Re: Another shoe for Mush.
Yaar, yea woh shear nahi hay jo Raiwand kee jharyeon ko her subha taang utha ker scent-mark kerta hay phir khush ho jaata hay lakin jab Insaan say wasta perta hay (Jaisay year 2000 may hua) tou dum daba kay bhaag jaata hay. Yea woh shear nahi jo jab Pakistan aata hay tou Kaan pakar ker Saudi-confinement may bhej diya jata hay.
Yea woh shear hay jiss kay baazu maidaan-e-Jang may aur jiss ka dil maafi-namo per dastakht kertay waqt azmaye huay hain. Yea woh shear hay jo agar apna takht choor bhie day tou ussay 6 lac Pakistani fauji Salami daytay hain aur koyie ussay jahaan baitha hou hilanay kee koshish bhie nahi karta.
Do you know that Musharraf was/is the only person in Pakistan who left power on his own free will, addressed the nation that he is leaving power before leaving power, is the only person who received farewell Guards-of-Honour from a million armed forces after leaving power, is the only person who kept staying in his residence after leaving power, and is the only person who was/is receiving official protocol as well as official security after leaving power (from 3 sources, Pakistan army, Pakistan government, as well as any country he visits)?
Apart of Musharraf, it is unfortunate that till to date, no person in Pakistan ever left power on their own free will, as all tried to stick to power what-maybe, and thus they were either deposed (thrown out of office) or killed (assassinated). For instance, to get people out of power, one politician (Liaquat Ali Khan) and one army general (Zia-ul-Haq) were assassinated. Many politicians and two army generals (Ayub Khan and Yahya Khan) were deposed. Since they were deposed, none ever addressed the nation about them leaving power. None out of power were given respect, security, protocol, or guards-of-honour after leaving power. All who were deposed, they were thrown out of their official residence same day without protocol or security.
As for Musharraf, he addressed the nation to tell that he decided to leave power, stayed in his official residence (for months) even after leaving power and only left official residence when he decided, received farewell guards-of-honour after leaving power, and was/is receiving official protocol as well as official security after leaving power (Normally, Pakistani character is that anyone out of power is as good as Sh*t … well, except Musharraf :)).
How surprising that even at the time he gave speech that he is leaving office, it was unexpected by many Pakistanis that he is leaving power, many did not even believed him and his speech, and many went sad that he has decided to leave power.
