It’s alright to talk about those who desire a public life and it becomes our right to take public figures, especially politicians, under a close scrutiny. This holds for Imran Khan even more as he claims and his followers propagate him being ‘real clean’.

By Rohail Butt • Feb 7th, 2012 • Category: Politics

No matter how much bitter and biggest the critic you are of PML-N and its leadership, if you have an iota of honesty, you would at least admit that the Shahbaz Sharif at least tries hard to overcome his blunders and to service the people of Punjab.

Frenzy of Adiala 11

By Air Cmdre (r) Khalid Iqbal • Feb 6th, 2012 • Category: Politics

The narrative and counter narrative about Ex-Adiala eleven is turning rather mysterious.

It is said contempt proceeding will boost the popularity of the PPP and Gilani’s crime is nothing compared to what happened on Nov. 3 and May 12.

Based on above, one may conclude here, blockade achieved none of the goals set by the establishment except closure of Samsi air base that was under closure anyway then. Blockade hit ordinary Pakistanis more than NATO troops and it reduces analysis of Ansar Abbasi such as “diaper scarcity” to crappy.



Is Imran Khan naive or stupid or both?

By Uza Syed • Feb 5th, 2012 • Category: Politics

Imran Khan is a nice man and sincere to the cause to support and struggle for the rights of the most oppressed and exploited of Pakistan.
