Musharraf took power on 12th October 1999, following a nonviolent military coup d’état and subsequent ouster of the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. We have collected pictures of Musharraf’s arrival as martial law administrator. These pics are collected from various sites most notably the BBC.

Most of our politicians are corrupt same as other parts of the world ,so army is our survivour,now a common man started looking towards intervention from army bcz of corrupt politicians,common person has no intrest in zardari/musharaf/nawaz credibility, NRO,nfc award and other disputes,these things belong to be solved in assemblies not on the streets.A common person wants job,life security,fresh water ,afordable housing & health care.We are all human beings we do mistakes,also Gen.Musharaf did the same but the good thing that he admits but still he says that on those issues I had consent of Armed forces and what I did,did in great favour of Pakistan.The great quality of this guy that he is not a liar,he openly accept criticisim.What he did for pakistan we all know very well that how did he saved this country from big turmoil.His services for this country will be remembered for long time.Once he openly remind Usa that I’m not going to give you all receipt of the funds you provided us don’t ask about them.He was too close to Bush that in camp David he was sitting along bush in Golf car other than musharraf I never see any other president from Asia so close .Musharaf is man of word he gave his word to Saudis on Nawaz and was stick till last.He did’nt harm Nawaz or his family.Gen.Musharaf will emerge as a civilian leader on which each pakistani leader will trust ,very soon it will happen.

@ Usman…. Brother do u want u gate keeper to decide what is good for u and what is not???? Our Army is to protect our borders. They are not made to sit in our offices and plan what is best for us. Politician are corrupt i agree!! but that does not mean we have to think as our general wants us to think. Army is developed with a specific frame of mind. but nations need thinkers/ leaders with vision and u cant expect it from a man who only knows how to get a piece of land and how to kill someone to achieve specific target. Leadership has to come from us. i mean we people….. this is our land and we are free ……..to think and make this nation proud. Don’t u know how embarrassing it feels when people say are u the people who r treated with guns and army boots!!! at least i dont support mushrraf!
@ Azhar Bhai–You are free to express yourideology but the fact is that our country was ruled more than 4-decades by our Army.I’m a big fan of Late Gen.Ayub khan who is the pioneer to provide concrete foundations of our beloved country.In our Islamic history a Ruler always been a “Sipha-e-Salar”.Gen.Zia ul Haq had a great team of generals who proved their professional skills no need to tell again & again.As far as Gen.Musharaf concerns,he saved us after nine Eleven ,we all know about it .Only Gen.Yahya did mistake bcz of ZA Bhutto(politician) otherwise Sheikh Mujeeb would be the PM .Bhutto a politician showed his creedy nature by a slogan “Edhar Hum –Udhar Tumm”.Who was responsible to break pakistan,Mujeeb (politician),Bhutto(Politician) or Gen.Yahya?Our Armed forces got bad name in history surrendered more than 95,000 soldiers ,do you know who was responsible to demoralize the sprit & morals of our Armed Forces? ZA Bhutto, a politician ,got his punishment .
that time is long gone. We must live for today and analyze how to carry out operations to fight extremism out of Pakistan. We support and praise the Pakistan Army for a successful operation in South Waziristan and wish them luck in Khurrum agency.
Murtaza Jee–History is the root on which Nations build & destroyed,on history nations show their proud.once you overlook your history,history will make you a thing of past.
Unneccessary praise to army is also dangerous should keep check & balance.In my earlier comments on this site, I kept emphasis to start dialogues b/w Our brothers and army.For God sake don’t kill the innocent,brave,poor people who in return at each time of war with India sacrified their lives unpaid before any pakistani Uniformed soldier got killed.Don’t show the one sided picture.If we loose their love & sympathy to pakistan,I’m sure, our in service & retired Brass people could’nt live the Lavish lifestyle in 2000sq.yds fully airconditioned homes having fleet of luxurious cars, army of servants ,their kids getting education from prestigious institutions of abroad.
Open your eyes don’t push my poor brothers against the wall,stop this silent genocide of My Muslim Brothers in name of Extremist or Talibans,beleive me the curses of oppressed don’t go unheared.
musharraf was the prestige of pakisaatn
