It is said contempt proceeding will boost the popularity of the PPP and Gilani’s crime is nothing compared to what happened on Nov. 3 and May 12. State Institutions are jealously and possessively, orbiting on their axis, like stellar bodies in our solar system, without regard to the more important movement that keeps them moving [...]

It was a common knowledge in Punjab that Pakistan People’s [...]

Picard: Come back! Make a difference!
Kirk: I take it the odds are against us and the situation’s grim.
Picard: You could say that.
Kirk: If Spock were here, he’d say that I was an irrational, illlogical human being for going on a mission like this… Sounds like fun!

By Inam R Sehri • Jan 19th, 2012 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Today, on 16th January 2012, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued contempt of the court notice to the sitting Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr Gilani for not implementing the SC’s judgment on NRO originally announced on 16th December 2009.

After Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shahnawaz Bhutto, Murtaza Bhutto, and Benazir Bhutto the Pakistan People’s Party has got another martyr to claim.

Zardari Wants Gilani to Stay, Gilani Wants to Quit

By Maria Sultan • Jan 16th, 2012 • Category: Politics

Between the sea and the hard rock describes the condition of the premier Yousuf Raza Gilani right now. Armchair Bolsheviks and sofa warriors are jumping crazily as they are anticipating resignation of premier Gilani who wants to quit and imploring Zardari to give him the way out.

By Umer Toor • Jan 15th, 2012 • Category: Politics

I am amazed at the distortion of the facts by a specific section of media which just wants the PPP government to quite from the rule, no matter what and no matter how. With the high court decision of six pack options, everyone of those yellow journalist is smirking with the glee that now government [...]

Only People Can Oust People’s Party

By Umer Toor • Jan 14th, 2012 • Category: Politics

What is it with the military that it abhors the Pakistan People’s Party so much? I mean what’s wrong with it? Haven’t they have it enough by murdering two of heads of PPP?
First they hung Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and then killed his daughter, the two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. They also dislodged the [...]
