Previously Pak Army had its stud breeding programs. They used to produce thoroughbred horses, mules and donkeys for military use.
I think it was Zia who got an idea that Army should use its enormous muscles and vast expertise to produce good type of loyal dogs as well on mass scale. For that purpose they hired Quraishi’s parents. Other notables among founding members of that canine production line were parents of Malik Qayyum, Sher Afgan, Pirzada, Hameed Dogar et al.
This Quraishi started his writing career by churning out high-quality scrap in different national dailies. After a while all of them stopped publishing his often illogical rather idiotic stuff. I remember reading a title of this “writer” somewhere

Mr. President, Why The Political Opportunism? We Could Give You A Lifetime Mandate If You Asked Us!

The only thing he is good at is unimaginable amount of TC. He can take the balls of any mortal to heights that seem impossible at first sight. He is a master @ss licker who can make a goat to believe that she is a direct descendant of a tiger.

Publishing this article is a sheer insult of the intelligence of readers. I have failed to find anything that makes sense. What a thoroughbred BS, indeed.

India has been unable to do what it would wish to do with its much smaller neighbour.


Umm..I think it's done quite well to keep pakis from realizing their number 1 dream: kashmir banega pakiland..

All these very valid points in this article. However, as they say, every time you point a finger at somebody else, three of your own fingers point at your own self. If things are in a sorry mess in the land of the pure, we have to look more inwards than anywhere else. The maliase and rot are from the inside out. Lets imagine the total moral and political bankruptcy plaguing us that despite the musical chairs played by sundry of our politicians again and again, and despite their moral turpitude, a majority of ignorant and lost souls, instead of booting out all these thieving politicians to kingdom come are preparing to bring them back in. What sort of democarcy is this? Can Mafia Dons win party tickets and contest elections in any other democratic setup?

As for the gloating and religious epithets pronounced by some Indians here, it need not be so. First because it would be so nice if India and Pakistan could peacefully co-exist together like Canada and the States. Second, as a 5 times larger country, its a shame that despite everything, India has been unable to do what it would wish to do with its much smaller neighbour. Third, religion is something very personal, and throughout history it has been the cause of some of the greatest strife the world over, no matter who or what the deity of worship. In other words, neither banging your head on the ground five times a day nor drinking five glasses of cow urine could get you much salvation if otherwise you happen to be a mean, wretched, wicked soul.

Is Chowk a civil society platform? I am increasingly being disillusioned on this point.
Ahmed Qureshi is PTV anchor that cherry picks facts. We see him day in and day out discrediting the journalistic profession. Why has Chowk given him additional space. He is already polluting the TV airspace; this, while the independent journalists are being incarcerated.

The absurd point that Quershi is making is that civil society does not have legs to stand on... and hidden forces are propping us up. Qureshi does not shed light into why a civil scoiety leaders like Munir Malik has mysterioluy been rendered bed ridden.

We all know that Musharraf was propped up by the West because he had no electoral legitimacy and he was spineless and he would be pushover on the international scene. And if he dare say anything to the West, he would be back into a pariah dog status (that a dictator deserves from day 1).

He let the Indians build a fence on a disputed territory without batting an eyelid. He went on to sell his book in the West and portray Pakistan as a terrorist country with only him being the savoir. Musharraf has made a mockery of all our institutions and is taking us back to the jungle.

Quershi has been supporting him to the hilt on PTV. He has been hogging the airwaves while independent channels are being censored. Chowk needs to revisit its editorial standards to say the least.

What a mess, what a mess in the Land of the Pure!!

What is going on in Pakistan is one big political drama. How entertaining!.

I wonder why in the world, these Pakistani leaders did not bother- in the last 60 years- going about the serious business of building the nation than embarking on foolish adventures of training Jihadis, fighting covert wars in Kashmir and pursuing stupid Afghan policies ? These idiots even lost half of the coubtry!

Will this bfdolly ever change? Will Allah vget off his ass and drive some sense to his followers?

I have a very low opinion of Pakistani politicians and still believe that the best treatment that they should get is that they be lined up against the wall, and be shot yet credit must be given where it is due. I applaud APDMs boycott of these sham kanjarkhana elections.

But still this is only a very minor step they have taken viz a viz confinedence building measure with the nation. So the best advise to Bezamir and Sirkari moulvi Fazalurrehamn is to stop being pigs and listen to the call of the nation. NaPak fouj has no place in Pakistan. Its not jsut Mucharraf but atleast 150 top brass that need to be court martialed and hanged. Anything less than that is totally unacceptable.

zee

if hinuds are pigs, you being grand-son of grandpa gopinath, puts you in the same category... But then, since your bedouin faith is so irrationally antagonistic towards pigs - you are pretty much a walking living contradiction...

To be true to your faith, you are supposed to behead yourself, just for being who you are - a descendant of the most unclean animal in the planet... right?

I just heard (breathless icon here), that mush-e-ruff-the-muff has been awarded the Bharat Ratna, in absetia and in secret. The medal and certificate are locked up in a selaed vault.

Now wonder mush-e-ruff is carrying out Indian's agenda.
