Democracy in Pakistan
By Ahmad J.

Benazir and Nawaz Sharif took turns to plunder the national coffer. They failed the nation not once but twice. What they preached proved to be a bluff and what they are preaching now at the behest of their colonial masters is a recipe for bloodshed in Pakistan.
The Charter of Democracy to me is a “Deserters Democracy Deal”. A cover-up of their crimes or projection of a soft image by the media may damage the efforts of President Musharraf. There is no doubt that the General is sincere to his people but he is confronted with enormous challenges at home and abroad.
