Though I didn’t vote for the PML (N) yet the statesman like conduct of Mian Nawaz Shareef of the last two days has forced me not only to congratulate him on his victory but also welcome him to lead the nation. His very first proclamation of carrying along every political party with him that would strengthen Pakistan was a happy augury and he proved that by declaring that the PTI being the majority

Our cook asked for leave to go to his village to cast his vote. Out of sheer curiosity I enquired as to who will he vote for. “I don’t know”, was his simple reply. “I will just bring the ballot paper out and get Rs. 3,000/- for it”. What … smuggle the ballot paper out and not put it in the ballot box? How was it possible? Is the ballot box not kept under the constant vigil and view of the pres

The ECP yielding to the politicians’ request has removed the “None of the Above” box from the ballot papers.

Okay, agreed and let’s accept their view point. But if the turn out in any constituency is less

Musharraf is being castigated by all and sundry left and right for many things including the drone strikes in Pakistan. Yes, Musharraf did allow the use of drones but has anyone also given it a thought – why. Are the drone strikes doing harm to Pakistan or good? Who are they used against and actually kill whom?
