PML-Q Starts Blackmailing Zardari Too

By Salman Mugsi • Oct 31st, 2011 • Category: Politics

It was quite amusing to see when a PML-Q delegation recently visited the Al-Murtaza House before visiting Ghari Khuda Bukhsh and offered its condolence to PPP-SB chief Ghinwa Bhutto.
Everybody knows that Zardari hates that family as they are the real heirs of the Bhutto legacy, and Zardari’s biggest nightmare is Sanam and Bhutto [...]

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.

Change, Freedom & Social Justice!

“Just a few years ago, a powerful ideology – the belief in free and unfettered markets – brought the world to the brink of ruin.  Even in its heyday…American-style de-regulated capitalism brought greater material well-being only to the very richest in the richest countries.”

Commision of Abbottabad Operation and PNS is Smoke Screen

By Haris Hashmi • Jun 2nd, 2011 • Category: Politics

It’s beyond my comprehension as why we (read media) is insisting on the formation of commission on the recent crisis of Abbottabad operation and the attack on the PNS Mehran. Just imagine that a commission is formed and it carries out its investigations, then what? Will they produce its findings to the public and will [...]



PMLN Has No Future

By Umer Toor • May 31st, 2011 • Category: Politics

With Imran Khan rising in the Punjab province very rapidly and with MQM increasing their presence in all the Punjabi cities, PML N stands on the backfoot.
Above all, most importantly, the shrewdness of President Zardari has punctured the wheels of PML-N and has pulled the earth from under the feet of their allies like unification [...]

He has now come forward [...]



I’m not confused, I’m just well mixed.

By Tauqeer Abbas • Oct 13th, 2010 • Category: Politics

One wonders why Nawaz Sharif himself not really replying Musharraf and appears powerless to give a befitting reply to the mocking by Pervez Musharraf. It seems that Nawaz Sharif is confused and has nothing to say. ‘‘Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on Monday issued a charge-sheet, terming Pervez Musharraf a most corrupt, callous, immoral and ruthless ruler [...]
