Dear All,
Two points caught my attention during General Musharaf's press conference.
First, the tracking sweats on his face took me back to the day when he faced parliamentarians on the only Joint-Session he ever attended three years ago. If sweating denotes weakness of nerves, he qualified both the times. After the first incidence, he refused to address them again accusing the opposing lot as "˜bad-mannered'. Is he going to repeat his "˜sweat revenge', this time, from media-men, especially when he accused a few foreign and local journalists?
Second, the unbelievable stance he took when he blamed Mr. Ifitkhar Mohammad Chaudry for taking action against privatization process, as he put it, "˜to gain cheap popularity'. If saving Rs billions of Exchequers in Steel Mill Case was simply for cheap popularity, I pray to Almighty to bless this nation with a few more such people who could take similar actions for cheap popularity.
Dr Ghayur Ayub
