Back Channel Efforts for Musharraf's Exit

Back Channel Efforts for Musharraf’s Exit

It has been decided that Musharraf won’t face impeachment and neither would he be tried in the court of law for the charges, which are part of the charge-sheet prepared by the PPP-PML-N coalition committee. Army doesn’t want to humiliate it’s former chief, and establishment doesn’t want to open a new can of worms. The coalition government also doesn’t want to go through the hassle of impeachment, and now Musharraf has also come to his senses and ready to call it quits.

Now just to save some face, General retired Musharraf, the absolute ruler of the previous almost nine years is putting up cosmetics stubbornness in the face of mounting pressure to resign. He is instructed to remain there until all the preparations of the impeachment get completed. While the time was gained for him in the form of four provincial assemblies passing resolutions in the favor of his impeachment and the preparation of draft charge sheet, Musharraf maintained the edifice of a lofty fighter.

Mark Lyall Grant, former British high commissioner in Pakistan and currently director general, Political Directorate, Foreign and Commonwealth Office is the man who has finally managed to strike a deal between the dictator and the coalition partners and he has even offered Musharraf to live in London while the sentiments against him cool down in the country.

Musharraf has accepted the offer, and he could also enjoy the company of Quaid in London.

Aashique of Musharraf Says:
August 16th, 2008
I am not Aashique of Musharraf by birth but our selfish, hypocrites and characterless politcians like Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Benazir, Zardari, Qazi Hussain, Imran Khan, Hameed Gul, Aitazaz Hussain, Khar and hundreds more alike has made me Aashique of Musharraf and believe me you will find millions and millions Pakistanis like me everywhere.

Don’t go to malicious propaganda campaigns run by electronic and print media against the President especially run by Geo, ARY, AAJ etc. Also don’t go on fabricated surveys.
General public in Pakistan still remembers the golden days of Pakistan pre March 2007.

Look an example of falsified survey that 70% of Pakistanis believed that Musharraf is the assasinator of BB but I have been to many places in Pakistan and it is very common and everyone from Taxi Drivers to the Business men I heard them saying that Zardari and MS Rehman were involved in the murder of BB and they soon going to get married.

Look at the difference between so called surveys and the general public opinion.
