Former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf who now heads his All-Pakistan Muslim League (APML) has declared that he will return to Pakistan on March 23 and claimed that people of Sindh will accord him a warm welcome.
Addressing on phone from Dubai a gathering of a few thousand supporters gathered at a ground off the Super Highway here on Sunday, Mr Musharraf said Pakistan was passing through a critical phase in its history.
“The country faces extremism, poverty and an economic crisis and the poor are suffering. We have to rectify the situation and had to more than just praying. We will have to work together.”
He spoke for about 20 minutes, mostly recounting the development projects launched by his government in Sindh`s water sector. These projects were meant for good of the people and had never been taken up previously, he said. In this connection, he mentioned the Right Bank Outfall Drain (RBOD), Reni Canal, Sukkur barrage`s repair and Poverty Alleviation Programme launched in Tharparkar and coastal districts of Badin and Thatta.
Speaking a few sentences in Sindhi he expressed delight that people had gathered there despite police attempts to stop them.
He criticised what he termed the attempts made to sabotage his first public meeting since the creation of APML and said Nawaz Sharif`s rally in Faisalabad was being guarded by thousands of policemen. “It is not democracy. There was real democracy under my government when I gave freedom to all political parties,” he said.
