Butler in Public by Lt Col S. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz Created On: 10/Jun/2013 Views: 1524 Replies: 0 
During the recent swearing in ceremonies of the PM and others being televised live, I noticed a senior army officer pushing the chair for a dignitary, which took me back in years to1954. Allow me to narrate it in some detail:It was the first re-union of the Corps of Pakistan Signals, in March 1954, and the finals of the Inter Regimental Hockey were being played at the GHQ Signals Regiment Rawalp Click here to read Full Article

Crime and Punishment: by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 5/Jun/2013 Views:882 Replies:0 
Most culprits escape punishments from courts due to lack of evidence or the prosecution not doing their job proficiently. Consequently not a single terrorist has been punished so far and this fact alone is contributing a great deal in the lawlessness of Karachi. The prosecutors and the judges have to do their jobs better, but speaking realistically they too have their problems. Police, apart from Click here to read Full Article
Energy Crisis by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

The following letter was sent to the then PM SYR Gillani, which seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. May be the PM in the making MNS happens to read it and takes the measures suggested in it to deliver what he and his younger brother has been promising to the nation: Click here to read Full Article
 
Successful Politicians by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 31/May/2013 Views:1166 Replies:0 
Churchill while defining politics and politicians had said that a successful politician was the one who promised moon and stars to his electorate before the elections and after being elected to the power could explain to them as to why he couldn’t do all that he had promised. MNS has certainly grown up to qualify for that category of successful politicians. He has so far taken to explain Click here to read Full Article
Gujrat Tragedy by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 27/May/2013 Views:1636 Replies:0 
entirely agree with Rauf Klasra who on a tv talk show held the DPO and the DC Gujrat entirely responsible for the most tragic and untimely death of 16 very young innocent school going children and their outstandingly brave lady teacher, all burnt alive in the inferno of a van that got engulfed in fire due to the exploding of its substandard gas cylinder. The standard safety specifications for th Click here to read Full Article
 
The Coronation Sherwani by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd
Posted By: Riaz On: 27/May/2013 Views:1672 Replies:0 
How I wish the above news going rounds on the internet is not true. And if it is true, nothing could be more ridiculous than it. Would Nawaz Shareef look any more dignified in it than Manmohan Singh in his cotton Kurta Pyjama? Why can't he emulate his favourite Indian leader in matters of austerity and simplicity? How would he sermonize Click here to read Full Article
MQM and Opposition Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd
Posted By: Riaz On: 27/May/2013 Views:1667 Replies:0 
In a news item Altaf Hussain was quoted saying that it was yet not decided whether the MQM would sit on the opposition benches or join the PPP in forming the government in Sindh. Come on Tafu Bhai, people don’t have that short a memory and know it too well that in the Pakistan politics there are two shrewd politicians who can never afford to be out of the government – one the MQM and the other Ma Click here to read Full Article
 
PMs and the Umeras by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 24/May/2013 Views:731 Replies:0 
I just couldn’t help laughing when on a private tv channel I heard Mr. Shahid Siddiqui – an economist – commenting upon the possibility of a 15 billion dollar bail out by the Saudi government said, that it all depended upon Mian Nawaz Shareef’s going for Umera after becoming the Prime Minister and meeting with the Saudi monarch Click here to read Full Article
Self Respect - Whither art Thou? by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 23/May/2013 Views:1468 Replies:0 
It looks nowadays a PM doesn’t consider himself worth his salt until he is served with a couple of Contempt of Court notices and/or once or twice his orders are nullified by the SC or is sent home packing ! Of course not an iota of shame is felt by the contemning PMs in submitting their unconditional apology to the SC, not once but as many times as required because they don’t mean a bit of it and Click here to read Full Article
 
Obama Greets MNS by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 15/May/2013 Views:1045 Replies:0 
It is quite customary and ritualistic for the world leaders to greet and extend their good wishes to the winner of the general elections of a country who is likely to form the next government. However, it is not so perfunctory with the US president Mr. Barack Hussein Obama when he greets Mian Nawaz Sharif and felicitates him on his success. He has a definite interest bordering heavy stake in Paki Click here to read Full Article
MNS The Statesaman by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 13/May/2013 Views:1134 Replies:0 
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 Click here to read Full Article
