Islamabad, March 6: The days of the resounding ‘Go Musharraf Go’ ringtones seem to be over in Pakistan. The latest fad is to host dedicated phone lines which fuel propaganda aimed at hastening President Pervez Musharraf’s ‘exit’.

One such campaign -- “Go Musharraf Go” -- is being run from a dedicated phone line in Lahore. “Musharraf haters” can call in and listen to anti-Musharraf slogans and songs and even record their own messages.

An unknown group in Lahore, which wants to “help save the country”, has launched the phone line for those who want “to hasten the President’s exit”.

A man who identifies himself as Zahir Ahmed Mir welcomes callers to the “Go Musharraf Go” phone line.

“Dial 1 to listen to (top lawyer) Aitzaz Ahsan, dial 2 to listen to anti-Musharraf songs, dial 3 to record your anti-Musharraf message and dial 4 to listen to public opinion about Musharraf,” the recorded message says.

A longish song “Go Musharraf Go” plays out -- “Bachana hai agar mulk ko, to milkar sab bolo go Musharraf go” -- on pressing the digit 2.

The anonymous group has also launched a website “gomusharrafgo.com”, where Pakistanis can log in and share their sentiments about the President.
