Friend, his rhetoric is only that: rhetoric. Obviously, victory will require a combination of tactics which is what everyone is saying. But Imran Khan is not even taking the first step. He is not giving anything practical either. He is just dissembling and confusing the issue, which is the point...

There is a debate going on in regard to a statement made by Imran Khan on the 16th of October: ‘We have local affiliates and supporters. Sure, I can give big statements against the Taliban but that would make them Taliban targets.’ Imran Khan evidently thinks the security of his...

Pakistan This analysis is flawed. There are three possible scenarios developing after the US/NATO withdrawal. 1) The Afghan government and security services not only stay intact but are able to retain control over previously held Pashtun areas of Afghanistan despite an active Taliban...

To all those whose posts I've deleted, stay on topic and keep the quality of the discourse high. Attack his arguments, not him.

Don't think hes going to reply to this, and I couldn't be bothered to edit it. Thought I'd just post it here. Dear Mr. Paracha, I was very enthused by your article regarding the Pakistan Army’s proliferation of extremism in Pakistani society. It was an interesting and well formulated...

I do not have that authority. Contact an admin, thanks.

I replied on the thread.

I emailed it but no response. Gosh it was a long time ago. I found this post on my wall from a member who cannot post here, but I'll post it on his behalf and respond to it anyway. Thanks for raising your points. When you say 'the military is corrupt' I feel you are generalizing a great...

You seem to know why Pakistanis fear secularism, and say it is because Pakistan wanted to be a separate state from India, but thats not a reason. Thats a rhetorical point at best, and one I do not agree with. Jinnah was the mastermind behind our independence and he made it pretty clear that...

The discourse in this thread has been very disappointing so far. Refrain from personal attacks or rants, I won't say this again. Everyone needs to take a step back and calm down. The Indian foreign secretary made a statement and it is our job as educated Pakistanis to address it...

I am sorry but there is very little I can help you with. I didn't make it in myself, and GDP is very tough. I wish you the best, try your best. Be calm and collected and confident, and remember this is not the end of the world. InshAllah you will get in.

Its all good. I miss having the time to post as well. Hope you're well.

Welcome aboard Marc :D

DAWN.COM | Columnists | Keeping the army in check I felt like probing this piece for rhetorical purposes. I suppose its a common theme pushed by many 'liberal' elements in our society. There are some very potent and appropriate points too though that go some way to moderate his criticism with...

Welcome to the crew! So excited to have ye guys aboard. :D

I do not see it that way. While the UNSC may have declared the LeT/JuD terrorist organizations, which is also our official state position, there is no resolution calling for the immediate arrest of Saeed's person. Especially not an unlawful arrest without charge. You need to clear facts. India...

Well, India already is trying to do everything to achieve a military capacity that will crush Pakistan. However, despite all that spending we're still at a rough military balance. The notion that a belligerent and threatening India emboldens the pro-Indian elements in our country is hopelessly...

He is hardly running around and making speeches now, let alone 'instigating' anyone. As far as 'known terrorist' goes, well to you he may be such. But since he cannot be legally linked to the crimes you accuse him of (without evidence to back it up) then I'm afraid he will remain out of jail...

Action was, is and will be taken against the terrorists, period. Everything else i.e. importance of US pressure is irrelevant. US involvement in the region is an intense and complex matter. US pressure will always be present. However, Pakistan always acts in what is in her best interest, with or...

Please understand that I don't really care how and why you've come to hold such unrefined sentiments in regards to my country. Having a balanced take on things is your own responsibility. If you choose or are obliged to be so selective and narrow in your analyzation of things then that is not...
