In 1999, Pakistan was very close to be Bank corrupt due to Nawaz Sharif. Pakistan got only about 145 Million USD foreign reserves.
When Musharraf came to power, then he succeeded in increasing the foreign reserves from 145 million USD to 3 Billion USD during his first 3 years (from 1999 to 2001).
Please remember, Musharraf was able to achieve it without the US aid during his first 3 years when the sanctions upon Pakistan continued.
US aid started coming to Pakistan only after US attacked Afghanistan in 2001.
After 2002, Musharraf had to bring the Democracy again in the country. And only politicians who were ready to support him, were Chaudhry brothers, who were also corrupt along with all other politicians. Otherwise, name me the names of the politicians who were not corrupt and Musharraf should have relied upon them?
Musharraf was right in not handing over the country to Zardari/Nawaz. It was not ideal to had Chaudhry brothers in government, but still much better option than Zardari/Nawaz.
Although the progress under Musharraf+Chaudhries was slow from 2002 to 2007, but still Pakistani economy was going towards the positive, and Musharraf was able to pay the Pakistan's foreign Debts (or at least he didn't take such huge debts like Zardai/Nawaz).
During all this period, Imran Khan was busy in pulling the leg of Musharraf.
Imran Khan has a disease of "Only Me".
Imran Khan supported the Mullahs of Lal Mosque, and went to Lal Masjid and delivered a speech there after the Friday prayer, claiming the operation against Lal Masjid to be wrong.
Imran Khan opposed the presence of Pak Army in Swat. He supported that Swat should be handed over to Sufi Muhammad, so that he could start the Nizam-e-Muhammadi there.
As the result of this foolishness of Imran Khan (and other leaders like Zardari/Nawaz), unfortunately Pak Army had to pull it's troops out of Swat, and Taliban were able to take control of whole Swat in next 3 days.
Afterwards, Taliban started killing the innocent civilians of Swat right and left and Taliban were beheading people in the Bazars of Swat and then they started their military campaign in the neighbouring areas too.
Imran Khan showed the nation wrong dreams of streams of milk and honey after the imposition of Nizam-e-Muhammad in Swat. He should accept his mistake. Due to this foolishness, later Army had to start whole operation, due to which 1 million people had to leave their homes and they became internally displaced.
Nation lost Billions of money and thousands of human life due to this foolish decision of Imran/Zardari/Nawaz.
In short, Imran Khan was campaigning that he would even support the governments of Zardari/Nawaz, but Musharraf should go.
Imran Khan finally succeeded in becoming PM of Pakistan. But it seems that it's already too late, and economy has gone so down that Imran Khan has no means to control it.
I wished that Imran Khan would have supported Musharraf right from the beginning and had helped Pakistan to get rid of Zardari/Nawaz at the right time.
