Today, even the most prominent of media and journalist, have not only started to acknowledge this great economic achievement, but also started quoting these statistics to compare President Musharraf’s tenure with earlier and present tenures.
The Problem is, Pakistanis are a Philosophiclly Corrupt, Characterless and crazy people. Unless its a lot hot air and false propaganda, it sounds like they are against him because of either his Ethnicity or because they are Mollaas or because they are Mentally retarded.
Actions of Pakistanis seem like they are a nation of Mentally imbalnced people, full of hate and bigotry against each other, the West and USA. If all this doesn’t change, I have no hope left for Pakistan and a time may come, when it could dis-intergrate in to half a dozen countries.

President Musharraf picked Shaukat Aziz and persuaded him to leave his lucrative job (he was considered a possible successor to CEO Sandy Weil at Citibank) to guide Pakistan’s economy. So Musharraf deserves credit for bringing Sahukat on board and for giving him a free hand and backing him up. While disagreements on policy are understandable and can be debated in a serious manner, it is the attacks on Mr. Aziz’s personal integrity and patriotism that are particularly deplorable. In a sea of mediocrity in Pakistani political leadership, military and bureaucracy, the need for smart expats like Shaukat Aziz is particularly acute. Such attacks are likely to have a chilling effect on any Pakistani expats in the West thinking about returning to Pakistan to serve their country.

Im taking the liberty to use these figures in reply to the accusations put forward by musharraf critics.We are going downhill without brakes at breakneck speed. WHEN and who will be the saviour of this nation??Your efforts are greatly appreciated by us novices who dont know much.regards and all the best .

so today all that musharraf did went to naught because we wanted democracy even if that zardari. I say sham to democracy and invite all to rethink our destiny.

I agree with turkman completely. Pakistanis are full of hatred against each other, against the west though they would have sold one arm and leg to be there, and anything which they may not agree. A nation full of intolerant people will not go far in today’s world. That day is not far when Pakistan may be divided into several smaller states as envisaged by US Army in their journal.

Your courrage is highly appreciable in bringing the record straight. Time has proven and still wil continue so that we are loosing day by day in PPP’s SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC RULE in all spheres of our national socio-economic life. It is bad luck for us as a nation that we don’t understand and honour our true leaders.

There is no doubt musharraf has served pakistan’s economy in excellent manner but still i think thats his unemocratic way of rule which throwed him in the way of dark. In the way where in last was a wall and there was message in that wall “ITS FINISH”
over all musharraf was good enough to say
“JIYE MUSHARRAF”

Actually, Mr.Musharraf is NOT the Real Hero. It’s Mr.Shaukat Aziz Who Raised the Economy Of Pakistan To the Sky.

@ above
who select and brought shaukat aziz to pakistan? to work according to his vision. whether Mr Aziz came by himself ? or called for someone ? it means the person who care to improve economy has credit of vision and yes shaukat aziz has credit to work in line with general pervaiz musharraf vision, we have regard for both shaukat aziz and gneral musharraf

By: Yahya .. on 25 March, 2009

I too believe that Musharf was a true leader, Musharaf served his whole life in the Army protecting the borders from inside and outside.
And when nation needed he also leaded Pakistan as leader. And did a great job.
What political leaders have done for its country, Musharaf had a vision on “Pakistan First”, i know he can give life die for this country. In 1965 war, in 1971 war he served with bravery, and than leaded Pakistan from 1999 to 2007.
I hope he can come back.

in my view musharraf done great job for pakistan and the people of pakistan that is why we are all missing him very much and pray to god that allah send him back in power to protect pakistan.
I LOVE U SIR AND MISS U .

A nation which is negatively politicized by our politicians and media can never understand that how much worthful was president Musharraff for us. We have sopiled one of courageous, generous and a leader who had a braoder and far-seeking vision.
Dear Musharraf, you are also my teacher and i learnt alot from you. They way you speak, the words you use and your logical thinking remained always source of learning for me.
God Bless you and my prayers are always for you.

Short Term Memory:
we forgot nawaz sharif did not allow a Govt airline Plane to land just becoz country’s CNC was in there, and a lot of other people as well,
WITH ANY REASON BEHIND, WAS IT WORTH TO DO,, BEING AT THE MOST RESPONSIBLE POSITION IN THE STATE? we forgot was there any mussarat shaheen, and who was she?
we also forgot that Mr. Zardari is a high school highly qualified, and has been accused being involved in a large no. of fraud cases as well as sex scandals,
We always forget in polls that we ourselves rejected the particular party in previous elections bcoz of record corruption till date and an increase in poverty rate and inflation, and country’s liabilities,
I LOVE MUSHARRAF BECAUSE I FIND HIM MORE SENSIBLE , MORE EDUCATED, MORE SINCERE, AND BETTER HUMAN BEING THAN A LOT OF FRONT LINE POLITICIANS IN PAKISTAN,

Its the reality that pakistanis does not accept modern innovations due to their social and religious set up, which is going on since the time of partition, it can only be changed by increasing litracy rate. i think illitracy is the main obstacle in the way of such progress.

Musharaff…
well he revoultionised the pakistani economy….
but decided to go to war…which doesnt help growth…he attacked a mosque in Islamabad…which was the most stupid thing he possibly could have done.

The Silent majority of Pakistan still feel that these idiots who are in power today cannot bring any positive change in the country. But this Silent majority remained SILENT even when these dirty politicians were running campaigns against Mr. Musharraf. The only light that we can see today is that if this Silent majority stands up today and give a shut up call to all these politicians, then we can make this country a HEaven on Earth again.
Mr. Musharraf, We Love you but we are too shy of expressing our feelings!

Musharraf indeed took our economy to a whole new level. But then again, it’s our fault that we let him go. We’ve been silent for too long. It’s time we bring about a postive change

Ex-President Musharraf did well during his tenure but the biggest mistake he made was not to punish the corrupt and he did not bother to touch the Vaderas and Landlords Why did he let go Nawaz Sharif, Zardari and Choudries who minted public money and put the funds outside Pakistan in their bank account. If he comes back to PAKISTAN AND GETS THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN HE GOT TO PUNISH THEM ALL AND GET THE PUBLIC MONEY BACK TO PAKISTANI PEOPLE. ALL THOSE FUNDS ARE PROPERTY OF THE COUNTRY.

Dear Anonymous,
NRO did NOT elect in the corrupt politicians. These corrupt politicians were VOTED to power in 2008 Feb elections. NRO was power to the Parliament and not personalities. Kindly read the NRO ordinance and judge neutrally.

I like Former President of Pakistan General(R) Pervaiz Musharraf due to his best services for our beloved country, and he devote his best efforts only for Pakistan, and during his ruling period the economy of the Pakistan was so strong and having export in $19.22 Billion 2008, and during his 8 years period the debt just increase $1.5billion, now again we need him, he should Pakistan and serve his country.
I love Pakistan
I love Pervaiz Musharraf.

I personal like and would like to see you again in power. But you have to promise by GOD you will provide the justice to all corrupt politicians (NO DEAL) and bring all Pakistani money back by any means ASAP. Give them open punishment.
Law has to change no politicians allow to involve in political, if they are out of country by any means and politicians need to be educated and they are money should be in Pakistan in order to run the election. Only two terms than go home.
I need to make sure someone can more serious with and increase the founding’s in the EDUCATION, HEALTH, INDUSTRIES and GAMES area.
Deliver Justices to everyone sooner than later, make a media free and nationalist, and refer dam on every critical issues and any major decisions which will effect to my Pakistan(no one men show). Landlord system and family politics has to end.
Please do not involve youngsters or students into politics they have to go college and universities to become a good educated person for future of Pakistan.
They are our future please do not use them but make them better person for Pakistan. I believe this is the only way we can be a GREAT NATION. Thanks
