Duffer, am I?

Today is a day of an important decision for me.” Proceedings began with recitation from the Holy Quran at 13.10 pm. President Pervez Musharraf said the nation is aware of the crisis it is going through.

“When I assumed charge nine years ago the country was about to be branded a failed state and a terrorist state. He asid assumed charge with the aim of rescuing the country. In the last nine years I have tried my best to serve the country to the best of my ability… during confrontation with India, 9/11 and its aftermath and the devastating earthquake.’

‘In all these crises we stood up thanks to the Grace of Gof and saved Pakistan from the crises. In handling the problems the sole aim was the well-being of the people and the safety and security of Pakistan.

I have taken part in two wars which Pakistan fought… [The coalition government] They deceived the people. Never did they realize that they may win against me but how adversely the contry was affected did not concern them. Economic decline and energy crisis we’re experiencing is being attributed to my policies.

I would like to put some facts before the nation, especially the economy. The economy was doing well, in fact very well before Deb 2007. he GDP growth was 7 percent. Revenue collection had reached one trillion dollars. The KSE index was around 15,000 points. All these indicators are of eight months ago. Pakistan’s economy was poised to take off. How did the economic probkem start all of a sudden? Why has the stock exchange lost 5,000 points. Why has the rupee lost almost 30 percent of its value?

Surely, the present economic crisis is owing to rising oil prices and similar other developments on a global basis. But it is wholly incorrect to put blame on these global factors alone. It is our own failures during the last 8 months.

Power Sector: We were producing 14,000 MW in June 2007 but are now producing just about 10,000 MW. Why? In a nutshell, the people are being fooled. Let us now look forward to find solutions to take the country out of the woods. During the past nine years, we addressed all sectors and accelerated development in the country. In these 9 years , we constructed several roads and bypasses and worked on several other developmental projects. You can see for yourself how much we have done, including all the dams that have been constructed (such as the Mirani Dam). Several canals are also being constructed. These developments will help irrigate 3 million acre fields in the country.

There was massive industrialisation during the last nine years. There was a lot done for higher education. Nice universities from different foreign countries had agreed to set up campuses in the country. In the health sector primary and secondary healthcare was given priority. Safe drinking water was a sector that was addressed on priority and 6000 water purification plants were set up. Women were given political empowerment and now you see a lot more women in eh assemblies. Honour killing was discouraged and Hudood Ordinance laws were revamped. The minorities were given opportunities and culture and heritage was given due importance.

Democracy: We incorporated the essence of democracy into the system through a highly progressive Local Bodies system. Anyone harming it will harm Pakistan. We held two successful general elections. Global Image: We introduced Pakistans true image all over the world which proves the success of our policies.

I’m proud of all the achievements. If you look at the donor’s conference, we were given 6.5 billion dollars in donations when we needed 5 billion. I’ll come to the current economic scenario now. From the beginning, I wanted to create a reconciliatory atmosphere in Pakistans politics on a personal and institutional level. I talked about the 3-phase transition to democracy in Pakistan. The third phase was achieved last year when I doffed my uniform and held free and fair elections in Pakistan. After the elections, people had hopes from their leaders in the govt. Pakistanis have been looking forward toward prosperity and stability in the political atmosphere.

Is unfortunate my appeals to strive for reconciliation and a resolution of economic issues facing the people went unheeded. Some sections of the political forces chose confrontation rather than reconciliation. The President’s office was accused of conspiring against the new democratic setup. You should remember it was I who held free and fair elections. Look at the PM’s election the coalition setup in Sindh. The opposition cooperated with the govt. in getting the budget passed. I have publicly announced my support to the govt. I have offered the govt. my services. Unfortunately the coalition govt. thinks me a problem and wants to impeach. What are they scared of and why do they want to do this?

Impeachment and chargesheet is the right of the Parliament and I have the right to defend myself against these charges.I am confident that no charge can be proved against me. All my actions were for the good of the people and the country. All my major decisions were the consent of all concerned and all stake-holders, e.g. services, bureaucracy, civil society, etc. I am not at all worried about the Charge-Sheet because nothing can be proved. But the larger issue is what isit going to cost Pakistan - its economy, political and social order, honour and prestige of the highest office of the state. Such are the considerations upper-most in my mind.

Whether I’m impeached or not, the country’s stability will be compromised. The office of the president will also be insulted. Pakistan is my love; now and always, my life is for Pakistan. I have defended and will continue to defend Pakistan. I want to be able to bring Pakistan out of the current crisis so I think perhaps should do something. But I also do not want to do something that may generate uncertainty in the country. I also want to save the Parliament from horse-trading. Even if the impeachment is defeated, the relations between the President’s office and the coalition govt. will not heal. Institutions will be endangered. Therefore, with this situation in view and having consulted my legal and political advisors, I have decided to resign from my post.

I have decided to resign from the office of President and my resignation will be handed over to the Speaker of the National Assembly. I want the people to be the judges and let them decide my fate. I am a human being and may have committed follies.”

Please clear your mind and think.

I think you are not aware of GEO… Its been funded by USA government. just think, what  Jew / Indian/ American lobby want  ……… the basic idea is to promote frustration, and despondence in a nation  so they start to demoralize the nation.

In reply to an article posted “May 30, 2007 by Jacquelyn”

The basic idea of an ethical will is “”in addition to leaving material possessions in a will or trust, we leave for those in future generations a statement of our ethical values.”"
Now a very core idea is undermined here that ethics are either taught by culture or religion or family or a professional body and (excluding the professional body) non of the above gives us a wwritten deed to follow or adhere to. Instead they present the ethical and moral values in a fashion of acts, behaviours, statements and sologons etc.

The what i m trying to say here gets better if we review a simple case study of 5 Monkeys. It goes as follow;
*lock 5 monkeys in a steel cage.
*place a ladder in the middle and on top of which place a sack of bananas AND link the steek ladder with a power line.
*now observe
(hehe .. if u go on doing such a thing u would probably be swarmed by animal rights members and making a monkey out of your own self so saving you all the troubles i’ll let you know the end result ^_^ charms)
*1 of the monkeys will climb the ladder and will be struck by current and the rest are washed by a power hose under neath.
*now the 2nd monkey will try to climb the ladder and gets struck and rest gets washed.
*now the 3rd .. reapeat the same procedure.
*one by one they all gets a taste of current and washing.
*observe now that if any one of the monkeys try to mount the ladder the rest will stop him and beat him so that he doesnt climb up and they are spared of washing.
*they do it repeatedly and it becomes a custom among them that if one try to climb up beat him.
(here’s the cheeky part)
*now remove the power supply and the water hose.
*and also remove 1 of the old monkeys and add a fresh monkey.
*now a fresh monkey wont resist a sack a bananas would he ..!!
*he tries to climb and all others beat him, he tries again and gets beaten cold.
*one by replace all the old monkeys and introduce new monkeys.
*even now if 1 tries to climb the ladder with no power supply or the power hose in sight he gets beaten by the remaining monkeys.
*WHY ..?
because in culture you dont have a WHY, you just do things because they are being done this way for ages, and ethics are a fundamental part of a societies culture.

Despite the story of 5 monkeys there are many other logical statements that has a powerfull statement against writting ethical wills, list of them is as follows;
1. it will create demotivation in the reader, because when we write on such a subjective issue it is more or less an idiological writting and the reader failing to observe the same around him (in practical) will get demotivated such an instrument.
2. it is better to practice the same (ethics) rather than to write it down and consider that our responsibility is over and lay the burdon of observing on the later generation.
3. ethics are incorporated by repeated practice and not just by a deed.
4. people originate from different backgrounds and have different moral and ethical values hence a written deed of conflicts is generated.
5. it is never right to assume that the person writting the ethical will is perseaving every thing with a sane and biased free mind, hence leaving nothing but churned facts and bad ethical practices for the later to come.
6. its a waste of paper.
7. and ink.
8. and leasure time.
9. a bad person will have bad ethics and hence preserving them in writting is a bad gift for the generation to come.
10. not every one is a role model, hence we can not just follow any one’s foot steps we need to choose.

And why create our own ethical standards when we have GOD taking care of this for us ..? GOD has sent Holy Books and Messengers (as) and Noble Men to guide us through this ethics thing, because religion is what? A simple way of leading our lives! why make it difficult by incorporating our standards and wills in it.

For the end note I would just say ‘will’ is a wish that we wanted to fulfill in our life but couldnt .. it is a subjective issue and do we really want the change in time (future generation) to fulfill our short commings an not move ahead.

ACT NOW ON WHAT YOU BELEIVE IN.
