On the State Dinner with President Pervez Musharraf: It was like a dream come true! To just be part of such an event made me feel that I`ve done something to achieve this. All the biggest dignitaries from both sides of the border were so cultured and down-to-earth. When I was invited, I was disbelieving and overjoyed. I`m really looking forward to going to Pakistan. Let`s see where the invitation comes from. Maybe it will come directly from the Begum (President Musharraf`s wife). They actually want me and Latabai (Lata Mangeshkar) to come to Pakistan!.
- Rani MukherjeeGeneral Musharraf needs my participation to give credibility to the electoral process, as well as to respect the fundamental right of all those who wish to vote for me.
- Al MelansonIt`s true that General Musharraf opposes my return, seeing me as a symbol of democracy in the country. He is comfortable with dictatorship. I hope better sense prevails.
- Al MelansonThe Pakistani government under Musharraf is a strong and key player in the global war on terrorism, and their contribution has been second to none.
