Re: Whom do you think was the best ruler of Pakistan, yet.
I can really understand why you feel that Musharaf’s rule was good as i can agree with all of those points except the 17% poverty under his rule. That is a total lie. You could also add that:-
We are in such a bad state because of the global recession and not necessarily because of Zardari’s policies. The price of goods for example started to increase under Musharaf’s rule. The only thing that actually became cheaper was technology but you cannot eat internet packages and dvd players can you?
All the progress in Karachi was destroyed because of Musharaf and his ego. May 12 is something that Musharaf needs to answer for. It was clear that the terrorist MQM had used Mush’s rule to bolster their power. The Government has very little control over Karachi even today.
The killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti alienated the Baloch and most Baloch I know want total indepenence. Musharaf needs to be put on trial for this.
Militancy in Khyber pakhtunkhwa and the adjoining tribal areas grew and were allowed to fester under Musaraf but he was more interested in persecuting liberals, lawyers who opposed his sacking of the CJ.
Musharaf consolidated the sale of Pakistan to the US-led West.
Mushraf decided to make deals with the same corrupt thieves rather than start a fresh.
The death of Benazir, the most high profile loss under the War of Terror happened under his rule.
OBL managed to get across the border and into Abbottabad most likely under Musharaf’s rule.
He did have quite good policies from 1999-2006 as Pakistan did improve under him in many ways. At the same the rot started under him too and he was more interested in keeping power than saving the country.
2007 has been the worst year for Pakistan since in its brief history.
Yes, Mushi uncle is the responsible for bringing Pakistan in line of the fire. He came to rectify errors of the corrupts and left after making deals with the same. He gave us the slogan ‘Sab se pehle Pakistan’ and now we know it was all about exploiting Pakistan first.
