The government seems gloating over its two new victories. The government got a very favorable ruling from Supreme Court of Pakistan (although, I doubt it had anything to do with capability of lawyers hired by government and more to do with able judiciary take due cognizance of existing state of affairs). Secondly, during strategic dialogue, government functionaries and army officials were treated with a rare treat in the form of brief meeting with President of USA, Barack Obama (I fear some of the delegates are not going to wash their hands for long lest the American charm might wash away...lolz no pun intended)Today, in our last blog for this week we present you with not just one but three emerging scenarios.
So, a wake up call is needed for fools like me who have a tendency to feel elated over such trivial matters. So, the three emerging news of interest, I shall briefly summarize:
 |
| Caution Needed |
1. The Washington Post has come up with a very scathing attack on Pakistani media. Seems like shenanigans of media are finally driving its ardent supporters away. The post was particularly critical of role played by Jang group of newspapers and GEO television. I am quite afraid that media through its over the top coverage of SC proceedings on Thursday has further marginalized itself. I think, a real soul searching by media is critically needed. You can read the detailed report on following URL:

2. Despite all the euphoria over strategic dialogue, America has reportedly denied several facilities to some units of Pakistan army which are reportedly involved in extra judicial killings in Swat and Waziristan agencies. I guess it is one of the most severe rebuke to the only organized institution of Pakistan (whetehr we like it or not) and reminds me of several reports that I read about the military operation undertaken against then east Pakistan (now Bangldesh). It is very important for us in Pakistan and also in Army (in my humble opinion) to take this matter quite seriously. Otherwise, I guess, the forced bent upon undermining the sovereignty of Pakistan are agin out to achieve their goals. These acts, if actually committed are highly deplorable and should be investigated and punished in the strictest professional manner. The detailed news can be read at:

3. Indians are at it again. According to Times of India, America has once again asked to know details of Sino-Pak nuclear arrangements and I guess this cat is not going to get back into its bag that easily. In the coming days, pressure is going to be more intense and perhaps, we may see a flurry of events in this regard as well....The news reports can be read at:

So a very happy weekend to all of you and you may be blessed in everything about your life.
