Mad Mirza

By Tabish Siddiqui • Nov 24th, 2011 • Category: Politics

We are a strange bunch of people. When during Ramadan, Karachi was burning and people were dying, all were worried about the peace, and now when Zulfikar Mirza madly tries to flame Karachi in London, people are just enjoying his wallowing in the mud.
The holy month of Ramadan, supposedly a time of piety, had only [...]



Zardari Got New Life As Haqqani Resigns?

By Haris Hashmi • Nov 24th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

If there was nothing in this memo scandal and Mansoor Ijaz is a liar, then why the resignation of Haqqani was approved? Why Haqqani came running over like a frantic duck and was trying to cleanse his laundry in every nook of Islamabad? What was the pressure from the Aabpara and Mall Road?
Husain Haqqani was [...]



Mirza Defaming Pakistan In UK

By Tabish Siddiqui • Nov 21st, 2011 • Category: Politics

First I completely fail to understand as how come the prestigious Oxford University can allow a minion like Zulfikar Mirza address the students? What is the qualification and education and any other achievement of Zulfikar Mirza that he got that chance? To my utter horror, he is carrying on going to different institutions and oozing [...]



Bhanda Phoot Gaya ; Mirza and Zardari Link Established

By Tabish Siddiqui • Nov 17th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Do you think that MQM never knew and we were so naive that we couldn’t add 2 and 2 together? Do you really think that we are like that foolish Nawaz Sharif, who has been deceived umpteenth time by the Asif Ali Zardari and his companions in the name of democracy?
No sir, we have known [...]



Let’s Drink, Yar Aay Na Aay

By Faiza Iqbal • Nov 16th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Only one public meeting has pulled the earth under the feet of those who were hoping yet another era of dirty politics and corruption. Aspirants of lucrative jobs, companions of darkness, and harbingers of sycophancy have got a lifetime shock as they are watching their Noon League becoming Alif Noon, and the rising sun of [...]



Time for Nawaz Sharif to Retire

By Salman Mugsi • Nov 15th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Politics is the name of deceit and tricks and dishonesty, at least that is the case in Pakistan and our President Zardari excels in that game, hands down. MQM chief Altaf Hussain is another player too, but he is more of a mafia man rather than a politician. Zardari kills the enemy without firing a [...]



Zardari Mirza Notanki

By Jalal Ahmad • Nov 14th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Mirza and Zardari soap opera has reached new heights in recent days. Fierce it may look but it is just a good guy bad guy routine.
Zardari risked losing the entire nationalist vote in Sindh by his unrelenting commitment to alliance with MQM. And he had a scare when Sindhi nationalists gathered a storm in response [...]



PML-N Cornered

By Rohail Butt • Oct 31st, 2011 • Category: Politics

I guess it ends the principled politics from the Nawaz Sharif. He is impossible to go on from here saving the democracy and not toppling the PPP government. If he does that, he is finished forever. Already, sadly enough, he has learned there is no use of a positive opposition and those who do it [...]



Showdown Starts

By Ali Yar Khan • Oct 30th, 2011 • Category: Politics

It seems that the days of political peace have at last ended in the country and as the main opposition party PMLN decides to come on the roads and starts attacking the government, things have started boiling everywhere.
President Zardari’s investment in MQM, ANP, and PMLQ is now being tested. For now, MQM and PMLQ are [...]



Storm in a Teacup?

By amicus • Oct 30th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Mian Shahbaz Shareef was high on pitch and the rhetoric,less on substance or road map. It seemsĀ  PMLN has unlearnedĀ  the art of opposition.It needs to go back to the primer. The first lesson being connecting and forming an alliance with people and parties opposed to the incumbent Zardari led PPP-Coalition Government.
With Shahbaz Sharif kind [...]
