According to International Monetary Fund (IMF), Pakistan was the third highest growing economy after China and India in Musharraf’s era. Other indicators include a drastic decrease in poverty, growths in CNG fuel, information technology and telecommunication sectors.
Musharraf even played a significant role in transforming the infrastructure of this country. Four dams (Subakzai, Gomalzam, Khurram and Tangi) were constructed during his period.
He initiated the plans to work on seven motorways in different areas of Pakistan; some were completed during his period and others remained under construction. Advanced Gwadar port, Kachi Canal Project, Lyari Expressway and a 650km long coastal highway are also among the many achievements of Musharraf’s period. Media enjoyed the liberation during his era.
I think it’s unfair to stop Musharraf from contesting the elections. To conduct free and fair elections, everyone should get a chance.
