Shameless
By Talal Hussain Malik • Oct 30th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 7 CommentsIT is this country we live in. It is unfortunate for our hapless nation to have a ruling class which is without a conscience, indifferent to the pain that the masses are going through. When the masses were shedding tears over the Peshawar massacre, our leaders were busy welcoming Hillary with smiling faces. No matter with what ideals the USA arranged for Hillary’s visit, I don’t see any positive change in the peace situation in our country as its aftermath.
To fight terrorism we need much more than just arsenal and foreign aid be it in any form. Above all we need to realize our responsibilities. A sleeping conscience will never come to know the feeling of pain and would show an indifferent attitude just like our leaders gave example of recently.
Answering questions at a meeting she said, ‘This is not your fight alone… You’re standing on the frontlines of this battle but we are standing with you.’ Thats wrong lady, the front line comprises only our people, our common lot, our innocent people. 9/11 rocked your nation but the after shocks have put our system into shambles.
The unfortunate aspect however is that whereas the 9/11 incident had the Americans up on their toes, we still have not done enough despite going through several tragedies far greater than that one. Unless we act as required we shall not be able to get rid of the sphynx killing the innocent.

Shameless indeed.Not the country but the ruling elite.The country’s paying for this shamelessness.
Shame less is very small word for such satanic characters,Our word masters of TPS should find some suitable word for such creatures that fit with their extreme dishonesty and incompetence as such.

When the struggle for Indian independence began in earnest in the 1920’s, the leadership rested mainly with Hindus — especially Gandhi, whose philosophy was egalitarian, secular and nationalist. In the 1930’s, the Muslim League began agitating for a separate Muslim homeland, but power within the league rested with Mohammed Ali Jinnah, an elitist, British-educated Bombay lawyer with a taste for expensively-tailored suits and little affinity for the common man. He would become Pakistan’s founding father.
Many of those who gathered around Jinnah were from the feudal landowning class, and tribal leaders. With scant interest in democracy, their concerns centered more on the protection of their ancestral privileges.
Enough with the Pakistan gravy train from the US! I as an American female (who lived in PK for years and has visited many times since) am *fed* up with the wretched ingrates taking my money and not doing the needful with it. Everyone in Pakistan has their hand out. Namely you took our money - my taxpayers money, my blood sweat and tears - and put it into weapons and arms to throttle at India and the rest was put into the pockets of you know who. Not a single Rupee spent to help the poor and the masses and - worse yet - not a single Rupee was spent on fighting and cleaning out the Al Qaeda who killed 3000 of my citizens in one go and who are now killing your citizens and who have been hiding in plain sight in your country for what, like almost 10 years now?? And please spare me - if you want to go on in denial of who is behind the attacks, do I really need to explain that the CIA or Blackwater/Xe isn’t remotely interested in blowing up your mosques or your girl schools or especially your Marriot hotels! (we got married in one of those, in fact) If you want the US out then please put up or shut up, and stop eating out of my hand already! And when the Taliban takes over your country your women can taste Taliban like never before! They way they treated my Secretary of State, you’d think they almost wanted it! - angry umereekun

This is really form of true and immortal love .

You are not wrong whenever the formation of sister organizations demanded from major company there are always hidden interests of influential groups to get control of company as per desires.
But with good intention that newly born sister organizations can take lead on orginal company by giving opportunity to negelcted class by earlier management.
So there is no harm in division but I accept failures to some extent and in few fields in this partition that are being dangerously concentrated if not corrected .
Really? What do you need to fight terrorism? I’m sure you, in your long stint as a political expert, must know. For God’s sake. Be realistic and quit the blame game and derogatory expression. It’s so damn easy to blame the ‘indifferent attitude’ of the leaders. How about the constant backlash of grossly inaccurate harsh criticism and lack of support from the people?!
