We speak better English than Indians: Musharraf

Hi, Isn't it funny to hear that. Everybody knows how many people from Pakistan can speak english and we are seeing from their cricketers. This is really a stupid statement right? Indo-Asian News Service Washington, September 23 Asserting "we speak better English than the Indians", Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf said that the trend of outsourcing jobs to India from the US was soon going to change. Musharraf, who came here Wednesday for five hours to launch the Congressional Caucus on Pakistan, told a crowd of Pakistani Americans that his country was changing, its image was changing and the trend of outsourcing jobs to India should also change with that "because we speak better English than the Indians". This caused a lot of laughter in the audience in which the president also joined. He said the "new" Pakistan, which was seeking to project itself as a moderate, progressive nation where violence and fundamentalism had no place, was characterized by the rise of hope and all Pakistanis should be proud of that. He urged them to stand up for Pakistan and counter criticism, "even if it (criticism) is right" - his remarks again evoking much laughter. Musharraf also promised to build the world's tallest building in Pakistan and regretted that the country had not won a single medal at the Athens Olympics.
