Return of Musahrraf and Others
By Naveed Khan

Former President Musharraf has been floating the idea of returning to Pakistan to take part in politics. I say he must do that and bring Shauket Aziz with him. Altaf Hussain should return as well.

Zardari should bring his wealth back to Pakistan and encourage others in his party to do the same. Nawaz Sharif should bring the headquarter of his global business to Pakistan. These people not only wield power, they influence the way middle class Pakistani people think about the country and its future. Their gestures of return and bringing their wealth would be a tremendous endorsement of Pakistan's future.

It would be a great psychological, emotional and economic boost for the country. Just think of the Headquarters of Nawaz Sharif Global Business operating in Pakistan or the Zardari enterprise listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange. Such An initiative would be an expression of faith in the future of Pakistan. They should do their politics and business in Pakistan, because it is Pakistan that has given them prominence, power, prestige and wealth. So it is only befitting that they do politics in Pakistan and show enterprise in taking well-meaning measures to contribute to the speedy progress of the country.
