I remember reading this headline many, many years ago, and thinking that it was callous, and insensitive. However, I must say that I was wrong in my judgement, and that this headline perfectly embodies the Quaid's importance. It originates from the era of kings. As per my understanding, it's...

You don't get it, do you? Ahmadis don't get killed for eating beef only because it doesn't hurt the sentiments of the majority. The Ahmadis are a minority, and face persecution from the majority, just as the Muslim minority faces persecution from the Hindu majority in India. It's practically...

Nawaz Sharif was a Muslim. He performed hajj and umrah. He looted this country. Ishaq Dar was a Muslim. He offers Namaz. He looted this country. Zardari was a Muslim. He looted this country. Maj Gen Iftikhar Janjua was an Ahmadi. He died fighting for you and I. I can go on, of course. Do you...

Never before in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Inna lilla he wa inna ilaihi rajioon. Asaan baash and Araam baash, you legend.

12. Entire army to be privatised in wake of austerity drive. Army shall now be a venture separate from government altogether, largely on account of huge expense of training and maintainence. But in all seriousness, some of these points just sound off. Privatising the mess? The mess is home to...

I speak of priorities, my friend. Working for the masses should be of prime importance. Full stop. Dekho yaar: have you ever passed through a dirty slum in Karachi? Have you ever seen the destitute sleeping on footpaths in Multan? It's a heartbreaking sight. It makes one physically ill...

But shouldn't this questioning be aimed more at the welfare of the people rather than the personal piety of a particular public figure? Correct me if I'm wrong, but personal piety doesn't necessarily translate to good governance. It's a matter of priorities. There are other things in this...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!:lol::agree: Yaar hadd hai waisay. You patwaris are a weird lot. Nawaz Sharif Sahib offered his Eid prayers, kept his shoulder uncovered in ihram etc., and yet, he still ended up looting the country of its wealth. That is the textbook definition of a bloody hypocrite. It's also...

Yaar I used to believe that if people were even remotely aware of the horrors of a typical madrassah, they would campaign to have these damned moulvis burnt alive. And yet, yet, this remains an open secret. I am absolutely dumbfounded. Astonished. These bastards fuel sectarian hatred. They...

I must ask you to get off your high horse.

Let us preserve and keep clean these heavenly places.

One thing which I was constantly reminded of whilst watching the video was the importance of preserving the beauty of our country. Pollution is a venomous threat to this lush landscape. I've visited foreign countries, and it aches me to see that our Pakistanis are ever-so-quick to queue up, and...

Can't we have him on some sort of govt position overseeing economic issues? He seems concerned enough, and has certainly got the talent, skill and know-how. Asad Umer isn't a miracle worker, and he (and Pakistan) requires all the help they can get.

But yaar what about our educated jaahils (the worst section of society)? Should our education curricula be amended to educate our people regarding elements of good governance?

Very logical suggestions, worth implementing. However, I'm still unsure on some accounts, owing to a faulted bureaucratic system. The local level admins are just as corrupt. And democratic we should be! However, democracy has its flaws. My question is this: what steps must be taken to remedy a...

So what must be done to alleviate this issue? What immediate steps may be taken to lessen the ramifications of an ignorant voter base? It is a long-term issue which shall inshallah improve as our democracy strengthens. However, in the mean time, what can we do to cure us of this ailment?
