WEST first

Musharraf’s lifting of ban the on GEO television channel just before he embarked on his uninvited visits to EU heads of states make his claims, of liberating the media, baseless. Musharraf never freed the media for the love of the country, had that been the case he would not have ever banned them. Now the question arises why did he lift the ban. For obvious reasons he lifted the ban to appease his EU and US counterparts and to have their support and blessings in another round of rigged elections. That clearly shows Musharraf’s motives.
