and memoirs (In the Line of Fire). In Lal Masjid’s case, action taken by the Govt. was unavoidable as no Govt. worth its name, could tolerate repeated violations of its writ by miscreants, who persistently indulged in unlawful and immoral activities. In Chief Justice I. M. Chaudhry’s case, reference against him was filed by Musharraf with the Supreme Judicial Council on charge of misconduct involving illegitimate favours extended to his son. The Supreme Court issued a short order dismissing the reference, but the detailed judgment is still awaited! The said case against the C.J., was mishandled and was fully exploited by the politicized lawyers who resorted to street agitation etc. The lawyers’ movement was high jacked by the Opposition, led by Nawaz Sharif’s Muslim League. Nawab Akber Bughti’s murder was a simple case blown out of all proportion. He was killed in a military action when Govt. repelled his sponsored terrorist activity launched by his followers who were destroying national assets like, Sui gas installations, railway tracks, bridges etc. Promulgation of PCO and NRO in November, 2007, has also been objected to. As admitted by Pervez Musharraf himself, the PCO issued was unconstitutional, and was rescinded. As for NRO, this was a conciliatory gesture initiated by the President, which, in fact, enabled the present ruling parties’ heavy weights to retur

    The then little known Pervez Musharraf, the Army Chief, emerged on the political horizon of Pakistan on October 12, 1999, by default, as circumstances forced him to take over the reins of the government The state of affairs prevalent at that time was extremely worrisome. Almost all state institutions had stood ruined. Economy, in particular, was in tatters—-Pakistan was on the verge of being declared a ‘ failed state’.

    Since the year 1988, four notables of the country, who have held the reins of power are: Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari. Having gone through their tenures, a bird’s eye view account of their performance is given as under:–

    Benazir and Zardari with Daphne BarakPPP leader, Benazir Bhutto, held the office of the prime minister twice—1988 to 1990 and 1993 to 1996. On both occasions, she was dismissed from office by the then Presidents on charges of corruption, mismanagement and incompetence. President Ghulam Ishaq Khan also alleged, that Benazir had a close friendship with Rajev Gandhi; had links with RAW and she had betrayed the Sikh cause by providing names of important Sikh leaders to the Indian Govt. As per press reports, in accordance with her negotiated power sharing deal with President Pervez Musharraf, she was granted amnesty and by virtue of NRO, all charges against her, including amassing of mammoth ill-gotten riches, were withdrawn. Unfortunately, she was assassinated soon after her return to Pakistan in December, 2007. The oft-repeated claim of PPP, including Benazir Bhutto, that they had promoted democracy in the country, is a complete hoax; she never conducted in-party elections—-nomination was the norm; she accepted life-Chairmanship of the party without any hesitation and in her “will”, she nominated her husband to be her successor, as if it was a dynastic rule. Democracy was thus confined merely to holding of general elections.

    Nawaz SharifNawaz Sharif also held the post of the Prime Minister twice—-from 1990 to 1993 and from 1997 to 1999. In 1993, he was dismissed by the President on charges of corruption, nepotism and incompetence. In 1999, he was ousted by the then Army Chief Pervez Musharraf, when he tried to get rid of him by not allowing his plane to land anywhere in Pakistan Before that, Nawaz got rid of former Army Chief, General Jahangir Kramat and former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He has often claimed of having promoted democracy, independent judiciary and freedom of press in the country. His” love” for “freedom of judiciary, reminds us of the attack by his cronies and goons on the Supreme Court in1997-98, where his case of misconduct was being heard .He repeatedly acted against the spirit of democracy by enacting oppressive laws like, “Ehtisab Accountability Law” and “Anti terrorism Act”. He curbed press freedom by promulgating “Registration of Printing Press and Publication Ordinance 1977” Foreign Currency Accounts were frozen which drastically undermined the domestic and foreigners’ confidence and led to withdrawal of 13 billion dollars from the FACS, in no time. All economic, social and security parameters had been relegated to their worst ever position.

    Taking into consideration the period from 1988 to 1999, it is note-worthy that the “democratic” governments of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif held five elections during this period, but none of the governments could complete its term, mainly due the intolerance and undemocratic attitude of its leaders… Both the top leaders never accepted the results of the elections. Not only that, both of them accused each other of being “security risk” for the country. Under these trying circumstances, Pervez Musharraf assumed power on October 12, 1999 and as stated earlier, Pakistan was on the brink of disaster then. He accepted the challenge and with great effort and skillful handling, placed its derailed economy back on the track.

    when will people learn? Musharraf didn't deserved the first time neither any other time and that doesn't mean i support Nawaz sharif. From this selection of personalities , i think most people will agree that only three can compete well and would try to make Islamic Pakistan become inshallah prosperous, those are : ImranKhan, QaziHussain or/and ZaidHamid. or if i may add HameedGul sahib.

    Vicki, no one have any proof about Musharraf , it is just propaganda. If Lal Masjid was wrong then Malakad Operation is also wrong but it is being supported by whole nation and the media. If Bugti action was wrong than why i amry still present in Baluchistan now and why the militancy is still being curbed as it was in Musharrf's Era? So means Muhsrraf is not culprit and these actions are necessary for Pakistan’s security and existence hence all Muhsarraf actions were right. Dr. Afia was arrested from Afghanistan on some serious charges and its nothing but just hoax linking her case with Muharraf. Missing person is also hoax and there is no evidence of Musharraf’s direct involvement in any case.

    You sounds like Talibans' mentality.... we call it extremism.. Yes, Muhsrraf represents the literate but silent majority of Moderates not feudal but this has nothing to do with secularism. We are Muslims alhamduallah and knows that Islam is a moderate religion and there is no place for extremism in Islam.
    We as a nation talk much and do nothing for any collective betterment. We cannot correct ourselves but enjoy criticizing others.

    I believe Musharraf was sincere about wanting a secular, moderate country free of extremism, and that he might have been the best person to restore democracy. But his tragedy was that he began to believe that the state was him and he was the state. All that he had achieved began to unravel when he dismissed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry and his fellow judges, perhaps because Musharraf feared an independent court would challenge his election as president. Lawyers took to the streets. Popular support drained away like blood from an open wound.

    Army morale is in trouble, Pakistan having lost many soldiers and gained few victories against extremists. Having been organized to fight India, the army knows it must retrain to fight an insurgency and gain the confidence of the people. It is willing to cooperate with the new civilian government. But both Sharif and Benazir Bhutto’s widower, Asif Ali Zadari, have long histories of corruption and the politics of personal gain.
