Sharifs bomb cancer hospital - Bhutto stops IK from fundraising for a cancer hospital - April 1996

Guys, Musharraf may have been morally corrupt sure, but he was not financially corrupt. Did he break the constitution? Yes. Did he give NRO to criminals to save his seat? Yes. Did he roll over to US pressure? Sure.

But no billions stashed away unlike the Bhuttos and Sharifs. His govt was generally competent and all the economic indicators prove that. Disagree with him but be fair.

Musharraf’s cardinal sin was NRO.

He had a golden opportunity to resign and sign off on never letting Benazir/Sharif in no matter what. This move of his would be the stuff of legend but he capitulated.

I would rathed make a comparison with Bajwa. Yes, Musharraf was an angel compared to rascal Bajwa.

Literally history repeating itself.

Not only are these families incompetent, they are psychotics who hate their own people.

And yet people voted for them!

Mushy fooled you secular lot by singing praises of Ataturk, whereas he was just as corrupt and short sighted as the Sharif and Bhutto clans. Instead of bringing the wrath of God to them, he gave them NROs and to add insult to injury gave back tens of million of dollars back to Zardari, which his NAB had spent millions of people's precious money to trace.

You had to have been one callous, shameless and gutless individual to have signed off on the Swiss authorities giving Zardari back $60 mn that was traced to just one his Swiss accounts. And top of all of this, Mushy was the one responsible for massive expansion of plots giveaway to his fellow sepoys, giving them a taste of the good (corrupt) life.

Mushy's kemalist cultists chalk it up as a benign mistake, when in fact it was nothing less than a colossal betrayal and treachery on par with Yahya Khan's worst indignities. At best Mushy deserved hanging by his balls in a public square and at worst continued derision and condemnation, certainly not some ahistorical lamenting of what this supposed "benevolent" dictator should have done.

Sums up pretty well.

Most people are delusional about his corruption. In fact his corruption links up with the oil mafia and God knows how much wealth he took from Pakistan.

Also, He handed over karachi to MQM and they destroyed karachi to consolidate power. Musharraf was a really short-sighted General.

These new corrupt property generals are byproducts of his policy. But i hope this will be the last wave of corruption.
