Following the targeting to Aaj TV station during the May 12 riots in Karachi, Gen. Pervez Musharraf gave an exclusive long interview to Talat Hussain and Aaj, much like he had given an interview to Geo after the attack on Geo. Here is a how it went.
Thanks to Saad for putting this on YouTube and sharing.

has everyone forgotten Nawaz and Benazir’s time when we had non - stop killings in Karachi all the way from 1986 to until Musharraf took over. Have we forgotten Nasrullah Babar and how him and his teams of “encounter specialists” took over Karachi and the non stop violence slowed down a bit because the criminals ran from Karachi because of fear?
How many people here remember the PECHS killings where the killers entered and killed an entire family in execution style - women , children , young men ?
How many have forgotten the eids we spent in karachi where the imambargahs and mosques had armed guards on the roofs because they had been a non stop spate of killings in the mosques and imambargahs ?
I am not saying Mushahharaf is better, all I am saying can we chose the lesser of all evils ?

Just a pressure tactic. MQM needs the General more than ever at this point now that the whole country is against them.
i have just about had enuff of musharraf. gone are the dreams of a prosperous secular pakistan when he took over, it is now evidently clear that he is just another dictator in the long line of military dictators we ve had. He believes he has the god given right to rule pakistanis without rule of law, he hires and fires PMs and CJs as if he is running his army brigade.
I am shocked at myself but I am willing to admit that I am finally beginning to re-align myself with Nawaz and Benazir even though they looted the country! atleast they knew what peace and rule of law is!!
musharraf shd be tried for high treason and hanged as a lesson for the generals of the future.
According to ‘the news’ they’re contemplating parting ways with the ruling establishment.
BTW, do you guys know that entire MQM leadership is in London including the governor? yesterday i read abou oath taking cermony of acting Governor. Is something cooking? or we are going to experience another Governor Raaj?
and what do you say about Confidential meeting of Abdul Razzaq thaim, the ex Education Minister of Sind who met Mush at his camp office and disclosed some secrets that his own people are against him?
Talat is talented and outspoken. How many of you got chance to watch his interview with Sushma Sooraj, an Indian polician who’s also very outspoek. Talat had just cornered her brutally and she had nothing to say to back her points.
