Fraud as legality
April 4, 2021
By July 2007, General Musharraf had started feeling nervous. He felt he needed to reach out and build a good opinion of himself among those with a voice in society beyond the bubble he had come to inhabit.
Several evenings with small numbers of ‘thought leaders’ were arranged around the country. This writer was invited to one. We were allowed to question the general. On my turn, I asked him about his declared intent to contest the election for the presidency while remaining army chief. I reminded him that doing so would be unconstitutional. The general laughed loudly. ‘I will tell my lawyers to scribble something on a piece of paper which I will sign and it will become law and will allow me to do what I intend to do.’ I persisted, ‘That would destroy the spirit of the constitution.’ The general was not going to back off. He responded, ‘I will do something about the spirit too.’
