Description
At a market in Islamabad, Pakistanis on the streets remain deeply divided over Pakistan's exiled former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who died in a Dubai hospital on Sunday aged 79 after a long illness. Many point to the low inflation and economic development during his time as leader, with shopkeeper Muhammad Khan insisting Musharraf "was an honest person and his government was good." Others, however, point to the general's disregard for the rule of law. "There was good in him, but his one act, which will be remembered throughout history, was he violated the constitution," the retired civil servant adds. "The most important thing a country has is its constitution." The general twice suspended the constitution and was accused of rigging a referendum shoring up his power, as well as rampant rights abuses including rounding up opponents. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
