London : Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf says he is grateful to the social networking site Facebook for “collectivising all the support” for him.
Speaking in CNN’s “Connect the World” programme, Musharraf said: “Let me say that analysing the outcome of the Facebook, I knew I had a lot of support, but this support was all dispersed all over the world.”
The former president has tens of thousands of fans on his Facebook page where he regularly answers questions and writes status updates.
“I always thought that dispersed support is weak support; collective support is strong support. So it is the medium of the Facebook which provided the connectivity to collectivise all the support. I mean, that is how I take it.
“So therefore, I am very grateful to the Facebook for collectivising all the support that the — that I have now,” said Musharraf.
