During the last days of PPP government, a voice from Hazara resurfaced demanding a separate Hazara province. It was the voice of the white bearded Haider Zaman Khan who has been struggling for a separate province for many years. The independent media picked it up and spread it like a wild fire. Soon, the media-addicted public started asking for divisions of all the provinces. Two provincial assemb

Describing Pashtuns on April 26, 1903 at Shahi Bagh Peshawar, Lord Curzon said, “Pathan is a curious mixture. He is a man of war but he is also a born trader.” He was talking about Pashtuns’ trading capabilities and comparing them with other races in India. Had he gone in details he would have mentioned that Pashtuns lived their lives on three platforms. First, their culture which is broad based a

Ali Wazir has posted a video clip on social media showing Punjab Police manhandling some persons. He has craftilygiven a twist to the story by projecting the Pashtuns living in Punjab as the victims. I am sure, he must have been handsomely rewarded by RAW or NDS for this villainous act which has raised the tempers of the Pashtun community. Imran Khan added fuel to fire by giving a color to anti-te

In search for security in the face of India’s belligerence and dangerous designs together with Afghanistan’s hostility, Pakistan blundered to join SEATO and CENTO in 1954 and earned the hostility of Afghanistan, former Soviet Union and China. India took these western pacts as an excuse to make a U turn on Kashmir issue. The defense pacts helped Pakistan under Ayub Khan to develop its economy and

One day, during the exile in London, Mr Nawaz Sharif asked me to brief him about Parachinar. I did. After listening to me with keen interest he looked at me and said, “Dr Sahib, I would like to visit Parachinar and see the situation myself when we go back to Pakistan” That was an encouraging remark by my chief. Time passed. On September 10th 2007, I joined him with the group and landed at Islamab

In recent history, we have witnessed two types of 9/11 scenarios. First in 2001, a military style action carried out in America by terrorists that divided global society into Muslims and non-Muslims. The Muslim side was taken over by the harsh and non-tolerant Wahabi/Salafi Islam carried out successively by Alqueda, Taliban and IS The second in 2016 was a political action, again carried out in Am

The US took Pakistan on board as a tactical partner after 9/11 to achieve its short term objectives but had listed it as one of its targets. It married up with Pakistan since it knew that without its intimate support and cooperation, the Afghan venture would become onerous and very expensive. It kept Pakistan on board to net Al-Qaeda operatives that had sneaked into FATA and Baluchistan after the
