محمد حسن عسکری اور روایت کا نزاع

افلاطون عزیز ہے، صداقت عزیز تر۔ ارسطو ابتدائیہ: اس مضمون پر کام جب میں کلر سیداں میں تھا تو وہاں شروع کیا تھا۔ یہ دسمبر 1990 کی بات ہے۔ اور وہیں اس کے مختلف حصوں کی ایک ترتیب اپریل 1991 میں تیار بھی کی تھی، جس کے مطابق اسے مکمل کرنا تھا۔ اس کے بعد ایک بہت بڑے عرصے تک زندگی کے بکھیڑے اور الجھاؤ سلجھاؤ اور لکھنے لکھانے کی دوسری مصروفیات آڑے آتی رہیں۔ کبھی کبھی دھیان اس طرف گیا بھی، مگر اس پر متوجہ نہیں ہو سکا۔ ابھی جب 2025 اکتوبر میں پرائم انسٹیٹوٹ اسلام آباد کی طرف

The way out of the international migration crisis

Among other things, the most crucial factor is the uneven development of human populations on planet Earth, caused by the ruling Ashrafiya in their respective countries. This factor seeks to dissolve the political world order, which is neither possible nor advisable. Migration is not a solution. Nor is destroying the developed world. Emulating the developed world is the only way out and a win-win solution. This means especially low taxes and a greater role for societies than for their states. The main cause of the continued existence of an unevenly developed world is the support extended by the developed world

The Death of Dialogue and Debate!

Some claim to be the embodiment of all wisdom, others the final word. With whom, and how, is one to have a conversation? Both these attitudes are the legacy of the Right and the Left. A major reason for this is also that dialogue and debate have died their own death.

Politicians Are Criminals Against the Constitution and the Citizens!

The authority that citizens confer upon their elected representatives cannot be delegated by those representatives to anyone else. Not even in the case of a ‘reset’ or the creation of new provinces. If it is done, then the representatives stand guilty of betraying both the Constitution and the citizens.

The Peoples Party and its Populist-Fascist Politics

The People’s Party is aboard the very boat from which it is enjoying the benefits of government, while simultaneously drilling holes in it. When the boat sinks, they will say: ‘We had already said that this boat could not reach the shore.’ This is the true democratic standing of these political parties!

Mohsin Naqvi: an offshoot of the collapsed system

The system in Pakistan has collapsed many times. It is the power-starved politicians who always offer their services to arrest this collapse. The greatest collapse of the system occurred the day the Establishment, with the complicity of politicians, launched “Project Imran Khan.” During that puppet show of an Imran Khan-led government, nothing remained intact. Everything collapsed. The PML-N and the PPP once again seized the opportunity. Mohsin Naqvi’s career is an offshoot of that very collapse. So it is this collapse that is now being unveiled bit by bit. It is the same collapse that is dragging down with it

What is happening in Azad Jammu & Kashmir?

What is happening in Azad Jammu & Kashmir? The print media, electronic media, social media, private media, state media… nothing remains credible anymore. Everyone has stirred up so much dust that even the trace of truth has been lost.

Shehbaz Sharif: Remove Mohsin Naqvi

The incumbent Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, must expel Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi from the Cabinet, remove him from his ministerial portfolio, and have his Senate seat revoked for unleashing a tirade against the PML-N and PPP-P coalition government. He is a Trojan Horse. He is biting the very hands — PML-N and PPP-P — that elevated him to Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, and later made him Federal Interior Minister and a Senator in the upper house.

Where did Mohsin Naqvi get this authority from!

Who is Mohsin Naqvi? Who made him the caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab? Who made him the Federal Interior Minister? Who made him a Senator? Was he not part of the government when he lectured politicians? Who is he to give such lectures? Insensitive and unscrupulous politicians should think, introspect, and ask Mohsin Naqvi where he got this authority from?

The dominance of social politics over national politics

The focal point of Pakistan’s social politics is envy, and it is this social politics that largely determines the country’s politics. The day this dynamic changes, the situation will automatically start to transform.

Needed: a Build, not a Destroy movement

People are waiting for a movement like those in other countries to take place in Pakistan. But we don’t need a movement that devastates and destroys things. Several such political movements and parties have already spread chaos and discord in the country. Pakistan needs a movement that builds, constructs, and unites people.

The Pakistani press: for citizens or for the government?

The front pages of newspapers are almost entirely filled with government advertisements. Even if there are no government advertisements, 99 percent of the news is about the government. For Pakistan’s press and media, the society here does not exist.

Acid-throwing: match the crime

Men throw acid on women, and women throw acid on men. The solution lies in meting out the same treatment to the perpetrators: whoever throws acid on another person should be subjected to the same act. A non-humanitarian act warrants a similarly non-humanitarian punishment.

Cockroach Janta Party, Be discreet!

In India, the Cockroach Janta Party must accept PM Narendra Modi’s invitation for negotiations, without calling off their protests. No one knows the travails that the next moment may hold. The CJP’s leadership must act wisely, not like power-drunk politicos.

East Pakistan or Real Pakistan?

Could East Pakistan have kept the name Pakistan instead of Bangladesh? It had a larger population and more seats in the National Assembly.

Two elections, two conflicting outcomes

Pakistan itself came into existence as a result of the 1945-46 elections. At that time, the administrators and power-brokers were the British. Bangladesh also came into existence as a result of the 1970 elections. But at that time, the administrators and power-brokers were the Pakistan Army and Pakistani politicians. The difference is obvious!

The real culprits are the politicians

Will Maulana Fazlur Rehman ask the political parties, and his own party, why they coalesce with the military? The real responsibility lies with the politicians, who involve the military in political games and share power with them.

Pakistan is changing…

Previously, politicians used to patronize thugs. Now, thugs are patronizing politicians. Or politicians themselves have become thugs. Pakistan is changing! Or has it changed?

مولانا فضل الرحمان نے کیا غلط کہہ دیا؟

سپاہی کبھی “جہاد” کے نام پر مارے جاتے ہیں اور کبھی “جہاد ” کرنے والوں کے خلاف “جہاد” کے نام پر ۔ تو مولانا فضل الرحمان نے کیا غلط کہہ دیا؟ لڑنے والوں سے پوچھ لیں کونسا ’’جہاد‘‘ کرنا چاہتے ہیں وہ؟

Capital’s whereabouts

Capital isn’t nationalist. Profit is its beloved. That makes it unique — it brings prosperity wherever the profit margin is tantalising. That’s its logic. All else depends on the views and beliefs of people in the market, be they producers, traders, or consumers.

Private newspapers or government organs?

I read newspapers daily without fail — one in Urdu, three in English. On days when an entire page of any newspaper is filled with government advertisements, I feel an inexplicable sense of relief, thinking, “Today, I’m spared from so much news.” If the government were to start publishing ads on every page of every newspaper, the country would achieve peace. Shahbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz Sharif should immediately order the implementation of this proposal.
