    Jaswant Singh: The Death of Pakistan?

    The 'Demand' which you seem to infer, is in fact, "Tow", for large majority of our countrymen. Towed by pseudo Ulemas and Maluvis, with fanciful titles, totally inverse of Hadith of Propht PBUH, "MOMIN KI FIRASAT SAY DARO K WOH ALLAH K NOOR SAY DEKHTA HAY". This is most evident in small towns...
