Supreme Court of Pakistan has summoned Former President Musharraf to explain his decisions against judges in 2007 which according to many may lead to  further questioning about some controversial desicions made by him. The wheel of time is moving in the opposite direction now but I give him credit for staying inside Pakistan after leaving the office. If he will be bold enough to face the court (the court he once over-ruled) then Mr Musharraf is a true Pak Army ... Read More

Published in The Independent, it is definitely worth reading. ‘Since you were so kind as to greet us in London at Downing Street last month, the President would like to return the favour,” announces Major-General Rashid Qureshi, President Pervez Musharraf’s PR man over the phone. Only in Pakistan could the government’s head of spin be a retired major-general. He is referring to my last encounter with the President on 28 January – when, along with a 2,000-strong, placard-waving, slogan-jeering mob, I ... Read More
