There are three reasons there is no time to write the news of the death of General Pervez Musharraf.One, modern life support can make a person walk long even after many organs may fail.Two, he is no longer a problem in his country and for neighbors he tortured almost 15 years ago, so you might ask if he is still important.
And three, because people who are truly evil, dictators, and especially dictators in uniforms, never really die. They left the inheritance of destruction and malice that could not be decomposed.For how eternally the impact is, see permanent damage that has been done by Zia-ul-Haq against Pakistan. He not only shifted and killed a chosen leader (Zulfikar Ali Bhutto), he also put the foundation of the mindset of jihad.
Even today, the dominant drive in Pakistani’s popular politics can be described as ‘Ziaism’. This is not good at all for Pakistan, and worse for his neighbor who is not friends like India and for very large friends like the US. Thanks to its protection against Islamists who are facing and jihad that can be exported that the economy and the people of Pakistan are in ruins today.
Zia planted a poison tree and maintained it, and the Musharraf thought he would harvest the harvest and become a hero in the history of his people. He ended, on the contrary, zero, a convict for a high betrayal for destroying the constitution, sentenced death by the court and only suspended then technical. A higher court states that it is inappropriate under Islamic law to try a man absent. Of course, he was absent from the trial because the Almighty army had become an intermediary for exile. His life is now being reduced to be a chatter occasionally on Twitter or posting a picture of him in the livery of inpatients in several Dubai Hospitals.
In the last four decades, Musharraf is a significant Pakistani leader that I cannot formally interview. To be honest, I never asked for it. However, we do some public conversations individually and in groups. He is one of the most futile leaders and at least intellectually.
The coup he staged in the fall of 1999 was easy. There was no military coup in Pakistan that failed first, called the Rawalpindi conspiracy in 1951, most likely because it was led by the left, including the poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz. For the head of Pakistan who serves, takes over the power as simple as sending boys from 111 brigades to the elected leader’s house and collects keys. The important thing, which is the center of heritage, is what leads to there.
That year had begun by riding a multi -storey bus Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Lahore in February, the signing of the Lahore Declaration which indicated the disbursement. A dramatic disbursement that Vajpayee walked up the Minar-e-Pakistan stairs, a kind of equivalent Indian gate, and said that a stable and prosperous Pakistan was the best Indian interest. That’s when the Musharraf as the head of the Army planned a cargil, precisely to menorpedo this process.
