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 [...]

Chashm e Falak Daikhtee hai nazaray kaisay kaisay
Under the carpet, there is lots of dust. In the cupboards of Prime Minister House there are many skeletons ready to rattle. In the backyard of Sajjada Nasheen of Multan, many things remain to be exhumed. But before the bell rings, already many shadows are looming large.
The former [...]



Does the Police have a responsibility too?

By Uza Syed • Jan 27th, 2012 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Using a fake license plate on a vehicle is a crime in all civilized countries including Pakistan. An important function of the traffic police is to ensure that they spot this crime and take action against the offenders. It is embarrassing for me to inform you, that you and your many hundred policemen failed to notice that the prime Minister of Pakistan on 19th January 2012 was driving a vehicle with a fake number plate.



PPP is Seeking Martyrdom!!!

By Aftab Alam • Dec 25th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Our Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, the ‘urban pumpkin’ is seeking martyrdom by suicidal maneuvering!!!
Mr. PM, if you can’t do the least positive for this unlucky country you are PM of, you must not claim the most. If you can’t control even stray dogs, biting the kids with sweeping impunity, history will never forgive either. [...]



Gilani Speaks Truth Abroad

By Tazeen • Nov 2nd, 2011 • Category: Politics

I wish that our leaders would be as outspoken and truthful as they get abroad. Why is that that they adopt different postures at home and different overseas? Maybe they either don’t trust themselves or they don’t trust the masses or they are very much confused.

India isn’t behind every trouble in Pakistan

By Mohsin Sehgal • Aug 9th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Many don’t expect some intelligent talking from our premier but once in a while, the miracle happens. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani made sense when he said that India wasn’t the Frankenstein behind all the woes faced by the Pakistan. He basically deviated from a very comfortable point of view.
In Pakistan and also in India, [...]

Is there any end of corruption by the Prime Minister Yousuaf Raza Gilani and his Pardone Zardari?

The Merry Bar-Bench Marriage

By Nisar Khattak • Jun 10th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Judiciary is the symbol of justice world-wide. It is a hope (though often a disillusion) for the aggrieved to get compensated for the injustices. On a fine morning at Islamabad, the newspapers of 9 June 2011 also served a ‘hope’ with a disclosure that there exists a cordial relationship of mutual respect between bench and [...]
