The ANP: Artfully meshed to the background
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.

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.
