Zardari's wrong decision
Writing in Jang columnist Irfan Siddiqi stated that it was a wrong decision on the part of President Zardari to be party chief and president at the same time. As party chief he should have stayed away from presidency because president is a mere decoration (araaishi) while Zardari was powerful party leader. Hence the Presidency became a mere party headquarters. He put party interest on top and ignored the interest of the nation as a whole which a president must represent. Even a Lahore High Court decision in this regard did not convince him to give up his office as president.
 
America caused Indo-Pak wars
America, the all-powerful -- an interesting meme.
Columnist Nazeer Naji wrote in Jang that the speaker of Haryana Assembly from India was right in saying that America always gave weapons to Pakistain to fight India
...starting back in the day when Socialist India was firmly in the Soviet orbit...
and it was in fact America who was behind the hostility between Pakistain and India.
Right. As if Pakistan needed help from outside.
Pak leaders kept on receiving weapons from America and fighting India even after 1990 when after being used by the US against the Soviet Union America had no need to arm Pakistain.
 Didn't we cut them off for a while because of the nuclear thingy?
Haqqani shouldn't come to Pakistain
Writing in Express Abdul Qadir Hasan stated that when Husain Haqqani came to Pakistain to face the trial of treason against him he met him and told him that he had made a mistake. Pakistain was too much in trouble to think right. Haqqani was treated differently from Mansoor Ijaz, something about which everyone had become aware even the prime minister who was now complaining. The lawyers were making hay while the sun shone and were becoming famous by siding with someone who was clearly no friend of Pakistain against an angina patient who wanted to be treated equally.
 
America wants civil war in Pakistain
Famous ex-ISI boss Hameed Gul
...still busily pulling strings behind the scenes...
told Jinnah that America was busy conspiring to cause a civil war in Pakistain while making Pakistain and India sign secret deals to the detriment of Pakistain. He said it was no use under these circumstances to hold elections in Pakistain. What was needed was a revolution to save Pakistain from destruction.
Does anyone else think he might have a few candidates lined up, just for funsies?
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed commander of Mujahideen!
Chief if Jamaat Islami Munawwar Hasan said in Jinnah that Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain...
of Jamaat-ud-Dawa
...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
was a commander of all mujahideen. He was an extremely important person but America erred by not estimating his real value when it put a prize on his head. His real value was hundred times more. Had the government looked at Kaaba as their destiny Pakistain would not have come to this pass.
 
How Mohammad Asad was treated
Writing in Express Oria Maqbool Jan stated that Pak bureaucracy inherited its nature from the British Raj and after the demise of Jinnah acted against the interest of the Islamic state. They set fire to the office of Muhammad Asad the great convert to Islam and translator of the Koran who was working on Islamic sources of the law to assist the country in making its first constitution. The various nationalities of Pakistain were united by one factor - the Kalima Taiba - but the bureaucracy did not want to see the state becoming Islamic.
 
Prayer at Ajmer Sharif useless!
Indian demagogue Bal Thackeray was quoted in Mashriq as saying that Pak president Zardari was making a futile effort to go to Ajmer Sharif to pray at the tomb of Moinuddin Chishti because anyone who had evil designs on India will not be looked at with favour by Ajmer Sharif's saint. He said Zardari's visit to India will neither lead to improvement of Indo-Pak relations nor to any lessening in terrorism.
 
Imran Khan versus Uncle Sam!
Famous columnist Haroon Rasheed wrote in Jang that civil and military views on the US were different. Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
and the religious parties are ready to face up to the US (datt jana) but the PPP and PMLN's billionaire politicians were impressed with imperialism and were reluctant to oppose the US although they indulged in anti-US slogans. Fazlur Rehman and Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari
... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ...
were all naked inside the bath (hamam main nangay) but outside they were all wearing long robes. Ch Nisar Ali Khan was fearless but his party was retreating. The same was true of PMLQ's Mushahid Hussain.
 
'My father's funeral was in Kaaba'
Issuing rebuttal in Nawa-e-Waqt Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
said that Zardari was guilty of indecent language when he said that Nawaz's father Mian Sharif had a desolate funeral in Lahore and no one came to bless him forcing the family to take the hearse to Data Darbar. He said his father's funeral prayer took place in Kaaba in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face...
, the most sacred place in the world. Mariam Nawaz said that it was attended by hundreds of thousands of people.
 
Siachen belongs to Pakistain
Columnist Hamid Mir stated in Jang that since Siachen was included in Gilgit-Baltistan it was not mentioned in the Simla Agreement of 1972. In 1984 India grabbed Siachen when General Zia was in power after which the Pak Army had to go and set up posts against the India army on Siachen. Since 2003 the two armies are not firing at each other but casualties are many due to frostbite. Both India and Pakistain contain people who hurt their countries' own interest and that includes people like Ajmal Kasab who confess after four slaps (char thappar).
 
Rafiq Tarar reveals facts
Ex-President Rafiq Tarar told Nawa-e-Waqt when Nawaz Sharif was tossed by Musharraf he was pushed around by General Mehmood and thrown in a black car and taken to jail (kaal kothry). Earlier president Tarar was told by Nawaz Sharif over the phone that 'they were coming'. Tarar stated that he accepted to remain president under Musharraf because he feared that Nawaz Sharif too would be killed like Bhutto. He said Nawaz told him to remain president. Musharraf too asked him to stay on because otherwise Pakistain would have been declared rogue state (badmaash).
 
CIA is 'Porus ka hathi'
Writing in Jang Hamid Mir stated that CIA was once called Porus ka hathi because it harmed its owner, the US. Raja Porus fought Alexander with elephants that turned around and crushed the army of Porus underfoot.
It was the Greek mice, as everyone knows.
Now when Pak parliament was about to deliver its verdict on an independent foreign policy trouble in Gilgit-Baltistan has been started. He stated that parliamentary committee debating recommendations revealed that no party had asked to bring Pakistain's secret services under any kind of control.
 
My 'chamak' is my own!
Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif stated that 'chamak' (shine) of PMLN was not given by Zardari but was original and could not be robbed by Zardari. He said he could swear on God that Zardari had made money through fraud and stashed it away in Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
. He said he will not receive the president on his visit to Lahore. Federal Interior minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
warned Shahbaz Sharif that he should hear the warning that the PPP was pitching its tents in Lahore. He added that he wanted to register a case against Sharif brothers but Zardari stopped him.
