History is
Repeated
By Dr. Ghayur Ayub
London, England
According
to a news item, General Musharraf told a group
of British MPs that free and fair elections in
Pakistan would lead to a landslide victory for
“fundamentalists,” meaning thereby
that he wanted some kind of “controlled”
elections.
According to declassified documents of 1950s,
General Ayub in unanimity with Sikandar Miraz
used to say that “people of this country
need controlled democracy for time to come.”
What a similarity in the thought process of a
general of yesteryear and a general of today and
what a resemblance between the politician (Sikandar
Mirza) of the past and the politician (Chaudhry
Shujaat) of today! Long live militarized democracy
in Pakistan!
