The Presidency, Zardari and the Constitution
Aug 31st
While the country prepares itself for Presidential elections on the 6th of September, I wonder how the PPP co-chairman (Asif A. Zardari) has managed to qualify. It has never been about democracy at all, it has been about revenge since the day they took over the government in February, democracy is just a weapon in this game.
This column looks at the eligibility of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari strictly in the light of the constitution of Pakistan, Articles 41, 62 and 63. More >

Aug 29th
A young Pakistani commentator tells the tale of Asif Ali Zardari and his success in making it to the top. He is known as the most powerful man in Pakistan today. She describes him as a man who saw his wife every day, in all her glory and he patiently stood behind her chair, overlooked as a part of the background.
Mr. Zardari today has a lot to be proud of, he can afford to grin at the camera when the people in the country have no gas, electricity or food.

Aug 24th
Enemies of Pakistan are on their toes as this should be the best time for them to do whatever they can to serve their vested interests. A meeting took place in India for attacks on strategic Pakistani military assets, attended by representatives from the CIA, MI-6, RAW and the MOSSAD. The Indian defense minister has strictly warned Pakistan that India is ready for “any eventuality” if Pakistan does not stop firing across the LoC, which is false.

Aug 20th
What had gotten the ANP in such a rut that they joined forces with the coalition? They vowed their alliance, if and only if the coalition promised to break the ISI, if not break then at least weaken from within. ANP had organized a rally for their party, what they had also organized was manslaughter of their own people. Because of ANP’s rather limited size and influence over the people of Pakistan, ANP was artfully meshed into the background yet with full privileges.

With the resignation of President Musharraf who had gained himself a notorious image in Washington for his tough stance on the Pakistani Nuclear program and the functioning of the ISI, Pakistan has effectively been left leaderless. There is political vacuum in the air and the nation anxiously waits for what comes next.
Let us analyze why it happened all so quickly and what the nation should brace itself for. More >

Aug 18th
The cat fight now begins after Musharraf has resigned from office, despite strong opinion polls sliding in his favour till late last night.
The issues that are going to split or rip the coalition apart are:
- Who will be the next President?
- How to restore the Judiciary in the next 72 hours.
Apart from that, most of us are worried about the following:
- The control of the ISI
- Integrity of Pakistan
- Sovereignty of Pakistan
- Nuclear Arsenal and American/CIA influence over it
I will Insha Allah write in detail on these issues soon. For now, I am disturbed at the very thought that Pakistan is now in the hands of world famous plunderers of the National Exchequer.
Musharraf had to quit, he was left with no other option, but the nation would have loved it if he could have revoked the NRO on his way out.
