Imran Prime Minister, Musharraf Opposition Leader

By Maria Sultan • Jan 12th, 2012 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

So our kingmakers are ready for yet another experiment in the land of the pure. General Kayani and Shuja Pasha haev also made up their minds; well almost. General Kayani is an ardent fan and follower of Professor Rafiq Akhtar of Gujjar Khan, who also happens to be the guru of Imran Khan and his [...]



Bazaar-e-Corruption

By Rohail Butt • Dec 3rd, 2011 • Category: Politics

Every container becomes tightly packed with what is put into it, except for the container of Zardari, for surely it expands. It is common knowledge in Islamabad that if you want to win any big contract from any of the government ministry or institute you have to give commission to the front-man of Zardari, and [...]



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 [...]



MQM Fish Returns to Water of Rule

By Salman Mugsi • Oct 5th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Sharam tum ko magar nahin atee.
Ok here is the quiz for you:
How many times did the MQM leave and join government?
Remember this MQM once left the government over the hike in petroleum prices, and then left the government over the load shedding and then left government over blah, and every time they rejoined?
Now just 2 [...]



Focus on Next General Elections

By amicus • Jul 18th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Even if early polls are not held, the present assemblies will stand dissolved near the end of March 2013.
The political parties have started waking up to the reality and begun bracing for the polls.
It would be a good exercise to indulge in guesswork about the options available to different political parties and their likely strategy [...]



Aftershocks of AJK Elections in Pakistan

By Ali Yar Khan • Jun 30th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Over confidence kills and that is what has happened with the Zardari-led PPP government in Pakistan. They took their allies for granted and thought that MQM would return once again after raising hue and cry over the blatant rigging and manipulation in the recently held Kashmir elections, but MQM has other designs and assurances from [...]



Angels on Move Again in Pakistan Politics

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Jun 29th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

For MQM government is what water is for the fish. Their outright and sudden gushing out of the government is the loud and clear signal that the days of the government of PPP are numbered and the nation should brace itself or the early elections, so much early that this government might not be here [...]



Marvi Memon Raising Her Rate After Resign

By Sharafat • Jun 22nd, 2011 • Category: Politics

Marvi Memon is the daughter of Nisar Memon, a minister in the sinister government of Pervaiz Musharraf, the smelly dictator of Pakistan not so long ago. During Musharraf era, and then during the interim era, and then during the long three years, Marvi Memon emerged as the political leader in the talk shows from the [...]



Purpose of PML-Q

By Rohail Butt • May 22nd, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

The very reason why the Chaudhrys of Gujrat need the support of PPP for their survival has been underlined once again as the broken-up splintered factions of PML-Q are forcing more dents into the battered PML-Q, the party which was hatched by the former dictator Musharraf in the earlier days of this century.
With Sheikh Rashid, [...]



PML-Q and MQM Sold Out For Ministeries

By Salman Mugsi • May 11th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

In this new setup in this present government, eighteen people are those who were the part of Musharraf regime. It seems that this is the regurgitation of Mushar-ruffian era. It seems that the NRO is being completed by the establishment. When Osama was killed and picked by the US Navy seals, our agencies were busy [...]
