Re: Hamid Mir predicted Azadi and Inqilabi marches in 2013.
Yea, I saw the interview, but I do not know if you understood what Musharraf was saying.
What Musharraf was saying is that Musharraf was looking for PMLQ electoral alliance with other parties … itself shows that Musharraf 2002 election was not rigged, else Musharraf would not have cared for electoral alliances, neither his party would have been minority party and thus needed help of other parties (plus forward blocks in PPP) to form government.
In electoral alliance, parties withdraw their candidates in favour of their electoral alliance parties. So, what happens is that, parties get seats to contest election on basis of their standing, strength and possibility of how many seats they can win without alliance.
Musharraf political agents (at that time, ISI was under him) told Musharraf that PTI has supports in around 5 constituencies. So, Musharraf offered PTI 10 seats to contest election unopposed by alliance parties (something that was good concession). But PTI start demanding 100 seats. That means, to accept PTI demand, other parties who had much bigger support than PTI should be given none or much fewer seats, so Musharraf did not agreed, and thus alliance broke down.
That is all.
