General Musharraf's junta has increased price of virtually everything. Milk, flour, petrol and gas have become terribly expensive. The cost of electricity, telecommunications and air fares are ridiculously high. This military dictatorship has become intolerable - the criminal increase in price of things should not go unpunished.
It is obvious the military does not care what anyone thinks. It imagines public opinion is of no consequence. But when public opinion turns into a mass uprising it will be impossible to control and manage. The military officers will shed the uniforms and hide their ranks and pretend they have no association with the military.
Military rule always has will always mean absolute corruption. Military dictators have absolute power and that means they are absolutely corrupt. They do not represent anyone except the members of their junta. The present democracy is a facade - Shaukat Aziz imported from abroad was finance mininster now he is prime minister. He has not been legally elected - he has been appointed by General 'president' Musharraf - Shaukat Aziz is subsidising the world tour of General Musharraf and of all the appointed (not elected) ministers.
The first priority of such regimes is how much they can travel the world. The problems of the country are the least of their concerns. Shaukat Aziz in order to purchase bullet proof cars is increasing prices of everyday commodities. The price of meat is excessive. A forgeign company was offering meat at at one hundreth of the local price, but it was not allowed to enter the market.
People spend 85 per cent of their income on food,utilities and rent - with the remaining 15 per cent they have to pay for education of their children. The hatred of the military is rising by the day. People are fed up of unrepresentative leadership. Tax money is lining the pockets of the military officers and civil servants and the fake democratic government.
Before the break up of the country and the formation of Bangladesh - shattered the image of the milstary - it showed it was an incompetent and unreliable force. Bangladesh was the result of General (Field Marshal) Ayub Khan who wanted to control everything and exploit everything. The people of former East Pakistan were fed up and with the help of the Indian armed forces the military rule was brought to a sudden end. The number of soldiers who were beheaded is uncounted a real coup de tat.
General Musharraf is falling in the footsteps of General Ayub Khan, he has started the final destruction of Pakistan, because of his unashamed corruption. He doces not care what anyone thinks. He is ruthless and treacherous person not only him but every member of his junta and the people who are running the fake democratic government.
