Give Spanish Award, Win Slavery Back

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Sep 19th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

The image of the security forces of Pakistan got deteriorated very badly after the string of suicide attacks and group attacks throughout Pakistan, and then afterwards the OBL stunt and the Mehran Base attack made the matters worst.

Sipah Salar Kayani and Spanish Military Award

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Sep 17th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The news that our top general has received the highest military award in Spain didn’t really make my day. I was kept thinking about all those innocent civilians who got killed by the NATO bombardment in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria and elsewhere, and I kept thinking about the Gitmo Bay and all this stuff [...]

By A Khokar • Jun 21st, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

All the states in the world, they have their militaries but in Pakistan, its military has a state of its own and is virtually in command and control of its rein.

For two weeks, the apex court of Pakistan deliberated upon the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) cases and it seemed that only one person was under the magnifying glass of the judges.

More than eight thousands people [...]

By Ali Yar Khan • Oct 19th, 2009 • Category: Politics

On 16th March, Zardari forcibly bowed in front of Kayani’s assertion that the chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry should be restored along with other judges, and then on 10th October of the same year, Zardari backed off from his blind support of Kerry Lugar bill.
