جنرل پرویز مشرف آئین اور جمہوریت کے قاتل ثابت ہو چکے۔ امریکہ کا حواری بن کر انھوں نے ملکی مفادات کا سودا کیا۔ پاکستان کو دہشت گردی کی جنگ میں دھکیل کر ناقابل تلافی جانی و مالی نقصان پہنچایا اور تباہی کے دھانے پر پہنچا دیا۔

وقت کے تقاضے ہوتے ہیں ملک کو جوڑنے کی ضرورت ہے ایسے فیصلے جس سے فاصلے بڑھیں ، تقسیم بڑھے قوم اور ادارے تقسیم ہوں ان کا فائدہ ؟ مسلسل کہ رہا ہوں گفتگو کی ضرورت ہے نیو ڈیل (New Deal) کی طرف جائیں ایک دوسرے کو نیچا دیکھانا کسی کے مفاد میں نہیں، ملک پر رحم کریں

On the other hand, defense analysts, like Lt General (Retd) Ghulam Mustafa and Air Marshal (Retd) Shahid Latif — parable the verdict with “the sad day in the history” and avowed that history has begun to enlighten whether Mushraff’s choice about the judges wasn’t right or not.
Here I would like to quote the High Treason case against General #Musharraf, whatever is happening with him, I think this would be a miscarriage of justice in the history of Pak. What he did on 3rd Nov 2007, was it a right or wrong move, that’s debatable.https://t.co/bIfZ1x4oob

Sad day in the history of Pakistan, where a judgment has been given without hearing the defendant. Also, General Musharraf has been singled out in this case shows the Mala fide of Nawaz Sharif and Iftikhar Chaudhary. Justice must be seen to be done! #Musharraf
