اگر قومی حکومت ہوتی

تحریک پاکستان کے سپوت اور پاکستانی صحافت کے بانی کی سانحہ سقوط مشرقی پاکستان پر لکھا ہوا اداریہ جس میں انھونے اسوقت کے پاکستانی حکمران اور میڈیا کی کمزوریاں بیان کی اور دکھایا کے کس طرح ہمارے دشمن کو ہم پر فوقیت حاصل ہوئی۔ انھونے ھندوستان کو سفاک دشمن قرار دیا اور مکتی باہنی کو غنڈوں کی صفت سے نوازا۔

Tears Of My Grandfather

It’s not just how the 70-year-old apologized profusely to the 7-year-old. And it’s not just how he cried on live television in a discussion on how Pakistan lost territory in 1971, as his grandson cried with him. Here is the founder of Pakistan’s media revolution, and the man who led the media war for Pakistan’s Independence Movement, through the eyes of his grandson on the 19th anniversary of his death.

Indian Army Chief Taken For A Ride By His Own Staff

Indian Army Chief Taken For A Ride By His Own Staff

This story shows how India is a large country with the mindset of a mouse. It demonstrates how Indian spy agents spend hours dissecting a public website of the Pakistan Army. In this case, an Indian intelligence officer analyzing the names of Pakistani martyrs posted on Pakistan Army’s official website thought he ‘discovered’ something. He shared it with Indian Army chief. Now all major Indian newspapers are celebrating this discovery. Amazingly, one of the official websites of President Zardari’s PPPP is also joining Indian celebrations. Here, a Pakistani website, Brasstacks.pk, shows how the Indian military might have been taken for a ride by incompetent intelligence officers.

Pakistani Giants Act As Pygmies: Premature ‘Retractions’ On WikiLeaks Story

Several Pakistani newspapers presented a funny scene next morning: falling over each other to apologize and explain. Pakistani giants were ruffled by a British newspaper that offered its own interpretation. None of the Pakistani giants had it in them to assess and reach their own conclusions.

Publisher Of WikiLeaks On India: ‘Any Inconvenience To Indians Is Regretted’

The Daily Mail’s story was dubbed ‘fake’ by The Guardian, which denies there is anything that embarrasses India in leaked US diplomatic cables. A couple of Pakistani newspaper prematurely ‘admitted’ it’s a hoax and one newspaper offered its own conspiracy theory, ‘It’s the work of agencies.’ Here is the editor of the newspaper explaining his side of the story.

Spinning The Leaks, Guardian Style

Spinning The Leaks, Guardian Style

CANADIAN WRITER JUSTIN BODUR: We should get used to looking at the cables themselves, and not letting the Guardian or anyone else (including Wikileaks if it comes to that) interpose themselves. That really is one of the most amazing things about Wikileaks – not that it gives the data to the Guardian, but that it gives the data to anyone. That is part of the reason that there is this unbelievable global persecution of Wikileaks going on (and not, for example, of the Guardian).

Guardian Uses WikiLeaks For Propaganda, Pakistani Media Can’t?

Guardian Uses WikiLeaks For Propaganda, Pakistani Media Can’t?

UK’s Guardian newspaper declared that WikiLeaks on India are fake. Really? Is US envoy Timothy Roemer’s cable of 16 Feb. 2010 calling Indian military “slow and slumbering” fake? Didn’t he call Indian military doctrine a “myth”? Guardian, along with NYT and a German magazine, ruined the good work of WikiLeaks by selectively releasing cables angled to attack nations at odds with US, British and Nato policies.

A new study released by Project For Pakistan In 21st Century in Islamabad advises the Pakistani government and military to adopt a ‘calm and defensive’ posture in dealing with US military threats against the country. The report reveals that the United States is using two words in its approach toward Pakistan: ‘Fragmentation’ and ‘Mistrust. The cover of the study uses the expression ‘Divide Your Enemy’ to reflect Washington’s current Pakistan policy. Project Pakistan 21, as the think tank is known, is an independent policy research institute based in Islamabad.

Why should the US government respect us when we undersell ourselves?

US Media Defends Zardari, Attacks Geo And Judiciary

US Media Defends Zardari, Attacks Geo And Judiciary

It is amazing that the mainstream US media is now deciding how the Pakistani media should conduct itself. It is a natural follow-up to US politicians and think-tank types deciding who should rule Pakistan and who shouldn’t, and who should be the designated enemy of Pakistan and who isn’t. In blaming the Americans, we also blame ourselves, our political and military rulers who emboldened foreigners to meddle in our affairs.

Pakistan: A Convict Does Not Deserve Nobel

Pakistan says Nobel Prize for peace for the year 2010 went to a convict who did not deserve it. Islamabad lauded China’s contribution to world prosperity and peace and condemned the ‘politicization’ of the award and using to meddle in other nations’ internal affairs.

A ‘Nobel’ Mob Ambush, Chicago Style

A ‘Nobel’ Mob Ambush, Chicago Style

The Nobel for Peace 2010 should be seen for what it is: a cheap, below-the-belt political hit disguised as a peace award. Guess who was going nuts watching China and Europe getting closer just before this spoiler was thrown?
