The TV channels in the country air the political talk shows with such abundance that they cannot always find quality politicians to participate in them. The second and third rung politicians in their eagerness to outdo each other and prove themselves more loyal than the king not only present a scene out of a fish market – all talking simultaneously without listening to the other - but also e Click here to read Full Article

On the one hand Raymond Davis' involvement with the terrorist TTP, enabling it in carrying out devastating bomb blasts in the country including on the army and ISI installations with a view to destabilising Pakistan, is an almost foregone conclusion. And, on the other hand the purpose of Senator John Kerry’s recent visit is said to be was to smooth over tensions (AP), seek Davis's return to the Un Click here to read Full Article
 
Raymond – a God sent Opportunity by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 18/Feb/2011 Views:1868 Replies:0 
I feel the public opinion is being molded in a subtle way by the government, part of the media and some 'intellectuals' in the favour of releasing Raymond if he otherwise could not be granted diplomatic immunity. Raymond is no ordinary 'consultant' as is evident from the way the entire US government machinery including President Obama are acting in this matter. The USA with her immense political Click here to read Full Article

I wonder if anyone else too has of late experienced a phenomenon on the Mobilink network that happens to me. As soon as I make a call and it matures it drops off automatically forcing me to call again. In this way I think I am paying for two calls instead of the one that ultimately takes place. My cell phone seems to be Okay as it doesn’t happen when I make a call on the other network for which Click here to read Full Article
 
GOVERNOR by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

A few days back when a reporter at the Karachi airport asked Mr. Latif Khosa as to why he was there, was told that his party leader (Zardari) had ordered him to be there and there he was. However, his ecstatic body language, twinkle in the eye and under-the-lip smiles conveyed unmistakably to the viewers of his gubernatorial selection for the largest province of the country. Obviously such i Click here to read Full Article

Our Leaders and Governance? by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 26/Dec/2010 Views:2121 Replies:1 
A cursory review of the events on any given day is enough to cast a spell of gloom and disgust among the nation. What a country with great potential the Quaid had bequeathed to us and to what a dismal present have we brought it to by our sheer poor governance?
