Musharraf’s inquisition: Reason why Youtube was blocked in Pakistan

It is being claimed by the telecommunication authorities in Pakistan that youtube was blocked for featuring allegedly blasphemous documentaries. While this move if triggered by this motive is as foolish as burning an entire library just because on a page of one of the books someone has scribbled a couple of words against you, it […]

Urgent: Mr Musharraf and western leaders, don’t even think about it!

The government is reportedly leaning on the Swiss court to step up the case against Asif Zardari, the leader of the People’s Party.

The people of Pakistan reject extremism

Raza Rumi 
The election results notwithstanding the irregularities and fears of rigging, are pretty straightforward. They undo the Musharraf paradigm of ousting the two mainstream parties from the political arena; and instituting real democracy that is hostage to the bogey of Islamism and local feudal cliques through non-party local governments.

Pakistan: Change at last …!!! What does it mean?

Results are still coming but trends are clear. If the people of Pakistan are united on a one point agenda it is that they want Musharraf out. They want PMLQ to just disappear. And they want the new government to rethink the policies. But before we make sense of these pointers let me concede some […]

Rigging that the world refuses to see

As the country moves slowly and cautiously towards elections, fears are mounting of instability and bloodshed. These fears are compounded by the widespread belief that rigging of enormous proportion will take place during the elections. To top it all the country’s government and the world leaders are behaving as if you can hide these facts […]

Pakistan: Two predictions for the election day and two for the election/result night

Only few hours are remaining in the start of the election day and I hence venture to make some predictions. First, this will be by far the bloodiest election day in our history and the start of this bloodshed was witnessed last night when a PML-N candidate was killed with his associates.
