All’s not well

The Rawalpindi bombings which claimed 25 lives should send a strong signal to the Musharraf regime that all is not well in Pakistan. The General first allowed the ultras to grow in strength and then became pro-active to rein them in. This tactic of his has proved dangerous for him and Pakistan.

The blasts are a reminder of the adage, sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Terror knows no boundary and belongs to no religion. I hope it is not too late for the Pakistani leadership to turn off the tap of cross-border terror.

Pakistan’s political future is being secretly fashioned by Washington. It is expected that Pervez Musharraf will soon appoint himself the civilian President and announce elections for PPP leader Benazir Bhutto to contest. Once again, the U.S. and the West will decide the destiny of one of our neighbours. It can only be seen as an unholy political marriage between a leader who presided over the most corrupt regime and a general who has betrayed the nation’s interests. The military dictator has been given a political lifeline. It exposes the West’s supremacist quest to export its ideology of ‘freedom and democracy.’
