Moderation and Pakistan by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz Created On: 4/Jun/2012 Views: 2460 Replies: 0 
It requires larger than a man to admit one's follies. Let's try as a nation to rise to those heights and confess that we did err in "over-Islamising" Pakistan and that too quite unwarrantedly. This has unfortunately given birth to religious polarisation and sectarianism tearing at the very fibre of our national unity. There was no need for it at all. We were Muslims before and would remain Muslims Click here to read Full Article

A news item appearing in this context said that the head of the department concerned would also be held equally responsible for the corruption indulged by any of his subordinates. Though it may sound somewhat unreasonable yet, that's the way to deal with the corruption found so rampant now a days in the office Click here to read Full Article

Last evening at the unscheduled power outage my 9 year old grandson who was preparing for his final exams shouted, “Oh God, what should I do now”?

No Appeal by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

Apparently, the PM has been advised by his legal experts not to take the risk in filing the appeal lest the SC spells out clearly his dismissal and ineligibility to be an MNA in unequivocal and unambiguous terms in deciding the Click here to read Full Article
Apologise Obama by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

Though I didn’t have much love lost for Bilawal but he has certainly earned my respect for his daring Obama to show courage and apologise to Pakistan for their Salala dirty adventure. Being challenged by so young a person must have come as a big rude shock to Barack Hussein Obama but Bilawal has spoken for the millions of Pakistanis. And the sooner the U.S. administration realises this the better Click here to read Full Article

PM Gilani’s conviction and his subsequent obduracy neither to quit nor resign has created an impasse between the govt. and the opposition that has started threatening the very survival of democracy in the country. The open threats of simultaneous long march and counter march to Islamabad and Raiwind by the senior leaders on both sides not only smack of dire hostility but is tantamount to invitin Click here to read Full Article
