Dictatorship prevails over democracy in Pakistan

Europe, May 06: He ruled Pakistan as a dictator for a decade before leaving the office of President in August 2008. Thereafter, he lived in self-imposed exile for four years, shuttling between London and Dubai, and now, Pakistan's former President-General Pervez Musharraf has returned home in the hope of making a political comeback. Unfortunately, Musharraf's political journey has come to a shocking and abrupt halt from his point of view, with his arrest on charges of declaring and emergency in Pakistan in 2007, ordering the detention and arrest of judges, and for his alleged roles in the assassinations of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
