On the other hand, I hope PTI realises the political mistake they are making. Jamaat-e-Islami needs no introduction but as a reminder to the readers: AlQaeda No. 2 Khalid Sheikh Muhammad was captured from Naazim of JI’s house in Rawalpindi. 2 more listed AlQaeda terrorist were also found from JI residences in Pakistan. JI held funeral prayers of Osama Bin Laden all across Pakistan. Nazim JI Mirpur was killed in a drone attack in NW with other terrorists and Qazi led his funeral prayer in Mirpur. Samia Qazi calls Taliban killers her brothers. When Govt asked religious leaders and parties to issue statements condemning suicide blasts, JI refused to do so. Munawar Hasan in his famous interview with Shahzeb Khanzada from which he ran away mid way, said that TTP is also doing Jihad and its okay to blast away Pak Govt and people if need be. The same Munawar Hassan rejected Women Protection Bill and claims if a raped woman should remain silent and sent to jail if she fails to provide 4 witnesses. PTI can definitely do better without the baggage of fascist Jamaat-e-Islami and I hope good sense will prevail in PTI.

During the debates, Nick tried to pose himself as a messiah. He repeatedly used the words “these politicians” referring to the Labour and Tories. Nobody asked him what the heck he himself is and then, if its so wrong being a politician, what about himself ?

“If you wish to converse with me”, Voltaire said, “Define your terms”.  Pakistan is a funny country where we excel at changing the meaning of the words to use them for our own benefit.  Business is now the equivalent of fraud and scams. Intelligence is the ability to lie and cheat. Integrity and honesty are equivalent to naivety and foolishness.  politics is just another name for raw, crude and naked opportunism.
As a result we have politicians …

PTI launches subsidized ‘tandoors’ in Lahore to sell roti at 2 Rs. and Naan at 3 Rs. Plans to launch such ‘tandoors’ across the country.

I don’t know where this snapshot has been in the past and why is it out this late, but this is definitely interesting. Musharraf won’t even have a clue that this man will be one of his most blatant and bold critics.

This was probably taken at SKMCH back in 2000/01 when Musharraf was looking for political partners to prolong his rule.

The government of Pakistan shelved the controversial Kalabagh Dam project on May 27, 2008. Three provinces of Pakistan, other than Punjab, had strong reservations over the project. Musharraf, during his times announced to build the dam despite those reservations but could not. This was probably the first good move by the newly formed Government. Soon, after this news break out, it was heard that the PTI and JI held a demonstration / protest rally against this decision of the government. This was quite surprising as PTI has been saying …

Cricketer, fund raiser, playboy, politician, human rights campaigner, democracy activist, he has done them all with panache (though not entirely with the same degree of success all the time). As a cricketer, he is one of the greatest all-rounders the game has produced, definitely the best cricketer Pakistan has ever produced ….

Cricketer turned politician, Imran Khan, Chairman PTI was sent to D.G.Khan jail after the humiliating arrest from PU (14-Nov-07) which served as a tool to expose Jamiat and triggered the student movement in PU , increased the popularity of the bold and daring Khan as well as of his party.

Chairman Khan has issued his message for the nation through his lawyer from the jail in D.G.Khan where he is arrested. Here goes the message :

Government of Pakistan (read Pakistan Army) has been very successfully running their operations across the country to identify and capture as many ‘terrorists’ as possible. Another success story of them was telecast on GEO TV few days back when the identified and successfully arrested a new emerging group of ‘terrorists’, they were assumed to be involved in violent activities in the near future.
Thanks to the far sightedness of the executives of the nation. ‘Terrorists’ like this should be treated like this. I am glad at this success of them – …

Punjab University (PU) is the largest public sector university of Pakistan. IJT has been occupying PU like many other public sector universities for years. Gunda-Gardi of IJT and their corruption is something about which anyone ever been a student of public sector universities can narrate you stories about. Let me tell you one of mime. I have been to hostel of FCC (Forman Christian College, Lahore) where one night a few mullas knocked my door and asked for chanda (donation).When I asked what is it for, they replied that …

Chairman, PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf), Imran Khan had called for a protest on November 14,2007 at Punjab University Campus bridge at 11:00 AM. This was going to be the first public appearance of IK after the imposition of emergency since when he was in hide-out. It was pretty obvious that the bad-guys who have been looking for him since then will not let him go this time. Khan must have this thing in mind that it won’t be as easy to escape this time as he managed to last time …
