Episode 43: October 12, 1999

Zaib is found reminiscing about the fate-changing day from the 20th century that continues to bear fruit for what holds for Pakistan in the 21st Century. The day when Nawaz Sharif's government was overthrown by the Military establishment at the time led by General Pervez Musharraf.

Zaib talks about the day when he heard about the coup, his life, and memories under the regime and then talks about the implications of constitutional punishments concerning coups vs. providing rights to the people (or lack thereof).

Also just going to add a quote of Musharraf on the 12th when he got off that flight which could have potentially crashed

"I saved a life today, my own... Am I a hero?..........

I really can't say, but yes."

 

Enjoy!
