The Way I See It

As news of an MQM leaders death broke all shops were closed. A day without business in the financial hub of the country will not help solve our national economic problems.

The utterly careless, stolid response of the Pakistan media in general and the blogosphere in particular towards the flood disaster is appalling.

Cameron’s remarks are arguably ineffective and aptly demonstrate a glaring lack of consideration for attempts made by Pakistan to eradicate terrorism.

The MQM has obviously made up its mind to destroy the land mafia, and I as a citizen of this manic metropolis am wholeheartedly in favour of the plan, come what may.

Would my death be noticed if I had influential contacts or if I was a political activist? Yes. But all other target killing victims are just faceless statistics to gain sympathy.

When government institutions fail to provide relief, organisations like Jamat ud Dawa step in. Thousands of stranded people are waiting to be exploited.

As 90,000 douments revealed American failures and war crimes the mainstream US media chose once again to indulge in anti-Pakistanism.

It is a little wonder that discussion on sexuality in Pakistan is often misperceived as being synonymous to pornography and its understanding is mostly limited to the act of sex.

If fake degree holders go unpunished, we will suffer for the rest of our lives. It will bring problems for Pakistani's living locally or abroad, as nobody will trust us.

When global relationships are based on commerce, trade and industrial enrichment, India and Pakistan can’t overlook the importance of a two-pronged relationship.
