mush190 According to a report published in the Telegraph Pervez Musharraf is considering stepping down as the election results went against his expectations and the people of the country voted for the opposition parties.

I am not a supporter of military rule and want democracy to flourish in the country but in my opinion Pervez Musharraf has been the best ruler in the entire history of Pakistan.

Pervez Musharraf came to power when he dismissed the Nawaz Sharif government. The coup was widely welcomed by the people of the country and Mr. Musharraf was at the height of popularity in his initial three years. This was the time when he kept the politicians at bay and governed the country directly.

The Nawaz government which he dismissed was widely regarded as corrupt and inefficient. It was during the Nawaz government that his accountability chief Saifur Rehman registered numerous cases against Benazir Bhutto and her husband Asif Ali Zardari.

Pervez Musharraf is being accused of maligning the judiciary but it was during the Nawaz Sharif government that the Supreme Court was attacked by the leaders and thugs of the PML(N).

It was during the Nawaz Sharif government that military was sent to civilian institutions in large number. Chief examples are the Water and Power Development Authority and the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation.

Pervez Musharraf is being accused of making the parliament a rubber stamp. When Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister of the country even constitutional amendments were done in few minutes.

Pervez Musharraf is accused of suppressing the press freedom but it was during the Sharif government that newsprint quota of an Urdu newspaper Jung was denied.

Pervez Musharraf is also accused of a role in the missing person case which was being investigated by the Supreme Court. It was during the Sharif government that a large number of people was killed in Karachi in both Sharif and Benazir governments. Several persons went missing whose whereabouts have not been traced as yet.

I think that Mr. Pervez Musharraf should step down and  hand over the power to the so called leaders of the people. The people of the country have spoken very loudly that they do not need an honest man.
