At a time, when our foreign office is at dagger-head with the US government, a known Pakistani Qawwal Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was arrested by Indian government on money laundering charges, refusing to give access to Pakistan Embassy officials in India. Is this incidence anything to do with Raymond Davies' case and the Americans want to extend pressure tactic through India? Or is it another independen

Bringing a small group of what are supposed to be the plain-cloth para military force of Mubarak is akin to clinging to the last straw. Earlier his sacking of the Interior Minster followed by removing the cabinet and replacing it with new cabinet headed by the retired military men has brought no fruitful results. The next 72 hours is going to see more deaths on the streets because of his Ostrich

A recent report by an investigative journalist of a known newspaper on how tribal senators bought their way into the Senate is not something new. History reveals that candidates have regularly been violating rules, both in tribal and settled areas, under the very noses of the Election Commission. The difference is that in settled areas, candidates take advantage of loopholes in the law while in th

Nature plays its role in mysterious ways. Who would have thought that self immolation of one man in Tunisia could act like the first falling domino crushing the authoritarian regime of Ben Ali. The second domino to fall would be in Egypt with ouster of Hosni Mubarak's thirty years brutal and corrupt regime. With its fall, the domino effect might spread to the rest of the Muslim World bringing down

Many perceive Pakistan as a poor country. Others do not see it that way. They rate it an 'underdeveloped' or a third world country, but not a poor country. According to them a poor country is a 'least developed' country and Pakistan is not bracketed in those countries. According to some studies 40% of Pakistanis live below poverty line. The figure is quoted at 60% by others. If we compare a

In response to Mr Nawaz Sharif's announcement of Contact Working Committee, PM Gilani has also made a similar committee. From PML-N side the members include; Ishaq Dar, Pervez Rashid, Mehtab Khan Abbasi and Lt.Gen (rtd) Qadir Baluch with no cases pending against them. While PPP made Babar Awan, Naveed Qamar, Hafiz Sheikh, Pervez Ashraf and Raza Rbbani as its members. It is obvious that Mr Yusaf Ra

According to news reports, Asif Ali Zardari was advised to tag 'Bhutto' to the name of Belawal at the time of his birth on September 1988 to give continuity of 'Bhutto' legacy. He out-rightly rejected it saying he wanted his children grow up as Zardaris. BB accepted his stance. She saw a strong man in his personality full of determination typifying Sindhi tribal culture submitting to his will. So

Today, I am writing on another aspect of this troubled region which has been ignored by Islamabad. It pertains to the mineral deposits. According to the 'Mineral Wing' of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation PMDC) Kurram Agency has l
