A Himalayan miscalculation

According to news former President Pervaiz Mushrraff escaped from the judiciary after his arrest orders were issued. Only days ago election commission cancelled his nomination papers from four different places. The condition that the former president finds himself in is a lesson for political personalities in Pakistan. Only days go he was a powerful president, but now he has very few sympathizers in the country. Despite his claim of popularity on his arrival at Karachi Airport only five hundred people came to receive him and he is still living in high security. All his former political allies PML-Q, MQM Altaf, ANP have distanced themselves from his new political agenda.
Political observers think that Musharraf miscalculated the situation and now is paying a heavy price. True reality is that despite his claim of success in his tenure, the country is paying a high price for his polices. He attacked the judiciary, and arrested the Chief Justice of Pakistan. He also started an army operation in the tribal area, the result of which we can see in the ongoing war and destruction in the guise of revenge suicide attacks and worse peace situation.
Musharraf also started army operation against veteran leader Akbar Bugti, after his killing, things went from bad to worse in Balochistan. Most tragic chapter of his tenure was the missing people’s cases, the numbers went up to thousands, as well as our own people arrested and handed over to other countries without any legal proceedings and orders. The most famous and pathetic among them was Dr Aafia Siddiqui case.
