The Main Reason for Musharraf’s Troubles
By Shafiq Khan

President Musharraf's past twelve months have been too stormy, confusing and chaotic because of many follies committed by him and his advisors.
In my view, the main reason for his downfall would be that "one cannot be teetar and batair at the same time."
He tried to be a military dictator and a popular democratic leader at the same time, which was IMPOSSIBLE. If he overthrew Nawaz Sharif in a peaceful coup, he should have behaved like a full-fledged dictator. If he wanted to be a democratic leader, he should have taken everyone with him instead of having a love affair with the ‘Q’ League and MQM.
Well, Mr. President, it’s too late now. You might stretch a few more months or year(s) but honestly speaking, that would be a drag, not a rule.
