Re: # 98
Mr.Ranjit please read #105.
As a head of state there are duties. As said in old days king have no relative but all subjects are his children and all are equal. Some duties are bitter but as said kings have no kins. Now he has all powers but rulers can not enjoy it, he is king but has nothing its lonely at top and life devoted to statecraft and General is that level, he has all power but he can not use for himself but he has to take bitter decisions as a king as any father has to whip boys and rebuke daughters for bad deeds, bad company of friends and lafangas hanging around them. Then your daughters do not like you , they think you are stupid and they feel you are retart and living 7th century and they think they have wisdom . Peer pressure and watching silly hindi movies and immitating stupid things from and indian cultural ethos which is short name for degeneration. You fight hard like no TV here but you compromise to have radio. Any way fortunately I am through and i have not to put up with all nonsense of daughters and there whims and caprice. and they go fast and then do not want to write letters regularly ( I told them I do not consider emails as letter, i read and take out and junk it) I told them I want real letter on first of month by POST and written in hand no type thing.and they say they are busy which i do not accept at all. All boys and girls have become selfish and no attention , its stupid like feeding neighbours goat. Any way president has similar job no compliments but just compalaints and whining by third grade politicians, liberals and seculars.
PM complained to him regarding CJs intermingling in many things and improportionate wealth. What he can do , your prime minister MMS will have empathy as he has to dismiss corroupt ministers all time.
You should not take arjun seriously as he has ``agenda`` and enjoys misery and gloats about problems is sad thing.
Also this newspapers should stop put of videos as most want to read and see any thing. Reading makes you think . All videos are partisan and in had test.
Have good day.

Present turmoil conspiracy against me: Musharraf

* President says he has no personal differences with chief justice
* Urges protestors and police to exercise restraint

PAKPATTAN: President General Pervez Musharraf has said a conspiracy is being hatched against him and the country over the reference against the chief justice of Pakistan.

Addressing a public gathering of some 30,000 people at Pakpattan on Saturday, Gen Musharraf said he was confident that with the nation’s support, he would overcome the “intrigues” against him and the government.

The president asked people not to protest on the roads against the suspension of the chief justice, as this would hamper Pakistan’s development and damage its image. He urged both protestors and the police to “exercise restraint” and not resort to violence.

Gen Musharraf said he had no personal differences with the chief justice. He said the reference was prepared by the government and it was his legal and constitutional duty to refer it to the Supreme Judicial Council. He stressed that he had only acted upon the advice of the prime minister and some ministers. He said some people were “doing politics and hatching conspiracies against me and the country on an issue which is legal and constitutional”. He reiterated that he would accept whatever verdict the Supreme Judicial Council made on the reference.

Referring to Friday’s police action against private TV channel Geo in Islamabad and bomb hoax at the Geo office in Karachi, the president said the incident was “very unfortunate” and condemned it. He said an investigation had been launched to determine who was behind the police assault on the television station. He said the action was an attempt to malign him. “I am blamed for everything,” he said.

Gen Musharraf said he was a firm believer in press freedom and so it was unthinkable that he would take such action. He said it was under his rule that the media was given freedom. There was no private media in the country six years ago, he pointed out. He said he would continue to support press freedom.

The president also announced a gas supply project for southern Punjab worth Rs 4 billion, grant of ownership rights to 21 slum areas in the region, and Rs 2.5 million for each union council for development projects in their areas. agencies

The following closing line from Cowasjee`s column of March 18, 2007; entitled ``Mismanaged and Dysfunctional``, is rather telling.

This is a short column. Disgust and dismay prevents me from writing more. All we can do is murmur to ourselves “Let Good triumph over Evil.”

Q: How many Pakistani khakis does it take to beat up one unarmed lawyer?

A: Two. One to beat him to pulp and the other to ensure that the first one does a ``good`` job!

``The ``liberal`` elite among the PPPs are a known group of Mohajir-haters that all of us recognize and none of us trusts. ``

Salim Bhai,

You are quite correct on this issue. There are a great many decadent and subversive elements within the rank of PPP itself that BB should take care of. I think BB needs to re-invent her political manifesto towards building a liberal , secular and democratic future Pakistan, throw away the baggage of Islamism and project herself as some one who can be a viable replacement for Musharaff politically.

All interactors,

I hereby apologize to all the lawyers of the world for all the lousy things I have ever said regarding that profession!

I reproduce below a picture that Dr. Lokraj put up on UP. This picture is the reason, the ``cause``.

I would have considered it beyond belief - had not the image stared back so starkly!

My dear friend - the lawyer, I do not know who you are, but I salute you from my heart! And if it is any consolation, please remember that the path that you are following is the only path that still works - yes, even in this day and even in this age! I am not even going to name any names - and certainly not the great man who went down that path a long while ago!

My sincere best to you, my friend!

Re: 80

The author of this ``reliable`` report, B. Raman, is one of the worst Pak-haters in India. While it is possible that the Corp Commanders sent a letter to Musharraf, I wouldn`t believe B. Raman if he told me that Monday came after Sunday or 2 + 2 = 4.

Care to share any evidence to back your above claim?

Re: # 86

naqsahbandi,

....... if bangladesh beat india and ireland beats pakistan, which is more than likely, it will prove once and for all that mo of mecca might be stronger than hanuman but he is still no match for st patrick and aab-i-zumzum is no substitute for green beer .........

........... cheers !

Re: # 90 Hamidm

It has been already proved scientifically that Hanuman is much stronger than Allah.

Long time back a contest was held between the two - to see who can hit the other harder. Allah struck Hanuman so hard, he went flying and came back limping after 7 days (meanwhile Allah got time to create the world which he did rather badly). Then it was Hanuman`s turn, and to this day Muslims start their prayers with Ajaan ``Allah, where are you, come back.......``.
