In Pakistan, the constitution and the law do not determine politics. Political compulsions determine the constitution and the law. Those who link the imposition of emergency and governor’s rule in KPK with democracy are themselves misguided and are also misleading others. In KPK there was Imrani democracy. That is, a personalized system of government centered […]
One official fort was under occupation, from where continuous shelling of the capital continued, and every now and then, with the help of state resources, night raids were launched on the capital. Now only the hope of assistance from a foreign crutch, “Britain,” would remain. As for “Dilli,” that was already ruined by their own […]

Don’t sit idle, do something, Just unpick your clothes and stitch them back again. Keep experimenting. Never stop experimenting. And when the different chemicals start a long march on the laboratory, then keep dealing with them. O Politicians! Did you ever think how much these experiments cost the citizens!
Inside the royal palace, on every jeweled throne, Leprous bodies in robes of light, Diseased minds and turbans twisted high to the skies, Ignorance-filled scholars, The Majhas and the Gamas, Sit holding clenched in their fists, The tumults of our destinies, the oppressed. Honey on their tongues and knives in their pockets — The breed […]
A short exchange of views (End of September-start of October) from a WhatsApp group Dr Khalil: The rulers of Pakistan are indebted, not the citizens of Pakistan!

The travelers of ancient and medieval times journeyed the world and thus compiled the history of the world. But the tourists of Pakistan, by becoming politicians and then rulers, did indeed tour the whole world, yet they destroyed both Pakistan and Pakistan’s history. Why don’t all these politicians and rulers travel the world with their […]
The dilemma is that Pakistani people, for example, want to go to and settle in France. And after settling there, they want to make France into Pakistan. So wouldn’t it be better if they made Pakistan into France. But the fun that lies in ruining someone else’s built home, where is that fun in building […]
All officials of the state and government, including the President and the Prime Minister, who are undertaking foreign tours, should do these tours freely and as much as they like… Do two or three times more foreign tours than each one of you has already done. But know this, that the expenses of all these […]
First a suicide attack happens, people including soldiers die and are injured. Then after that, the Pakistani army targets terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. Why is this wait done? Why are terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan not targeted beforehand? Why doesn’t the government clarify its policy? Why doesn’t it make the army follow this policy?
