yeah he is right because its linked to nawaz's personal vendetta!

Lets start with trial of Nawaz bratharan for corruption and 1.5 billion dollar properties abroad. After the result if they are fit to be PM than they can try Musharaf. PML-N, looter and anti pakistan party.

Musharraf is not being tried for any offence as a civilian or politician , he is being tried for an action in 2007 as the COAS stop confusing the nation Ahsan Iqbal

So 45 years in the Army don't count? Fighting 2 wars for this country don't count? Decorated for bravery don't count? Getting promoted to a COAS don't count? Getting the country rid of a corrupt, callous politician and his cabal don't count? Implicating a hero in false treason charges, while negotiating with extremists don't count?

Here comes another professional lair & election rigger of N League

This is nothing new. Everyone knows that the number one reason for the hatred shown towards Musharraf by PML-N members and others day after day after day is personal. Otherwise, why are they not critical of Zia-ul-Haq's takeover of the country?

This trial is not of the "politician" Musharaf, but the "soldier" General Musharaf who has been indicted of declaring "emergency" in the capacity of the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan Army. Ahsan Iqbal will do better not to confuse the people by issuing such statements.

and what good is a devalued dollar for the nation. when the prices of commodities are still sky high, there are absolutely no jobs for the youth, your parchee is running everywhere, you still have incompetent favorites running the govt. depts and organizations. what good is a devalued dollar to a common man whose total income is less than 10,000 rs and has to feed 6 to 7 mouths? the only good a devalued dollar is for the corrupt leaders who are buying it in bulk through their pet banker!

What about "administration of justice upon which no compromise can be made" to people's right to a free and fair election!

@Munir Varraich: We ourselves are so confused and have so much spare time to listen to these jokes from the jokers of the century. These very people brought the country to the brink of disaster twice. These jokers do drama well infront of illeterate masses and that is the reason they are reining in the governancy of a troubled pakistan again..

Another day, another lie and another liar. PML-N's obsession with Musharraf is not a secret. What is interesting is the timing of this and the relation Minister of planning & Development has with the Musharraf case. Would it not be reasonable to try Zia and everybody who was with him for the same reason?. PMLN can not fool all Pakistanis all the time.

Like others, he has to show loyalty to the boss, to avail honeymoon tenure of govt. smoothly.

Ahsan Iqbal is one of the few educated politicians. He must be careful in making nonsensical statements, such as this one. He is part of Nawaz's government, but he will be better off keeping his mouth shut so that he is not on the fools' list.

President Musharaf's trial is a result of, Nawaz's personal vendetta and Nawaz Leaugue's collective hatred towards our armed forces. Nawaz League has to stop its draconian attitude and learn to respect the institution that is the defender of the country and its constitution.

How can calling an ex-general, an ex- army chief a traitor not effect the prestige of Army. The railway minister in particular should publicly apologize for cheaply insulting an sx- army chief. In the name of democracy they are bent upon taking revenge of what happened to them

He said it from core of his heart... Musharaf is being tried for person vendetta... People are being killed day in and day out and this govt is not bothered... They are only bothered about their family, friends, business partners and metro bus and punjab.... Rest of the country is not their cup of tea...

Nawaz and his cronies are liars. Sitting near Holy Kabah Nawaz was telling lies that he did not sign any deed with Musharraf Govt. His Finance Minister is fudging economic data and telling the nation that country's economy has improved. He forced the independent State Bank Governor to resign on his refusal to bring down dollar rate to 98. Now his hand picked Governor is ready to do any thing and perhaps start printing dollars if instructed.

Why are they scared now and making excuses, why cant they say yes, we want to bring military under civilian rule?

Who are you kidding man? Do you think people are fool, they don't see what's going on? Yes, this is Nawaz and his family's Personal Revenge against The Best Army General and President Pakistan ever had.

PML-N is changing tack! PML-N tried to malign army through the 'singing' of Khawaja's, didn't work. Now it is the 'poetry' of Iqbal, this won't work as well. And it will be the crass language of honorable nephew Abid Syed. Finally, it will be the 'crying call to KSA' from Raiwand. Which ever way you look at it, this is an attempt to malign the army ala Tayyeb Erdogan of Turkey or Morsi of Egypt. Oh and just a reminder very close to the home, Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan circa 1999!

What an explanation ! Musharraf imposed emergency as COAS and still it has nothing to do with Army that's amazing

It would appear that Mussharaf & co had arranged to have comments sent under various names.The Commando does not have so many followers as the number of persons who have supposedly sent in their comments. I think we should , by all means, try Nawaz for corruption but under the law of the land the commando must go through the process. These are two separate matters. As is said that the case is a vendetta. But vendetta for what? Is it because of what was done to Nawaz? If so, why did the commando do it in his time?

@MSA: I have respect for Ahsan Iqbal and trust he will not compromise his integrity in the interest of political expediancy. The matter need to be viewed within the following context. 1. Mushraff is presumed to be innocent unless proven guilty under competent jurisdiction only after the court of Law consisting of full bench of impartial and qualified jurist after the application of the due process under the framework of universally recognized legal principal of dispensing fair and equatable justice. 2. The statue underwich all edged charges are brought must be material, relevant and in effect at the time when the alleged commissioning of the crime actually took place. 3. When a charge involved capital punishment then full bench consistent of impartial judges must ensure the integrity of trial and protect the best interest of the justice and guarantee fair and impartial trial. Without establishing Locus Standi and including all those who are party to or material to the trial should and must be made party to the trial. 4. The trial if subjected to due process must be based on material and relevant facts while upholding the standard of justice and fairness including establishing the standard to establish gult beyond reasonable dought. 4. Any member of the bench (individual or collectively) does not respect and protect the integrity of the court or his her position and are duly competent and have the will to enforce basic principal compromise their ability to dispense justice and must recuse them self. 5. Indictment does not equate guilt, only the court of Law competent of judges of impecable integrity to ensure the fair and transparent trial can dispose final judgement.

If Musharraf can hang in there, he can bring changes, to Pakistani system. They can not harm him any more than what they have already done to him.

Justice for all. Rules are there in place and follow those rules. Our country has tremendous potential and talent is there.need to have responsibility and accountability

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, Did anybody ever tell you: "Pehle Socho, Phir Samjho, Phir Tolo aur Phir Bolo"

This is more than personnel. NS should be trialed for not allowing the airplan to land.

I never expected this statement from a person like Mr. Ahsan Iqbal. Please for God sake do not linger on this case. Try to close this chapter as soon as possible. This will be good for the country and more for PML-N; do not try to imitate other example. There is lot of difference in yours governess and their's. So, please concentrate on running the affairs properly rather than getting involved in this trial.

Mr. Minister- did you not hear the speech made in the assembly by your Defense Minister? was he talking about civilian Musharraf or the institution of the armed forces........... shame on you all.

@saeed: Military is and should be under civil rule. And this is the practice in every decent and civilised country.

Stop this false propaganda & can not make fool to Pakistani people & its armed forces. Time has come & very soon all of U will be punished

People of Pakistan are most unfortunate in the World.They are the best people in every respect but ruled by worst people on earth.And you can not get better example than this Minister.

@Shahpur: I agree with your comment. They can't do much more to Musharraf than they have already done. Musharraf will come back, and these clowns will disappear. My advice to Musharraf at that time will be to load up all the present politicians on B-52's and drop them off over Kagan valley jungles. From that day on, nobody will see them again, and they will not see anybody ever. I believe Pakistani's will live in peace from thereon.

It is my sincere advise and rewuest to PML.N govt.to concentrate on the more important and urgent issues of the country,people,education power and poverty being faced by the masses rather than wasting time on mud slunging on the past rulers.

Its high time now that PML-N to start concentrating on the basic and urgnt issues facing Pakistan rather than gaining time in wasting on Past rulers or governments to complete their 05 year tenure. Can any one name any better things done by these so cslled democratic leaders, in comparision to F, M Ayub Khan or GENL. Mussharraf?? Please take care of Pakistan rather than building uour empires abroad.Build and invest in Pakistan.

Mr Ahsan Iqbal must not forget, that Musharraf was chief of armed forces, and presented his own life in the line of fire for us, including Ahsan Iqbal and his kids. Does Mr Iqbal have same guts? Obviously not. Also, Musharraf will remain an army man for life no matter how much you deny. More you deny that fact bigger fool you look.

@Zak: well said .
