The general speaks out!
The former general and president of the republic and presently an MP and important partner of the grand-alliance government wrote a column in this newspaper on 16 June, 2010, which is a must read for everybody who has curiosity about the politics and development of the country. The ex-general has said a lot of things, from politics, his harassment, development activities undertaken by him to the present condition of the country. Since these are his personal views, so I do not have anything to say or protest except that part which I personally witnessed and was somehow responsible for.
The claim of not allotting him the 1st class status in the jail is not true, so is the denial of other facilities he deserved to get as per the jail code. He was always treated with due respect beyond his allotment or even on his will. If he challenges my claim, he can write it in this paper point-blank. I am ready to give the usual lists of services he got during his jail days.
