Dear friends,

He brought us real development, standard of living improved during his tenure, same you can see in Ayub and Zia's regimes, kindly read the economic outputs during the previous general's era, you will be shocked to see that each time a dictator ruled, he blessed the country with real development, but in the meantime they end up with blunders, and thankfully they feel it. Ayub and Yahya resigned, stubborn Zia killed, Mushraf resigned.

If they were right always, why they had resigned or killed, being the chiefs of army, they knew they are above the law and can rule us robustly, whats the hand behind those resignations?

I have always appreciated that they feel the guilt and resigned, unlike others.
