Very interesting and this sort of analysis will never appear in lamestream media. There is a direct link between what is discussed in the article and current political crises in Pakistan. Pakistanis would rather waste their time discussing the merit of IK and CTBT instead of understanding...

For simple reason that judges can be physically intimidated and threatened. Army cannot. In an earlier post, I had linked two articles on murder of judges who were presiding Zardari's trial in the 90s. Other judges got the picture. Sharif baradaraan are more subtle. They use bribery and...

I am an unsentimental person. I have seen ups and downs of Pakistan from up close. I have felt real fear while playing cricket at UBL sports complex in Federal B-Area in mid 90s due to constant gunfire ringing in the background. I have felt elevation and sense of relief when Musharraf took over...

Sorry but elements of upcoming government openly appointed a person in senior position who turned out to be an agent of America and Israel. This person is active again and played a part in removing a government which had the biggest presence in National Assembly and according to tradition should...

Am I the only one who feels like puking when I see SS speak? For the next few weeks, I will have to be nimble with my remote especially after iftaari.

May Allah give you sabr. Please accept condolences

Some reporter recently put out a tweet according to which Chief Justice gaily commented to bilawal that aap kee smile bauhath achee hai. This is the auqath of these judges and they have decided our fate.

I usually ignore Indians posting on internal Pakistani matters. Them being in India is suffering enough. But for the last few days, my blood starts boiling when I see an Indian flag

No progress or reform until judiciary is gutted and then rebuilt. There nakedness should be exposed so that all can see the ugly underbelly.

There is no national interest that can be fulfilled by putting three stooges on the throne. Americans will have direct line to the new Pakistani government. As a result Pakistan will lose the hard won trust of Russia and China. We have seen multiple times the damage Uncle Sam causes when it...

Interesting point that president has power to grant pardon. So even if speaker is held in contempt, president can override the courts. Deciding politics with legal mumbo jumbo never results in good outcomes. If buying of votes had been declared illegal by the courts, we then should have avoided...

Good point and possible. And its also likely that they would want to cause trouble in Xinjiang as well. Meeting with mullahs does not signal good intention. But most important benefit is that Americans can dangle Pakistan in front of India. Americans can promise Indians that Pakistan will be...

Good article. Huge ramifications for international relations with Russian and China. Americans are in heat and will ask for their pound of flesh very soon. Their tuttoos will have to comply otherwise Americans will play one side against the other. Both Chinese and the Russians see development in...

First, unlike 20 years ago situation in the west is changing. There are going to be less opportunities for Pakistanis going abroad. We see significant backlash against immigrants in most Western countries. Problem is going to get much worse when economic problems increase. Therefore Pakistanis...

After completing my bachelors degree in mid 90's, I returned to Pakistan as a fresh faced graduate full of hope and optimism. A very hot and uncomfortable work environment greeted me when I started work in Karachi with a foreign bank. Reason: Mr 10% wanted to squeeze the owner of our building...

Give it up PTI fans and just enjoy the tamasha. And there will be plenty of it. Nawaz Sharif's miraculous recovery will be just the start. Hope he is on his next flight back. Sight of convicted criminal walking around unmolested will be a good indication of where we stand. I am going to enjoy...

I have never begrudged military officers their perks. We live in a dangerous neighborhood and deal with enemies of low class and with little morality. Army officers know that they have to make the ultimate sacrifice and they should be rewarded as such. For Pakistan to prosper, army should be...

The biggest threat to salamati of Pakistan is posed by azad adaliya. Missile is not going to be of much help in a situation where dushman anasir can takeover the country by simply bribing dau takkay kay government officials in plain sight of TV cameras. Missiles are of little use in a country...

By the mid-70's, things got so bad that even American politicians developed a sense of shame and decided to do something about the nefarious activities of US intelligence agencies. Result was the Church committee and its findings make for a shocking reading even today. Due to the revulsion...

Sad to say and it should be obvious to patriotic Pakistanis that in Pakistan's context, "constitutionalism is the refuge of the scoundrel". As long as the judiciary and legal system is bent, all the high falutin talk of constitution and rights is just that - bull. Murderers walk free...
