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…)

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.

Story of a nation that never learnt…

Once upon a time in southern Asia, there lived a nation, a nation that struggled for several years and ultimately won independence from their British rulers. They named their independent country, “Pakistan” (Land of the Pure).

Such was the passion and love for their new homeland that they migrated in millions from Hindustan over to Pakistan, sacrificing families, jobs and property. They were settled in refugee camps and temporary arrangements were made for their living until they settled, slowly but with patience and the will to succeed.

There were feudal lords here in the provinces of Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab and the NWFP; many of whom were opposed to the creation of Pakistan. They had no regard for what this nation, who struggled day and night for Pakistan’s independence, felt for what it believed was its homeland.

This nation, from 1947 up to the year 2008, has been marred by instability, disunity, assassinations and provincialism.

Jinnah, the founder of this country, died on the streets because he could never make it to a hospital on time. There was no proper ambulance for him. Its Prime Minister was shot dead in an open address in the city of Rawalpindi. (more…)

I really don’t know what’s going on and what the outcome of all this would be. I personally visualize an extremely uncertain political environment. Everything seems to be out of order and in chaos. Its been over a month now and we still don’t have an announcement on who our esteemed ‘Prime Minister’ would be. This article may turn a little aggressive towards the end, but thats the way I am when I write! (more…)
