An Open Letter to Gen. Pervaiz Musharaff
Posted by pimalik Nov 29, 1999 01:53 am
The writers` mindset is indicative of their Americanisation. May i ask them when was the last time they visited Pakistan? Having lived in USA for over two decades. i am quite familiar with their kind who gauge everything according to their newly found enlightment in the US. Alas, they remain ignorant of the ground realities that are foreign to US. Their statement that Gen Musharraf has destroyed the most sacred document i.e. the Constitution is proof of their naivete. It is also proof of their lack of understanding about the tragic state of national affairs at home (Pakistan). I humbly suggest they read up on the attack on Supreme Court in Nov,97 by the goons of Muslim League to save their despot leader Nawaz Sharif. The Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper if it is not safeguarded by the Supreme Court. Pakistan had descended into a state of anarchy and lawlessness which the writers cannot fathom sitting in the US Capitol. While their sentiments are innocent, their understanding is flawed. They need to come and live in Pakistan for a year or two before passing judgement on Army action which has been welcomed, nay hailed as a blessing, by 99% Pakistanis. And we all know that the voice of the people is the voice of God!

WasSalaam.
