A fantastic track record of governance!on July 29, 2020In what is being described a fantastic track record of exceptional ‘hip-beating performance’ in last two years, when his most wealthy minister Azam Swati had to resign from his cabinet post in the initial days of IK government to allow public accountability to take a natural course following a controversy over transfer of IG police […]
Simla — 48 Years Of Peaceon July 2, 2020Ever since the change in governments both in India and Pakistan relations between the two countries have remained dicey although there has been some glimmer of hope some times. Prime Minister Imran Khan was the one who gave benefit of doubt to Prime Minister Modi and openly declared that he had strong feelings that he […]
Now ball is in the court of Lord aboveon June 24, 2020Whenever there is a high profile case before the honourable Supreme Court one vainly expects that perhaps now is the time for our apex judiciary to rewrite its history-correct its false trajectory of acting in criminal subservience to the executive currently branded as deep state. Indeed, the ‘selected ten’ instead of chartering a healthier course […]
Benazir Bhutto – As I Knew Heron June 21, 2020The dastardly assassination on 27 December 2007 of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan’s twice-elected Prime Minister and the Islamic world’s most outstanding ever female leader, entailed the loss of a rare voice of wisdom and sanity in a world characterised by conflict and uncertainties. Universally acknowledged as a bridge between East and West, Benazir Bhutto was […]
Pakistan — a most vulnerable countryon June 10, 2020Writing in the well-read World Healthcare Journal, my review of the pandemic world over and especially Pakistan drew a bleak picture.

A leadership muddled by indecisiveness, has not been able to come up with a well thought out policy to […]
Matters of the moment!on May 27, 2020Thank God, Science and Technology Minister Fawad Choudhry has had his way with the controversial Ruet-I- Hilal muftis and maulvis. He got the proverbial Seven Blind Men at last see the Moon to bury for once the usual controversy over the sighting of the Eid Moon. It made us all proud to celebrate Eid on […]
Pornoghraphy Trader & Lhcon May 20, 2020Notwithstanding the Coronavirus pandemic and its deathly devastations world wide, in Pakistan normal people find their hair standing at their ends when they continue to hear dreadful news about increasing number of children dying or rendered into living corpses by paedophiles, mounting in numbers unabated and undeterred with conniving police and criminally partisan judiciary. The […]
Surrender most foul!on May 13, 2020One must give full credit to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah for having grasped the gravity of the situation at the outbreak of devastating COVID in Sindh.

Let us develop attitudeson April 29, 2020The other day Prime Minister Imran Khan attended to a Telthon to raise money to fight Coronovirus pandemic. He was witnessed and covered by some of the leading TV anchors.
