2014-02-17T07:43:00.000-08:00

Taliban Talks and Pakistan's Plight

2014-02-09T06:44:00.001-08:00

It is very bad that finally Taliban have come of age. Prior to elections they held Pakistan's political parties at the bay and allowed only religious extremists to contest elections. NOw they are in virtual controll. I was horrified to read from the page of Irfan Sidique who left no stone unturned to please Mullahs. NOthing worst could have been accepted.

Lets wait for Mr Sharif to start endorsing the Likes of Mutaz Qadris.

Pakistan's Conflicting state??

Why Musharaf Should Be brought to justice

2014-01-06T21:47:00.001-08:00

Can some one ask him why he promulgated NRO?

He is answerable to us for his defamation campaign against Dr Qadeer Khan.

Gen Musharaf need to tell us where the natural Gas from the fields have gone? It was exported by Gen Khalid Maqbool and Gen Moin Haider and other cronies of former dictator. Media never raise the issue for investigation that where the gas has gove? Shame on Pakistan's media.

There is a need to know his source of income and also the accountability where the dollars received from the US had been. Wish a traitor had been sent to jail for at least few days.

It is also important that the deals he made with the Americans be also brought in the media. If the dictator flees now there will be little hope for the youth

Imran Khan: Another showdown in the offing?

2013-12-15T05:24:00.002-08:00

Once again Mr. IK planning for another tsunami on 22 December composed on latest tune “The Mangahi” in a very confident manner to let Pakistan caught again in whirlwind of national politics .

My practicable senses makes me unable to understand the value of such Dharnas, processions or hunger strikes having any importance to the daily routine matter of common man what so ever, the normal life of the most richest poor of this country, is based on every hour cursing his fate, in attainment to fulfil simple request made by his daughters and lately mourning over their dead bodies after these daughters commit suicide just for simple reason that their poorly rich father doesn't have enough money to buy them winter clothing for their school. I wept through my eyes and stand helpless cursing on the existence of this country for almost 67 years, and our politician remain busy to prevail demoniacal trend without any solution which definitely by now requires to be reversed. So I request Mr. IK that that if you are really very confident to change the course or to bought some relief to reduce burden from the shoulders of these people you are most welcome . But remember, this country is not the only country caught in the vicious circle of crises. Many countries have been able to settle similar problems and move on with added strength to other matters. The strength to move forward comes from the resolution of basic internal issues leaving behind the politics what you both parties are presently trying to do and let us be fooled but here I quote:
"We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, reconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practising letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations."

Why Imran Khan may fail

Taliban: Words and deeds of our elected PM

2013-12-14T05:59:00.001-08:00

With each passing day comes is our Prime Minister retrospect's, really proving against to his committed words to this nation of another personnel change to re-calibrate the Prime Minister House operation to win passage of most of his top legislative and welfare priorities for the year, struggled to preserve his public standing and bungled the roll out or signature to hold conclusive peace talk with Taliban's. A fresh infusion of people and energy can sometimes recharge against staff grown exhausted, like Mr Ishaq Dar, Sartaj Aziz, Ch. Nisar and many others. Therefore I suggest Mr. Prime Minister : “You always need fresh horses, and yet at the same time the horses have to work as a team, so it’s not as easy as people think,”

Nelson Mandela and our leaders - a food for thought

2013-12-07T20:56:00.001-08:00

Today during early time of the day while on breakfast table, it really shook me off when I come to learn about sudden demise of Mr. Nelson Mandela - a great leader indeed. It reminded me few of the traits of a good leader and especially when I equate nearly apostate situation of our motherland (Pakistan) presently cruising with an Omni-directional speed having all be-fooling techniques by our leaders or you may call it their surreptitious acts busy in hunting common person's interest just for their own gains. Name any one of them ever showed their deeds based on internal or external ambitions in sacrificing their comforts for this poorly fed nation. This reminds me one of Mr. Mandela quotes:-

"Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people."

Mr Mandela told these words to Mr Mir Umar Waiz Farooq during a meeting while he was seeking his support for Kashmir struggle. (Aamir Siddiqui)

Religious Extremism in Pakistan

Mullah - the (Miss-Leading) Decree

It is always good to write something in your own logic, to grasp certain things and made some good apprehension to accommodate oneself in surroundings. Try to find out what is bad in you, before you make critiques on someone look into yourself to find where the first criticism starts within you. Good things happen all of a sudden but bad thing happen only once. This I believe. At present this nation exists with lot kind of fears and illusions, the obvious reasons - our divergence from basic principals given by the great founder of this nation, "Unity, Faith and Discipline".

Many things I have read from the past and have learnt about Quaid whose biggest fear once attacked by fanatic Molvi’s, about the method and the influence they will try to raise, even at that time not sparing the Quaid on account of pure brother and sister relation (Jinnah and Fatima), although received a good reply From Jinnah: “Islam is a religion of justice and equality”.

Some of the Molvi’s are in habit of defining rules for promoting concept that they are heavenly gifted, deciding anyone’s destiny likely to earned on the Day of Judgment. On other side I have never heard an example of these Molvi’s sending their own child to Jihad against the enemy of Islam even during the Afghanistan invasion by the Russian or during Indo – Pak war of independence.

Lately, in our history there exist one renowned and the most popular person who found space to take birth in the history of Pakistan, Zia – Ul – Haq. Now I am really confused what to address, in relation to everyday problems of Pakistan from many facet directions - should I discuss the personalities, the military or civilian regimes or the trend we have set in last 65 years to justify our existence on global map, people like Munawar Husain (JUI) and Fazal – ur – Rehman JUI(F) now defining another status of Shaheed to our society and making them more confused. What does the Dog status means to Moulana, knowingly well what our beloved Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) has said for this creature as a sign of abomination. Mr. Fazal – Ur - Rehman do you have the simplest reply to this question. The history never hide facts if we start discussing you Mr. Fazal – Ur – Rehman, as you are very popular in getting certain favors from Americans during different regimes. Now you have ridiculed the Islamic injunctions on the concept of martyrs – Shame.

Another thing that stands very centric to the present situation, the role of Mr. Chief Justice, by now he should have been in consultation or investigated from many other clerics and lawyers from Shariat court to ask these two Molvi’s in defining their part of definitions about our martyr and playing with the sentiments of this great nation.

It just made me laugh eccentrically, that my nation is so simple and has serious problem to forget their past after every short intervals if put in some way to lowers sense of dignity or self esteem in such a political manner that the crucial problems are put behind (At present no one is worried for their basic need) “Tomato 200 Rs per kg” ……… Hahahaha.

National Assembly – with no national ethos just gathered to have two kind of session – one outside the assembly and the other inside the assembly on minor rift to vanquish interior minister on some wrongly quoted statistic on drone casualties. We have such a great leaders.

In last I must say, “PLEASE DON’T BLOW BUZZING HORNS ON THE STREETS As THE NATION IS SOUND ASLEEP”. Presently this so called Nation really needs a leader who could act like Kamal Ataturk and form a government under the good leadership of TTP ……….. Just Laughed, you might be thinking what I am saying at the end, well it is not Therik - e - Taliban Pakistan but some formation of literate from our society having true religious belief with Illem - o - fehim (Lawyers, educationist, economist, Muftis, Mashahik, poets, reformist) to form an organization named as Therik – e –Thafooz –e - Pakistan, so that the fear of TTP ends, a need of time and our fortune Good Luck Pakistan.

What Obama's Speech Mean for Pakistan

2012-05-03T12:47:00.001-07:00

There is nothing New for Pakistan. President Barack Obama has celebrated the anniversary of his success at Afghanistan. An election campaign where the US President made a speech when everyone was sleeping in Afghanistan and a prime time in the US.

Lack of Trust on Pakistan
People of Pakistan know that the US was deceived by the former Pakistan President General Musharraf, but then Musharraf was a dictator and the US had endorsed him to the dismay the people of Pakistan. Musharraf not only was a lair who killed innocent citizens in Balochistan but he was also not reliable. People of Pakistan understand the US frustration but then it was their own fault that they always trust military rulers in Pakistan. Shame on you the Bush administration. Now you want to punish democratically elected government only because you got lack trust? It was very simple if you trust a person who deceived his own people, one who violated the constitution of his own country, who was disloyal to his own institution - he did not allow deserving generals to rise to the rank and perpetuated his rule.

US frustrations is understandable after all they had invested so heavilly in Afghanistan and Pakistan but unfortunately they were betrayed by Musharraf. What is frustrating people of Pakistan that Americans have always been using cash to decide the fate of innocent citizens. During the war against former Soviet Union when the US funded Madrasas they were wrong too. Not knowing that those receiving money for madrassas were not the true blievers. No muslim will take money for Jihad from a Christian. Those who got money from the US were the fake people. So now they US military is expected to stay for a longer period. Persumably not to create the situation that was one before. At least President Obama's speech was reflection of that.

US President Going for Election is not Trustworthy
I am not worried how many Pakistanis are killed by the US drones. I am not worried if US again ditches a democratically elected governemnt, no surprise. What alarms me most is that the US President was not in the frame of mind of the PResident of a responsible statte. But he was probably in electioneering-mode! Obama's in his bid to please the large audiences blamed Pakistan to coverup the wrong backing of a dictator by the US for so long. Shall Pakistanis charge him for war crimes? Obama had no mikes embeded in Afghanistan to reveal his disarmament plans as happened in Russia. Obama's electioneering boasting has endangered the regional peace in South Asia.

Complicated Relationship
Ther is no doubt that the US relationship with the Pakistan has remained complicated. People of Pakistan understands that why the US chose Zia ul Haq ( a military dictator ) to rule for so long in the country.. Why they still talk to the military rather that the elected government. "I have made it clear to its neighbor -- Pakistan -- that it can and should be an equal partner in this process in a way that respects Pakistan's sovereignty, interests and democratic institutions," Obama said. Wish the US President had respected any of the words. He had been killing people of Pakistan at the indication of the Army.

If the US has to ease and straighten its relations with Pakistan better talk to the elected government and not to the military dictators. How can Clinton point fingers to China when when US record on human rights in Pakistan is questionable.US has yet to address to the concerns of Pakistanis towards growing Indian presence in Afghanistan. India has already endangered south Asian by unusual proliferation of nukes in the region.

Voice of Pakistan is actually noise of Pakistan. Dear readers, people of Pakistan are dynamic and peace loving humans thrown into a situation, by a handful of people and vested interests, where living space is squeezing. This blog is a breathing space where people of Pakistan can vent their opinion against exploitation. I shall also request to be decent and polite so your view point is communicated well. I understand media is complicit in Pakistan over certain issues and I also request you to use any topic where you feel injustices are being met out. I shall appreciate of every contributor adds a brief profile at the end of post or comments. I also understand the threats that you may be feeling in that case you are at liberty to voice you true feelings.

A message for all...

Bureaucracy. Pakistan's corrupt bureaucracy is at the core of corruption. These officials drag politicians into the corrupt practices to blackmail them. A politician makes money for maybe four years and a bureaucrat does for more than 40 years (throughout his job). This blog is also an opening for the politicians of Pakistan not to get black mailed by these elements. If some thing has gone wrong no problem, just speak truth to the people of Pakistan, admit your mistakes and we hope you shall serve the people of Pakistan better than these corrupt officials.

Corruption. A buzz word in Pakistan. If you have strong evidences do share with us. If someone feels he is being wrongly indicted in some case do let every one know through this blog.

Consumerism. People of Pakistan are being robbed off their hard earned money by various companies. They are loosing lives and media is silent because they do not want to loose ads revenue. Do let us know. Companies being blamed are also requested to clarify they positions through these pages.

Your contribution to this blog shall inspire us to continue to through miseries and develop a courage to face the criminals at large and bring them to justice. So.. lets make and an attempt to live it out.
