Re: Pakistan Without Musharaf
*So if you can’t say the truth for diplomatic or other reasons just keep the mouth shut or sing the national anthem or something instead of spewing lies and deceptive statements. When he makes statements like this and everyone knows that it is a lie he makes a fool of himself and his nation. The scary part is if he truly believes in what he is saying then good luck with democratic reforms under his leadership, he is not even recognizing that we have an issue. *
I personally dont think that Pakistani govt is any less 'representative' than it was during the rule of nawaz or BB. But then would they go and say hey there are problems in our govt and we are not representative? They wouldn't. You dont know the reasons he said what he said right.
** Majority of the people are not seeing the affects of it their lives are the same as they were before him. **
quite untrue, depending on what you mean by effects on their lives. My relatives in Pakistan are very happy, they are satisfied with the overall law and order situation and the significant drop in mob violence that used to take place along ethnic lines. there is less ghunda agrdee in schools, more opportunities for young people. etc etc
** All civil departments are headed by military personnel retired or non-retired. All meetings and decisions are being monitored and influenced by the military. **
What is the big difference in civil dept being led by a retired military officer, or some career bureaucrat? if he can run it well. during civilian rule all civil depts were run by their pals, military or civilian. And the meetings and decisions were being monitored and influenced by the govt.
Personal Distaste… hmmm.. you could be right but I would like to think otherwise…. I don’t have any personal issue per say with him… I do give him credit for what he did in the past few years but where I have an issue with is him strengthening himself in the position that was supposed to be temporary and the lack of effort on his part to address the most critical aspect of him promise “Stable and sustainable political system to ensure that history does not repeat itself…”
Do you notice a change in what is facing Pakistan today and how he has steered Pakistan out of deep trouble and on to a right path, that if adhered to can bring much needed progress in Pakistan.
If he makes statements like these and he believes in them he is undermining the whole effort of moving towards stable and sustainable political system which if we had will never put Pakistan’s fate in one individual’s hands.
As I said before, a stable and sustainable Pakistan comes before a sustainable and stable political system, and he is doing a good job of that. Although I wish that he would do more in brining about a sustainable and stable political system, if it means that it diverts attention from the first point then it can be placed on the backburner, lets keep making progress even if it is slow.
