If we were alive only to witness this day, it has arrived: Hamid Mir is now a darling of other liberals! During the past few months, courtesy a few cosmetic jibes at the ISI and support from Pakistan's fake liberals, Hamid Mir has been trying to present himself as an anti-establishment journalist. Even if his unenviable past record is ignored, [...]

I don't have a job! After all, I am not self-made and do not have job in Hazrat Imran Khan foundation. I am not self made and uncompromised like Honourable Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, Hon.

Dedicated to fellow Ghairatmand comrades like Ejaz Haider Yes, there is no evidence against Hafiz Saeed! Move over Gandhi. Martin Luther King, get a life. The real pacifist of our generation is Hazrat Hafiz Saeed. Lashkar-e-Tayba is a fictious organization and the only organization is charity group like Jamaat-ud-Dawa which does philanthropy [...]

After yesterday's massive rally in Ghotki which was given minimal coverage by private-corporate media, today's #PPP rally in Jhelum has met a similar fate.  It has largely been ignored by the media which is disappointing but hardly surprising.  Why would one Jeem (Journalists) ever present the mass publich critique of another Jeem (Judiciary).

It is now increasingly recognized that most of Pakistanis journalists are either silent (or misrepresent due to several reasons) or lack adequate information about Shia genocide currently taking place in Pakistan at the hands of the Taliban and Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (also known as Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat). A recent article (Connivance at a [...]

Dear Mr Latif Chaudhry I am very pleased to read your column in daily Express in which you exposed the hypocrisy of notorious Taliban apologist Ansar Abbasi of the Jang Group (Jang/The News/Geo). The so called "Jihad" of Ansar Abbasi against "Fahashi" (vulgarity) reminds me of Taliban's "Islamic" Government in Swat. In one such [...]

Why do those who have had a taste of victimhood forget so quickly and could actually launch the same offensive against others? I seriously ask myself if the ongoing Lyari operation justified? Without any biasedness I strongly believe that Baloch of Lyari were armed & used by PPP to protect its interest and now they're being massacred. So [...]

We (our family) have always supported the PPP. In Karachi, you have only two choices, either the MQM or PPP. So we always go for PPP. But this time unfortunately, the PPP has lost my vote. I have decided not to vote for any political party in upcoming elections. I know my vote doesn't matter to PPP as it's the largest political party of Pakistan [...]

While the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) is held in high esteem by those who stand for human rights and condemn its violations, both within and outside Pakistan, it is very unfortunate that a towering organization with considerable audience and influence is either silent or misrepresentative on the genocide of Shias in [...]

I came across this comment on Cyril Almeida's recent column Bhutto legacy and lack of alternatives equal PPP dominance (Dawn, 5 April 2012). The comment, written by Morial Shah (publicly available on Twitter), is worth sharing with a larger audience. In the above cited article, Cyril Almeida writes: While the woes of incumbency and a [...]

Whenever oppressed and under-funded Paak Fauj and its supporters like Hazrat Hafiz Saeed are under pressure, comrade Ejaz always comes to their rescue. In May last year, when ISI was really under pressure because they had failed to protect Islam’s hero, OBL, Ejaz Haider wrote them a brilliantly esoteric letter – esoteric because even today, it [...]

This post is especially for my PTI comrades and for my heroes Samad Khurram, Meera Ghani and Fundy Kasoori.

It is an insult to the memory of [...]

A Sukuzi van on its way to Alamdar Road carrying Shia Hazara passengers from Hazara Town was ambushed by 2 armed assailants when it slowed down near a speed-breaker on Spini Road, Quetta.

We condemn harassment of Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) by the ISI (Pakistan army's spy agency).

Hmmm . . . where are the protests in the streets of Karachi and Cairo, outrage in London and Washington over this apartheid policy by haters of Shi’ite Muslims?  Where are all the vocal Muslim groups (Jamaat-e-Islami, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, Jamaat-ud-Dawa etc), angered that a country is rounding up Shi’ite Muslims and [...]

Apparently Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has made a Twitter account (@TehreekeTaliban) for their Jihadi-sectarian propaganda on social media and also to harass their perceived opponents.

In Pakistan, at times one feels the need to check oneself and restrain the use of hyperbole and absolutisms; I personally am particularly prone to this tendency. Yet, some days are easy and have little room for shallow nuances and complexities. People were offloaded from buses, their sectarian affiliations ascertained from their identification [...]
