It also means that the Sydney plumber that attends your job will be fully informed and have all the necessary equipment to do the work.

There are only two ways to revolution, bullet or ballot. JI has always opted for the former, whatever may be the consequences. As far as the results of NA-55 are concerned, the role of media could not be overlooked. A few days before, the way people’s opinion were swayed over Lal Masjid issue by a TV channel talks volumes about the alleged role of media in manipulating the polls results. The voters of JI belong to elite burgeouis class as mentioned by NFP and vote on the basis of ideology. All the votes of JI went to PML(N) based on this singular issue.

Having said this, there are certain quotes through which I would like to respond to this article:

The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them. (Confucius)

Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves. (Charlotte Bronte)

Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit. (James Russell Rowell)

A blind man once asked a wise man, “Can there be a thing worse than losing eye sight?” He replied, “Yes, losing your vision.”

Growing seed makes no Sound but falling tree makes huge noise. Creation is always quiet, this is the power of SILENCE…!!!

Sir jee, I am from a low middle class area in Karachi and have been doing a job for ten years now. So do not lecture me with your ‘reality’ stuff. I have studied while working and by the grace of allah gotten a job through sheer hard work. I refuse to be a whiner or a wanker who will go on badmouthing the system and the government just because I can’t get a job. The PPP has never given me anything and yet I vote for them because its supporters in the college I studied in cam from struggling families. many of them have been unemplyed, but I have never seen them whine like so many middle classias start to do when PPP is in power.

@Jam Tamachi

@GOX. Yes, I agree too – just like Imran has this wonderful democracy going on in his ‘party.’
I admire people like you Goxy boy who bring in words like Pakistan and democracy every time their own golden boys of media like Imran and that man called Zaid Hamid find absolutely no place in mainstream politics.
I think you should give this advise to the many myopic and onesided pro-Imran sites out there. At least this site though pro-PPP, is not afriad of being critical of it as well.

@Gox I agree. This is a fair suggestion.

@nadeem f paracha
since nadeem views seem to strike a chord with PPP and their supporter, i would like to ask him to write something about introducing democracy in the working of political parties like PPP, PML(N), MQM,ANP etc ….. it is time they move beyond dynasties …PPP should not be about Bhutto clan but about Pakistan. There should be election within the party and instead of jiyalas we should have political workers and representatives of the party.

@let us build pakistan
if you really want to build Pakistan, show some respect for ideologies other than PPP’s. The ridicule element is almost always there in most of the articles on this website. What it serves, i know nothing. Whether it helps, maybe to the notion of intellectually superiority of some writers here. Otherwise it alienates people rather than bring them closer. Objectivity is missing in most of the writings, rather it looks like it is serving to the whims of some political actors.
