Plea to Musharraf

Published February 20, 2010

ACCORDING to a press report, Pervez Musharaf told a think-tank in London that he was prepared to do anything for Pakistan. If he really wants to do something for Pakistan, I request him to return and serve the country for rest of his life.

This is because the country needs an Attaturk to develop it as envisioned by the Quaid-i-Azam. Present politicians have again failed miserably to protect the integrity of Pakistan and to solve problems faced by the people.

People want Musharraf because he is the best among them. He was honest and was also very close to resolving the Kashmir issue.
