Who to Thank?
By Dr. Ghayur Ayub

General Musharraf repeated his earlier rhetoric in Mansehra the other day when he asked the public to vote for his supporters. Interestingly, this time he went one step further by equating all his opponents as ‘militants. This time, he drew a convoluted line on the messy board of militarized democracy by dividing the public into 'militants' and 'non-militants'. I don’t know whether to thank him for taking political sides or the Supreme Court for keeping quiet about it.
