Musharraf’s little foibles




In his recent interview with CNN-IBN, Musharaff has said, "I am reasonably sure that army coup will not take place but my support always remains with the Army. I've been an army man and I can never imagine myself to be against the Army. I am with the Army, I will stand by the Army".
The dictator is all for a coup in the country only to serve his ends.
According to 18th Amendment whereby Article 6 of the Constitution has been amended, reads :-In the Constitution, in Article 6, (i)for clause (1), the following shall be substituted, namely: "(1) Any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or holds in abeyance, or attempts or conspires to abrogate or subvert or suspend or hold in abeyance, the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason.”
Is it not enough evidence to arrest him on the charges of high treason as he is enticing Army to make a coup. Is he not stepping beyond his limits. Has he not dishonoured and betrayed the oath he had taken at the start of his service? How can he be a saviour for poor masses of Pakistan who had ordered mass scale slaughter of innocent Pakistanis? Is he not responsible for unrest in Balochistan? Has he not played double game with America on war on terror that caused his ouster from the country? His secret treaties with US have taken lives of countless people in KPK. His abject attitude towards judiciary is a one major scar mark of his ill-governed period. Yet he calls his period as golden age of Pakistan.
