Why we support President Pervez Musharraf ?

The reason behind the witch hunting of Musharraf is as follows: the civilian dictators of Pakistan, who insist they are "democratic," are terrified by the prospect of Musharraf entering politics. For this reason they wish to throw as many hurdles as they possibly can in his path. They are scared by Musharraf because he stands for real democracy and not the sham dictatorial "democracy" traditionally practised by Pakistan's politicians, where leadership revolves around certain families.

Musharraf represents the common Pakistanis, the middle class and the educated, who wish to see real democracy flourish in Pakistan and for the country to prosper.

We Pakistanis support Musharraf with all our heart and soul and we wish to give a lie to the constant assertion that Musharraf has allegedly no supporters. We exist; there are many of us around, in all parts of the world where Pakistani communities exist.

We support Musharraf because his record speaks for itself.

• Musharraf introduced a more democratic form of government in Pakistan, giving political awareness and power to the masses.
• Musharraf was the first Pakistani leader to openly confront and fight extremists and terrorists within Pakistan
• Musharraf put the Pakistani economy on the track towards recovery
• Musharraf ushered in an era of unprecedented media freedom throughout Pakistan
• Under Musharraf we saw large scale development in Pakistan’s financial capital, Karachi
• Under Musharraf we saw the construction of highways and motorways throughout Pakistan.
• Musharraf introduced an ambitious PhD system in Pakistan and literacy rates improved by 11%
• Under Musharraf poverty decreased by 10% and middle class became more assertive.
• Musharraf significantly strengthened Pakistan's defence capabilities
• Musharraf backed the empowerment of women and made efforts to improve standards.
• Women representation in assemblies was raised to 33% under Musharraf.

For these and so many other reasons, we wholeheartedly support and admire Musharraf.
