Fuel for Thought
Billions are given to sugar mafia through subsidies. Billions are given in huge support packages to development and land sectors. This was the only sector which was given billions during Covid-19; more than health itself. You already know why! Billions are spent every year on official vehicles which roam freely in and around cities as…

Nationally Sexist
Though this land is pure and it is defined by its religion, but you peek a little closely and this land offers you nothing but hypocrisy. Hypocrisy wrapped with tasbeeh in hand and religion all around. Women have been ridiculed here in politics since the beginning. Don’t know how and when we inherited that. Ayub…

Charismatic without Ethos, Pathos & Logos
The followers were happy when he entered through help. But they became extremely angry when he was asked to leave through the same corridors. The followers became radicals. Already radicalized became a cult. Suddenly they started to see missing people and silencing of voices too. But they couldn’t see logic or reason. The speeches are…

Perween Rahman’s Karachi
Parween Rehman tried to do – and did to a valuable extent – which we cannot even think of because we are too cowardly and lazy to be a fierce warrior like her. Apart from development issues, her main struggle was for water for the poor neighborhood of Orangi in Karachi. And what did she…

Saturdays Redefined
Saturdays have never been better. Live action every weekend from 10 am to 1 am next morning. What else can one demand in life? I’m so fine with this. This culture. This mob. Inside parliaments.

You violated the Constitution“, said no one. Because cult following has a thing: It’s of idiots. Always. Let’s recap – brief history of not-so-homo-sapiens: Right after…

Thank you Chief!
Those who believed “missing people” is a hoax, were protesting with posters of Vigo last night. Those who said “PTM is against the state”, were against the state like PTM yesterday. Those who used to say “must have done something”, were tweeting “what have they done?” this weekend. Those who believed elections were “free and…

Youthopia
4 steps to greatness: Pre-requisite: Tasbih. It’s handy. Step 1: Make a story that West is against you and America has purchased traitors to oust your government. Step 2: Sell it. Market it. Advertise it daily. Tell people your life is in danger too. Step 3: Use Constitution to breach Constitution and dissolve the government.…

Nothing Permanent & Nothing Personal
William Clay said, “This is quite a game, politics. There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests.” Don Vito Corleone said, “Keep your friends close, but enemies closer.” Nicolo Machiavelli wrote a whole book ‘The Prince’ on this topic. This all is nothing personal, strictly business. So, opponents of Khan must…

Clowns for Clowns
If you are supporting any political party right now – be it PTI, PPP, PMLN, PLMQ, MQM, JUF or TLP – you are more into submission than into conscientiousness. His Highness is for civil supremacy; be it any form attained through parliamentary politics. Anti-establishment and anti-milbus. And none of these parties are up to this.…
