Baithak Desi Jun 05: Al Qaeda killing Muslims, Mahmud Sipra, Marvi Memon, Headlines, Cartoons

Chota Osama - Al Zawahiri who dares not show his face in public has claimed the credit for the suicide bombing in Islamabad - calling it a revenge act against the Danish Cartoon insult to the Prophet (saw). A revenge that took the life of eight innocent Muslim bystanders. These two scoundrels who go on a killing spree in my and your name all over the world should have the guts to come out and seek our support - openly and in public.

That they hide - in ToraBora or K2 or the White House basement is telling!

I do not believe in blanket capital punsihment - but if these guys are every caught, they should be tried and hung in a stadium in front of thousands and the event televised the world over. May the wrath of Allah visit them!

Whether anyone likes to admit it or not, he is a decent and well-meaning son of the soil. No self-respecting army in the world is going to allow one of its own to be even touched by a motley group of half-baked politicians of questionable probity that Pakistan has had the misfortune of being infested with. You want to prosecute him and persecute him? Well think about this, if you want to try him, you will be putting on trial the entire Pakistan Army. Make no mistake about it. Mahmud Sipra speaking plainly.


I would like to present readers some current environmental concerns. The people of Pakistan can decide whether these are pressing enough for the government to act on them. For example, 600 walnut trees are being cut in Kalash valleys. Why? Is the possible extinction of the Palla fish an issue for the government to act upon? Why is the CNG bus project facing so much delay? What is the government doing about the rising cases of diarrhoea and gastroenteritis among children as a result of ruptured sewerage lines? What is being done to check deforestation which is rising at an alarming rate? What has become of the clean drinking water project? What is being done about the timber mafia that is depriving local communities along the Karakorum Highway of income? Why is the government not doing anything about preserving our priceless historical sites like Moenjodaro? Why is nothing done to improve the lives of our mountain porters or to protect mountain villages from advancing glaciers? Is the silting of our dams due to deforestation not an issue? Should the House resolve to protect the country's mangroves, deserts, glaciers, rivers, lakes and its atmosphere? Should the House resolve to build a 'green volunteer force'? Marvi Memon
