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.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

[quote post=”707″]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!![/quote]
Clearly, you didn’t live in Karachi during ’92-’95 or even later during the reins of Nawaz and Benazir.

very typical responses to the interview. Karachi has always been an extremely voilent city. Every ruler has come and gone, but nothing has changed in Karachi.
The sad fact is that now we as Pakistanis have dug such a deep trench for ourselves that it will be extremely hard for us to come out. And as a result our future generations will also suffer, because we basically don’t have any proper laws to go by. Even if there are laws, nobody abide by it.
I am not a pessamistic, but a realistic, and I seriously don’t see any future for Pakistan. Musharaff or not? it won’t make a difference. The poison has gone through each and every citizen and there is no other way, but to imputate it. Harsh, but that is the truth.
abdullah plz watch the footage on the link i posted instead of playing the blame game… for once think for yourself and don’t just join the baseless echoes of others

Aisha ! There are some thing more important than “Islamic Extremism”.
What happened in Karachi, by Liberal,enlightened , so called progressive terrorist & extremist.
MQM has created “State with in the state”. They gave the blood bath to Karachi.
These extremists are protected by Army & America.
