Twitter was flooded with memes, jokes and happiness as former Pakistani President and the mastermind of the Kargil War that Pakistan waged against India in 1999, passed away in Dubai at the age of 79. It was Musharraf who encouraged infiltration in Kashmir and increased the cross-border terrorism.
That most Indians did not hold Musharraf, the person responsible for terror attacks on Indian soil and deaths of thousands of Indians, in high regards is no secret. Soon after the news of his demise poured in, Indian memers got to work and flooded social media with jokes on him.

Some even brought in the current economic crisis of Pakistan and said how Musharraf might have wished for death before such unprecedented crisis in Pakistan and it might have come true.
musharraf takes "ye sb dekhne (pakistan ki kangali) se pehle main mrr kyu nhi gya" seriously ??
