This is the third time I am writing a tribute for a departed friend. The first time it was the death of an icon – Mr Justice Safdar Shah – when I wrote under the title of ‘Death of Hope’.

But it did rise to the occasion in 2007-2009 when General Musharraf dismissed the Ch Click here to read Full Article

“The U.S. strategy toward Pakistan has been focused on trying to get Islamabad to give serious help to Washington’s campaign against the Afghan Taliban.

(Dams do not consume water; they STORE water for use downstream. It is at the barrages that water is consumed as irrigation canals are taken out. River Indus has such little water below Kotri because of Kotri Barrage, not Tarbela Dam. In fact the province of Sindh has received 33% more water after the construction of Tarbela Dam.
