Achievements of President Musharraf and his Government

Pervez Musharraf’s Notes

Introduction: 

This document lists some of the achievements of the former President of Pakistan, General (Retd.) Pervez Musharraf. It is, probably the longest single statement of feats of  developments, repairs and enhancements in one of the “most difficult countries to govern” (Time Magazine).

• The Situation on 12th October 1999, when Mr. Musharraf took over was that Pakistan faced:
  • Economic bankruptcy.
  • International isolation.
  • The Country was referred to as a ‘failed state’.
  • Political instability and chequered political history of previous governments. Opposition never allowed an elected government to complete term and derailed the process / institutions.

Blackmailers and Biased – Our Notorious Journalists!

(C) Our Leader – Musharraf

Our famous manipulators and distorters of truth; who have best abused the freedom of media to achieve their personal agendas and selling themselves off to the highest bidder – Yes, our suited booted prejudiced story tellers – Media anchors & News commentators!

These News & Views analysts, who never left any opportunity to slander and smear President Musharraf and his policies, are now falling left and right to lucrative offers by PPP government. Their useless, baseless and distorted lies are now being paid off rewardingly. Their revealing blackmailing personalities should serve as an eye-opener for our deaf & dumb public – who vastly followed their deception programs. These pundits have always served as spokesperson for our shady politicians, thus largely misleading the public!

17 May 2009 – FAREED ZAKARIA, HOST, GLOBAL PUBLIC SQUARE: This is GPS, the GLOBAL PUBLIC SQUARE. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around the world. I’m Fareed Zakaria. If Pakistan and Afghanistan are the biggest global stories of the moment, the man who can shed the most light on them is surely Pervez Musharraf, who was Pakistan’s president for almost a decade until just last year. He is my guest today for the hour.

ZAKARIA: Joining me now is President Pervez Musharraf. Welcome, sir.

PERVEZ MUSHARRAF, FORMER PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN: Thank you.

ZAKARIA: Well, a lot of people watch what’s happening in Pakistan and ask, why is this happening in Pakistan? Why does Pakistan seem to be filled with these radical elements, extremist movements, Taliban, elements of al Qaeda? Ten years and $10 billion later, it appears they are stronger.

But why has it not been successful? Let’s just take what the end result is. You have the Swat Valley overrun by Taliban.

MUSHARRAF: Why is it not succeeding? Because of Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, more than 50 percent of Afghanistan is under Taliban control. Why are U.S. forces and coalition forces not — if you succeed in Afghanistan, all of this will be over.

Musharraf interviewed by SPIEGEL

In a SPIEGEL interview, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, 65, discusses the dramatic  situation in Pakistan, where army troops are fighting Islamist extremists in the Swat Valley, his people’s ambivalent relationship with the United States and his country’s failures in combating the Taliban.

SPIEGEL: Mr. Musharraf, there’s a bon mot that states that ruling Pakistan is like riding a tiger. You were in power for nine years. Are you bored now?

Musharraf: I recently was in Saudi Arabia, China and London giving lectures. I have engaged the famous Walker Agency …

SPIEGEL: … which Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Gerhard Schröder all work with …

Musharraf: … In Prague, I am giving a lecture on leadership in front of high-level managers at a company which owns Pizza Hut and KFC.

SPIEGEL: Pakistan is in a major state of crisis. Close to 2.5 million people have fled the areas of fighting in the northwest and the Swat Valley. There are attacks almost daily. Is Pakistan on the verge of collapse?

Musharraf: This is wrong. Nothing can happen to Pakistan as long as the armed forces are intact and strong. Anyone who wants to weaken and destabilize Pakistan just has to weaken the army and our intelligence service, ISI, and this is what is happening these days. Lots of articles have been written claiming that Pakistan will be divided, that it will fall apart or become Balkanized. I personally feel there is some kind of conspiracy going on with the goal of weakening our nation.

Musharraf with Russia Today

One of the most prominent problems of the world is terrorism. RT spoke to a man who is no stranger to the “War on Terror”, ex-president of Pakistan and a man who ruled the country for nine years, Mr. Pervez Musharraf.

RT: To your opinion, what is the role of Russia in the “War on Terror”, and, specifically, in the region of Afghanistan?

Pervez Musharraf: Yes, Russia has been very familiar with the region, and therefore it must have a very positive effective role in stabilizing Afghanistan. What we need to develop in Afghanistan is a homegrown political system which keeps the integrity of Afghanistan intact.

Musharraf with ‘Frost over the World’

View Video of Musharraf’s Interview 

Read full interview below:

Frost: Hello, and welcome to Frost Over the World. Today, in an exclusive interview, we are speaking to the man who ruled Pakistan for almost a decade. Former president Musharraf is with us here in the studio, now. Later we’ll hear about the South African elections, and ask why it is that the Somali pirates appear to be so successful, and untouchable. But first, it was a miitary coup in 1999 which brought General Musharraf, the head of the Pakistan army, to power. You remained in charge for almost ten years. And during that time Pakistan changed quite a lot. Most notably perhaps it became a focal point for the US war on terror, declared after 9/11. President Musharraf fell from power in August last year when in a rare — indeed what became a very rare — show of unity, opposing political parties worked together to oust him. In the end he resigned, and is here now. Thank you for being with us.

Musharraf: My pleasure.

Frost: Tell me, uhm what are your feelings today; as you look at the current state of your homeland, of Pakistan. I mean, uhm, what are your emotions, as you see the situation now?

Musharraf: Very sad, I feel sad, and… [pause] despondent, at whatever is happening; because, Pakistan is suffering.
