Chairman of his nitwit party, Aftab Sherpao, has suggested all stakeholders in politics to devise a common strategy for the war on terror. He said we did not know for whom we were fighting that war and if it were our war. By his suggestion, Sherpao has won my heart many a time. As Musharraf’s interior minister, did he not fight this war? Why did he not ask his boss why we were fighting American war on terror and killing our own people? So much so, Sherpao was a party to Mush selling his people to the Americans, who landed in Guantanamo gulag.
There was also an attack on him in his hometown but he narrowly survived. Sherpao has had a lucrative career as a politician. People vividly remember his confession of stashing 50,000 pounds in UK for what he called ‘rainy days’. When the rainy days arrived, he fled to where his former boss, Mussharaf, lives in self-exile. Tragedy for Musharraf is that all those who acted as his doormats have distanced themselves from him, save the diehards like Rashid Qureshi, Barrister Saif, and Dr Sher Afgan etc.
