I totally disagree with your Mr Riaz Haq with all due respect. I really like your articles and also watched some of your videos but in my humble opinion it is the post-afghan war lift of sanctions which lead to economic growth in Pakistan. When Musharraf tookover the economy was still in shamble for the next 2 years and was on the verge of bankruptcy. It is the gift of USA which led to removal of sanctions and the package of economic aid lead to improvement in the worst economic circumstances of the history of Pakistan.
All US reimbursements were received by Zardari, Musharraf only received head money of US most wanted.
Even the 2005 earth quake collection of Pakistanis and Arab states was embezzled by Syed Yousaf Reza.
On one side we curse Musharraf for partnering US's WoT on other hand we say all economic recovery was due to lifting of sanctions? This is not fair.
While lifting of sanctions, earned US almost 4 billions in defence contracts purchase. If you want I can find you the link for it, but you cannot find a single source to prove any influx of capital from US.
Clearly lifting of sanctions helped US at least until 2006.
If you read Musharraf's book, he described all about his economic recovery magic there, but you have disagreement with it... right?
In the end, the OP is about the economic revival of Pakistan during Musharraf era aka dictator, do you agree or not?
actually due to rhetoric posts, I my self failed to read the OP and therefore
extend my apologize to Mr. Riaz Haq for being a contributor in pointless derailing... by replying troll posts.
Lets all of us read what is in the OP and than comment to the subject matter....
Hi,
Off course the Pakistani public and the Lawyers forum forced the issue.
Pakistani public - mislead by media and lifafa jurnos, corrupt CJ, Idiotic followers of Imran Khan and Jamat Islami and no one ever demanded explanation, who funded the whole extravagant bonanza.
