LAHORE: law emerges higher than the high-rises

By Qudrat Ullah • Jan 13th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif of Punjab is an unpredictable man with great vigor and a substantiated strength of innovative potentials; especially when the issue of merit and rule of law surfaces, he forgives no body. During his first tenure and Punjab Chief Ministership, he didn’t let off even his maternal uncle whose encroached commercial [...]



Why Kashmala Tariq is so much Bitter About Gujrati Chaudhrys ?

By Rohail Butt • Jul 15th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Like-minded group and their activities aside, a very interesting point in the whole dirty saga of the lota league is the obvious personal enmity of Kashmala Tariq against Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Pervaiz Elhai. I was watching the press conference of Humayun Akhtar Khan, another lota-then-lota of Q-league, and he had to put the lid [...]



Humayun Akhtar versus Pervaiz Elahi : Dirt and Mud Dances

By Fatima Tassaduq • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Politics

It was quite amusing to watch Humuyun Akhtar Khan, a rich son of a late general sitting with the beautiful Kashmala Tariq doing a press conference, perhaps his first serious press conference during his drawing room political career. He was hurling mud at the Chaudhry Brothers of Gujrat, who are hell bent at carrying on [...]



Moonis Elahi and Elder Khosa Clash

By Shayan Khan • Jun 20th, 2009 • Category: Politics

It was pretty mush amusing to watchout Moonis Elahi, the son of former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi clashing with the Zulfikar Khosa in the Punjab Assembly. Chaudhry Moonis Elahi of the PML-Q and Sardar Zulfiqar Ali Khan Khosa of the PML-N exchanged heated words during the PA session. Tension was diffused when Deputy Speaker [...]

People’s Party and Qaatil League

By Rohail Butt • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Politics

It seems that the alliance of Pakistan People’s Party and PML(Q) is on the cards. The joint venture of PML(N) and PPP has run out of steam and one has to hand it over to their top lot that they have tolerated each other for a long time. One year in the politics is a [...]



Pir of London

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

I never knew why Ardsher Cowasjee, the renowned veteran columnist of Dawn newspaper, always called Altaf Hussain ,the head honcho of MQM, the “Pir of London”, until I hear the blessed statements of Mushahid Hussain, the presidential candidate from PML-Q from Nine Zero, the dreaded headquarter of MQM.
Mushahid was unable to stop his shaking head [...]

You Can Do It, Ooqaab

By Rohail Butt • Jun 14th, 2008 • Category: Politics

The Shahbaz has started to fly from crest to crest, from Rahim Yar Khan to Attock, and he has got a tall order in front of him. Not only he has to make do for the rampant bloopers of the past regime, he has also got to make merit an order of the day. What [...]



Shujaat Opens Up Against Musharraf

By Sameer Shaharyar • Jun 9th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain is getting fits of frustration over his bleak political future. Though he is a veteran politician, he forgot that whenever a politician sells himself in the hands of a dictator, he becomes a smelling relic for the general public, and that is what Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain has become.
With his PML-Q disintegrating steadily, [...]
