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 seems  PMLN has unlearned  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 [...]



Saleem Safi versus Hamid Mir

By Maria Sultan • Oct 27th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The internal politics of the private TV channels is a strange story in itself. The most viewed channel GEO hosts some most popular journalists and the cheap battles and jealousy stories among these anchors and journalists are getting new hype because everyone wants to become number 1.
Saleem Safi and Hamid Mir have gained a new [...]



Get Rid of Altaf Hussain, MQM

By Guest Blogger • Oct 14th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The verdict of Supreme Court and the revelations of the Zulfikar Mirza have provided a golden chance for the peace in Karachi and also for the Muttahida Qaumi Movement to start a new round of politics devoid of any terrorism and killings.
Without any doubt this is the best time for MQM to shun its militant [...]



Drag Altaf Hussain to Pakistan

By Salman Mugsi • Oct 13th, 2011 • Category: Politics

It’s in front of the whole Pakistan that Altaf Hussain spoke against Pakistan bitterly and against the two nation theory in India and that is on record. It is also known by everybody that Altaf Hussain burned the flag of Pakistan on the mausoleum of founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It is also known [...]



Give Pir Pagara New Bride and Solve Sindh Ministries Issue

By Salman Mugsi • Oct 9th, 2011 • Category: Politics

I thought that Pir Sahib Pagara was only interested in marrying but this time courtesy to the conciliatory policy of PPP and somersaults of MQM and PML-Q, we got to know that the Bhaij Pagaro is also fond of keeping the ministries.
During every government of any flavor, like MQM, the functional league of Pagara has [...]



SC: Similar Looks Wanted Please

By Inam R Sehri • Oct 8th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Hats off to the Supreme Court of Pakistan for releasing their decision on the ‘Karachi issue’. It would take some days more to get a comprehensive analysis on this verdict in the light of deliberations made by the concerned political parties and other stake holders. In the meantime, a forgotten page of history from the [...]
