PPP Want NRO to Restore Judges

By Ali Yar Khan • Aug 21st, 2008 • Category: Features

The cat has come out of the bag. The controversial National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) which dries Asif Ali Zardari of PPP clean from all the corruption of the past is to be given a constitutional cover, if PML-N wants to see Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhary and other judges restored.
It’s as simple as that and all the […]



Ub Tumharay Hawalay Watan Saathiyo

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Aug 21st, 2008 • Category: Politics

As America looked away and the army lifted his hands off the castle of dictator didn’t take much longer to dismantle. As Musharraf resigns, a vacuum of target has created for the politicos. Politics is inherently competitive and given the antagonistic history of PPP and PML-N, the coalition partners in the current government there is […]

Ek Gadha:-……………… Yaar mera maalik mujhe bohot maarta hai.
Dusara Gadha:-…………. To tu bhag kyun nahi jaata.
Pehla Gadha:- ……….. Bhaag to jata par yahan future barha bright hai ………
Maalik ki khoobsurat beti jab shararat karti hai to maalik kehta hai,
“Teri shaadi gadhay se kar doonga…!”
Bus isee ummeed mein baitha hoon……..



People of Pakistan have done it

By Johann • Aug 21st, 2008 • Category: Politics

The People of Pakistan have done it. They can be justifiably proud. When 9/11 happened and Musharraf joined with US war on terror, even the jehadies accepted that. Remember the famous disinformation put out by alqueda that it is Jews who did the 9/11.It took some time for them to admit it openly. […]



Accountability of Qaaf League

By Salman Mugsi • Aug 21st, 2008 • Category: Politics

One wonders as what sort of “Karrakay” Mushahid Hussain Syed is trying to pull out, and what really Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain is up to by hinting that Musharraf is still not weak and he would return soon, and resignation is not the weakness of the Musharraf and what about those hordes of lotas which are […]



Why Guard of Honour To Musharraf?

By Salman Mugsi • Aug 21st, 2008 • Category: Politics

Why a successor was important?

By Faraz Beg • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Features

Ayub Khan’s regime was extremely similar to Musharraf’s in that he and Musharraf both were the blue-eyed boys of the US, wrote a book about it, enjoyed absolute authority for about a decade, engineered elections to stay in power, changed the electoral process, were able to find a big faction in the Muslim League to […]



The life and death of the one-point agenda

By Faraz Beg • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Musharraf quits! So swiftly that it might even have surprised the coalition partners. And herein lies the big test for them. They had a common enemy, that common enemy is no more, and consequently, the coalition has lost its raison d’être. What’ll happen next is a test of their characters, sincerity and honesty. For that […]



Chandelier of Democracy

By Altaf Khan • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Tyranny is dead and democracy is alive again. On the corpse of dictatorship, the funeral of guard of honour has been offered like it was for Yahya Khan, Ziaul Haq and Ayub Khan. Now democracy is calling and the challenge of democracy is swinging at the heads of the coalition partners.
With lots of Sacrifices, the […]



Musharaf’s Swan Song

By Talal Hussain Malik • Aug 19th, 2008 • Category: Politics

SINCE its independence 61 years ago, our nation has erred; it has erred a lot and has continuously been punished as well. We did mistakes that we didn’t learn from; consequently we were gripped by the shackles of evils like dictatorship. Thus, it has mostly been a One Man Show where the poor audience was […]
