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 comment=”47782″]Musharraf seemed to be very irate when Talat quoted some quotes from a US official. He literally had lot his temper and I thought he was going to tell Talat to get lost.
Military dictators are not visionary and their power lies in bullets not ballots. Gen Musharraf is no exception. He is adamant to be elected for another term with his uniform.
But the recent events have thoroughly shaken after his action against the CJP. The movement is gaining momentum.
Recent events in Karachi has exposed him as a narrow minded leader who preferred to act as an ethnic leader and chose to ally himself with a linguistic ethnic organisation which does not need any introduction. He should have shown his concern in the aftermath of 5/12 but instead chose to pat on the back of arch terrorist Altaf Hussain.[/quote]
Observer, which out of the 7 segements is that in, if you remember? In part 2 Musharraf gets irate when Talat Hussain says that he has a legitimacy crisis :)
Samdani, that’s what I have found from that period. Feel free however to present alternate view.

Seems a little odd to use one dictator’s (Ayub Khan’s) gawahi against another dictator’s (Musharraf’s) lawyer.
I am sorry but I am in no mood to consider Ayub Khan as a moral authority on teh immorality of other people. Also, why are the same comments being posted every post (spamming). Are you trying to sell his book or something?
