In Pakistan much People have badinage with democracy and it should be.They are utmostly against dictators and are specially against Musharraf.Every one is against Dictatorship because the future of every nation is in democracy.Upto some what i will defend Musharraf but not every gesture and feats of Musharraf.In Pakistan due to incessant army rule,it has become common to equate democracy with elections and political Parties.Pakistan were strong enough economically during Musharraf tenure.If you are thinking that there were deals of dollars with America so you are wrong Because the incumbent Gov is taking 4x (4 times more than Musharraf Regime) dollars in aids from various countries but neverthless our economy is drowning.When Musharraf had taken over,at that time the national treasure was bankrupt and Pakistan were drowned in loans of IMF and other countries.Musharraf not only abolished the loans of IMF but strengthen the economy too.Some champions of democracy are now adays apprising that the crisis in which we are now is due to Musharraf and He has harmed the system.I will tell you that when Musharraf was resigning there were many options with Mushi and his cronies were suggesting him not to resign and dissolve the assemblies.among his cronies one was Asfandyar Ali khan(Champion of democracy) but he did'nt and prelvailed resignation over dissolving assemblies because he was thinking that it will harm the system and the country,he naively resigned.Musharraf never prevailed self intreset over country interest.He has no account in swiss bank.He was a dictator but was ruling the country like a democratic leader because he had not established Marshal Law administrative Courts like other dictators.He did'nt hang Prime minister like the previous dictator(zia).There were not a sign of corruption .even people were not acquainted with the word corruption.The word corruption is installed in our minds by the so called democratic champions.Now i will come to those feudal Persons,which are claiming that we are the champions of democracy and they consider democracy as their fiefdom.1st in my list is Zulfiqar Ali butto.Which was the Proliferation of a dictator.Nawaz is also the product of a dictator.The Champion of democracy Benazir Butto had dealed with Musharraf through America that you will be the president and i will be the Prime Minister.so democracy gone where?The Nawaz sharif dealed with Musharraf through saudi Arabia that i will never come back to Pakistan but just leave me to go - democracy gone where?Erstwhile Chief justife Choudey Iftikhar was also great Fan of Musharraf,when he was in uniform.Ch.Iftikhar was poor attention seeker.He told to the President that you will invite me in all presedential functions (President was a dictator).He has demanded various precious BMWs from the President Personally.Maulana Fazlur Rahman had also asked President Musharraf that make me your Prime Minister and in this case he (Maulana Fazlur Rahman) has also talked with America but Maulana could not Pursuade Mushi for this.Mr Nawaz Sharif and Benazir had dealed with the Pakistani establishment through America that Army will not impose Martial Law upto three elections.it means after three elections (15 Years) .Army have free hand and they can impose Martial Law. - Democracy Gone where?. It is'nt democracy it is just a setup of reprisal from the nation.No democratic leader in his regime convened local elections at ground level but Musharraf did.still the Apex supreme Court is asking all the Provincial Governments to convene local elections but they are making lame excuses.Local elections strengthen the democracy but the so called champion of democracy have nothing to do with democracy.They just want to be in power.They all are dacoits.They equate democracy with elections and with Political Parties in Power.Which is not the definition of democracy.we are uproaring for democracy but we have'nt democratic leaders and democratic Parties.In Pakistan All major political Parties are run as Family dynasties rather than democractic institutions.Beside the issue of terrorism,There is deficiency of democractic leaders and Parties in Pakistan.if we have no democratic leaders and parties so then why are we looking for democracy?Why are we banditing our national treasure by the so called democratic leaders?They are coming in Power only for bankrupting our national treasure.So then Musharraf (Minus his few actions) was not better for us???? A question for you.....
