Well , i agree that injustices were meted out to Banglese well before Ayub Khan.Even the dismissal of Khaja Nazim-ud-Din and assembaly by Ghulam Muhammad was the first blow to National Harmonery .But before Ayub Khan, Banglese for not thinking for a separate state.They were struggling only for there political rights with in the state.And GHulam Muhammad was not a politician , he was a bureaucrate who never participated in political process.If politics hade been allowed to take its route , situation would have been different.

As for as economy is concerned , Mushraff ruled for a decade and atleast till 2008 he was absolute ruler of Pakistan.Though the economy witnessed turnaround but it had no solid base.Few reasons,inter-alia, that contributed to economic recovery included
1- Scores of public sector entities were privatized generating billions of cash inflow
2-Global Economic Recovery
3-Inflow of foreign remitance and shifting of Capital from developed countries in the wake of 9/11.

Still the economy started declining during 2007. The dictator during his sway did nothing for the real issue that are crippling the econmy such as energy shortage.By saying so , i am not supporting the current dispensation as they have done little in this regard.But saying that Musharaf boosted economy and laid the roots of economic development is equally unfair.

Who is going to decide this that there was no solid base of that economy, i think that we are not the part of concerned departments and also we are not capable enough who actually analyse about the economic condition, the things were going in right direction that time it means those policies have strength to boost the economy, but as Mr. Musharraf moved out, the old less educated but i must say the illiterate people took place and they want things to go in their prescribed way and when those things failed, they used the old blame game and easily all the burden moved to Mr. Musharraf...i dont understand how things become bad in long term when they worked perfectly for around 4 or 5 years...

Yes, economy started declining in 2007, but that particular recession was witnessed globally so you cannot linked that with Mr. Musharraf's policy...
if you can recall, Kala Bagh Dam issue was very much in news that time but due to selfish people they didnt allow Mr. Musharraf to work on that project..and he was very much in favour of this project and if he acted that time as (so called)Dictator than no one can stop him from doing so but for the sake of Democracy he wanted that to be fulfill with the consent of Majority in assembly but unfortunately some of the people due to their biased approach they didnt let that happened, due to which we are facing this issue...

Pakistan was very slightly affected by recession because we were not dependent on our exports,which had very little share in our foreign reserves.
How could he make kalabagh at the expense of three provinces,atleast Pakistan is a federation.
our politician are illiterate and incompetent.i agree. however,Generals are nobody to set the rules for statecraft because they are graduated with a limited scope from PMA.He provided safe sanctuaries to the so called our strategic assets for gaining strategic depth in Afghanistan.

yes .. i agree what you have stated but tell me about the controversial character of zulfiqar .why he sided mujibb six points during ayub regime and opposed the during his reign.the same thing is with Tashkent declaration ;he used this weapon to overthrow the ayub regime but when he came to power the why he signed shimla declaration .he also did what ayub did and why he was not ready to solve the problem of bengla ? After debacle of bengla he remained for 7 year a ruler of Pakistan without election ..this is what we called democracy???


please explain your last point .yes you are right and i agreed to your first two points.but tell me , if we look back a few decades ago then privatization/denationalization policy is also followed in 1990s. but then our economic condition were not improved.

ZAB never supported Mujeeb Six point that amounted to turning Federation of Pakistan into confederation.Yes , during the crises , ZAB agreedv to 5 points and pledged to resolve differences over the reamining point.However , i wont comment further over it.Separation movement instigated during period of a General Ayub and reached its logical end in the period of second General but politicions are blamed for this.Pakistan Army inflicted inhumane punishments on Bangalese , People were killed, Women were raped but we are fort of Isalm.World is behind us.We are innocent.Politicion are corupt.Army, the ar,my of Islam Innocent.No further comments...

Saleeqa people have been deliberately kept in dark by those who control the affairs.Though the politicians are not angel , and they have lowest approval rate across the globe, given the nature of their job, the dictators who ruled the country for much of its existence , are responsible for majority of our woes. Terrorism , Militancy , extremism , Sectarian Violence and Provincial Disharmony are the evils exclusively germinated by Generals.But we can do nothing.I foresee another Military take-over in near future and i believe if it happened so, it would prove fatal for Pakistan.

Musharraf didnot provide solid base to the economy as he didnot do anything to industrialize the economy and increase country's gross production levels. He only brought foreign money in the country and it was distributed among the people in form of credits etc ... Now that the money he brought has been spent, we are back to old days . This is the simplest explanation that can be given.

The learned members who oppose democracy for being not practicable in Pakistan should also tell as to which system then suits well? Should Army Chief be ex-officio head of Govt? If not democracy than army is the only second option. But have you thought that if such system is adopted what consequences it would have? Is it practcable? For example if army chief hold the chair of head of Govt , what would be the succession arangements? Will he relinquish the charge untill he is forced to do?And what chaos would ensue in case an incumbent army chief cum head of Govt is forced to leave or he is died?Who will succeed him? What would happen if suppose an army chief after remaining in power for decade , passes away than who will appoint the new one?and what if a group of Generals have objection over it?

In perpetual Military Rule , how the political parties will be dealt with ? Obviously persecussion and repression will be the mode to silent the voices against the Govt?

And what would happen if a Gneral like yahaya Khan Came in to power? In Democracy at least people have option to get rid of the incompetent rulers after a definite period but how a General will be replaced?

Infact, Military still is ruling over the country and it has been since 1956. The miitary government sometimes is in covert or open. Now it is covert.
Truly speaking, Our religion emphasizes for Khilafat.
Do u call the current govt a democratic govt? LOL
