Although it is yet to be proved whether memogate scandal cooked by the personal cabinet of President Zardari for their treachorous act, asking the US government to demonize Pakistani armed forces and risking the national security is true or false but it has done one thing; it has brought Pak Military, government, Judiciary and the [...]

In his celebrated column Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan mentioned that 16th December, 1971 was the day when we as a nation must have learned some ever-lasting lessons, but we didn’t.
