Re: What next for Pakistan?
Sad, once again for the people........
This has permanently confirmed my opinion that in Pakistan, ONLY military can make or break a Prime Minister....
I feel sorry for Nawaz Sharif-- a person who was having genuine intentions to improve relations with India.
** Why can't Pakistani people take on street like Nepal and show that it's people who will decide their fate -- not the military and America.**
No mass movement is expected to happen in Pakistan neither there is any chance in near future. It is not because Pakistanis are incapable of doing that, but the reason is that, most Pakistanis, silent majority as well as active one, are satisfied the way country is running and would never like to see corrupt politicians come to power again.
It is difficult to dislodge a military person in power. For a military person getting dislodged from power, there are three elements that need to work together. They are armed forces, elites that matters, and masses. Majority amongst all three are satisfied with President, though they may have some reservation about the political team with President.
It seems that President Musharraf with time is developing into a popular people’s leader, much popular then any people’s leader before.
Most Pakistanis have hope from him and believe that he can do things that no other person ever ruled or may rule Pakistan can do. For instance, if he desires, he has the capability, ability and means to take Jihadis, nationalists or corrupts to task, as he is bold and straight forward. He also has control over army as well as people's support.
He is also capable to work for the economical, social, and cultural development of the country more then any past political selfish rulers. On basis of records, one can expect good for the country from him then any past rulers.
