By Haris Hashmi • Apr 30th, 2011 • Category: Politics

The long life dream of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has almost fullfilled at last. Pakistan People’s Party has given so much to PML-Q, which is far much greater than the numbers of PML-Q in the parliament. The biggest development is the appointment of the Pervaiz Elahi as the first deputy prime minister of Pakistan.

LAHORE: law emerges higher than the high-rises

By Qudrat Ullah • Jan 13th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif of Punjab is an unpredictable man with great vigor and a substantiated strength of innovative potentials; especially when the issue of merit and rule of law surfaces, he forgives no body.

By Rohail Butt • Jul 15th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Like-minded group and their activities aside, a very interesting point in the whole dirty saga of the lota league is the obvious personal enmity of Kashmala Tariq against Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Pervaiz Elhai. I was watching the press conference of Humayun Akhtar Khan, another lota-then-lota of Q-league, and he had to put the lid [...]



Humayun Akhtar versus Pervaiz Elahi : Dirt and Mud Dances

By Fatima Tassaduq • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Politics

It was quite amusing to watch Humuyun Akhtar Khan, a rich son of a late general sitting with the beautiful Kashmala Tariq doing a press conference, perhaps his first serious press conference during his drawing room political career. He was hurling mud at the Chaudhry Brothers of Gujrat, who are hell bent at carrying on [...]

By Shayan Khan • Jun 20th, 2009 • Category: Politics

It was pretty mush amusing to watchout Moonis Elahi, the son of former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi clashing with the Zulfikar Khosa in the Punjab Assembly. Chaudhry Moonis Elahi of the PML-Q and Sardar Zulfiqar Ali Khan Khosa of the PML-N exchanged heated words during the PA session. Tension was diffused when Deputy Speaker [...]

People’s Party and Qaatil League

By Rohail Butt • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Politics

It seems that the alliance of Pakistan People’s Party and PML(Q) is on the cards. The joint venture of PML(N) and PPP has run out of steam and one has to hand it over to their top lot that they have tolerated each other for a long time. One year in the politics is a [...]

By Salman Mugsi • Sep 3rd, 2008 • Category: Politics

I never knew why Ardsher Cowasjee, the renowned veteran columnist of Dawn newspaper, always called Altaf Hussain ,the head honcho of MQM, the “Pir of London”, until I hear the blessed statements of Mushahid Hussain, the presidential candidate from PML-Q from Nine Zero, the dreaded headquarter of MQM.
