By Haris Hashmi • Sep 26th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Obduration, stubborness and obstination is the hallmark of the top men in Pakistan. They are thrown out of their offices with disgust, or they complete their terms in the face of public insults and yet they always remain hell bent on coming back to power.
More than anywhere else, this display of shamelessness is evident in [...]



Garbage in Judiciary’s Backyard

By Rohail Butt • Aug 11th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Why we hate Musharraf so much? Because he polluted the institutions to his own requirement and to make his grip upon the levers of power more tight. But that is what a tinpot dictator is supposed to do. Otherwise he willl be lynched by the people.

Ex De facto chief justice of Pakistan, Abdul Hameed Dogar is made up of the same skin of which Zardari is hatched. Abdul Hameed Dogar belongs to that old school of people in Pakistan who are refusing to accept the change.

Prime Minister Mr Yousaf Raza Gilani has offered PML(N) to sit and talk to resolve the political crises and the basis for the talks would be Charter of Democracy (COD).
It is a good gesture applauded countrywide. Management of PML(N) generally have regards for the personality Mr Prime Minister has. But in my view this [...]

Shame on these judges! Who have crossed the limits of swearing before qoran, witnessing prophet as observer and under oath to defend constitution without personnel motive of material, desire and objects?



Zardari-Dogar versus Nawaz-Shahbaz

By Ali Yar Khan • Feb 27th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

What else you could expect from Zardari? The truth is that the man hasn’t yet believed that he has become the president of Pakistan, the country he so lavishly looted.
It’s also a blessing in disguise for the Nawaz Sharif and his brother and for their whole party. Their popularity graph is already soaring due to [...]
