Musharraf hints at entering politics 

CHITRAL, 16 Mar 10: Former President General Pervez Musharraf has shown keenness to enter politics and his colleague Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif has registered the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) for the same purpose says a news report. 

General Musharraf came to power through a Military coup in 1999 on the pretext that things were not right in Pakistan and that he would set them right. However when he exited in 2008, he left the country in a worse state with the addition of terrorism to Pakistan's menu of woes.

General Musharraf though may have failed on the national and international fronts, but in Chitral he is considered a hero who dug the Lowari Tunnel for Chitralis. People who pass through the tunnel these winters involuntarily raise their hands in prayers for him.

Pervez Musharraf though is popular in the whole of Chitral district, is particularly popular in the Mastuj sub division for promptly ordering construction of the Shandur road, Mastuj bridge and other projects which would  have never been possible through normal process. --(CN report)
