Musharraf exemplifies a further quality Indian politicians would do well to emulate. He’s prepared to face up to his critics, take their hostile questions and spend hours defending his position whilst attempting to change theirs I have to admit, I’ve never come across someone like Pervez Musharraf. This is not necessarily a compliment. It’s simply a statement of fact.
But think about it — he’s a former miitary ruler who revels in free speech much like a dedicated democrat; he’s a general who is, amazingly enough, also a gripping orator; he’s a stern disciplinarian but he has a winning sense of humour; he projects a tough commando exterior but his clothes reveal a sharp sense of sartorial elegance. Indeed, he’s a man of so many apparent paradoxes, he’s impossible to define.

With Delhi still beating war drums over the November Mumbai attacks, our former President Pervez Musharraf travelled to India recently, and there he warned our neighbors of an all-out war should they strike Pakistan. He also let us know that he is ready to return to the call of political duty. Outsiders might be confused at this change in the situation – what’s he doing there? Didn’t he resign in August? Here’s the beauty of it all: Musharraf’s re-emergence has many middle-class Pakistanis excited and hopeful. Is he back? !

Mr. Musharraf has charisma. But he was a colossal disappointment for Pakistanis because of his failure to end destructive Pakistani politics and his exaggerated trust in the Americans. Now he is trying to make a comeback. Does he stand a chance?The increased belligerence of Mr. Nawaz Sharif can only be matched by the exponential increase in the public appearances of former president Pervez Musharraf.
The present government is incompetent and has no credibility. The popularity ratings of Mr. Zardari are half that of Mr. Musharraf.General Musharraf has a great personality and can speak really well. His eloquence can only be matched by his self-confidence. There are no absolutes, but the general consensus is that he is incorruptible and his team, judging by Pakistani standards, was not corrupt, or not as corrupt as Mr. Zardari’s or Mr. Sharif’s.
