To public, the PPP-led coalition partners have been blaming the Musharraf regime in public speeches for fudging economic figures to paint a rosy picture.

The letter of intent (LoI), on the basis of which Pakistan sought the much-needed 7.6 billion dollars bailout package from the International Monitory Fund (IMF), has bit by bit appreciated the policies of the Musharraf regime since 2000.

During the past one decade (1999-2007), the LoI says Pakistan’s economy witnessed a major economic transformation from substantial increase in the volume of gross domestic product (GDP) to greater international trade.

Talking to Dawn, former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar informed whatever he said about the health of economy was based on the balance sheet existed on March 31, 2008.

He said the cabinet headed by Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani dully approved the balance sheet.

An official source requesting not to be named said the economic wizards in the finance ministry are not politicians to make only speeches but they have to look into ground realities. “We reported to IMF whatever is factual and based on evidence,” the official added.

The LoI said the country’s real GDP increased from 60 billion dollars in 2000-01 to 170 billion dollars in 2007-08 with per capital income rising from under 500 dollars to over 1000 dollars. During the same period, the volume of international trade increased to nearly 60 billion dollars from 20 billion dollars.

For most of this period, real GDP grew at more than 7 per cent a year with relative price stability.

[Moderator: Can someone also present the source of the above report? Secondly, can we view the LoI ourselves to verify the above since it still leaves some doubt ("it has reportedly appreciated the...") ]

What is the meaning of Islam or muslims do you know abou this

You said Good for Pakistan not for Islam, my dear friend when the President of Pakistan is taking oath he himself responsible whatever the constition is saying he should do or implements.

Ex President was loyal and off course good muslim a moderate and reformer muslim who knows the best for country and best for muslims.

You cannot challenge Government rit where the capital is situated , LAL MASJID ACTUALLY TH SAFE COMPOUND FOR EXTREMIST AND TERRORS
and Mushraff was trying his level best that there is no blood shed , when things become worst and worst off course the government can take the action.

If Mushraff was not taking the action action was coming from USA they want to do their way likewise what they are doing now days in Wazirastan and others Afghan area.

Keep in mind go and learn good knowledge of muslim and as well learn that what is the responsiblity of President or King or Amir ul Momanin the same , nobody allowing to challenge government rit.

Mushraff foresight you can see Pakistan still alive and alhumdullah will run.

Dont think so Mushraff Era is final , inshllaha he is coming back , we as a nation is very proud that world is well aware that what is the meaning of Mushraff , meaning is that knowledge , leadership, tolerance , that is the reason he go another 8 lectures from various USA uni and other world affair orgnaisations.

Today only Muhsraff can bring peace and economy and law and order in Pakistan.

Pakistan Army is proud and nation is proud for him.

thank you

now musharraf is apologizing about his some past acts (lal musjid) but thats not finished to just say SORRY…

+++++++++

[Moderator's response: Assalam Alaikum. I am curious to know where Musharraf has supposedly "apologized" his "past acts," specifically on dealing with the lal masjid terrorists? I look forward to your seeing your reference.

Secondly, too much is being made out of nothing. To say "sub sey pehley Pakistan" (Pakistan first) does not contradict/negate Islam or relegate it to a secondary position in any manner. Of course we are all Muslims and Islam should always be of paramount importance to us, but to state "sub sey pehley Pakistan" -- the purpose of which is to merely emphasis the importance of the nation and the need for us to act in a way that is beneficial for the country -- should not be taken as standing in tension with or superseding Islam. I am sure that has never been Musharraf’s intention.

Finally, Islam does not teach one to put their brains aside and become stupid. The Quran itself teaches us, for example, to act intelligently under various circumstances. To give an example, during a battle, if the enemy happens to be in a much stronger position, we are not to just go to war trusting Allah and hoping we will win. Instead, a strategically withdrawal is permitted, to plan, and then to re-launch an attack. Of course, throughout this process one is to maintain trust in Allah and pray for victory. But that does not entail acting outright dumb and taking a crazy course of action which is tantamount to suicide.

So ABSOLUTELY YES: you HAVE TO plan, make yourself financially strong, establish new policies and critically review existing policies etc. All of this MUST be accomplished. Now again, this does not mean not trusting Allah, or putting faith aside. It just means trusting Allah AND using the brain He has given us for the betterment of our community. Without striving and making an effort to change our condition, we cannot go an inch forward.

And please do look at Islamic history because you will see that the early Muslims DID use force, make policies, conquered lands, created wealth etc. This has ALWAYS occurred in Islamic history. Any introductory course book on Islamic history for the undergraduate level will make this amply clear to you.]
