Dr. A.Q.Khan’s disclosure on Yom e Takbeer that they were ready to explode the bomb as early as 1984 reminds me of the following which I may be allowed to share with your readers. I, along with Late Maj Muhammad Ali Shah (Retd) – brother in law of late Gen Yahya, had gone to greet Gen Yahya on an Eid day in 1984. Gen was then under detention at 61 Harley Street, Rawalpindi. After a while when w

Though the Govt. is trying its best to meet the power shortfall in the country by exploring even the alternate power sources like solar, wind, coal fired thermal etc. apart from a few hydro electric projects but the experts tell us that the energy crisis would not be resolved up to at least 2018 and could even extend beyond it. The Govt. strategy at present seems entirely focused upon producing mo

Though Altaf Hussain has been residing in London for nearly 22 years now and holds the British nationality as well yet, he must be issued with the Pakistani passport and the NIC to facilitate his return to Karachi. An MQM Senator has threatened to ‘close’ Karachi for a year if the Passport is not issued to the MQM leader immediately. I don’t know what does he mean by closing it. Close it to whom

There seems to be no end to the target killing in Karachi and yet another doctor – Manzur Memon has fallen victim to it today along with his driver. The killers who were on a motorbike made good their escape as usual and probably would never be tracked down like hundreds of other such killers before them. It is a well known phenomena that 99.9 per cent of all such target killings are done by the

My differences with the JI apart, I must admire its present Ameer who happens to be also the Senior Minister (Wazir) of the KPK government - Mr. Siraj ul Haq - as a true Awami Leader. He is using an Air Conditioner neither in his office nor in his official residence. He has resolved not to do so till the ordinary man in the street is ridden of the curse of load shedding. Well done, Sir, and I

The parliament has removed the ban on the YouTube. More than anyone else it must have overjoyed the winners of the recently held bidding for the award of 3G and 4G in the telecommunication sector. The bidders had bid far less for the award on the pretext that they would not be able to muster the clientele in the required numbers due to the ban on the YouTube which was in fact the biggest revenue

April 30th was observed as Yom e Shuhada by the armed forces in an impressive way and befitting tributes were paid to those who laid their life so that the nation may live. Ironically, quite a many of them – more than 5,000 – had been blessed with martyrdom in the last decade or so fighting the extremists and the terrorists. I, as an old soldier, felt proud of the occasion and reassured that the

Every now and then one sees our VIPs and VVIPs haughtily and in great pomp and show performing an opening or inauguration ceremony, laying a foundation stone, unveiling a plaque or switching on gas, power or water supply with their dast e Mubarak in some remote area where the lavish and regal shamianas and canopies, bedecked sofas and chairs, stage, speakers &
