Lonely at the top!Freedom continues to elude Pakis
It seems as 
if President Musharraf is fast losing friends. The manner in which, his so-called friends are leaving him one by one, leaves nothing to imagination. It is rumoured in the Islamabad political circles that President Musharraf might put Benazir Bhutto off the hook in lieu of her conditional support to his government, but as things stand today, Benazir has vehemently refuted any such deal. Meanwhile, the pressure on Musharraf is increasing day by day. The support for ousted Chief Justice, Iftekhar Chaudhary has swelled, leaving Musharraf worried. This was evident in the recently held rally by Chaudhary that was made out of bound for the media. Reports suggest that more than 50,000 people attended the rally even though the state machinery worked over time to stop them.
But the question arises; has Musharraf been left all alone? The answer is a big ‘NO’. The largest political group Musharraf counts on is Muttahida Qaumi Movement, or MQM. The group, headed by its absconding leader, Md. Altaf Hussain, has time and again demonstrated its support for Musharraf and that too in a way they do the best; by burning cars and ransacking offices. Apart from that, there is a sizable chunk of the Pakistani intellectual class that approves of the tactics of Musharraf and the way of his governance. A Senior Analyst from the Associated Press in Pakistan, Rashid Ali Khan, tells B&E, “No one can deny the fact that Pakistan grew tremendously during the rule of Musharraf, both on the economic as well as strategic front. What happened in Karachi was unfortunate but that does not belittle the stature of Pervez Musharraf.”
It is now certain that Musharraf is in deep trouble. He is gagging the press and jailing the opponents to protect his falling empire. All that one can hope is that both democracy and sanity returns to Pakistan soon.
