جے آئی آٹی اور اس کے گیارہ سوال By Mohammad Abdhu

عدالت نے صرف جی آئی ٹی بنانے کا حکم نہیں دیا بلکہ جی آئی ٹی کو وزیراعظم سے گیارہ سوال پوچھنے کا بھی حکم دیا ہے۔ عدالت تو نتیجے تک پہنچ چکی تھی۔ ابھی نااہل کردیتے تو نوازشریف ہیرو بن جاتا۔ مظلومیت کا ووٹ لیکر پھر آجاتا۔ جبکہ عدالت چاہتی ہے اب عوام کو بھی پتہ چلنا چاہئے شریف خاندان چالیس سال سے کیسے ملک کو لوٹ رہا ہے۔ اس لئے اگلے دو مہینے میں شریف خاندان کے بہت سارے نئے کھاتے کھلیں گے۔ مزید اثاثے...

عمران خان کا مذاق By Muhammad Tahseen

اکستان کے ناخواندہ اور نیم خواندہ لوگ اور ان کے نام نہاد لیڈر عمران خان کی شجر کاری مہم کا مذاق اڑاتے نظر آتے ہیں. ان کے نزدیک درخت لگانا بھی کوئی کام ہے کیا. چلیں درخت اسی کروڑ نہیں اسی لاکھ لگے ہونگے چلیے اسی لاکھ نا سہی اسی ہزار ہی سہی چلیں آپ کا رانجھا راضی کرتے ہیں اسی سو ہی لگے ہونگے. لیکن تریسٹھ سالہ عمران خان کو یہ درخت لگا کر ملے گا کیا؟ کیا وہ ان کا پھل کھانے کے لیے موجود ہوگا یا ان کی...

The Alleppo Tragedy By Haider Mehdi

Absolutely unbelievable and incredible how the terrible tragedy of Alleppo in Syria, has legitimized DAESH, Al Qaeda & their proxies like Jaish Al Fatah, Jash Al Islam, Jaish Al Shaam & Jubhat Al Nusra, & their supporters, who've basically committed mass genocide these last several years, as the "Good Guys"!The power of petrodollars fuelling the tragic human stories on social media...

A suggestion to organize PTI By Zohaib Zahid

The success of political parties is always at the mercy of the organizational structure to achieve the goals. Organizing a political party is a complicated process especially in a country like Pakistan because democracy has not strengthened its roots here. The existence of democracy is solely another debatable issue because we have to survive and win within the given circumstances. I have...

WILL TRUMP GET TRUMPED By Brig(R) Samson Simon Sharaf

It must have been an embarrassment for the Trump administration on two emotive decisions it took within hours of assuming power. While the world follows the legal battle over travel ban (more or less decided in the federal court), it is shying from condemning an ill planned US strike in Yemen killing innocent people that included women and children. This was the first overseas action by US forces...

PPP & the death of Morality By Jehangir Mirza

Morality is dead when it comes to Pakistan Peoples’ Party.Just as Asif Ali Zardari looked all set to launch the Punjab offensive, a leaked document detailing direct orders from PM Gillani to Ambassador Haqqani has rocked the PPP. The letter dated 2010 – now confirmed by the former Prime Minister as genuine albeit ifs & buts – empowered the Pakistani ambassador to issue visas to Americans...

Myth Making in Pakistani Politics By Raja Akhlaq Janjua

Yesterday, when I was talking with a friend about the Panama Papers Case and current political situation in Pakistan, my friend said “Imran Khan is a Jew Agent”. Once I made a cold shoulder cut, but then the discussion changed its direction to the conspicuous post election rigging accusations by Imran Khan and his call for the establishment of an autonomous judicial commission to enquire into...

Panama Case ka Faisla By Yar Muhammad Niazi

آج پانامہ کیس کا فیصلہ جو بھی آئے لیکن صرف اس ایک کے سنے جانے سے مسلم لیگ ن سمیت حکومتی اداروں کے رویے اور کارکردگی پوری دنیا کے سامنے کھل کر سامنے آگئی ہے اور یہ بات پورے وثوق سے ثابت ہوچکی ہے کہ حکمران طبقے نے اپنے ذاتی مفادات کے حصول کیلئے تمام اداروں کا جنازہ نکال دیا ہے اور سیاست جسکو کبھی عبادت سمجھا جاتا تھا کو پیسے اور طاقت کا کھیل بنا دیا ہے. اب ذرا تصور کریں کہ اگر پچھلے تیس سال کے تمام...

Of Ego Trips and Terrorism By Lt. General (R) Ghulam Mustafa

13 February 2017 appears to have faded from nation’s memory as indeed all other such days which took away so many precious lives. Instead we are now riveted on PSL Finals in Lahore as if its success will be the victory we have been promised all along. In a way, yes, it will be. For whom and to what degree, is a moot point. Organizers of the event and those entrusted with its security will have a...

The Panama Fizzler By Brig(R) Samson Simon Sharaf

“The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed.”- Honoré de BalzacThe introduction to the Panama Bench judgment is sensational and apt. Perhaps the ruling judges allowed the dissenting judges to write this much in their honour. The quote most likely comes from Justice Khosa, known for his taste of...
