Here is the much sough for speech of Mustafa Kamal in which, I feel, he has spoken his heart out. Openly and honestly, and this is the point of view of the average Pakistani today. (more…)

The last men standing: Iran & Pakistan

3 years ago

by Ammar in My thoughts, Pakistan, The World

Nuclear Pakistan and nuclear Iran; interesting neighbors these. Both countries are in the spotlight. One is in possession of a nuclear arsenal and the other is being accused of having the ‘desire’ to develop them. Although both follow an entirely opposite approach as of now, Iran and Pakistan remain the only two genuine, strong threats to American or Zionist hegemony over the world.

While Iran has been facing international condemnation against its peaceful nuclear programme, Pakistan is quickly gaining international attention too. This obviously could not have happened all of a sudden. A plot was laid, the cast set and the show has now begun. The story is now rapidly unfolding. (more…)

The right way out: Putting a full-stop to this political crisis!

You have all been witness to an absolute chaotic situation that our nation has been grappling with ever since the imposition of emergency on November the 3rd last year. I am not here to justify the steps taken by the President, nor do I favor those who exploited the wrong decision. I speak on neutral grounds, as a patriotic nationalist, a Pakistani who wants an end to this circus!

Nawaz & Asif: When will these meetings bear fruit?

3 years ago

by Ammar in General, My thoughts, Pakistan

February 18th it was when the nation voted in favour of the PML-N and the PPP. It was that day and it is to this day that we wait and wait endlessly for something positive to come out of all the so-called deliberations and discussions that have been taking place.

They have kept meeting time and again. As if on a vacation or something – from Dubai to Islamabad onwards to Murree and Bhurban. From there to Dubai again and off they go to London. The change of atmosphere didn’t help. They must have thought it would.

What have these deliberations and discussions been about? Judges? Judiciary? Or about how to plunder together – in an apparently civilised manner – sharing the big bucks on the basis of popularity assessed by the February 18th voting? After all, they’ve stayed away from this country for so long!

They’re meeting again. Now these meetings are held in their palaces. I presume this time it will be about the disqualification of Mr. Nawaz Sharif and Mr. Shahbaz Sharif from contesting the elections which is obvious and pretty much written on the wall. They’ve both been sentenced by a court of law and they shouldn’t be expecting anything positive either.

The PML-N says it may ask its partner, the PPP, to form its government in the Punjab too in case Shahbaz is disqualified.

May be its about pressuring Asif Zardari to use his contacts in the establishment to do something for the Sharif brothers!?

I’m surprised how all of their family men get elected un-opposed? Shahbaz’s son, Hamza too has been elected to NA-119 unopposed like Shahbaz himself got elected unopposed to the Provincial assembly.

Let us see how long these meetings continue. They are surely a big waste of time and money. Will they bear any fruit? I am the least optimistic about any positive outcome.

As far as the votes which brought them to power. We definitely need an ‘overhaul’ of our election process! Our politics at the national level is actually family-politics, personal struggles and the lust to dominate! It’s like a large house where a lot of people live like a joint family!

Why? Because all – ALL – all of them are related to each other, from somewhere or the other! Amazed? I’m not! I’ve seen this bunch closely enough!
