Musharraf says he braved extreme pressure
ISLAMABAD: President Pervez Musharraf said on Sunday that he and his family have kept up their spirits despite extreme pressure in the last few months.

In an interview with Geo TV, the president said the democratic system is essential to make progress and there should be a mechanism to implement policies for the welfare and betterment of the masses.

Replying to a question, as to how he would like to be remembered as president, he said, "I shall be remembered by the people as a person who has cared for the country, for the people and worked honestly and diligently for them."

Replying to a question on how the people should remember him as a person, the president said, "A very frank, straightforward, honest and practical person." He said Pakistan has the potential and desire to make progress and achieve prosperity but there is a need to have good governance and dedication.

Referring to the qualities of a good society, the president said, "We should have an open society where everyone can discuss matters and exchange views freely." Regarding any regret, the president said God has given him a lot and beyond his expectations. "I never worked and influenced anyone for my promotion," he added.

The president said decision-making is also a very important element in the government, as the leader has to analyse things and receive suggestions before taking a final decision. He said the guts, feelings, impulse and sixth sense played an important role in decision making. The president said there has never been a "dull moment" during the last eight years of his life.

The president said he was a very open person who discussed things with his colleagues and his family members, who always extend support to him in taking the decisions. President Musharraf praised his mother who he said, always helped and guided him for a successful life. He said his father was a very honest and faithful person and loyal to the country.

The president said he has very friendly relations with his children and grandchildren. "They are also very supportive of me in all my decisions." Regarding relations with children, the president said, "One should be very friendly with them, guide them and train them to stand on their feet."

He said the intellectual development of children should be the number one priority for the parents. He said unless women are emancipated and educated in Pakistan, they cannot play their role in the society and for the progress and prosperity of the country. "If we have to improve qualitatively, women have to be empowered, educated and trained."

Recalling some unfortunate incidents of the past, he said some organisations tried to malign him on the issues of Mukhtaran Mai and Dr Shazia. He said Pakistanis were a determined nation and every citizen should be confident of being a Pakistani. He said every Pakistani should work together to protect the prestige and respect of the country.

According to preliminary reports, one group of lawyers assembled at the City Courts at 2pm to protest against the manhandling of former Sindh chief minister Arbab Rahim and former minister Sher Afgan Niazi. Around 2.30pm, another group of lawyers attacked the first group. Faisal Sabzwari, a Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) MPA, told AFP that lawyers from his party were protesting against the public beating of Niazi when they were attacked. “Ten were injured including a female lawyer,” he said.

HE BRAVED THE PRESSURE WHEN IT IS FROM HIS OWN PEOPLE ONLY, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FORIEGN PRESSURE HE IS A COWARD LAMB. ABOUT HIS HONESTY JUST THIS EXAMPLE IS ENOUGH THAT WHEN HE CAME TO LONDON TO SHOW UK MEDIA ABOUT DISHONESTY OF CHIEF JUSTICE, HE BROUGHT FUEL SLIPS WHICH SHOWS THAT CJ HAD RS 28000 (£240) FUEL IN HIS CAR, AND HE HIMSELF WAS STAYING IN MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL IN LONDON (i.e. £12000 PER NIGHT WHICH IS NEARLY RS. 1,500,000). WHAT ABOUT STEEL MILL, PTCL, KARACHI STOCK EXCHANGE AND A LOT MORE.

Miss Pakistan World 2007 Mahleej Sarkari was quoted as saying, "Musharraf is a hunk. He has enough charisma to have young girls going nuts."

I could not understand how a guy can stand with his wrong doing to the nation like that. He thinks he is courageous enough to bear all this pressures. I do feel this is not the case but he has lost his conscious to realize what is wrong and what is right. If he should have been a man of principal he should have left the people alone and I assure you that we will be better off without this so called iron man ( according to him). A man is recognized by the company he keeps and it is very much obvious from the people around him.

I completely agree with kardar. I don't think he has a mind of his own. He (just like his government) is just an empty shell

The guy is a total liar. One needs to read the 'Grooming of Musharraf', which revelas his true identity and that of his wife, and his role in undermining the existance of Pakistan and perverting Islam.
