He's considering asking American-Pakistanis to support Pakistan. Asking Americans to fund Pakistan is what Musharraf and Zardari did with kashkols.
Huzoor, President Pervez Musharraf did not beg another country for money but he made sure those who wanted to use Pakistan's land, air and the sea routes for the war effort paid for it. Every year, tens of thousands of shipments were made on trucks via Pakistan to Afghanistan in this regard.
During his rule, Pakistan's total external debt had increased from
$30 billion in 1999 to
$46 billion in 2008 - an increase of only $16 billion during his 9 year rule. However, from 2008-2013, Pakistan's external debt had increased from $46 billion to
$66 billion - an increase of around $20 billion in just 5 years.
Brother, at least do some educated research before making such vile allegations.
You will also remember that Pakistan under President Pervez Musharraf's rule was finally removed from the infamous "IMF Debt Trap" which Pakistan had landed into during the 1990s.
Not to bring up dead issues, but your glorious leader gave us the Kargil affair. Thank you, General.
President Pervez Musharraf has said that he's
proud of the Kargil Operation and so am I.
The enemy was taught such a befitting lesson that since then it has not dared to try another Siachin Glacier type adventure with Pakistan, despite the fact that there are 48 militaries deployed next door since 2001.
Further more, the enemy was stung so badly by Pakistan's nuclear deterrent in the 2002 stand off that it has never dared to rush their troops to Pakistan's border again and, the Mumbai incident is a good example of that.
Which of Pakistan's leaders has achieved such a conventional and nuclear deterrent against the enemy neighbour since independence?
Fair enough, when Pakistan sided with the Americans in 2001 Pakistan has ended up with the tribal rebellion which has caused severe loss of life to the nation but Pakistan had no choice at that time.
I wouldn't want to see Pakistan in a military confrontation with the Americans because the results will be pretty obvious. But had there been an alliance of Muslim nations that wanted to confront the Americans in 2001, Pakistani military would never had aided the Americans or anyone else against Afghanistan for that matter - but no Muslim country supported such a action - asks the Saudis, the Turks and the Indonesians why?
A true leader like Musharraf has still not spoken on Dr. Aafia's case.
President Pervez Musharraf has made it clear that
whoever has handed over Dr Afia Siddiqui to the Americans is a traitor so go and find that traitor and make sure to kill him.
I don't know why no one in Pakistan has bothered to ask the Americans to return her to Pakistan in the last 5 years! End of the day, nearly all of Pakistani prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay were returned to Pakistan with President Pervez Musharraf's clever diplomacy so why can't anyone else just bring one Muslim sister back home ???
That same leader ran off from Pakistan as soon as he left the Presidency. Ask him why he did that?
Brother, for your information at least note the following:
February 18, 2008: Democracy returned to Pakistan
March 25, 2008: Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani sworn in.
August 18, 2008: President Pervez Musharraf resigned.
September 9, 2008: President Asif Ali Zardari becomes President.
November 23, 2008: President Pervez Musharraf leaves Pakistan.
Now, where do you see President Pervez Musharraf running away from Pakistan in the above timeline? Was he captured from another country? Was he extradited from another country?
I sympathize with him in the current vendetta against him in the courts, but supporting these actions is something I can not stand.
President Pervez Musharraf does not require your sympathy. He expects Pakistanis to smarten up.
Bahi Jaaan, who shed tears for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on October 12, 1999 when he was toppled by President Pervez Musharraf? How many parties boycotted the
General Elections in 2002 which were held under General Pervez Musharraf?
