By Sher Ali • Oct 20th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Though there are very little chances that the superpower would commit such a folly, but one has to be prepared for such adventure. Majority of the Pakistanis want friendship with the US on common grounds and equal footings, but our rulers have sold us cheap and with degradation.
As soon as the attack would come from [...]

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.

Kerry Lugar Got Carried away

By amicus • Oct 10th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

After President Obama made his policy statement on Afghanistan and Pakistan in March 2009 it was expected that in future the United States would focus more on the need of the people rather than the governments in pursuing US interests in the region and would come up with sustained strategic commitment with Pakistan.
However, no one [...]

By Ch. Naeem Sidhu • May 31st, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Albeit the ground realities do not corroborate the apprehension expressed by Asif Ali Zardari that some unseen forces are making attempts to destabilize the PPP Government and are intending to impose Martial Law yet the international scenario is not favourable for a smooth allowance to a democratic Government in Pakistan. Like the past, Afghanistan [...]



Did ISI ask them to boycott election?

“Voting is one of the few things where boycotting in protest clearly makes the problem worse rather than better”.
Election has finished and once again, some of us forgot all slogans of our leaders before and at the time of election.
This is the reason house arrest of Doctor Abdul Qadeer Khan is completely ignored by PML [...]
