Its pay back time!! - Musharraf under the guillotine

Ex-President Parvez Musharraf made too many mistakes while he reigned over Pakistan. He used his power to the max when he dismissed judges who were against him. This act of his lead to his accelerated downfall. This dismissal coupled with the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was what lead to a steep fall in Musharraf's popularity. He was never in the good books of the Pakistanis. He was an ally of the US and was literally a puppet in their hands. He followed all that the US asked him to do and the US in return gave him protection, support and military power. Pakistan has a whole fleet of the very techincally advanced F-16's, while the Americans gave the Indians Sukhoy's and Mig's which are almost on the same level but not as good as the F-16's.

Musharraf tried his level best to not let democracy come into pakistan. He wanted to hold complete control over it by being both the president and also the army general, two of the most powerful positions. He tried all means but the unrest grew to such a level that he had to concede. He risked jeopardizing the whole of Pakistan. Hats off to the courage and determination of the people of Pakistan. They have finally succeeded in ousting Musharraf and restore democracy. It was a costly risk the opposition party took in which process a very dynamic and charismatic leader Benazir Bhutto had to die. Her soul will now rest in peace. Atleast all the efforts that she put into, the solid foundations that she laid and everything she ever dreamt of is finally materialising, although she would have loved to be here in person.

Musharraff is now in such a state that he is literally having to cajole the high powers. He is saying all kinds of nice things to try and gain some favour. He still hold the position of the Army General, the new government formed by the PPP with the PML-N lead by Nawaz Shariff as its ally have nominated Yusuf Raza Gillani for the PM candidate and once he comes into power, he vows to reinstate all the judges whom Musharraf had dismissed when he declared emergency in Pakistan. If these judges are reinstated Musharraf is in for some very harsh treatment. These judges will definitely raise a lot of charges against him for which Musharraf is sure to get convicted and might as well be imprisoned.

Pakistan has sure won a victory of sorts. Now it can avenge all the illtreatment that it had to go through when under Musharraf. The ball is now in the new domocratic Pakistan's court and Musharraf is now on the receiving side. His days are numbered.

Got to see what will happen to Musharraf now....
