More than anything else, this was the sentence that worried me the most. We must do something, our politicians seem unwilling. Pakistan, including Karachi, is as much theirs as it is mine or yours or anyone elses. MQM should take direct responsibility for this, as this is their main territory...

A few failures do not mean HAL can't get anything right. But it is true, when you are an up-and-coming organization like HAL is, failures in such high numbers and importance is not good for business. That said, I still expect HAL to become a successful defence exporter in the future, just don't...

This journalist has been looking at this region through an independent lense for a very long time. He is not pro-Pakistan, his other interviews make that quite clear. However, the Kashmir issue is one of those issues where it's difficult to stay neutral, much like the Palistine issue. One side...

"giving billions of dollars to Pakistan"? You think this is charity we're getting? You think the US is doing us a massive favor? What we get from the US is a small portion of what we are currently spending on the operations against Taliban, Al-Qaeda and associates in our West, something that was...

Not great insight into Pakistan's politics or military. I wouldn't expect anything else from an Eastern neighbor except cheap-shots at the Pakistan Army. I'm also glad, to a certain extent, that there is this much paranoia regarding our Army in India. We're clearly winning in the arena of psych...

What?! One reached political heights with the help of a corrupt criminal leader in exile, the other has massive delusion issues. It will be a case of "aasman se tapka, khajur mein atka" for us. I wouldn't support either in an election, unless Kamal cut off all ties with Altaf Hussain (the guy...

What?! And he is doing this how? He is more cut-off from the general public than Louis XVI of France was before the French Revolution. These have not represented Pakistanis at all. But, I'm not surprised. I had expected this from his supporters. They will blame the Army, they will blame PML-N...

If the Americans can refuse to give my grandmother a visiting visa without providing legitimate reasons (like she is some 65 year old female terrorist), what right to they have to expect us to offer them the opportunity to come into our country without due process, especially when they obviousl...

82%? The Generals don't have access to 82% of the national budget. They don't even have access to all of the defence budget. Patriot, you are correct, but I would agree with the kamcos above, there seems to be far less known about the wrongdoings and corruption of the military command than...

Thank you, my friend. I was looking for the complete list as well. You won't believe how happy looking at this list made me. Not because I dislike the people on there (most people I don't even know), but because, finally, there is evidence of some Transparency and Accountability. These two...

You can't stop the President from travelling abroad, he has indemnity. I believe he has immunity even from trials, which is quite a slap in the face of Pakistanis. Zardari's basically saying, "I'm untouchable, b*tches!" Though, I don't think he would have slept too well last night. His...

If his/her name appears on the list, then they can be tried like any other Pakistani civil servant, but I am not aware of any ISI members on the beneficiaries list. Why would they need to be anyway? it's mostly politicians who were granted amnesty, most likely in return for support after the...

The road is almost begging to be driven on quickly. The incline and decline, the sudden turns, the blind turns. We should hold a rally on the M2, seriously. So many famous rallies and races have in turn made the cities they are held in famous, including Le Mans, Indi 500, Dakar etc. This could...

Sir, it is your right to complain about the shortcomings of the judicial system. The judiciary is much more "free" than it has ever been before. Tell me, is it the job of the Courts to set the price of sugar? Should they also be running the mills? or should we, instead, criticise the politicians...

No, it means that for the first time we do have a free judiciary, and it is willing to challenge corrupt politicians on behalf of the population, the way it should have always been. It means that for the first time, there will be accountability. It also means that from now on, every dog, before...

Congratulations to all Pakistanis. Accountability is not dead in our country. This decision alone validates the movement for a free-judiciary. Well done, Mr. Chief Justice. Two names I want to see punished before all others; Asif Ali Zardari and Altaf Hussain. Both these men, and their parties...

Sohail Tanvit a Twenty-20 or death-ODI bowler. He bowls straight-forwardly, and very accurately, but he is not a big swinger of the ball and isn't as crafty as, say, Mohammad Asif. Of course, Mohammad Sami isn't very crafty either, but he can swing, he can bounce and he has pace. Mohammad Aamer...

Kashmir Conflict 101 Eric Margolis is an award winning American-Canadian scholar and journalist who, for over two decades, has been studying the Asian Sub-Continent and its relation to the West. In particularly, he has spent much time going back and forth between Pakistan, China, India and...

Don't be so quick to judge man. Mohammad Sami showed some talent when he first arrived, I remember very well. I was one of the people asking for his head after the ODI World Cup, but when you think about it, he never really had any supporting bowlers at the time of the quality he will have...

Deny, deny, deny. Anybody who calls you out on your lies is a liar, anybody, be it satan himself, if he sides with you, is a saint. It seems Indian and In-denial are synonyms.
