The so-called President of Pakistan General (R) Pervez Musharraf had always been saying that 98% of Pakistanis support his policies and he is one of the most popular “dictators” of Pakistan in the world. Plus, there were so many people who were crazy about him and gave justifications for each of his actions and policies. I’m wondering that with the change of power equation, what has happened to these supporters and even Musharraf’s boastings.
Ok. Mr. Musharraf is under immense pressure, but what’s wrong with those people who were their to praise him and his policies day and night. Where are our nice fellows who tried to convince us that Mr. Musharraf was the only solution for Pakistan and whatever he was doing is justified?
I don’t know why people don’t listen to logic and rationale, when they are in power or they are supporting those who are in power. Their mentality is the worst mentality of slavery and it only opts to worship the power symbols. It does not recognize right or wrong, it just recognizes a Lord, consciously or subconsciously.
The concept of ‘free mind’, irrespective of the power centers is yet to be explored by that ‘elite class’ of Pakistanis. There is no doubt that how strong one person or a country is, its power has to end and those who have a ‘free mind’ will ultimately survive. I hope the Pakistanis understand this during the misuse of power. Only then they will be able to use the power of ‘free minds’.
