By amicus • May 20th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

That general elections were held despite all odds is itself a great achievement. Things appeared too uncertain until General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani made it absolutely clear in his address at the GHQ on the occasion of the Martyrs’ Day on April 30 that “Allah willing, General Elections would be held in the country on 11th [...]

By Farooq Cheema • May 19th, 2013 • Category: Politics

We all know, media whether print, electronic or social, plays an instrumental role in carving out public opinion in any democratic system. In the past, we have seen how media jolted even some of the world’s most powerful governments by publicizing their scandals and leaking out state secrets. Occasionally media’s role has also come under [...]

By Sahrish Khizar • May 17th, 2013 • Category: Politics

The day of 11th May is proved to be the memorable day in the political history of Pakistan. In national elections, the enthusiasm of entire nation has been amazingly praiseworthy. Pakistan Muslim League (N) and PTI both deserved to be congratulated. Not only that, but their leaders and workers also deserved congratulations. Certainly the change [...]

Votes Never Bring Change Khan Sahib

By Shahid Mursaleen • May 16th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

By now this should be clearly dawned on the supporters of change that all this electioneering and balloting is a smoke screen, a deception and a farce and is a tool to block the change, instead of bringing it. It’s sad to see the upright, honest, and clean person like Imran Khan falling for this [...]

By Rohail Butt • May 15th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf’s tsunami has only come in the posh areas of the Lahore and Pindi. In KPK, the voters give chance to everyone and now coincidentally it was PTI’s turn as all others were given chance earlier. Besides it wasn’t a thumping majority there too, as the mandate was shared by many parties. Anyways, it’s [...]

The virtual world is the cruel place, more cruel than the real world. Lately many bubbles born in virtual world of social media have burst in Pakistan. What’s happening in Chak Shahzad now? Very surprisingly nobody on the media is talking about what former President Pervaiz Musharraf is thinking right now incarcerated at his home.

PTI Needs to Learn to Accept Defeat Gracefully

By Tazeen • May 13th, 2013 • Category: Politics

It’s not end of the world and its not the last elections in Pakistan. I am thoroughly disappointed by the reaction shown by the Tehrik-e-Insaaf supporters on the social media. It seems they themselves don’t have any idea what they are saying, and its all hue and cry. They have genuine complaints about MQM’s conduct [...]



Start for Nawaz Sharif

By Rohail Butt • May 13th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Foreboding, fore-warnings, and hostilities are already there as PML-N gets ready to take the reigns of the country into its hands. PML-N is not lucky enough to enjoy the start of its tenure as PPP did five years before. Everyone was on PPP’s side in order to pull the country out of chaos and work [...]
