A much-awaited case of storming of Supreme Court by Sharif brothers has been re-opened, which was frozen in cold storage due to a secret deal between a militray dictator and Sharif brothers in early 2000s. I appreciate interior minister Rehman Malik for reopening this case and primarily it was the duty of chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry to hang [...]

While it is amusing to see the fake revolutionary in Shahbaz Sharif most of the time, but this time he has gone out of his mind. In his desperation and hatred for the PPP and it’s targeted leadership of President Asif Zardari he has gone mad. Previously singing Jalib and also making slogans like an orchestra maestro, Shahbaz Sharif went the [...]

The Pakistan Peoples Party which is always reeling under pressure from its arch rival – PML-N and the alliance of Teen Jeem i.e. Jurnail, Journalists and Judges, seems to be relaxed for the first time in the last four years. After the “Memogate” fizzled out and the PPP government showed some character by taking on the “Ghairat Brigade”, [...]

On April 30, 1999, Benazir Bhutto Shaheed disclosed to media that there was a definite role of Osama bin Laden, Mian Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan army's 111 Brigade in toppling her first government in early 1990s. “Bin Laden financed an operation to topple me in cooperation with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the Pakistani intelligence [...]

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz PML-N's president and the chief minister of Pakistan's most populous province Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif once proudly claimed that PML-N and Taliban share same ideological background. He publicly requested the Taliban to stop targeting the Punjab province and support anti-West provincial government. The PML-N is [...]

Make so much noise that everything becomes inaudible-then people would hear what we want them to hear. This is how the Pakistani Establishment is controlling the game at the moment - It is very clear who is who, and what is what. But because of a concentrated effort to remove the current Government and head of state, all the other noises and all [...]

The top Pakistani nationalist, ex-winning cricket Captain and recent-wining conspirator Imran Khan read General Pasha’s message in his speech in Lahore in which he disclosed latest conspiracy namely memogate, co-produced by Mansoor Ijaz along with General Pasha. From that day, Imran has been getting wickets through his tsunamic bowling and clean [...]

  update: There has been alterations and additions made to accommodate few other articles on the same issue The Supreme Court has stated that under the Article 184-3, they have jurisdiction to hear the petition on alleged memo, because fundamental rights are directly involved. The three fundamental rights that are directly at issue [...]

For the attention of our revered judges, with utmost respect It seems the infamous memo had indeed threatened to tear down the very security of this country; I wonder why our enemies never figured out this way of neutralising our security apparatus. I am sure our honourable justices know their law very well, and would doubtless have [...]

Real issue: regime change There should be no room for confusion. Nor should we put blinders on our eyes. The Memo (with a capital M) has not endangered our nukes or lowered army morale. This last is really absurd. If army morale is to be lowered by a forgotten piece of paper, no matter what was inscribed on it, we are in more danger than we [...]

I was going through the text of infamous petition of Mr. Nawaz Sharif , that "My Lord" has taken an immediate notice.  I realized if this was written by Nawaz Sharif himself and were "آئنی" and not "فرمایشی", then it would have been like this. I am sure "My Lord" will not have the courage to even read such petition. A Citizen of [...]

The military eliminated all Bhuttos because Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Murtaza and Shah Nawaz Bhutto did not accept dictation but Asif Zardari, a non-Bhutto, is no different than Bhuttos and this is the reason of generals’ annoyance with Zardari. Generals are desperate to remove President Zardari through the Supreme Court as they [...]

نواز شریف سے ایسی توقع نہ تھی خاکی وردی والے کب تک مشرف کے بوجھ تلے دبے رہتے لیکن اگر زرداری صاحب آرٹیکل چھ کو بروکار لاتے اورمشرف کو محفوظ راستہ دے کر بھگانے کے بجائے الٹا لٹکا دیتے، اگر سیاسی [...]

Yet again, a Chief Justice of Pakistan (Iftikhar Chaudhry) along with a Punjabi politician (Nawaz Sharif) is playing a dangerous game against democracy and Pakistan. Yet again, our holy guardians in GHQ (Generals Kayani et al) are pulling the real strings Nawaz Sharif's move to take memo issue to  the Supreme Court is an anti-democratic [...]

1. Mian Nawaz Sharif and other petitioners in the Memo case have said that they have not accused anyone, but have merely requested the court for an inquiry. 2. That they have not accused anyone is understandable on two counts. a. There is no acceptable evidence against anyone. The only fact is that an American businessman has written a [...]

The cat is out of the bag. Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif and his associates attacked the Supreme Court in 1997 and this time they attacked judicial conventions for the second time. The great Quaid of Punjab's largest party, Sharif, entered the Supreme Court by-passing security protocols and was treated as a VVIP. These judges have short memories. [...]

According to news reports, the Supreme court of Pakistan has accepted former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's petition  on the "memogate". Mr. Sharif had pleaded that the court should itself constitute a committee on the recent Husain Haqqani-Mansoor Ijaz memo issue and investigate it under the Article 184(3) of the Constitution, as according to him [...]

Shah Mahmood Qureshi who recently resigned as an MNA and a member of the CEC of the Pakistan Peoples Party after having been overlooked for the position of Foreign Minister of Pakistan is keeping two political parties of tenterhooks and giving impetus to the right wing media to speculate what will be the impact of his movement on the fate of [...]

Is it really fair to say that the PPP is now pro-establishment (when in fact it has decided to tow the line simply to survive and protect all the good legislation enacted by its government) or equally is it fair to say that Nawaz Sharif is anti-establishment when his brother's Punjab government has sympathies with Jamat ul Dawah? Nawaz Sharif [...]

Because you have firsthand experience of how democracy and the people’s will is thwarted and corroded, you must be cognizant of the role you must play at this crucial time, as you have done in the service of the country over the past three-and-a-half years As leader of the second largest and main opposition party you must be aware of the heavy [...]

Lead singer of Beygairat Brigade, Ali Aftab, asks some tough questions about Imran Khan and the sinister role of Pakistani establishment behind his PTI. And here I am thinking, can PTI clean sweep the next elections? Do they even have candidates in Sindh, Balochistan or Southern Punjab for that matter? Is it going to remain the party of [...]

Dengue brothers' plan to step up 'go Zardari drive' is apotheosis of anti-democratic move. This clearly shows they have not learnt a lesson from their past mistakes. Nawaz Sharif's call for agitation recalls his 1990s politics (ISI+IJI sponsored), but gone are the days when the military and its puppets used to conspire for removing PPP from [...]

It’s not Zardari’s corruption they are after, Sharifs want to save their skin In a case of instant justice to the high and mighty, the Lahore High Court has restrained an accountability court from proceeding with references filed against the Sharif Brothers and their businesses. According to Dawn on 19th October 2011, the bench comprising [...]

Editor's Note: We are pleased to cross post this excellent article for DAWN Blogs by Nadeem Paracha.  Kudos to the Beygairat Brigade for their bold, audicious, subversive and darkly comic song on the prevailing Zeitgiest of the Urban elites. Just when one thought Pakistani pop music had eaten itself and choked on its own self-indulgences, [...]

The PML-N which has in the last few years dwindled between being written off due to confrontation with the military to supporting democratic process through Charter of Democracy to supporting terrorists of Lal Masjid, Taliban etc to demanding “revolutions” to calling to the military to intervene, has decided to show its true colors by [...]

Source: The Hindu, Editorial The recent remarks by Nawaz Sharif, the leader of Pakistan's main opposition party, show that there are politicians in that country prepared to stand up against the populist view of India as dushman humsaya or the “enemy neighbour.” It would have been the easier political course for Mr. Sharif, who heads the [...]

  PART TWO Neither blindness nor ignorance corrupts people and governments. They soon realize where the path they have taken is leading them. But, there is an impulse within them, favored by their natures and reinforced by their habits which they do not resist; it continues to propel them forward as long as they have a remnant of strength.

Hapless (N) League always remained misfit in the democratic set up in Pakistan and at present their leadership extremely worried about party’s political paradigm which has limited the party to GT road party or a party belonging of Indian migrants. Muhajir Muhajir alliance against indigenous ethnicities in Pakistan is quite natural but dearth or [...]

Sharif brother's recent move is aimed at toppling the democratic setup. The grand alliance in the offing, led by Sharifs of Punjab, is based on one-point agenda – getting rid of Asif Ali Zardari-led PPP administration, another change in its stance.

President Zardari called Nawaz maulana, with multiple innuendos: that he was the illicit political offspring of General Zia, that he was a covert abettor of jihadi elements in Punjab, and that he was aligning with Jamaat Islami in the AJK polls The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has finally decided that familiar is safe and to hell with [...]
