Bhuttos family’s bad habbit of renaming stuff on their own names

In Pakistan there is a habit of political parties that they start renaming all the country’s assets or any new project started by them for country using country’s money they do, on their own party’s leader names. This trend never bothered me until this last time when Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) crossed all the limits and renamed lots of road’s, hospitals, airports and almost all new projects on name of their leader Benazir Bhutto who was assassinated after a political rally on way out of venue. For example why would some one in their right mind rename the Airport of Islamabad capital city from Islamabad International Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport. I mean in another country when someone will […]

General Elections 2013 are only chance for Pakistan’s revival

In terms of natural resources and skilled/semi skilled man power Pakistan is not behind any country pf world. Would rather be ahead of majority of countries. Only thing it lacks is honest leadership which have a clear, positive vision for the country. Unfortunately, in past whomever Pakistani people have trusted, mostly they have let them down. So called democracy never worked well for this country. Many times Army had to takeover the government forcefully. Some would differ but those periods when Army had the charge they proved to bit better than others only due to those faulty individuals on whom people previously trusted. The thing which lets us down too many times a support system for those specific parties trended […]

Pakistan witnessed more than 49000 reported deaths in so called regarding war on terror

An Indian news article, based on news reports from Pakistan stated that 49000 Pakistanis lost their lives in activities regarding war on terrorism. These include innocent people died in blasts and attacks on civilian population as retaliation to actions against so called militants residing on Pakistani soil. This number is much more than the reported number stated above. As lots of deaths would never have been reported. Some here believe that thing have been mishandled by previous governments, specially Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the Zardari led political party in power. For example, they were unable to settle terms about drone attacks with United States on Pakistani soil. Which, Americans say, were carried out to target militants but according to all […]

Economy

Pakistani Rupee fell 66% in last 5 years of people’s party in government

In last few years Pakistani Rupee (PKR) lost its strength more than ever. Never before rupee fallen so much over such a short period of time. This all shows how much grip Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had over the economy. In simple words absolutely none. Rupee’s worth against US Dollar (USD) was 60 Rupees against one USD 5 years ago but now as PPP ruled and left, rupee fallen to 100 rupees against one USD. Not only this also over the last 5 years foreign investors only pulled out, Pakistan does not seen any new investment cumming in. Stock exchanges only seen downturn all the time making the lots of investors lose their faith in investing into the shares. Let […]
