PAKISTANI LAWYERS

Re: PAKISTANI LAWYERS

Musharraf is such an easy target. I’ll give u that much. Its heck of a lot easier to defend the CJ. Mush supporters’, in real life or of the virtual variety, have a much harder task cuz they have to defend his economic policies, political agenda, his social policies etc etc. U can praise his economic policies and I’ll catch u for his political boo boos. For the CJP, I just have to post a list of what he’s done and thats that. So yeah.. I dont envy ur position :smiley:

As for Musharraf’s legacy, surely the economic turn around will be most prominent aspect of it. Credit where its due. His team did a better job at managing the economy than most of his predecessors, including Ayub so he’s achieved one target..that of surpassing one of his ideals.

That leads me to the second important part of his legacy. Political reforms. The record here is mixed at best. The devolution of power was a brilliant idea but the execution is horrible. To this day I cannot believe we can’t choose the nazim in through direct vote. There r also several objections to the over centralization of power through this system, which runs counter to the very objective of the whole exercise.

Coming to the political reform at the national level…well..the less said abt it, the better. I just came across this term today: Shaukat baba aur chalees chor :hehe:

Police reforms?
Judiciary reforms?
Health?
Madressah reforms?
Education. HEC. Brilliant move. 1000 times better than UGC.
Questionable work on intermediate level.

Thats the summary of Musharraf’s rule in my view.
