How Musharaff Became India's PM (Little bit long but intersting )

Al Qaeda stages a military coup in Pakistan. Promises to hang Musharaff for
talking peace with India. Pervez Musharaff asks for American help. America
is caught up in its presidential elections. UK doesn't want to help too, as
election is due anytime. So the US president requests India to help
Musharaff. Not wanting to antagonise America, India provides shelter to
Musharaff. Al Qaeda labels Musharaff as a traitor.

Musharaff is flown to India. Is provided a high security home in Shimla by
the Government of India. He praises India sky high for helping him in his
hour of need. He becomes the toast of Indian Media. Musharaff loves the
adulation.

John Kerry wins the US election. Decides to withdraw troops from Iraq and
Afghanistan. Talks of leaving Al Qaeda alone as long as they don't impede
peace in the western world.

Musharaff sees no scope of returning to Pakistan. So decides to stay put in
India. Champions the cause of democracy, liberal thinking and peace in TV
debates, press interviews and conferences.

In recognition of his work of being the sole voice of dissent against Al
Qaeda, the Nobel Prize committee awards him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Yesterday's military man becomes the new poster boy for peace. Musharaff
profusely thanks India for it. Showcases India as the next big melting pot
from all international fora. Becomes the darling of the Indian media.

Delhi Outlook Magazine does a cover story on him titled 'The Indian Ataturk'
in which Musharaff expresses his desire to become an Indian citizen. Al
Qaeda is livid. Issues a fatwa against Musharaff for this act of treachery.
The clamour grows for granting him citizenship.

The Government of India clarifies that like all foreign citizens, he will be
granted citizenship only after 10 years of residence in India.

Musharaff declares 'if that be the case, i will wait for a few more years.'

Exactly 10 years after his defection to India, Musharaff becomes a legal
citizen of India.

Pervez Musharaff's popularity soars. Political parties like Samaj Party,
RJDI and BSPI woo him to join their party. Musharaff gives in. Joins Samaj
Party. Contests the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from the very rural Etawah in
Uttar Pradesh. Wins elections with a thumping majority.

The 2014 Lok Sabha elections throw up a hung parliament. Samaj Party holds
the key with 60 seats. Forms a rainbow coalition with all the ' leftist and
other progressive forces' in India. And stakes claim to run India. Pervez
Musharaff, being the most distinguished gentleman, is automatically elected
as the Leader of the Samaj Party in Parliament.

The President of India, invites the 'Progressive Front' to form the
government. Samaj Party, by virtue of being the single largest party in the
coalition, gets to decide who's Prime Minister. Samaj Party announces Pervez
Musharaff as the Prime Minister.

There are mild roars of protest across India. Leftists point out that 'if a
foreigner named Sonia Gandhi could be Prime Minister in 2004, why not Pervez
Musharaff?'

The Hindu South writes a stirring editorial in support of Musharaff saying
'respect the people's verdict'

NDTVI argues that by electing Musharaff, India will be getting its first
Nobel prize winning Prime Minister.

A stunned and silent India accepts Musharaff as its Prime Minister
