By Rai Azlan • Mar 18th, 2010 • Category: Politics

It was Sunday last year and date was 15th March 16, a strange day in our history. At one end Besant was being celebrated and on the other hand Long March to restore the judiciary was on. I have been in favor of free judiciary since I came across to the Quote of Hazrat Ali [...]



We Should Sometimes Thank America

By Tazeen • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Like it or not, many Pakistanis and their numbers are rising rapidly believe that the drone attacks by the Americans in the FATA region are justified and they support these attacks.

Bloody Revolution for the Protocol Lovers

By Maria Sultan • Mar 3rd, 2010 • Category: Politics

To our utter shame, even the democracy has become a farce in the country. No wonder, when the reigns of the governance are in the hands of those who poke fun at the kids who come into this world amidst of cruel protocols , then there is no doubt that democracy is such a sham [...]

By Mir Adnan Aziz • Mar 3rd, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

“The audience watched in awe the circus where harlequins faint and cry, and jokers await their cues as thieves in the dark.

WHEREAS for other nations a situation like this would mean catastrophe as the nation goes off the track being driven into uncertainty through a clash of the departments, for us this is now a routine, so its like we are now back on the track, back on the track where we have spent most of [...]



Why Zardari Did It?

By Ali Yar Khan • Feb 15th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

It’s extremely preposterous to even think that the cunning President Zardari didn’t have an idea about the implications and the reactions of his decision to outrightly reject the recommendations of the supreme court’s top judge and make his own decision.
He very well knew that Chief Justice (Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry would kowtow in front of [...]
