A very famous Irish Soldier, Thomas Francis Meagher said...
"The treason of which I stand convicted loses all its guilt, has been sanctified as a duty, and will be ennobled as a sacrifice."#Musharraf #MusharrafVerdict

Actor Shaan Shahid called Musharraf “a true Pakistani and a brave soldier,” who cannot be called a “traitor.”

A sad day indeed .. when a patriot is called a traitor. #PervezMusharraf you sir will always be our patriot . A true Pakistani a brave soldier and son of the soil. #pakarmyZindabad .

After #Musharraf verdict, Will PML N & our SUPER INTELLECTUALS now apologise for their allegations abt Judiciary being Establishment's puppet when Nawaz's verdict came out?

We live in a country where a man convicted for looting billions is given a safe passage to London while a former COAS who fought for Pakistan is given death sentence. You may have political differences with him but he can be anything but traitor. #Musharraf sahab we are with u.

On the other hand, Pakistani rapper and comedian Ali Gul Pir, said the judiciary must be respected and the military should keep its “anguish” to itself.

Hum kerain toh ghadaar, tum kero toh "he can never be a traitor"
Hum kerain toh we must respect the judiciary, tum kero toh "decision bring anguish" #2Laws1Country
