How do you deal with a country that is caught in lie” is a baffling question that David Ignatius raises in his article titled” Pakistan is missing the US message on terrorism” published in Washington Post on May 13th.

Present Corrupt System in Pakistan

By Guest Blogger • May 16th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The rhetoric and oratory of aaein, jamhoriat, qanoon, mafahmat we hear daily from our political leaders is all bullshit. All rules are only for the poors, rich men make them and rich men break and shatter them. We have enough of this drama. Can a dual nationality holder be an MPA or MNA? Can a [...]

By Ali Yar Khan • May 14th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The clamour of criticism in Washington alleging Pakistani duplicity over the fact that the al-Qaeda leader had been hiding out in the garrison town of Abbottabad has put the relations between US and Pakistan in jeopardy and it would take lots of time and efforts to mend these ways, which seem a herculean [...]

Much hue and cry in Pakistan over killing of Osama Ben Laden in Abbotabad on 2nd May’s one sided operation without sharing intelligence with the prime spy agency of Pakistan ISI. It is being taken as attack on sovereignty of an independent nation.

By Asad ur Rehman • May 13th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The 2nd May operation in Abbotabad was a high secret operation and no one else than U.S administration knew that operation is going to be conducted.
