For the past two days, as our local media shows the clips of Indian media openly blaming Pakistan for Mumbai attacks, I was wondering what was the motive behind. Do they want to incite anger among the local population? Do they want their population to close eyes towards the home grown extremism? Do they want to wage a war with Pakistan?

This article was written last year  to highlight the situation we are still faced with as a nation, all the issues that surrounds us like a disease.

The politics of this mutilated mind of oppression will never free us from the chains we have worn upon our souls for last sixty years. we must realise. we must wake up and we must differentiate what is good for us and isn’t. We must not follow the rhetoric and euphoria of change when it means nothing in the end. We must allow ourselves responsible for the future of Pakistan. Lets free ourselves from all this. Let’s bring revolution in our minds and thinking we have. Let’s change our attitude. If we fail to do so, we will become humans of the past and dinosaurs of the future!

As Waziris roam in mountains and its steppes,
With companions, the rivers gomal and tolchi
Hear them those blushing meadows in trance
As history whispers its lessons in Wazirwola

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is becoming the torch bearer within the society. The amount of change and its impact is tremendous through efforts of PTI chairman and all the teams that have contributed to the success. But we need to do more. In order to reach to the perceptions of a common Pakistani, we need to ensure that we have all the mechanisms in place at all levels to promote this message of self-esteem, freedom and justice. We are to be seen to be carrying that message in all corners and quarters.

[Translation: When a Punjabi hag's husband brought home a second wife, instead of trying to find fault with herself or seeing her husband as the wrong-doer, she immediately began to curse the new wife:

"That witch must have cast a black spell on my husband," she reasoned.]

Asalamoalaikum and Hello,

Its been an awesome show by PTI. The smiling faces in the land of the depressed, says it all. Ahsan Rasheed, Mehmood ul Rashid, Omar Sarfraz and so many others. Sublime Team work!

There is a mountain of challenges facing our homeland today. From the long last dream of an "Islamic Laboratory" to the economic doldrums of the masses. The nascent country/nation of Pakistan was supposed to uphold the rights of all inhabitants in the conducive Islamic Environment and grant its citizens the best opportunities possible. It seems that we have failed to put our act together as a nation.

Thar coal reserves have 175 billion tonnes of coal, which is equivalent to 618 billion barrels of crude oil recently informed by VC of The university of the Punjab.

Let it be very boldly claimed by the PTI workers that when the judiciary was sending Sharif to the gallows or when Zardari was rotting in the jail; it was PTI that set forth with an agenda of justice. The masses failed to get a grasp of the idea that was too advanced for its time. What ensued was the plain annihilation of PTI in 96 polls.

An individual is literally "an individual". A whole system in itself. With enough energy and brain to change the fate of the whole world. But what lies in the individual that inhibits him from being that productive individual?

The wise men said that a picture is worth a thousand words. For the nth time, it was vindicated today. Khan, by the side of the chair, a ferrocious gait and the focus of a cross-eyed, studious child. It summed it all up. The chair found its new owner. Justly so, for all in the politics have set aside, atleast for now, their holy pledge to the motherland.

The nation is being lashed with the news of death and destruction in FATA on a daily basis. There is not a single heart which doesnot get the overwhelming call of mercy and compassion. On one hand, we are talking to the Indians, who have ensured that the past 60 years of our life were as hard as possible. And on the other side are these pure and thoroughly patriotic citizens of FATA, who have defended the western frontiers for 60 years.

In the Talmudic literature there is the following parable about Moses*: The whole world was shaken and enthralled by the miracle of the Exodus. The name of Moses was on everyone's lips. Tidings of the great miracle reached also the wise king of Arabistan. The king summoned to him his best painter and bade him go to Moses, to paint his portrait and bring it back to him. When the painter returned, the king gathered together all his sages, wise in physiognomy (the art of judging human character from facial features), and asked them to define by the portrait the character of Moses, his qualities, inclinations, habits, and the source of his miraculous power.

We Know that PTI is still in the process of Popularity due to lack of  funds, lack of  media coverage, Media coverage is one of the biggest reason cause for our leading team not to be known to every one.but even some time we have been asked by the media anchors that Imran khan is seems to be the one only in PTI Leadership. there is no Leading team. or if there is they are not well known or well articulate, but we PTI members Know very well we have a fresh and well educated Leading team. but the reason is actually Lack of Media coverage which effects our team's Popularity as compare to others.

Asalamoalaikum and Hello!

The british ruled the Indian-subcontinent for over one hundred and fifty years. Not a short period by any dimension of history! Muslims, being the overthrown rulers, were bound to face the gallows; which they did in the ensuing period. The british had mastered the polity of ruling nations, knowing well that control of the culture and ideology of a nation leads to an absolute grip over them.

I am on an organisational tour which has taken me to Lahore, Islamabad, Pehawar, Nowshera, Pabbi, Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan, Obaro, Sukker and am writing to you from Larkana (Dadu, Nawabshah and Hyderabad to go)

I have adressed Jalsas, Press conferences and Bars. Yesterday in Sukker Press Conf a  journalist asked a question which prompts me to write this long letter.
