Shahbaz Sharif Said Nothing Illogical

By Maria Sultan • Mar 17th, 2010 • Category: Politics

Why media is tossing the issue of Shahbaz Sharif’s statement is not surprising and its not surprising too as why the PPP, PML-Q, ANP and MQM are also making such a hue and cry. They rarely get a chance these days to tease PML-N. Media needs some issue and this is the latest and most [...]

If you have visited the NA-123 constituency of the Lahore 6 yesterday, you might have noticed a pleasant change in the shape of cleaned roads, no garbage, traffic police on duties, painted sign boards, flowing severage, electricity intact, while the roadwork restored.

Why Gilani Threatened Chief Justice?

By Rohail Butt • Feb 17th, 2010 • Category: Politics

Truthfully speaking, the caliber of our Prime Minister is only suited to the district council politics and not beyond that. His handpicking by the cunning and lucky Asif Ali Zardari was for a reason, the same reason through which Gilani became the speaker of National Assembly during the era of late Benazir Bhutto.
Now the political [...]



We are not Servants of Sharifs, Bhuttos and Imrans

By Ali Yar Khan • Feb 12th, 2010 • Category: Politics

Pakistan’s former prime ministers Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto went out of this world in unusual circumstances and as is expected in Pakistan, their parties declared them martyrs.
Ask from Ijazul Haq, son of former dictator General Ziaul Haq who died in plane crash, and Ijaz would call his father a martyr. From the ashes [...]



Nawaz Sharif Not Learning from Mistakes

By Rohail Butt • Feb 9th, 2010 • Category: Politics

One wonders as why PML-N’s chief Nawaz Sharif is self-destructing himself. Perhaps he has been out of power for too long and now he is desperate for the premiership that he has resorted to the seasoned manipulators, who actually eventually become the catalyst of downfall of any government.
Nawaz Sharif is trying to bring in his [...]



Nawaz Sharif will be Alone in Next Long March

By Salman Mugsi • Feb 6th, 2010 • Category: Politics

Mian Nawaz Sharif is in for some real shocks of his life. He is taking the people of Pakistan, especially the people of Punjab for granted.
Every after two days, he threatens the government meekly with yet another long march. Sometimes, Nawaz Sharif cites the NRO, or then 17th amendment, and then about the implementation of [...]



NA-21 Mansehra; PML-N, PPP Lost; JUI-F Won, PML-Q Runnerup

By Maria Sultan • Jan 30th, 2010 • Category: Politics

The results of NA-21 Mansehra are amazing and very disappointing. They are disappointing for me not because I am favoring any party but because of the fact that those who have been exposed too many times before nation, those who supported dictators, those who are proven hypocrites and those who have no moral authority to [...]



Where Zardari Went Wrong

By Ali Yar Khan • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

The raison det’re of sudden insurgency of President Zardari in the politics and his coming out of bunker is that he has sensed that his days are numbered and it’s just about time that someone else takes the throne in Islamabad. He knows that his past has at last caught up with him, and the [...]



Will Premier Show Integrity?

By Rohail Butt • Jan 7th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

The biggest problem with the present regime in Pakistan is that it’s corrupt. Not a single person is out there who can claim that he or she is clean. The bunch of ministers and advisors who were selected by the President carry lots of corrupt baggage and now the Islamabad is buzzing with their fresh [...]
