Political spokesmen of the terrorists must be stopped...

Don't give media platform to the views of the terrorists...

Peace deal is made by other enemy countries not with our own home grown terrorists who are aided and abetted by the religious parties and some who are the political spokesmen of the terrorists on both print and electronic media.

Day in and day out 24x7 there is a constant bombarding of USA without understanding the genesis of problems. Every minute we are confusing young minds. We have created a siege mentality of our young minds. Blasts take place, in a minute 300 women are made widows, 3000 kids orphaned, every body is weeping but you will not find the religious scholars coming and condemning them. On the contrary they give excuses that America is in Afghanistan, hence. Go and kill the invaders next door. Why kill our own people? They have the same answer. Let America go. For sure yes. But why are you killing our own people? No answer.

The anchors, guests and callers all love the blame game and no one, absolutely no one puts his fingers on the real issues. All are playing to the gallery. All are being populist with utter disregard to national loss. Each one of the guys above has one way or the other supported terror which they call Jihad. It may be a Jihad in Afghanistan but fighting a Muslim State and its army is most certainly not Jihad. Will some one tell them what Jihad is? Rest later Inshallah.

Ifteqar Mirza and Rehman Malik must resign and Dr. Shahid Masood eased out of media...

Karachi is burning thanks to the poor governance and poorer policing...

When a disaster takes place the authorities who are directly or indirectly responsible for it usually in a civilized world resign. But with us any disaster, mismanagement, bad governance does not matter. Whatever may be the consequences we do not resign. That is the level of apathy we have. Needless to count the number of mishaps and disaster. We are so used to it now we all know. http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/metropolitan/04-karachi-death-toll-rises-qs-05

What is the solution? The solution lies in good governance and no body spared for their failings. From the concerned minister, top government official to the last man controlling on the street must be punished and fired for not doing their job and unceremoniously removed from service. Don't worry our population is large and if merit is allowed to prevail we will get excellent candidates to fill the positions. They will then do a good job because they will know their fate if they do not perform.

I hope the authorities are listening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh0z77imVUo&NR=1 Laikin ab dil bhar gaya.

And while Rome is burning Nero is fiddling. Dr. Shahid Masood with his pranks in the media seems to be the Nero. He has an ax to grind instead of doing his job of informing and analysing honestly without taking sides. Wish he had done journalism from Lahore instead of medicine from Karachi and wasting a medical seat.

Ibn ul Waqth - Dr. Shahid Masood

He can best be described as

Ibn Ul Waqth

Dr. Shahid Masood can best be described as Ibn ul Waqth. When it was Pervez Musharraf's time I remember he would sing praises of him. There are so many episodes of him. Now he is instigating people against one person. Pervez Musharraf came to power under unusual circumstances. Pervez Musharraf was neither Mussolini nor a dictator. Dr. Shahid Masood could say what he could thanks to Musharraf who gave freedom of speech to this extent. A dictator does not allow it.

Now also he is pushing for forgetting NRO as the money has gone out. He does not know of principles. He must join a good school of journalism that will teach him how a journalist does not take sides. He is so restrained in criticising the government. He is not pro-poor but pro-rich and the landed class who has exploited the country for over 60 years.

Dr. Shahid Masood is doing nothing for the country. He is doing nothing for the poor peasants to release them from bonds of labour and slavery. He has to push for land ceiling that is at the core of structural reforms he is not doing any thing big like that. He is whipping a dead horse and calling it a revolution. He is not a journalist. He is a rabble rouser only. Period.

Stop conspiracy theories speak the truth now...

Dr. Shahid Masood and his Conspiracy Theories!

Dr. Saheb by adding the pickle of history you made it very interesting. You start very good but when you get down to brass tacks you loose track. Both the gentlemen you brought as guests were pedestrian, the were not prepared, had not done their home work hence took the easy route of blaming others for our failings. They loved to blame anything except ourselves and you concurred mostly. We must see how we are conducting our own affairs nationally and internationally.

The world has its own ways of doing things and views our affairs from their own security needs. There may be anomalies for sure. If you for ever lean on conspiracy theories you will never get to facts. If you want to feel victimized you will never get to the truth of the problem. The fact remains our international PR is pathetic and our media is abysmally unaware of international affairs and how the world is conducting its affairs in the global village.

Our diplomats posted world wide just enjoy their positions and perks and nothing else. Their contribution to image buildingof Pakistan is zero. They are not pro-actve nor re-active. They just let bad press pass by. As a matter of fact they should be stopping negative reporting of Pakistan. There are ways to do it. Before it sees the light of the day it must be stopped. It is their job to do it. That is why professionals are required in such jobs not political appointees.

Electronic media is of recent times. When news used to come on telexes you knew from news agencies what is going to appear the next day. Good Press Attaches were supposed to stop that publishing by strong PR the night before. Pakistan diplomats never did it. As a matter of fact when I told a press attache abroad, "you have a daunting task ahead of you" he replied "there is no work".

And in the same city the Indian Consulate had housed seven Press Attaches fully trained belonging to their elite IFS (Indian Foreign Service) selected on an all India merit basis who were extremely busy promoting India and doing damage contro for killing Muslims in Inda or demolishing mosques. Our diplomats abroad do not do their job, our media castigates 24x7 our own guy just because he was a military man ignoring critical events relating to Pakistan worldwide. The present president who comes with a baggage of corruption cases is not touched at all. You did criticise him in this episode and did a good job.

But our anchor persons including you are constantly harping on conspiracy theories and are hell bent on confusing the audience that we are very good and very innocent, someone else is doing something to us. How long will this game go on Sir? Give our people some truth too. No body stopped a corrupt to the core guy from becoming the President. So much for our democracy. Having given the keys to the thief what are we talking about Sir?

Please for Heavens sake stop blaming others and set our house in order. When we are beaten by illegal weapons weilding Taliban and are not able to defeat them for over two months why should the world believe that we can protect the Nuclear Assets? We are not able to stop petty sardars from blowing up installations in Baluchistan why do you want the world to accept that we can do a good job of maintaining security and safeguarding The Nuclear Assets. This is a very serious issue.

Not only the West but we too must be most concerned. Every now and then we see soft corner for terrorists. Why are not terrorists condemned in no uncertain terms? Look at Imran Khan, Qazi Husain Ahmed, Munawar Hasan, Waheed Hussain of Waqth News (the terrorist channel) how they espouse the cause of terrorists. Any body other than the state toting a gun is a terrorist. We must recognise this. Law and order will never come if people have guns.

You are a guy who must walk on your own feet. Why do you want to take crutches? Conspracy theories are like crutches which you take when you are lame. Similarly when brain stops working and analysis fails they resort to conspiracy theories. But those who are well informed don't do that. Our media does not come out with guns blazing against the fact that these terrorists are in fact cowards who hide behind women and children as a result we had so many IDPs.

Please refrain from conspiracy theories and get down to real facts if you don't do that Allah is going to question you why did you mislead people?

These days he is doing better programs. But the programs he once did about 9/11 were full of conspiracy theories and awful. He muddled the young minds and also of elderly people. Saying that 9/11 they did it themselves without proof was absurdity of the highest order and Dr. Shaid Masood indulged in it. No Sir you should not do this.

I heard him blunder with respect to Qadeer Khan. It was totally unnecessary. Thank God Musharraf saved him otherwise we don’t know what Americans would have done of him. But his deeds must be exposed to save the nation. However big a hero he may be he cannot be above the law.

No body must be above the law. The whole world is quite on NRO. One wonders why? Where has the sense of justice gone? Or is it that Zardari and Nawaz have ganged up: I scratch your back, you scratch mine.
