In losing Cecil Chaudhry saab, Pakistan has lost of its best sons and one of its brightest stars. Cecil Chaudhry saab’s loss should be felt by the whole nation for he was a true legend and a celebrated national hero who served his nation with distinction during war and peacetime. Cecil Chaudhry was a true [...]

Satan Drinks Shezan

March 14th, 2012

Satan drinks Shezan in Pakistan or at least that is one is supposed to believe in an increasingly intolerant Pakistan. The shameful decision by the Lahore Bar Association to ban the drinking of Shehzan in subordinate courts for its supposed Ahmadi links is more proof if any was needed of the ugly face of Pakistan. The [...]

Pakistan Minorities Day

August 11th, 2011

Three days before Independence Day on Aug 14, there is another day that should be marked in the country, celebrating the white strip on our green flag. Minorities Day on Aug 11 is a reminder of the address by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah before the First Legislative Assembly on that date in 1947, in which [...]

Asiya Nasir Zindabad

March 10th, 2011

Pakistan is in dire need of many Asiya Nasir’s, why is answered in the video below: Asiya Nasir’s speech should shame and awake all Pakistanis to the ugly face of today’s (read Zia’s) Pakistan. Asiya Nasir is an MNA from Balochistan who is right to criticise Pakistan’s treatment of her minorities.  The speech reminds us all of our [...]

Intolerance Killed Shahbaz Bhatti

March 7th, 2011

Intolerance killed Shahbaz Bhatti. It is the same intolerance that killed Salman Taseer before him and will kill many more unless Pakistan awakes from its comatose state and confronts and defeats the hijacking of Islam in its name. As I said in my post in January on Salman Taseer’s killing here, ‘the right to disagree, [...]

Bilawal’s Brave Words

January 15th, 2011

Bilawal Zardari has recently taken a vocal public stand on the blasphemy debate after the killing of Salman Taseer. In choosing to openly condemn the murder of Salman Taseer and the forces behind it, that have hijacked Islam to pursue their own evil ends,  Bilawal has shown strength in his convictions. A video of the speech delivered in the Pakistan High Commission is shared [...]

Intolerance Killed Salman Taseer

January 4th, 2011

Intolerance killed Salman Taseer today.  The right to disagree, even to hold an opinion and independently think for one self without fear or favour is no longer safe in the present Pakistan of hate. Pakistan’s soul as a nation is being wripped apart by the Talibanisation of the mind whereby might-is-right tendencies have given rise to the my-way [...]

Gojra Shames Pakistan

August 7th, 2009

For all Pakistani’s the month of August is synonmous with the celebrating of Pakistan’s creation. It is a month of hope and humour, fun and laughter and general optimism and a break from the daily grind and bad news that is modern day Pakistan. This August, Pakistan and Pakistani’s stand ashamed at the Gojra atrocity [...]
