That cannot be a one-way street. The reason DG-ISI got roped into the whole "corruption" drama is because they were asked to become part of the team investigating Sharif clan's corruption and dig up proof. So you cannot just use ISI to go after your political adversaries only. Once you bring...

Clown-fest continues...unfortunately these idiots do have some leverage when expats return to Pakistan. Be mindful and take care in that regard.

Keep the posts objective instead of petty venting please. Criticize but make the posts meaningful instead of the usual cursing and base insults.

77 is the number I recall for Pakistan currently. Had all the Peacegate deals gone through, then we were projected to have 111 F-16s in service.

Is there solid proof of "women" being "raped"? Has it been documented? Please provide sources.

Goes for 99% of Pakistani journalists. What amazes me is that we have utter imbeciles who cannot even get proper pronunciation of Urdu down (forget about angraizi) conducting talk shows with a background track that would beat CNN/MSNBC etc. Yet, the level of analysis and commentary is...

While I absolutely detest Maulana's personality, person and politics, why is his meeting with a Jewish politician problematic? Did our Islamic predecessors not talk and live with and amongst Jews? So why does the "yahud" issue always become a conspiracy? As for Fazlur Rehman, he is an...

I'll be a contrarian here. All tools are fair in this game of thrones. Honestly, one cannot play fair when everything happening is outside of the judicial system and the constitution. Some pressure from the US can help. The US should stand with the majoritarian stake in Pakistan. The age...

That won't fix anything. Then the other side would turn martyrs and this nonsense will continue. Our solution is to become Insaan kay Bacchae for once and for all. Let the elected governments run their god damned term and not interfere with it. The generals need to understand their...

Petty pride needs to be set aside. We are a country that has had nothing but foreign interference for the last 50+ years. It's just that outsiders did not bother with our domestic politics since it was trash from the start and it did not bother their interests. Now the domestic politics are...

Honestly, this does not sound, or look like the address of the CoAS speaking to his officers in a garrison setting. I heard another recording of a serving officer and he said the CoAS said we won't tolerate further destabilization etc. and then reverted to issues of pay/ration etc. There was...

Can you see elections happening with the current setup? Above is outside of the box thinking. What should happen is not happening clearly. Baat marnay maarnay pe aagai hai...thus the above suggestion. When two sides cannot reconcile, bringing in a third side is not a bad idea, as our...

Our internal dynamic clearly shows that we are a nation incapable of coming to terms with each other regardless of the right or wrong of the matter. I am ashamed to suggest this but thinking of what could happen, I would be thanking my lucky stars if Saudis or Turks talked some sense into all...

I think the dunda is of amreeki origin. Even if personally compromised, the sitting CoAS has enough means at his disposal to turn the tide around against PDM or even his predecessors and their set up (i.e. Bajwa and cohort) if they are blackmailing him. The issue is not with the Chinese. They...

This is not the reason. You folks keep on gravitating towards this rudimentary reasoning. If the argument is that army is doing all of this to continue with above perks, then recall that IK and PTI government never got in the way of it. The army had a free reign under PTI government and...

Is the above satire?

It's not that easy in this day and age. If anything happens to IK, the current leadership can forget about going into retirement in peace because a significant majority in the country will not be in a forgiving mood. The Army can certainly influence jailing him on various charges akin to NS...

Look at column 4. Your data suggests the same that Pakistan is at the very top. Sugary soft drinks (regular coke, sprite, Fanta is really popular), sugary foods, lack of exercise, diets high in carbohydrates (rice, naan, roti) etc. are all culprits.

People thinking and being right are two different things. If the diagnosis is wrong in the first place, how does one get a cure?

This is an extreme view. You have to keep in mind that the likely outcome is Morsi/Egypt situation in Pakistan. I don't agree with it at all, but before the break-up, there are countless other non-democratic scenarios to play out which will keep the country together.
