The news came as a big shock because Khawaja Yawar Naseer has been the voice and face of the PPP from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province for the last 40 years. It is a bad decision and black PR for the PPP. A rich businessman and educationist, [...]

Generals are desperate to remove President Zardari through the Supreme Court as they [...]

I am member of a society that has turned into a weird society during the last 35 years. Now, I level accusations without checking facts and understanding context of actions, decisions and events.

Bridges are [...]

As the theatre of the U.S initiated war moves to Pakistan the Pakistani military feels cornered and its commanders are looking for internal unity and reaching out to new and old foreign friends.

Americans roam in Pakistan and treat the country as their colony because nearly 65 years ago the founder of Pakistan saw the United States as a saviour and defender of his new State.  Just before the division of the Indian Subcontinent, the British trained lawyer and leader of the All India Muslim League, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, had communicated to [...]
