Despite life threats from militant outfits, former president General Pervez Musharraf will show up in Chitral with his trademark style, showing the powerful fist to his opponents once again, making it sure that his love for Pakistan and particularly Chitral is everlasting.
Talking to this correspondent over the phone from Karachi, All Pakistan Muslim League spokesperson Aasia Ishaq said that the fearless commando will land in the valley any time in April to address a mammoth public rally in Chitral as part of his election campaign. "The way people of Chitral love General Musharraf has no equivalent....Musharraf enjoys a special bond with Chitralis...he takes them [Chitralis] in great esteem for their bravery and trustworthiness," she maintained.
When asked about rumour mongers who are out to spread propaganda against the former president, she said: "General sahib is more confident of winning from Chitral than any other popular local leader...he knows the people and their attachment with him". Aasia continued that Musharraf was a leader of international repute, who would change the destiny of Chitral. "The opening of Lowari tunnel is a small feat," she added, and his victory from the valley would usher in a new era of prosperity in the area.
To another question about the doubts of his opponents of winning from Chitral, she said that these were the people who were not aware of his steadfastness and tried their level best to spread rumours that gone are the days when Musharraf used to show his fist.
She continued with her fingers crossed that the opponents of Musharraf have no option now but to chew their nails in disgust. The opponents will find no place to hide when the trustworthy people of Chitral, she added, will ensure his victory from the valley in upcoming election.
