Now given the post 9/11 rise in property prices, imagine how much more that land would be worth.

And finally when he did pay wealth tax in 1999-2000 on his assets worth much more than Rs 30-40 million in the market (or over half a million US dollars), he coughed up only Rs 710 or $12.



The information from the PPP's document above eliminates the need for speculation - it confirms that Musharraf's property holdings were more than enough to finance the 30 million rupee purchase of his new house in 2003.
I wonder why he lied in his speech calling himself a 'middle class' ka admi. I think he should join the MQM, seriously, he fits right in there with the other thugs.







I know peace begins with me, with all I feel and with all I see. And I know it's no easy task removing our own fearful masks, but I have seen us rise and fall, stand on the moon, tear down the wall
