General David Petraeus has said in clear words that the within next few months, the whole war on terror will be fought in the Pakistan. After the severance of CIA and ISI relations, it seems that the United States has decided to take the final action and now its just matter of time.
After Iraq and [...]
The question coined by Abida Hussain is perfectly valid that if drone attacks can be made in Khyber-Pakhtoonkhawa and Balochistan, why cannot they be carried out in southern Punjab? I wholly and whole-hardheartedly believe that where ever are the terrorists, the drone attacks should be used and where the drone attacks fail, nukes [...]
Once again the same loud statements from the federal and provincial government honchos after the terrorism in the city of Lahore. Federal Interior Minister Rehman A Malik said the terrorists could not enervate the government of Pakistan, as it would bear down upon the havoc-wreaking assassins in concert with the entire nation for [...]
George Orwell’s novel “1984″ described a world where ‘war is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ and ‘big brother is watching you’. These Orwellian words truly depict our totalitarian world of today.
When confronted with the dismal record of occupations and interventions, the common gung-ho American refrain nowadays is that history is for losers and that history never [...]
For some days I am wondering about as why the media and some of the government officials are creating hype over the looming terrorism danger in South of the Punjab. They say that the area is teeming with the madaris, the area is backward, very limited education and job / business opportunities, and that some [...]
The Punjab government on Tuesday informed the Supreme Court that it wants to withdraw petition challenging Jammat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed’s release, and the nation stands confused and shocked. Turning a blind eye on JuD leader isn’t going to ensure that no more suicide attacks will happen in the Punjab. One of the reason being [...]
Pervaiz Musharraf weakened the foundations of Pakistan by murdering Nawab Akbar Bugti, and now his most salivating slave, Muhahmmad Ali Durrani is trying to give a second blow to the country by presenting a contrived and fantastic idea at such a time, when unity is needed most among the provinces.
Talking about making Seraiki province out [...]
Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has given a terror shock to the nation by disclosing that more than 5000 terrorists have entered into the South of the Punjab province through D.I. Khan and Mianwali and these terrorists are scattered throughout the area. These terrorists are those who have fled from the Swat and South Waziristan [...]
South Punjab is increasingly a focus of attention. It has been something of a backwater for decades and some may think that little has changed there since the State of Bahawalpur merged into the “One-Unit” in 1955. There has been consistent underinvestment by successive governments; and international NGOs and development agencies have largely ignored it. [...]
On the sidelines of other issues, voices are being heard from the under-developed areas of the provinces about the division of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan into more provinces. That demand is not absurd or preposterous. Countries like Turkey, England, even in India and many others have followed the same pattern and have solved many administrative [...]
