ISLAMABAD: The Senate defence committee was informed by the ministry of defence that Pakistan's defence budget is the lowest in the region despite its location in the red zone in terms of growing threats to its security. “Pakistan's defence allocation (US$5.7 billion approximately) is the...

Yes I agree. I am not denouncing him. He is guilty of suspending the constitution but he is not alone. All those who are trying him today should also be tried under the same Article 6. I am talking about the humanitarian grounds that he should be allowed to do last rites of his mother who is on...

By WASEEM SIDDIQUI The darkest day of Pakistan history, the day when a traitor who had committed the high treason by usurping the power from the first directly elected democratic Prime Minister of the country, sending him to the gallows, against all norms and ethics of the civilisation, is...

Ajmal made amends WASEEM SIDDIQUI They kept confounding me. They kept disturbing all my thoughts. They kept forcing me to think from a different angle when I thought that I am in a right frame of mind. In the end they won. I was kind of thinking about writing an obituary of Pakistan cricket...

WASEEM SIDDIQUI He was not Imran Khan. He was not Waseem Akram. He was not Waqar Younus. He did not match Imran in speed. He could not swing the ball both ways as Waseem. He was not able to bowl lethal toe-crushing yorkers at will like Waqar. But he was only an 18-year old. Naive and unable...

Right. And this is what I am trying to say. Nobody was expecting Afridi to repeat his Asia Cup heroics. It was one in ten million odds. But the questions are raised on the professionalism of the whole team. The fans expect a lot of them and they always disappoint.

WASEEM SIDDIQUI It's over. India were all over Pakistan It was a nightmare Pakistan would like to forget as soon as possible. From the word go it looked like Pakistan have seen a ghost. The ghost of Indian ascendency and their record of not to lose to Pakistan in any World Cup match. And they...

Thanks. It was a typing error. I stand corrected. And it has to do with 'big three'.

WASEEM SIDDIQUI It's that time again. It's quite a rarity nowadays than the days gone by. It comes twice in four years now. But when it comes it brings down everything to a standstill. It reaches the noise to a ear-shattering crescendo with stadium overfilled all the time but also to a...

WASEEM SIDDIQUI If it is too good to believe....it probably is For several days this saying constantly keeps hitting my head like a hammer. I have tried to find out who was the person who said it and why he said it. All my research and going through reems and reems of paper and a mountain of...

Copy pasting is one thing and expressing your thoughts in your way are two different things my friend. Obviously a report emanates from somewhere and one has a right to discuss it in his own words. You can take a good idea from anywhere.

I have never cared about what some one else feels. I say what I think is right. And by the way u r a senior yourself and I'm a new recruit. Thanks for the support.

Will Pakistan become the American junkyard after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan? There have been reports that the US is not interested in transporting back some of its military equipment keeping in mind the huge cost of shipping it back to the US and wants to hand over the $7billion worth...

I don't know how to erase them all. Would request the web master to please remove them all and my sincere apologies to everybody adversely affected. But again it was a pure technical error.

See I am not very technically savoy. It was a plain misunderstanding. Actually I was trying to thank all these people and thought this icon like I used to use on another page is for thanking. Reading you I found it was negative. Technical mistake and I feel sorry for that.

Yes the youth are the real asset of our country. And those are the one we pin our hopes on. Hopefully they will bring back all the glories.

How many negatives do I need to get kicked out. Don't think it'll take long.

Thank you very much. But I am not here to gather applause. And I am not a double face snake like.......you know who I mean. I say what I mean and loudly.

The world hegemony. Being dictated by others. This is what I hate and I think we cannot go into war with USA but cricket and ICC is not a war. We can at least show the 'big three' some teeth in my opinion. If you have not read Imran Khan's statement on this issue read it again. It is an...

Maybe sir I may sound pessimistic but in the heart of my heart there lies an urge to see Pakistan overcome all these problems and until we realise the gravity of the present circumstances we cannot overcome them.
