Has he really gone?

By NASIRA IQBAL August 28, 2008

Pervez Musharraf tendered his resignation to the Speaker of the National Assembly on August 18, 2008, which was immediately accepted. Thereafter, he was presented a guard of honour as a farewell gesture, but has he really left the Army House (later re-named as President's Camp Office)? There was no justification to present him a guard of honour after such dishonorable acts as usurpation of the Constitutional office of President, subversion of the Constitution on two occasions, failure to implement his so-called seven point agenda, or to develop any positive energy, water, agriculture, commerce, health, education or environment strategies; illegal removal and arrest of dozens of judges of the Superior Courts along with their families; illegal amendments in the Constitution; murder of thousands of citizens under the tutelage of the US in its so-called War On Terror and arrest of thousands of lawyers, journalists and members of civil society during the Martial Law imposed by him on November 3, 2007; the hasty removal of all evidence regarding Benazir Bhutto's assassination; the promulgation of the abominable and ignominious National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) .... The list of his misdeeds could go on ad infinitum and ad nauseam without serving any constructive purpose.
