@Suriya if I were an Indian, I would not be posting such news on an international forum, and giving it more publicity. I would be too ashamed that this is happening in my country, just like I was absulutely mortified about what happened in Sialkot a couple of years ago with the Sri Lankan man...
I don't think IK is an angel. I think he is a sincere leader and is not being hypocritical when he talks of Islam, honesty, etc. But he is human. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that he has done something wrong or embarrassing. Honestly, we all have. And if not for Allah's mercy...
Movies and TV almost always rewrite history. All the period movies produced by Hollywood and even the BBC depict the past very differently from reality. The past is often romanticized. The sets are clean, the costumes appeal to modern tastes, and the makeup is contemporary. If you don't do that...
People need to calm down. So some Afghans got a little excited. It happens. The vast majority of Afghans did not act in an inappropriate manner. Let's not judge all Afghans based on the actions of a few.
Pakistanis aren't angels either. Some of us can also get carried away and act like...
Genuine question: Does blocking youtube really reduce the number of viewers? My guess is that people who don't catch the speech live will just go and listen to it later. That's what I do. Maybe blocking live coverage does have an impact. Any thoughts?
I think everyone is missing the point. Bajwa junior shouldn't even be meeting Nahyan bin Mubarak, let alone Jay Shah.
In a fair world, this guy would be a nobody. But in the case of Pakistan, he is a very important person, because he provides access to Gen Bajwa. So essentially he is only...
Precisely because he is not a big name. He is a soft target. His arrest and torture serves as a warning for other journalists. Arshad and Sabir are out of the country. Sami and Ayaz will elicit sympathy because of age. Imran Riaz is much too popular. Jameel was the easiest target.

I have always believed that the army ultimately had Pakistan's interest at heart. For the first time, I have doubts. Even if its only the top brass who is at fault, why is everyone else quiet. Military discipline and chain of command are not more important than one's duty as citizen or as...
At first I thought the video was real. Then I noticed the guy in the blue shalwar kamiz was rather short. SG is taller than IK. The guy in the video is definitely not SG. It's a fake.
This anger you feel about what he said, he is feeling about what the powerful have done with Pakistan. You're taking it out on him. He's coping by expressing his profound sadness about what has happened to the country that gained its "independence" on Aug 14, 1947. You two are not that different.
People may differ about the role of Islam in Pakistan. My main objection here is not even religious. My problem with this event is that it lacks class. Such a performance is not dignified. It's crass. Unfortunately it reflects the mentality of those in power these days.
