Whether its electoral rigging by the army, or Shia-Sunni sectarian voting or love for Bhuttoism, PPP winning in GB is pathetic in either case. In the age of internet, this party should not exist anywhere outside its rural Sindh ethnic support base
mohsin naqvi’s "shanghai-like" islamabad/pakistan is anti-poor and runs on racial profiling. it has zero room left for civil or political freedoms. makes sense for someone who never came up through a public mandate + was installed without an electoral base.

The talks did not succeed but have exposed how poor our media reporting was. Like most Pakistanis I was following CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera to get in depth information & analysis how the talks were going on.

Some of it was justified but going on & on ?
