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.
Now it all makes sense, why he is respected and should be believed :D
