THE PAKISTAN WE LOST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN OUR EGOS AND IMMORALITIES

[Norwegian]

Its used more in a POLITICAL SENSE and not in an Administrative sense BTW.

I have met, talked with lots of MQM supporters who literally believe every word of their Quaid, unlike Ilzam Khan's supporters who threaten with defection at every error he makes. In fact, PTI is the only party that is criticized the most and is held above standards that are usual for other parties. Its not only criticized by outsiders, but also by its own party members. That famous 35 puncture 'apology' didn't come from IK, rather from its senior member Arif Alvi of Karachi. How many senior MQM politicians can come on media and criticize Altaf, and then wake up by tomorrow?

Fanaticism exist throughout Pakistan so you would find such people as I have also Fid lot of those Traits among PTI supporters as well in Social Media Especially in fact there are way more Fanatics in PTI then MQM.

The whole Generation has Passed now and first Generation of MQM Leadership was Inexperienced and quite destructive while their second Generation of leadership has been quite Constructive though so their is Hope of Reforms within MQM which require some time because you cant Reform an Organization in a single day from top to bottom but seems like Media and Establishment are going too Impatient that tells their Intentions are not good and would create further Unrest in Karachi.

 

[Hyperion]

Who to blame?

One name:

Zia Mardood. May he and other Saudized generals of his generation and the ones he trained rot in hell. Ameen.

 

[WishLivePak]

I respectfully disagree. Without even going into the so called laws, it's a monachy. A system that is totally unislamic and NOT based in Sharia.

We can nit pick all day we want.

 

[HariPrasad]

The early we go back in time Karachi was a better place .. what a fck up now

I believe that Lahore was even more modern.

 

[third eye]

I wouldn't say that's bad at all. It's Sarey Jahan sey acha "am I right"?

No it isnt.

 

[OrionHunter]

the problem is we had series of "leaders" who were not visionary and dint develop for the future ....In fact didnt walk with time

Top that with 3 OVERLY itchy neighbours

Really? 'Itchy neighbors'?The problem with most of you guys is that you keep blaming others for the gross incompetence of your leaders. That's the easiest thing to do. Just put a tag on all your failures to the proverbial 'foreign hands' notably Afghanistan, India, Israel, Iran and the U.S. so that no one is held accountable for their shenanigans.

Habib Bank Plaza

Tallest building in South Asia till 1970 not 1992.

I am watching such photo's are being spreading on social media to spread the idea that Pre-80s Pakistan was a secular country, and somewhere we do lost our way. Which isn't the case.

If wine/dance parties, cinemas, ads, are our way to compare advancement then don't worry we lost nothing, but would have improved alot on that idea of lost Pakistan.

If you see old of Pakistan where 70% of population was living in villages, where people wearing pents were considered aliens, where women leaving out without proper cloth were considered bad. Not even villages, other than Karachi, Lahore, Multan, some kashmir and Islamabad rest whole country was under same thing. Even a city of GHQ was having same norm with civilians.

yes, it was peaceful time, but again it was peaceful till 2001 (other then karachi, karachi went bad because of MQM mahajir vs rest policy), peace went bad when our neighborhood changed to USA Marines force & when in 2014 it got changed back to afghanistan, we are again heading to peace. So problem definitely not Islamist but something else.

I believe that Lahore was even more modern.

Lahore and karachi are still modern to date

 

[M.SAAD]

So are you telling me that Quaid E Azam wasn't secular himself ??

Quaid E Azam's parsi wife.

 

[Biplab Bijay]

Our Leader Quaid E Azam wanted a secular Pakistan and not the Pakistan which we have right now, hijacked by some Mullah goons .

That is still under debate and not yet been cleared that whether Jinnah wanted a secular Pakistan or not.

Zia Mardood. May he and other Saudized generals of his generation and the ones he trained rot in hell. Ameen.

yup, this set the ball rolling, didn't it ?

damn shame

rest of the photos are great, you guys used to be much ahead of India back in those days when we were socialist and the US dollars were flowing into Pakistan, and there was peace.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

a couple of pictures of the upper class doesnt proves a single thing they can still get it anytime
but when we come to religious tolerance both bhutto and zia did a fine job fu.cking it up

 

[WAJsal]

Sad to see what's happening in Karachi, once city of light's and peace, now it's next to burning. We can't thank PPP and MQM for that.
As far as PIA is concerned what the hell happened. Sad pictures. Well we can't thank politicians enough for their efforts.
