Around 100 tragic deaths of heart patients have occured due to fake medicines provided by the Punjab Governments' PIC (Punjab Institute of Cardiolology). This is yet another blunder by chief minister of Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif. Since three weeks, he was waiting for more death toll just like a monster, not much different from his slow-motion [...]

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.

I was appalled to see the highlights of the PML-N rally in Lahore today. Shahbaz Sharif was insistent on killing Zardari and derailing democracy.

There is a noticeable elitist silence in Pakistani media and blogs on the current protests by the PCS officers in Punjab (PCS slaves of the Takht-e-Punjab), whose legitimate demands for respect and equality are being met with naked brutality and harshness which is a characteristic of the historical union between the PML-N (corrupt trader [...]
