Re: Modi an enemy of Pakistan and Muslims: Musharraf

The bravado increases couple by couple of marks when not in power, but are you honestly suggesting that Musharraf as a COAS slash Head of State would have adopted that cowardly silence of Nawaz Sharif if India was firing into Pakistan’s border for three weeks? Really? I am no Musharraf fan, in fact I hated him and I still hold him responsible for many of the serious problems faced by Pakistan today (namely Nawaz Sharif and Zardari), but there is no way that he as a military head would not have condemned Indian aggression of this intensity. Gen. Raheel has issued strong statements, Mushy would’ve done the same. Where is the brave and popularly elected champion of democracy buffoon and his leadership? So I really don’t think misplaced criticism of Musharraf is a good idea to suggest that whatever Nawaz is doing (or not doing) is normal.

Nawaz Sharif is really on the mission to prove that whatever the narrative is there to make him look like a thoroughly insincere, incompetent and insensitive pillock is absolutely true.

How sad is the situation that a defamed dictator is gaining the public goodwill against this democratically elected Prime Minister. Shame on him for digging is own grave.

What people forget is that skirmishes on the LoC between the two have been going on between the two for decades since 1990s, probably even before. The people that live along the LoC can attest to that. Also LoC is not an international border (not what India would have you believe). After the border standoff in 2002, a ceasefire was negotiated on LoC between the two countries in 2003 (yes the dictator Musharraf’s times) and it had been in place by and large until 2013(4).

The minor bombing and firing still took place here and there but what we are seeing this time around in 2014 is the biggest bout of fighting in the last 10 years. This is by no means an ordinary skirmish on the LoC. Does it require any statement from the elected gubberment also?, you bet it does. The point being, one should not just shrug it off by saying “oh well it happened when Mushy was a ruler too, why didnt he do anything about it back then”.

Here is an article from 2003.
