The special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke has said that yet another army intervention in Pakistani politics could be dangerous. Richard Holbrooke also said that former President Pervez Musharraf would not be elected in the next elections of 2013 and that his chances to regain power are very bleak. Holbrooke said that Pervez Musharraf did not fulfill his pledges with the USA. Had he (Musharraf) taken stern measures against extremist madrassahs and patronized democracy, things and situation would have been different.
