He is surely respectable and more trustworthy than most of Pakistani Journalists. His interview on 13th August, days before Musharraf resigned was given in Lahore, at a time when ‘murderer and gunda’ Shahbaz was Chief Minister of Punjab, PPP along with PMLN was ruling Islamabad, and corrupt Zardari found new love with maha-corrupt Khyanati Nawaz Liar, together were shouting like dogs and vultures against President.
Rehmat Shah Afridi spent long time in prison during Musharraf rule on cases that was started by Nawaz. Still, in interview Afridi accepted that lot of works were done for Pakistan by Musharraf, and only grievances or mistake Afridi found against Musharraf is that, Musharraf pardoned all these thug politicians, including Nawaz and Zardari, who are Leeches stuck to Pakistan so that the can suck blood of the country. Actually, in the end, Afridi showed expectation only from Musharraf, asking Musharraf even at that dire moment to move, withdraw NRO, and act against leeches in Islamabad and Lahore.
