Our Legacy, Our Democratic Credentials & the Storming of the Bastilles By Syed Haider Raza Mehdi
In 2008, PPP got 13% of the registered vote, as per the Election Commission statistics which can be checked from their website. This means, a whopping 87% either voted against them or didn’t vote, sick and tired of a terribly corrupt mafia that has ruled this country. I’ll come to military rulers in a short while. In 2013 election the PMLN got 17% of the registered vote. Again Election...
عمران خان کی منی ٹریل اور بیہودہ لوگ By Muhammad Tahseen
Imran Khan is one of the great people of Pakistan's history history. Cricket began to play since the age of 17th. In the same decade, he made only one house in London for twenty-five years playing cricket. He also sold his money to Pakistan and purchased a place on a Bunar hill in Bunna, which was commercial and breakfast residual. That place is high but not all built. A simple simple...
Maryam Nawaz keeps forgetting; Truth can not be substituted By Nimrah Rafique
Maryam Nawaz keeps forgetting one basic fact, that truth has no substitute. She had started off well though, you must admit. The only blue-eyed among her siblings, her father began preparing her to carry his legacy forward when he was apparently an opposition leader and Zardari ruled the country. Back then many amongst us had welcomed his daughter’s political appearances, considering it a...
Panama: Links to daylight Robbery By Brig (R) Samson Simon
Was Protection of Economic Reforms Act 1992 meant to build foreign exchange and kick start development? I remember the discussions that followed after 1992. Many critics argued that the law would be misused for money laundering through Hawala and remittance cycles. At the heart of these arguments were mega projects with kickbacks. But the government maintained that money laundering and operating...
The JIT Investigation By Syed Haider Raza Mehdi
So finally they emerged. The cockroaches from the woodworks. The JIT investigation forcing them out. The Four Monkeys. Honorable bootlickers and servants of Nawaz, Maryam, Hassan and Hussain. You know Nawaz senses he’s in trouble when he brings out his biggest rats and cockroaches, or his biggest artillery and tanks to the front. Depends how charitable you want to be towards this terrible...
Yeah hain wo Zaraye By Yar Muhammad Khan Niazi
The Patwari is the nation of the world who knows the fall of snake with a rope very well. N. The leprosy is a creature that specializes in extravagant work. Today, besides Godad Father and his disciples, some Bukhwa media houses wrapped up on TV that Imran Khan wrote But the court has submitted the reply that his cricket earnings and the mini-trail of London Flats are not...
#NotOurPrimeMinister By Ifrah Hassan

The Alleppo Tragedy By Haider Mehdi
Absolutely unbelievable and incredible how the terrible tragedy of Alleppo in Syria, has legitimized DAESH, Al Qaeda & their proxies like Jaish Al Fatah, Jash Al Islam, Jaish Al Shaam & Jubhat Al Nusra, & their supporters, who've basically committed mass genocide these last several years, as the "Good Guys"!The power of petrodollars fuelling the tragic human stories on social media...
A suggestion to organize PTI By Zohaib Zahid
The success of political parties is always at the mercy of the organizational structure to achieve the goals. Organizing a political party is a complicated process especially in a country like Pakistan because democracy has not strengthened its roots here. The existence of democracy is solely another debatable issue because we have to survive and win within the given circumstances. I have...
WILL TRUMP GET TRUMPED By Brig(R) Samson Simon Sharaf
It must have been an embarrassment for the Trump administration on two emotive decisions it took within hours of assuming power. While the world follows the legal battle over travel ban (more or less decided in the federal court), it is shying from condemning an ill planned US strike in Yemen killing innocent people that included women and children. This was the first overseas action by US forces...
PPP & the death of Morality By Jehangir Mirza
Morality is dead when it comes to Pakistan Peoples’ Party.Just as Asif Ali Zardari looked all set to launch the Punjab offensive, a leaked document detailing direct orders from PM Gillani to Ambassador Haqqani has rocked the PPP. The letter dated 2010 – now confirmed by the former Prime Minister as genuine albeit ifs & buts – empowered the Pakistani ambassador to issue visas to Americans...
Myth Making in Pakistani Politics By Raja Akhlaq Janjua
Yesterday, when I was talking with a friend about the Panama Papers Case and current political situation in Pakistan, my friend said “Imran Khan is a Jew Agent”. Once I made a cold shoulder cut, but then the discussion changed its direction to the conspicuous post election rigging accusations by Imran Khan and his call for the establishment of an autonomous judicial commission to enquire into...
Of Ego Trips and Terrorism By Lt. General (R) Ghulam Mustafa
13 February 2017 appears to have faded from nation’s memory as indeed all other such days which took away so many precious lives. Instead we are now riveted on PSL Finals in Lahore as if its success will be the victory we have been promised all along. In a way, yes, it will be. For whom and to what degree, is a moot point. Organizers of the event and those entrusted with its security will have a...
The IK Factor By Majid Rafiq
here has been a fundamental change brought in Pakistani politics due to one thing; the Imran Khan (IK) factor.Millions of Pakistanis now believe that Pakistan can be made into a great country because of this IK Factor.Pakistanis had given up on Pakistan and then IK brought a genuine hope of better Pakistan, a Naya Pakistan.This hope then has translated into passion and rage.Rage and passion often...
