PTI’s Inherent Flaw

By Mohsin Sehgal • Feb 10th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

I have been closely monitoring the political activities lately and still believe that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf holds the credibility and merit as compared to the other political parties of Pakistan like Muslim League and People’s Party.
Where I believe that PTI is still a very good option, or arguably the best come next election, I see a [...]

Nusrat Javed, the host of Bolta Pakistan is right when he says that for the last three days, the name of Najam Sethi is circulating in the power corridors of Islamabad as the next caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan. The clamoring is so much high, that even Najam has took it seriously.

When you see rejected and dejected items like Sheikh Rashid, Sami ul Haq, Munnawar Hassan and plethora of other fishy characters gathered under one umbrella, brandishing to save and defend the Pakistan, you not only get creeps you also just want to puke once again.

Following list is from the Mehran Bank case file which is the part of Asghar Khan petition in the Supreme Court. This list of the beneficiaries of Mehran Bank hasn’t been proved in any court of law yet, but allegedly this is very close to what was distributed by the ISI.



Mitti Pao

By Mohsin Sehgal • Jan 16th, 2012 • Category: Politics

Chaudhry Shujaat Husain’s formula of throwing the things under the carpet and move on is the hallmark of relationships between the power brokers and power dealers in the land of Pakistan. Nobody likes the other, but this marriage of convenience goes on hobbling around.
This government is still there and is likely to stay that way [...]

By Mohsin Sehgal • Jan 12th, 2012 • Category: Politics

Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan could lead the upcoming caretaker set-up and it is learned that almost the whole of opposition including Imran Khan have agreed to that development.

O Fraudiyo

By Mohsin Sehgal • Jan 3rd, 2012 • Category: Politics

Sorry for the slang, but that’s what the voice of the common street-walking Pakistani. He wants to cry out in frustration, anger and pain about everyone incharge of affairs at every level. All’s a fraud in Pakistan, and Pakistanis are not that much gullible anymore.
Pakistan is sinking, people are dying of hunger, institutions are in [...]

By Mohsin Sehgal • Dec 15th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The American citizen Mansoor Ijaz clearly doesn’t want to disembark from the media bandwagon. It seems that he is there with a full blown plan and releasing his snakes one after the another. He has already succeeded to hunt Husain Haqqani and to send Zardari to hospital and now he is after some thing bigger.
In [...]



Nobody Wants to Vote in Pakistan

By Mohsin Sehgal • Nov 27th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Pragmatism and practicality is not something to come by easily in our blessed land. In the impregnable foundation of this Islamic republic, the most available fabric is of rhetoric and claims and mere chat. When it comes to implementation, we budge and become horrified.
These days the buzzword is change and everybody is talking tirelessly for [...]



Get Your Own Home in Order, The Super Ally

By Mohsin Sehgal • Nov 11th, 2011 • Category: Politics

U.S. taxpayers provide more than $2 billion in annual subsidies to the Pakistani military. I feel sorry for them. The unemployment rate in Pakistan is at 15, whereas in US it is nearing 10, and might equalize with Pakistan if US keeps on digging its graveyard in the infamous Afghanistan.
I blame the American masses for [...]
