No, Moeen U Ahmed should not resign from his extended post. We need
him to stand up to our 'democratic' dogs.
As AL and BNP prepare to again drag our nation down into the dirt
using the same people, the same policies and the same politics, it is
of no consolation that '...at least we had an election'.
It is disgusting that so many measure the CTG with high standards but
they measure their own party with low standards.
BNP had this golden chance to do something fresh and new. Instead
those two silly bug gers Hanan and Khondaker did the only thing they
know - "Khaleda Puja".
A curse on all these hypocrites!

humiliation of impeachment, former army chief Pervez Musharraf quit

its military, and expected Musharraf to produce results.

soldiers fighting in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. Yet
suspicions lingered that Pakistani intelligence agencies played a
double-game, allowing the Taliban safe refuge.

Brought back from the brink of bankruptcy and made more open and
investor friendly, Pakistan became one of the fastest growing
economies in the world.

international food and energy prices along with mismanagement during
the last year undid much of the good.

launched in 2004, two years after the nuclear-armed rivals went to
the brink of a fourth war.

would lead Pakistan out of political morass and growing religious
conservatism.

who liked a peg of whisky and wasn't shy of being photographed with
his pet Pekingese, despite more orthodox Muslim taboos regarding
alcohol and dogs.

place earlier, even though critics say his marginalisation of
mainstream parties enabled Islamist ones to gain influence.

> Rape laws were amended to give women more protection, but otherwise
Musharraf's liberal inclinations were hobbled by the conservatives he
needed for support.

> His lack of resolve was manifest in a half-hearted attempt to
reform religious schools seen as nurseries for militancy.

> He paid a price. Appeasement emboldened radical clerics in charge
of Islamabad's Red Mosque. After shooting broke out in July last
year, Musharraf ordered a commando assault on the complex and more
than 100 people were killed.

Pakistan became increasingly unstable, more people asked if Musharraf
was part of the problem.
