Long March: Every Step Up-Hill is an Addition in Zardari’s Count Down

By Farid Masood • Mar 14th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

General consensus upon this that President Zardari has not much time to hold the situation in his control neither his regime has time over this year. Every step of long march towards Islamabad is an addition towards his count down. Current problem is that forces controlling Pakistani regime don’t have President Zardari’s replacement.

Mian Brothers’ Disqualification; Need to Defuse Tension?

By Farid Masood • Mar 1st, 2009 • Category: Politics

Main brothers disqualified by the court, consequently government of Punjab dissolved. This decision, like March 9, 2007, shall have a far-reaching impact on national political horizon. This decision has axed the position of Mr President at large because people in general are already against him and such decision would decline his popularity below 14%. [...]

The change which was stamped on the ballot on 18th February was announced on 9th March in the Murree Declaration by Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, in which they promised with the nation that the judges would restituted within the 30 days of government formation, and it has been now 21 days [...]



Where is Promised Change?

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Apr 8th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

From the onset, the amalgamation of Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz has been watched with greatest apprehension and suspicion. Their marriage was done in the face of a singular enemy. This bond is breakable due to one of the two reasons. Either Pervez Musharraf quits the oligarchy or PPP starts overtly supporting [...]



Post Musharraf PDA

By Gul Raiz • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Anti-Musharraf agenda has brought PML-N and PPP, the historical bitter adversaries, on the same plate. Pull the Musharraf out of the equation, and the sum of Nawaz and Zardari would be at loggerheads once again, negating every value.
President Musharraf’s one un-intentional achievement is to bring these two enemies together, which has really stunned the world, [...]



Colossal Failure, Gigantic Hopes

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Mar 29th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Renowned Journalist, Shafquat Mehmood rights aptly when he says, “This is failure on a grand scale. If Mr Musharraf lacks capacity for introspection to recognise it, he should have been chastened by images of jubilation when the barricades around the chief justice’s house were removed. It was a graphic illustration of power seeping out of [...]



Still Time For Musharaf

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Mar 26th, 2008 • Category: Politics

I still wish that someone put some sense in General (r) Pervez Musharraf ans he quits now, because there still is time when he could bolt with some semblance of respect and regard. The more time he spends in the office the more insult will be hurled towards him.
The way Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani [...]

By Ali Yar Khan • Mar 10th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Things in Pakistani politics change very swiftly and rather dramatically. While Makhdoom Amin Fahim and Chaudhary Ahmad Mukhtar set their hearts on Premier Slot in Pakistan, their leader Asif Ali Zardari signs a joint declaration in Murree with Mian Nawaz Sharif and opens up a new chapter in the history of Pakistan, and this is [...]



Hyperactive Invisible Hands

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Mar 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

I positively suspect that there still is some invisible force which is tying up the warring politicians together and which is place the new pawns and other elements on the chessboards for the near future of Pakistan.
It’s the same seamless force which has ensured the transparency of the general elections, and its the same force [...]



Hope is Still There

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Feb 27th, 2008 • Category: Politics

The first formidable show of strength by three major parties — Pakistan People’s Party, Pakistan Muslim League-N and Awami National Party has helped a lot in clearing the minds of Pakistani nation, who were getting confused due to the senseless and sensational debates on private T.V channels.
Nation is very much relieved to see that the [...]
