Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf has made a big political gaffe after suggesting a terrorist figure is made an ambassador for biking!
After Taliban leader Mullah Omar escaped from advancing US forces on a Honda motorcycle, Musharraf ‘jokingly’ advised the Japanese prime minister that the terrorist should be made a brand ambassador for the company.
“Once when Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi asked me about Omar’s whereabouts, I told him that Omar had escaped on a Honda motorcyle,” says Musharraf, who then suggested to Koizumi that the “best advertisement for Honda would be an advertising campaign showing Mullah Omar fleeing on one of its motorcycles with his robes and beard flowing in the wind”.
No surprise this suggestion was not taken up…
