TORONTO - Former president and All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) chief Pervaiz Musharraf has said that the Pakistan Muslim League-N government has failed in every field and crossed all the limits of bad governance.
He warned that if this state of affairs continued, the international community would start considering Pakistan as a failed state. Addressing party workers in Toronto over the telephone, Musharraf said that how a government would defend Pakistan which was ignorant of its oil reserves. He said that if the prime minister had to hold meetings on daily basis to have information about oil reserves, what was the benefit of an army of advisers and ministers. The former president said that world is being told that Pakistan lacks resources, while Pakistan is rich in resources and the people have all the capabilities. He said what is needed is good governance and an honest leadership. He said that a proof of this was the tenure of his eight year rule. He said when they took over the forex reserves were only 400 million which reached $18.4 billion and they left the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for any assistance. He said that many mega projects were completed during his tenure while job opportunities for the people were in abundance.
He said that during his rule the prestige of Pakistan was raised and defence strengthened. He said that he gave the people gift of real democracy. He said that he organised local bodies elections and devolved powers to the lower level. The gathering, participated by Pakistanis from across Canada was also addressed by APML Central Secretary General Dr Mohammad Amjad and other leaders. Dr Amjad said that every day there is one crisis or the other in Pakistan and Pakistan has become a joke. He said that the government wants to complete its tenure by making non issues as issues. He strongly criticised the government for using delaying tactics and not allowing Pervez Musharraf to go to Saudi Arabia to condole the death of King Abdullah.
