  1. Bhai,


    Can you seek to find out what the public thinks about how much gov't wasted for the past few days in this "judiciary crisis". PM Gillani and CJ Iftikhar Chaudhary could have spent their time better dealing with something else. PM went to Mr. Ramday's farewell, i am sure it was at the cost to taxpayers. Think about the protocol that both CJ and PM carry with them. This time could have been spent doing something much much much better and not to mention all the resources that could have been shared. I would also like to know this – Do these 'political actors' charge the taxpayers when they come on to these stupid talk shows to duke it out (do they have nothing better to do?)… I wonder how much resources are wasted in dealing with trivial BUKWAS!!!


    Bhai I look forward to hearing from you regarding these question. I have mailed some politicians with the same questions and i have not received an answer.


    Also i want to know about the Baldiyati Election… Why doesnt the Sindh Govt allow the municipalities into setting up their own city urban police while also having a provincial police that maintains the law an order in Rural area. So Urban centers should have their own police and the Provincial police only intervenes when there are emergency situation. I think one should get a solid commitment from these parties (another thing to be added to their mandate). 


    Thanks

    Who says that Pakistan is a boring place ? This, mind you, is the most happening place on this planet. Movies are played put 24/7/365. We have movies like Sleeping with the Enemy  playing out for the past two years. We romantic scenes playing out and when we get bored, songs are played. When that wears us out, actions scenes unfold. And once in a while, to up the ante, a blast scene is unfortunately played out. And often, we have a live circus played on the national scene that brightens our weekends up. Like this circus that these bloody clowns played out over the past weekend, and then like the “baigharats” that they are, they withdrew. Why did you shameless creatures play with our emotions ? Do you think we are disposable humans that you can use and abuse ? Is that how you entertain your people ? Is that what you were elected for ? When will you realize that we need your sincere guidance as opposed to your political tantrums. You have the audacity to take us to the edge and then play the drop scene out.
     
    My dear countrymen, these are the people that YOU elected to rule you. At times I feel like blaming you than these 1,000 odd shameless people. And the tragedy is that given a chance, you will elect them again. My conviction is that we have infinite potential as a body of 170 million resourceful and enterprising men and woman – what we have to do is realize this.
     
    SuhanAllah, Almighty Allah, what trials are you putting us through ?
     
    My apologies for this barrage of pleasantries, but I had been holding back for four days now. At the cost of offending sensibilities, I wonder why the Superior socialized with the Executive today. To my pea-brain, this isn’t exactly kosher. And then the question arises, how will the Supreme Court view these events over the past weekend when the full bench takes up the case on the 18th ?
     
    And guess what ? What hurts me the most is when even a dog dies, the press and everyone is up in arms that this is the end of Pakistan, that democracy is under threat, that Pakistan has gone to the dogs, that we are a failed state etc etc. Let me make one thing abundantly clear – NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN TO PAKISTAN. NO MATTER WHAT THESE RULERS DO, THEY CAN DO JACK TO THIS COUNTRY. THEY ARE SO THOROUGHLY INCAPABLE THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN DO A DECENT JOB OF HARMING THIS COUNTRY. That is my conviction and in my heart I am sure that Allah SWT will guard us and look over Pakistan as He has been doing for 63 years now.
     
    God Bless Pakistan

    This may not exactly be a discourse since the topic for today is small and insignificant in size but has really took me down. Why are we as a Nation so allergic to anything Pakistani ?
     
    1.       We’d rather speak to the new born in angrezi since Urdu is somewhat of an inferior language.
    2.       We’d rather send our kids to English schools not for the sake of the education imparted there (though it is a far cry better), but for the simple reason that the “foundation” of the kids becomes  that much more solid.
    3.       We’d rather pay through our noses for a Pierre Balmain suit, a YSL shirt, a Zegna tie, Gucci loafers and look like idiots in a country where the electricity supply is as reliable as a fledgling democratic government, instead of wearing a Gul Ahmed Latha shalwar kamiz.
    4.       We’d rather have a foreign assembled car (BMW for starters) than a Toyota Corolla made by Indus Motor.
    5.       We’d rather converse in angrezi at the risk of paralysis of the jaw and make an ass out of ourselves than express ourselves effectively in Urdu. Happy Birthday – Same to you.
    6.       We’d rather pay 40 pounds in London to buy a t-shirt made in Pakistan costing hardly Rupees 50 here, but carrying the Polo logo there.
     
    And this goes on and on. The list is endless.
     
    Why ? What is wrong with made in Pakistan ? I guess nothing other than the insecurity we derive from being one and being associated with anyone and anything that carries the Pakistani and made in Pakistan label.
     
    The Palestinian President is in Pakistan today. He was feted by our Prime Minister this evening. Mr Gilani addressed the gathering in angrezi and made an ass of himself by stretching the pronunciation of a few words and trying to sound American – probably the after-effects of Mr Holbrooke visiting Islamabad too often. And God, did he sound awful and disgusting. Mr Abbas representing Palestine, a state under siege with nothing to be proud of, ravaged by years and years of civil war, and no infrastructure to talk of, addressed the gathering in Arabic with an interpreter in tow. The question: why can he do that and why can Mr GIlani not address in Urdu ? If the level of pride is zero at that level in being Pakistani, then it won’t take an Einstein to figure that one out.
     
    Dear leaders, please create the right examples for the nation to follow. We have elected you as our leaders but please don’t make us repent this. Urdu is our national language and we must be proud of it. Yes – English is an international medium of expression to be used only if we feel comfortable in doing so and not constipated while doing so. Regardless, at state banquets, URDU has to be the language no matter what. There should be no compromise to that. Our pride as a nation is at a stake and cannot be wished away.

    MY KIND OF PAKISTANIS….
    Salam Pakistani Awaam!
    Okay so like, ab ap sab mujhay kutnay walay tow nahiin ho na? :S
    I mean i am kinda outside Pakistan, but OH DEAR LORD. i have NOT ran away from Pakistan. 'Rents' brought me to Aus for better education, which yes, mashallah i am obtaining. But people, believe me i have not ran away from Pakistan and it is not like i sit here and chill and laugh at you guys for not having electricity and as good facilities as me.
    No yah, i feel sorry for youse, but more than just saying sorry i DO care about every issue regarding Pakistan. But what i want to point out is that Allah never said there is only 'one' way of helping people. And you do agree with me right? So yes, i do things for Pakistan, not like how you guys do it, but individually i do things that are under my control e,g discussing matters, drawing conclusions, speaking up in my society, AND my favourite one: i speak my problems through cross-cultural communication.
    Youse havn't tried that, have ya? XD
    To me, it is the best way to figure problems. Man, you won't believe how many of my chinese and fair friends are concerned about Pakistan and talk about it daily!
    So, please i have a little request to Faisal Uncle, i fathom you that one must not ran away when faced with a problem. But hey, our parents took us here. And i am sorry to say but i don't think it is fair to say that we should leave the country that provided us with better facilities and leave those people who hug us every day and accept our skin colour, and respect our religion. And today, i want to mention strongly that like our parents you are not udnerstanding the DIVISION BETWEEN TWO CULTURES, and i sincerely have to say that i have responsibilities to both Australia AND Pakistan. Both have a lot to offer, and i respect and love both countries. The evidence i can provide you is of Usman Khawaja, the first Muslim player to play in Australian Cricket. He is a migrant Pakistani AND an Australian Citizen.
    Unfortunately, my Pakistan have not yet recognised our contribution. Unlike India and Afghanistan, who gave award of 'Promising Child' to Sandeep Arnuthayaraj for getting the perfect ENTER of 99.95 and an honourable interview to Shaheen Hasmat for getting an ENTER of 99. 8 (he couldn't speak a single word in English when he came to Australia). Both above kids are now studying medicine, and ther countries are proud of them.
    And all i get is put downs from my society for wearing a headscarf because apparently, it is not 'trendy' and 'not-in-fashion', and hence, i am a backward Pakistani, if i am one. 
    Do share your opinions because i am sure not all of  youse think the same, and i am willing to and am tolerant of different opinions.

    Asalam O Alaikom Mr. Qureshi,
     
    I am Ali Raza Khan, from Canada. I don't have access to your channel but do watch your programs on Pakistan Heral after they upload 'em. I would like to congratulate you for not having these selfish politicians who come on the programs and claim that they are expressing public views. Thanks alot for letting general people to express views and opinions.
    I want to call on your program and talk but unfortunately as I said I don't know what time your program starts and what days. Well I would like to start with one question, who are we? a muslim or shiite/sunni? Pakistani or a nation distributed in different areas. Why can't we say we are muslims not shia or sunni? why cant we say proudly we are a one nation, Pakistani. It's out fault not others. We all are accountable for this situation in Pakistan, we all have to look inside ourselves and ask what are we doing? I really liked your comment about shops were closed till 11-12 pm and opened late night.
    I left Pakistan in 2004 and will be coming back forever end of this 2010. People asked me what did I find out about people here. I replied without any hesitation, if they stop eating pork and stop claiming Jesus, Allah's son ( Nauzobillah) they are better than us. why? because they are following Quran and teachings of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) that we have forgotten a long time ago.
    It's our duty to make efforts and awake the entire Pakistan to save our beloved country.  I live in Canada but still live with my country. Please join our hands together and leave all the politics and sects and be united to be on one strong nation.
    Best Regards.

      Hi Faisal Bhai,
       
      I have a answer of a important question u had asked on ur show
      the question is why we dont do anything agisnst this cruel society????
      ANSWER
      we r born and bought up to live like this
      when a child born we face all  kind of restriction in our daily life
      we r cought up in a small and tight circle and everyone tell us that we cant cross that circle
      in other words we dont get the freedom to say anything .
      at every point fatwa r waiting for us
      everyone tell us we cant say this thing . we cant do that thing. we dont have a right to oppose our elders even we think they might be wrong
      we grow up like lhis and then these things become the part of our nature
      when we realy understand the real world we were cought in many social and family problems . at that time we dont find any time to say anything about this cruel behaviour of our society
      the second reason is we r actually facing slavery from centuries and now it is in our jeans
      we got that from our parents and they got that from there parents and so on…
      these things dont give our mind the space to grow up so we r like this and unfortunately we r going to remain like this
      i dont see any revolution and i dont think u hope it too
      if ur kind of good people will keep donig work like this then maybe after 100 or 200 year this revolution will come and dont expect that before that
      infact there is no hope for our beloved country and for poor people
      if u want to contact me then my number is 0333-4344798
      i live in lahore
      i hope u will understand what i am trying to say

    Part IV
     
     
    A friend commented that the preceding three parts though honest and simple in content, though fluent and thought provoking, though true and reflective of everyone’s sentiments, was laced with cynicism and the comments were somehow tilted against Pakistan. The one thing that any Pakistani – me most of all – can never do is say anything against Pakistan, its existence, its land and anything to do with this country of ours. My comments rightly labeled as cynical, are/were directed at the Pakistani rulers and the population of Pakistan – never at Pakistan.
     
    Another way of looking at our predicament is that the rulers over the years have whored off this country to anyone who could satisfy their lust. After much thought, whoring was the appropriate word that came to mind that would best describe what actually is going on. Take any government, and try this concept. The whoring maybe financial, material, power-wise etc. And the population’s reaction ? Here that English saying comes into relevance “when rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it”. And that is exactly what we are doing – precious nothing. It is tragic – indeed very tragic. Since this has been going on for years and years, it will take that many years to cure and then a lot many more to restore our honour and dignity. But the ball has to be rolled today for that to happen. And it isn’t difficult at all – a soft revolution is what is needed.
     
    Two bits of news hit me the other day. Both were tragic and ironic at the same time and simply were reflective of our being whored off. First, a poor PPP worker attempted self immolation in Lahore at a PPP public gathering. He dowsed himself in an inflammable liquid and then tried to set himself on fire. A father of five and a low-grade employee of the Punjab Government, he hadn’t been paid his salary for ten months. The likes of you and me upon whom Allah bounties are plentiful may not be able to appreciate what that poor brother must be going through. Anyway, the PPP workers prevented him from lighting himself up and took his kameez off. His mother – frail old woman – was beating her chest as if the world had come to an end – for her, it was probably on the edge of happening so. The callousness of a senior PPP leader (the Secretary General in fact) had nothing more to say than launch a tirade against the Punjab Government and berate them for the event or the causes leading upto this event. He may have forgotten that his own Party’s minister headed the department where that employee hadn’t been paid his salary for the last ten months. What was more important – scoring politically or doing something for that poor man ? I am sure something must have been done for that worker, but is it necessary for political mileage to be milked out of any opportunity ?
     
    Then the Governor showed magnanimity and visited the residence of the late Colonel Ikram. Very graceful of him especially when no other senior government functionary had done so after that disgusting visit made by the Chief Secretary where he tried to influence the family into not pressing charges against him. Asides of the fact that the Governor’s visit came a week after the event, he too launched a tirade against the Punjab Government outside the Colonel’s residence when he talked to the media, And the media – the ever present vultures – were quick to relay this live on their national hook-ups. Imagine no action so far but political mileage was quickly derived. It would have been appropriate had the Governor done something material to alleviate the sufferings of the heirs and then kept quiet. Action speaks louder than words. But alas, what else should we expect !!! I wonder still why the Chief Minister has not done anything so far. Maybe the Chief Secretary could prove far more valuable than a dead Colonel’s heirs. For one, he has lost my vote. And then the political leadership complain of a brain drain in this country. The late Colonel’s son appears to be a smart and intelligent young boy. I am ready to place a wager that the day he gets the opportunity, he will leave too. And would you blame him ? To save the skin of one of their own, the Punjab Government has upheld the lofty traditions of our criminal justice system – ooops ! Here goes the cynicism again !!! Something that was his basic and fundamental right as enshrined in the Constitution of this the Islamic Republic, has been denied to him. And the Honourable Supreme Court has so far not taken suo moto notice. And just a few kilometers away in Dubai, an Emirati Citizen was sentenced to death for the murder of a Pakistani 4 year old that took place not more than two months ago.
     
    We may have strived for an independent state on religious grounds so that we could practice and profess our religion and customs in the manner as has been prescribed and laid down in the Holy Koran but unfortunately have lost the way somewhere during the past 63 years. Islamic Jurisprudence is equitable and based on the tenet that all are equal before the eyes of the law – something that we in Pakistan also profess but then draw the line there – but somehow that equality got muddled up. George Orwell in Animal Farm aptly writes “ All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”. I wonder if he had a foreboding of what Pakistan would evolve into.
     
    I at times am forced to ponder over our predicament but then there is no clear and easy answer. Whatever answer I come up with, is so convoluted and confused that I wish I was asleep. But then we the 170 million Awaam of this Great Pakistan of ours must do something to erase from memory such disgraceful labels as a failed state, morally bankrupt nation, hotbed of terrorism and what not. Where do we start is the key question, and believe me, there is no easy answer. In our own little ways we will have to start chipping in and convert today into a watershed. We will have to start thinking and also working on our national defeatist psyche to revitalize ourselves. The potential we have is amazing – all we need is to channelize it into something more positive. We must not lose hope – some of us already have though, we must woo them back. When BB was assassinated some two years ago, phrases like “this is the end” ( that was censored by the way since the original phrase was too graphic) were coined. I had and still have the utmost of respect for BB – she was after all the leader of more than half of our nation and the face of it too. Other attributes aside, she had twice been our democratically elected leader. There were other ways to eliminate here politically – but to kill her was incomprehensible. Such occurrences must never happen again. Each life is valuable. Imagine the potential of 170 million people versus 1 less than that. My purpose in penning my thoughts is twofold – one is I get the forum to let go of what I feel, and my words are my words and no one other than myself has any control over my mind and my words. I will jealously guard what is mine. And secondly, I sincerely wish that my words alongwith the words and thoughts of other such like-minded people would galvanise the 170 million brethren of mine into thinking likewise. I seriously do not want any action from anyone. I just want people to think. Once that happens, two things will naturally follow. One: actions will materialize automatically and these actions will be selfless and for Pakistan only. Secondly: the brain drain from Pakistan will stop and then go into reverse mode. Why do Pakistani migrate abroad ? Simply, for the quality of life, and quality of life also entails the way the state treats you – with honour and dignity.
     
    I for one will not give up hope. I have always held this country dear and near – my scorn is not for its leadership both past and present though they must take their fair share of the blame too – it is for the 170 million Awaam who are lying back and enjoy being raped. They can claim helplessness all they want to but even they know that they must do something if they want to control their destiny. It isn’t too late though much damage has been done. We can still recover. Examples are abound where nations have woken up from ashes are now honourable members of the Comity of Nations.
     
    We are a poor Nation but where does it say that we cannot hold our heads high and be proud of being a Pakistani. Where does it say that we have to capitulate at the first sign of rain ? Where does it say that we have to pawn off our honour and mortgage our self respect to move forward ? Where does it say that 170 million Pakistanis cannot stand up and be counted ? All that is needed is Unity amongst our ranks and the realization of the fact that Pakistan comes first – all else follows. Pakistan right now is a Nation of I’s as opposed to WE’s. Imagine the power of WE as opposed to the Power of I and there lies the key.

  7. sajanhmalik says:

    Part III
     
     
    In Part II, I tried and touch upon the problems that have beset Pakistan as a Nation. In Part III, the focus will be on problems that are afflicting the Pakistanis. And since there are two “kind” of Pakistanis, naturally there will be two kinds of problems that will be dealt with in this part.
     
    There are two kinds of Pakistanis – first, the so-called ruling class (by so-called, I mean that the REAL ruling class should be the general populace from where power is derived. We 170 million odd Pakistanis are technically the power base of this Country but since everything is so constipated, the power though derived from these 170 million, is exercised by a few hundred – maybe a few thousand at the top) and secondly the poor “Awaam” of this the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The problems of the ruling class are
     
    1.      Restoration of the Supreme Court Judiciary.
    2.      Ouster of General Musharraf.
    3.      National Reconciliation Ordinance, and its repeal.
    4.      The trial or otherwise of General Musharraf
    5.      The repeal of the 17th Amendment.
    6.      Lining of pockets and the devising of new ways of doing that.
    7.      Perks and Privileges
     
    The irony of facts is that neither of these so-called problems has remotely anything to do with the Awaam, its welfare or its interest. The credit for hyping these issues goes unfortunately to our Media who have kept these alive and kicking for the simple reason of keeping their viewership alive. Whereas the Media should be solely focusing on issues of public interest, they instead keep their cameras focused on these issues. Nowadays, there comes a three to four slot in the evening where all channels have nothing on other than talk shows where the guests are the same set of faces with the same issues, the same statements and the same disgusting conduct only becoming of a Pakistani politician. They shout at each other and behave as if they are common thugs, which maybe what they really are. In one programme featuring two female politicians, I actually got to know what the Red Light Area of Lahore is called when one accused the other of being from there or something in that vein. Anyway, the Awaam has no choice but to watch these programmes since they provide an entertainment parallel to a European circus with all forms and sorts of animals and performers in a ring. And tragically, and this is where instead of pitying the Awaam, I would actually blame for the state this country is in, the Awaam time and again returns these same faces to the Parliament. Whether they graduates or not is immaterial – the fabric is and will always remain the same. So the next time any \one form the Awaam blames a politician, do be clear please who really is to blame.
     
    Back to the problems above. The first three have been achieved. With regards to the fourth, strangely everyone has gone quiet. It is now only once in a while that a whimper is actually heard from some corner – other than that it appears to be a dead issue. Conspiracy theories are abound in this regard but the general belief is that people on both sides of the political divide have been told to back off.Nowadays, the fifth is the talk. Instead of focusing on the gruesome deaths of Colonel Ikram and Shazia, the Government is involved in the repeal of the 17th amendment and the Media is in bed with them. After paying two days of lip service to the two murders, all we know get are tickers running at the bottom of our television screens giving us cursory updates. What a tragedy !!!
     
    Numbers 6 and 7 are there for all to see. The only addition is the novel ways which are being engineered to service these ends. I am amazed at the mental prowess of this ruling class in their ingenuities. The Opposition however zero on ingenuities. I wonder if they ever think. Anyway, I won’t even call them the Opposition since they are practically in bed with the Government – so I will have to think of an appropriate term there. Anyway, the issue here is that none of these seven issues has anything remotely to do with the General Public i.e. the Awaam – not even remotely. And the beauty of it all is that the airwaves are 90 % of the time if not more, taken up by these 7 issues. And now that the Government’s     2 ½ years are over, they are preparing grounds for their own ouster so that their bed fellows can make capital too. Though they have another 2 ½ years to go, they will not stay. Somehow the cycle is such in Pakistan that the first 2 ½ years are for making money and the next 2 ½ years is for being held accountable. That no one wants so they will stick only to the first 2 ½ years. Unfortunately, much to their chagrin, PML-Q realized this once they completed their much trumpeted five years in power –probably the second ever in this country.
     
    The problems that the Awaam is faced with – rather burdened with since the neglect to address these are assuming alarming proportion – are the very basics:
     
    a.       Provision of Electricity, and if that is done, then uninterrupted, and if that too is managed, then cheap electricity.
    b.      Cheaper Sugar
    c.       Cheaper Flour (Ata)
    d.      Law and Order
    e.       Health
    f.       Education
     
    and all these and many others, are called FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS enshrined in our Constitution guaranteed by the State – and assured to be abused by State unfortunately – for which the Honourable Supreme Court has original jurisdiction but then it is not their domain to run the country for us and micro-manage its affairs. The funny part is whenever the ruling class ever pays any attention to the resolution of these matters, believe me they have their own angles and those angles have nothing to do with the Awaam. Rental Power Projects: the astronomical cost could easily have given us our own brand new generating plants, but somebody’s pockets must have been lined. My condolences now to them since the Asian Development Bank has scrapped a few projects thus denting their sentiments. The reality here is that with reference to the existing generating capacity, there is surplus rated generating capacity in the Country. Owing to the line losses and power theft and non payment of bills, the circular debt is swelling and swelling. This is preventing the IPPs from utilizing their capacities to the fullest. Hence the so-called shortage. How may I ask will these new projects and the rental projects will be paid their dues ? If there is a way of doing it, why not pay that amount to the existing projects and get them to alleviate our sufferings ? Answer – that will not line anyone’s pocket. And the Honourable Minister for Bijli had PROMISED that load shedding will end by December 2009. He too has gone silent on that assurance. Expecting him to resign with some measure of self-respect would be too naïve. To my living memory only two people have ever resigned on principles. First was a Governor of the NWFP. His son was arrested in New York apparently on drug related charges, and he resigned of his own accord. Then a former Speaker of the National Assembly when he was an MNA resigned because he lost  a local government election and claimed loss of moral grounds to continue as an MNA.
     
    Same with sugar. In under one year, the hoarding of sugar had assumed such an alarming  that the prices went from under Rs 30/= per kg to Rs 75/=+ with zero availability. Take it from me that availability was there and there was no real shortage. Both sides of the political divide own the bulk of the sugar mills, so I leave it to your imagination as to who benefitted and how and by how much. Law and Order, Health, Education – same fate. Whenever any money is spent on these sectors, the first appropriation goes to increasing someone’s net worth, and then the interest is actually lost.
     
    I can actually go on and on, but the fact is that the Awaam is solely to blame. Having said that, the solution is also not a bloody revolution though I have said that my gut feel is that conditions are being made ripe for one. It has historically been proven that revolutions are an overnight kind of a solution. In the longer term, you are creating a monster and a dictator. Just check the history books please.
     
    What is needed is for the Awaam to change the way they think. Nothing is to be written off. Just change the way you think –from a defeatist to a realist to an optimist, and then actions will automatically follow. This will not be easy and will not come quick. It will take a couple of generations to achieve but will be worth it. We are not helpless – we are simply lethargic enough to think and have given in to fate. We the 170 million Awaam are the POWER who are Pakistan – those few thousand odd just are the ugly face that this country has come to represent. As FQ rightly says, a soft revolution is what we need.

    Aoa Faisal,
    This is Hammad I called at Bangedara on 25 Jan.  I wish I could have more time to express myself. 
    I think there is a lot of hope.  This country has a lot of potential.  Need of time is to recognize ourselves and take responsibility to solve our problems.  We have tested everyone but ourselves.  No savior is going to come, we have wasted 60yrs and can waste another 160 yrs.  Lets ask ourselves how safe would our children be in this society when we will not be around? Doesn’t his picture make us worried? Are we going to do anything about it or just wait for Allah to come on earth and do everything for us?
    Allah made us its Khalifa with such a great strengths.  Alas, what a waste of the abilities given. 
    This is about time that we revive IQBAL and grow to his vision. 
    Best,
    Hammad

      Bangedara on the 28th, was a miserable viewing. FQs opening was good as ever – pointed and pertinent. The moment Ikhtiar Baig came on, I knew I was going to switch the TV off. His opening remark that the PPPP did not come in to power through the back door was a joke. PPPP as a matter of fact came into power because of the NRO. I say that because the 170 million of our population have neither counted for anything nor have they ever tried to be counted for something. And then, if the NRO wasnt a backdoor entry, I just wonder what is/was ?

        I agree with Sajan.  I switched off my TV as soon as I saw "more loyal than the king" supporters of the so called Democracy.  I have heard their boring track many times.  They may not be tired of telling  lies but I am tired of listening of it.
        The problem is these people dont look at a problem objectively, they rather get defensive and undertake the “Best Endeavor” to take the opportunity to number score to make their Bosses (I cant call them Leader as I know the definition) happy.

  11. Hi,
    I am here at Faisal Qureshi Wall after a long time and only Cyma is the one from the P.A.M. members are here. Where are other persons?

    If I had no hope I would be living in some other country.  I have hope and faith in my own capabilities and myself.  The day I know I'm a failure I'll go latch myself on to other people's success

    I cry and pray for my country every night and morning. Allah may keep her safe. Brother i also want to tell you that hopeless-ness is a sin. I love your show and watch it regularly because I know you have a passionate heart for my loving land.
    I have hope from free media, judiciary and frustration of people from corruption.
    Thanks, and please be hopeful, pray for Pakistan.
    Long live Pakistan, Allah help Pakistan
