General Musharraf; A Terrible Liability

By Aftab Alam • Apr 19th, 2013 • Category: Politics

Pakistani Armed Forces are of course our pride but what the ridiculous many blunders some of the top brass, particularly General Yahya, General Ziaul Haq and General Pervaiz Musharraf have committed that’s the unprecedented stigma on our national forehead.
Justice is inescapable and so justice was after General Musharraf but he had managed to push it [...]

To give a positive & practical reply to ‘them’ & their blasphemy let adopt the Divine Term; Muslim and shun all the manmade sectarian prefixes & suffixes; Deobandi, Bralvi, Shariati, Tariqati, Sunni, Shiite, Sipah Sahaba, Sipah Mohammad, Lashkari & blah blah!!!

I am a very plain Lawyer hailing from the far-flung area Swat & have been a diehard enthusiast of independent judiciary; I therefore submit most respectfully in the same plainly manner that Babar Awan’s License may please be restored honorably.
He is already victim of internal intrigues in the party for a considerable period; he [...]

United Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan

By Aftab Alam • Aug 18th, 2012 • Category: Lead Story

I say it’s still the worst ignorance of many who are thinking that Taliban are simply reacting or they are just defending themselves and that they do not having any agenda to be pursued in Pakistan or somewhere else.
In fact, as political workers having been despaired by their political leaders in Pakistan, similarly Taliban (viz [...]

Long live Pak Armed Forces

By Aftab Alam • Apr 16th, 2012 • Category: Politics

The tragic incidence happened in Gayari sector, Siachen Pakistan, is no doubt a heartbreaking one. But this does not imply to blame Pak Armed Forces therefor. Doing so is more tragic than the tragic incident and amounts to scratching the wounds of our Armed Forces. Nonetheless our pseudo & ignorant intellectuals are doing the same!!!

What I am going to disclose is not hearsay it’s my own tale. After having been freed from the stress of SSC examination in 1972 I was free and planning to leave for some place far away from my locality, for I was lover of lovely & lonely places. It was at this stage that [...]



Qisas; Eye for Eye is the Only Way Out

By Aftab Alam • Mar 9th, 2012 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

In reply to new law against the acid throwers - 14 years punishment for acid throwers is a farce; it has no deterrence and no punishment woks if it is lacking deterrence. Islamic punishments are excellent for having extraordinary deterrence. And the lowest crime rate in Saudi Arabia is a living example!!!
“In the Law of [...]



Spot-Justice - To take the Terrorists to Task

By Aftab Alam • Feb 23rd, 2012 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Terrorism is our key concern of course, which has always been a very complicated disease. So I as a practicing lawyer can express plainly that those who are of the view that accused of terrorism can be punished by courts, are either naive or nasty. Arresting of terrorists & sending the case files to courts [...]
