Sh Rashid attacked this is why Nawaz stays away?
Eric Margolis: To spend $1 trillion, one would have had to start spending $1 million daily soon after Rome was founded and continue for 2,738 years until today.
Jawed Naqvi: To begin with, Rahul Gandhi may want to pick up the Justice B.N. Srikrishna Commission report which was initiated by his own party to probe the 1992-93 communal frenzy in Mumbai and then discarded by it. In fact, he might want to compare its fate to several other similar reports that preceded the Srikrishna Commission. “Even after it became apparent that the leaders of the Shiv Sena were active in stoking the fire of the communal riots, the police dragged their feet on the facile and exaggerated assumption that if such leaders were arrested the communal situation would further flare up, or to put it in the words of then (Congress) Chief Minister, Sudhakarrao Naik, ‘Bombay would burn’; not that Bombay did not otherwise.” That report.

The recent blasts in Karachi should have been an eye-opener for those who consider the ongoing Taliban movement as jihad, and also a wake up call for the clerics to do away with their swollen pride and prejudice for the cause of humanity and safety of the nation
Babar Ayaz: The Richie Riches of Pakistan have mostly bought a second passport. Most of them are not honest enough like their poor Gujrati cousins to admit that they have a second passport.... I have to concede that no political and security analyst at present can take on a bet that our security situation is going improve in the near future. There are many who invested first in Dubai and are now doing so in Malaysia just to get the residential permit, which clearly prohibits such people from undertaking any work in these countries....Middle class boys talk against migration only till they get the opportunity to jump ship.
Ishtiaq Ahmed: A recent estimate suggests that India will wipe out Pakistan (120 million Pakistanis out of 170 million) in a nuclear war but only after it loses 500 million of its own people. Does that make any sense?
