Release Dr. Aafia Siddiqui



Kidnapped British boy Sahil Saeed Naqash Reunites With Parents

Sahil Saeed

Sahil Saeed Naqash, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was on holiday with his family in the Punjab region of Pakistan when he was kidnapped and held captive for 12 days. The kidnappers had told Sahil’s father, Raja Naqqash Saeed, to travel first to Manchester then to Paris to hand over the ransom money of £110,000 which was paid to secure the release of five year old Sahil Saeed. Kidnapping in Pakistan and ransom payment in Paris, am I reading a suspense novel?

Where democracy kills!!

Undoubtedly the Red Shirt, one of the strongest progressive bonding in Thailand created history yesterday by reminding their so called democratic executives their task in a unique way….. they assembled themselves outside the PM house, ,nearly 30,000 in number and flooded the gates of the building with blood… just to remind them that when people’s representative become arrogant, ignorant and un accountable… they are no different than the fictional “Lord Dracula” of Romania !!!

Back in his era he was only sucking the blood out of his adverseries vein, but when people’s representative assume this role their massacre also involve future of masses, their expectations and their well being!!!

Shahbaz Sharif should ask Indian Sikh soldiers to spare Punjab!

Shahbaz Sharif and Punjabi Taliban

Shahbaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab, recently created quite a stir when he asked the Punjabi Taliban to spare Punjab. The whole country was stunned, as this was equivalent to asking the terrorists to continue their nefarious activities in other parts of the country. But being the Chief Minister of Pakistan’s most populous province, naturally he has the interests of Punjab at heart.

So I won’t be surprised if, during the next war between India and Pakistan, he asks Indian Sikh soldiers and pilots to spare Punjab. After all, Sikhs once ruled over the Punjab and many of their holy places are situated there. As the old Sikhs still say, “He who has not seen Lahore has never lived!”

Sans consumer Protection law on Consumer Rights Day

consumer protectionMarch 15 marks The ‘World Consumer Rights Day’. The occasion needs to be utilized to encourage awareness among the people regarding the consumers’ right. This year, the theme of the World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD) 2010 is ‘Our money, our rights’ and highlights consumer issues in relation to financial services. Access to stable, secure and fair financial services is important for consumers everywhere, especially under the strain of the global financial crisis.

This day has a historic importance as it was on this day in 1962, when the Bill for Consumer Rights was moved in the US Congress. During his speech President John F. Kennedy had remarked:

Shahnawaz Bhutto was not murdered by General Zia

Shahnawaz BhuttoShahnawaz Bhutto, the youngest of four children of Z. A. Bhutto died under mysterious circumstances in 1985 (at the age of 27). At that time the PPP immediately accused General Zia of killing Shahnawaz. Now, however, Jamsheed Marker who was a very close friend of the Bhutto family has related the actual details of Shanawaz Bhutto’s death.

The Oghi Massacre!!

world visiion office in oghi pakistan attacked

So sad and above it alarming, it seems that the wave of terror after subsiding has made a comeback,and like in the past its deadly as well as tragic.

The attack on the office of World Vision near Mansehra is highly condemnable,,where according to reports a gang of terrorists (around 15) stormed into the office,making the entire staff hostage. This was followed by a gun fight with the police but as a result 5 employees of WV including two women lost their life. Once again in a very short span the terrorists have shown that they are not only present,but with ease they can unleash the wave of terror.

Bomb blast in Lahore

Another suicide bomb blast in Lahore and you can’t help wondering why the government is paralyzed. Why can’t it do something to catch the bombers before they strike? Perhaps if they stop filling the police department with incompetent people who have been recommended by National/Provincial Assembly members or those who’re close to Zardari, it would be possible to reduce the number of such incidents.

As long as the VVIPs keep using the police as their own servants, the law and order situation will continue to deteriorate. Why doesn’t the ruling party realize that it is supposed to serve the people, not to exploit them? Or do they think the people are simpletons who will continue to vote for them, no matter how much they loot the country?

Nokia Mobile Phone snatching in pakistan

If you are a proud owner of any Nokia cell phone then it might bother you that most of the cell phones snatched last year ( almost 75%) were of the same brand. So keep a close eye on your dear one.

CPLC Citizens Police Liaison Committee has issued the report on Cell Phones thefts/snatching in Pakistan from February 2009 to January 2010. Overall the shocking figure was 81,945 out of which 36,377 have been reported in Karachi whereas 45568 have been reported in rest of the country. Gulshan-e-Iqbal inhabitants had suffered the most number of snatching in Karachi which is above 1700.

Stop this madness, in the name of thy Lord!

It is said that when you kill a man, you destroy an entire universe! Humans are like tiny grains of sand on the beach. When one life is taken away, the beach becomes a smaller place. But what you are doing has reduced the entire Island to a grain. Your vile actions have wiped off humanity. And what for?? You say, in the names of communism, capitalism, nationalism, fascism and your what-not jargon. Corrupting the human soul, you attribute it for a greater good: for civilization! How much more will you lie??!
