I'm by no means defending the extremists in India. The RSS and Shiv Sena who don't want to see peace are entrenched in their right-wing views. There is a problem there no doubt, and they aren't a bunch of very nice people. However, I think some context is required when comparing India's...

Two points: As others have mentioned, we shouldn't rely on others to 'rescue' us. A country that can't rescue its fellow Arab 'brothers' the Palestinians, doesn't have a chance in hell in rescuing Pakistan

I wonder if anything ever happened against the owners? Anyone know?

I've asked you once already, I'll ask again: like what? Who has he sent down? Which bigwig has gone down having dabbled in corruption, tax evasion or whatever? Rather than throw insults (which is what those without an answer do), please enlighten me as to what the glorious Chief Justice has...

Where do you want me to start? A few reasons: A total lack of true leadership, defending muslim interests as we'd expect (e.g. Palestine) A corrupt monarchy that is fully owned and paid for by the West (particularly the US) Their treatment of non-Saudi's in KSA, viewing them almost as...

Like what? Which corrupt politician has been convicted and sentenced in his tenure? Who has he sent down for whatever crime it may be from the rich and powerful? For a man who 'was unaware' about his son growing from nothing to running a Rs.900m business in 3 years, I struggle to see why you...

Incredibly sad, painful and upsetting news. What she suffered makes my heart sink, but I applaud the protests and pressure on the inept government by the public. Anything less than death as punishment for the culprits will be pointless. An example must be set, and I hope that it is.

You see, India will hold on to what it has now for the rest of time. It's not going to give it up barring a massive and sustained uprising, perhaps in the Syria mould. Even that would have to have an armed dimension, and those arms and support would have to be provided by us which would be a...

I think Mirwaiz is inflating the negotiating prowess of Pakistan here, and I'm sure he knows it. India's stance is pretty simple and firm - Kashmir is a bilateral issue, no ifs, no buts. The moment India talks of trilateral dialogue, it's committing political and diplomatic suicide by...

Stop barking the word 'democracy', 'jamhooriat' which is all the PPP does. That isn't present in Pakistan, and you've not introduced it in Pakistan. The only thing you've introduced and pushed is a dynastic dictatorship. There are no elections within your own party, and yet you talk of...

Due process? Law to trial culprits? How much of that have you seen over the pass 5 years? When every single scam and story of corruption, nepotism, tax evasion amongst the ruling elite has been laid bare, and nothing has happened, you talk about due process and trials? This is the ignorance I...

I know they don't, but that's the point I'm making in that they're forced upon us. Anyone with half a brain cell would realise that the Bhutto's and their kind couldn't be further from the notion of democracy, and have done nothing to further or strengthen the institutions they so gladly...

And anyone who steals from our poor country, empowers her husband who does the same, brings in her cronies to power like Makhdoom Fahim and many others, ensures that democracy cannot take root in her own party, let alone the country is an enemy of the STATE. And as a citizen of Pakistan, I'm...

The Great Martyr?? Sacrifice their lives for democracy?? What nonsense! Bhutto and her lot have done nothing for democracy, but prolonged their corrupt dynastic role in Pakistani politics. It's not exclusive to her lot, but someone like her who made Mr 10% Minister for Investment in 1996...

The writer makes points which are fairly obvious to most. Kashmir simply doesn't have the same resonance for the average Pakistani, as it once may have. And even in those times, any feeling of anger / sympathy / frustration was fuelled by the state media machinery. The past 10 years has seen...

Not sure, but the menu can be found here: KFC Pakistan Also worth mentioning that KFC in Pakistan does help the community as well. The Lahore KFC I went to employs mainly blind people which was incredibly refreshing to see in a country like Pakistan. Those with special needs, disabilities or...

No punishment. Those that were momentarily arrested were released after the right-wingers had a word with the police. And Maulana Diesel has congratulated the nation for their 'successful' protests. Meanwhile, nothing is achieved with these violent protests apart from Rs.80bn in damage, 20...

So does that justify this criminal and mindless act?

If it hasn't been said already, then Bilour should be sacked without delay. Never can a minister in cabinet, of any government wanting to be part of the civilised world promote murder. It's incredibly reckless from this fool who has presided over the worst period for PR in history. Not only...

Show the same protests on the street that idiotic Pakistani's do when they scream, shout and destroy public property in the name of causes that won't improve their daily lives? They're happy to come out and vent their anger for muslims in Myanmar, despite not knowing where the country exists on...
