By Salman Mugsi • Jul 3rd, 2008 • Category: Politics

It’s just matter of time before the unnatural coalition of Pakistan Democratic Alliance goes down the drain. Both PPP and PML-N have already drawn the guns and are about to fire. Last bits of sweeteners are being scantily sprinkled by some hopefuls, but there is very remote chance of revival.
After showing it’s stern differences over […]

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Category: Politics

Asif Ali Zardari is doing a commendable job of facilitating and addressing the core issues of the biggest province of Pakistan, the Balochistan.

Akhtar Mengal Should Change Himself Too

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • May 11th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

It was good to release Balochistan National Party (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal. When Asif Ali Zardari could be given pardon of his looting of billions of dollars, then why not Akhtar Mengal for abducting two security personals.
