Finally, Pervez Musharraf decided to return to his home country after a five year self imposed exile in United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates. Will he be able to run his election campaign? Rather, I think we should ask will 'they' allow him to run for election?

Who Funded The Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudary’s Reinstatement Campaign?
On TV talk shows Khawaja Asif and Saad Rafiq both of PML-N were asking questions who funded the big gatherings of Dr. Tahirul Qadri and Imran Khan. What they were implying was this is funded by establishment. Indirectly, they were accusing Pakistan Army. Well, that is fine. They will get the answer by those respective parties. But we have another question. Who funded the big jalsas chaired by Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudary and where Ali Ahmed Kurd used to shack is head with long hairs and Hamid Khan presently of PTI used to say they will tear the uniforms for generals? That would definitely be of interest to people of Pakistan to know about that. Was it Pakistan Army? Was it Pakistan … [Continue reading]

Letter to Swiss Authorities Has Been Sent to Bern. Will This Letter Re-Open the Case? The Answer is No. The letter which was supposed to be sent to Swiss Court according to Pakistan’s Supreme Court’s instructions has been reached to Pakistan Embassy in Bern and most probably will be delivered on Thursday to Swiss Authorities.

Chief Justice Becomes Upset Because His Flight Delayed
Today Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudary became upset when his flight from Lahore to Karachi was late at Lahore airport. He called PIA officials and yelled at them. Should he have done that? Should PIA officials have presented to him? The answer to both of these questions is NO. PIA officials are not accountable to him so they should not have presented to him. Just because he is Chief Justice he cannot start yelling at anybody he likes. If he has any complaint he should have taken proper channel and report to this thing. He is not PIA’s boss. On the other hand PIA definitely don’t have very laudable record of flight punctuality but that does not mean any person in high … [Continue reading]
Altaf Hussain’s Referendum
An interview of Altaf Hussain was broadcast yesterday on a TV channel. There was nothing impressive nor did it show any political wisdom. However, today MQM issued a statement that there should be a referendum as Altaf Hussain wanted people of Pakistan to determine whether they want Qaid-e-Azam’s Pakistan or Pakistan which Taliban wanted.

This is just a political gimmick … [Continue reading]
