Sharif has landed in Pakistan today amid a heroes reception and it was a jubilant return for this ex-prime minister, indeed. The last time he returned, Pakistan and by that I mean President elect[alleged] Musharraf had him deported back to Riyadh and Sharif had to leave Pakistan in tears and disappointment. But this time around, there was no deportation and Sharif was allowed to enter Pakistan.
The query that is doing the rounds is why on earth did Musharraf make the situation even more dicey for him and his regime? The answer lies in the saying,' keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer'. With both Sharif and Bhutto in Pakistan, Musharraf will be keenly watching the two of them to see if they cause any infractions with the machinery of the law in Pakistan. And if they do so, that is all Musharraf will need top take action against the two of them. Many say that Musharraf has allowed Sharif to reenter Paksitan and that he could not forever keep Sharif out of there forever. This way at least Musharraf will know what Sharif is up to every minute of the day and if he steps out of line, then Musharraf will have all the cause he needs to wipe out Shairf once and for all!
