Just a couple of days ago, a reception ceremony in the Pakistan President Avenue was organized to honor the victorious Pakistan Cricket Team. One thing that should have been noticed but was not noticed probably, was that in the avenue, there were big portraits of former Pakistani PM Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, former PM Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, current President Asif Ali Zardari and their son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. The real portraits by which the Presidency should have been graced with, were missing, I am referring to the portraits of founders of Pakistan i.e. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Dr. Allama Iqbal.
My mind is flooded with lots of questions right now. Is this the personal property of Asif Ali Zardari? Or is it their family house? No way! This is the constitutional avenue that is a big responsibility for the President. Please don’t get my wrong, I in no way mean to disrespect the Bhutto family, I respect them. But the thing is if the President is allowed to throw away the main portraits and replace with the portraits of his family, then former President Pervez Musharraf’s family’s portraits should have been there too.
This is the thing that is making me sick. The President House is the temporary residency for the President of Pakistan, and the Public Avenue of the Presidency should have remained uninfluenced. It should have been graced with the photos of founders of Pakistan and the respectable historical personalities like Liaquat Ali Khan, Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar etc.
I respect everyone’s opinion so my readers are welcomed to share their views here in the comments, as for me, I strongly condemn and Protest against such kind of blunders at the Presidency.

As they say, a picture speaks a hundred words, so I believe a video speaks thousand =D Therefor I have expressed all what I wanted to say in this Vlog Post. I have summed up and created a short documentary of PakCricket from 2007-2009:
All of my readers must have been thinking that why I am not writing anything in these crucial times, especial when so many things like Nizam-e-Adal , occupation of Buner, Dir had happened. Few of my friends even thought that I am silent because I am in favor of peace deal. Few even put me under an allegation that since I support PTI, so this time too I am supporting them silently. But this is not so!! I have already made it clear that I don’t blog for any political party and I have my own point of view.
I apologize all my readers for not being blogging regularly since the past month but I have reasons to explain. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been 30 years since we lost a visionary leader and a politician of Pakistan. He was also the founder of Pakistan Peoples Party and former Prime Minister of Pakistan. Bhuttos personality has always been controversial as few people accuse him for being the cause of Dhaka Fall however that isn’t really the truth. The history witnesses that Pakistan Army under the dictation of a military dictator Yahya Khan, launched a genocide in East Pakistan now Bangladesh. However we can say that there was also a little political immaturity of Mr. Bhutto who didn’t allow the NA session to be called and didn’t respect the mandate of Sheikh Mujib ur Rahman but there was a reason behind that. Bhutto never wanted Mujib to be a Prime Minister under his terms of 6 points for East Pakistan. Because those 6 points were against the federation.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was executed on the orders of the worst military dictator of Pakistan’s history Zia ul Haq.
Teeth Maestro publishes another eyewitness report drafted at 7:00 PM by Farooq Tariq Spokesperson Labor Party Pakistan, as shared by hom on the Peoples Resistance network:
I am now at the compound where this whole incident took place. On the third floor where the four terrorists blew themselves. The body parts are every where, blood is spread all over. Police and army is not allowing anybody inside. Only the police photographer is taking the photographs inside. There are blood on the cloths hanging inside. The four terrorists were encircled here. They refused to surrender and finally after 8 hours, decided to blew themselves. I was told by a policeman that they had no more arms left with them. Here groups after group of police and rangers are raising slogans like Allah Akbar (god is great). They are posing as they have conquered another country[. .]

Eye Witness report drafted at 10:30am by Farooq Tariq the Spokesperson Labour Party Pakistan
I am writing this at 10am on 30 March 2009.
As I arrived back from my usual morning walk around 7am, a massive round of firing was heard at my place. I asked my partner Shahnaz, if she noticed that, she said maybe, a routine matter and such incident of firing is taking place almost daily. Then another round of firing started, I told her this is very unusual. It went on for some time.
I live near Jallo Park, and not for from G T Road that leads to Wahgha border. Manawan Police Training Center is on this GT Road and just opposite to our place, around a kilometer away.
I turned to the television, there was not any mention of this firing, but the firing was still going on. Around 7.30am, some private television stations started telling that firing and some blast is heard at Manawan Police Training center and no more details[. . ]
It seems that Quaid e Azam Jinnah’s prophecy is turning true, He said that it’ll take a hundred years for Pakistanis to become a nation. After 61 years of partition, people are now stepping towards solving the problems and becoming united as a single nation. Having realized that Pakistani is a culturally enriched state having people from different ethnic backgrounds, we have an ethnic group called Bangalis. They are the people who migrated to then West Pakistan at the time of Partition. We have about 2,000,000 Bangalis in Pakistan.
In 1971, when East Pakistan got separated and became Bangladesh, these pro-Pakistani Bangalis resisted and remained loyal to Pakistan. But those Bangalis have still been treated as if they are traitors. But now the things are changing and Bangalis are given proper statuses as the awareness is being raised by the media. One such step is taken by Hum TV Pakistan, they have produced a drama serial called “Aashti” to depict the condition and circumstances of Pakistani Bangalis. That is a great piece of work, I am sharing the intro song of this drama with you:
“Save Balochistan, Save Pakistan! Stand up to SAY NO TO US AIR STRIKES WITHIN PAKISTANI TERRITORIES”
The US military is now considering to extend air strikes from the Pakistani tribal areas to the Province of Balochistan. We have witnessed that the US drone attacks were not killing the terrorists, but the innocent citizens of tribal areas. And their coward and aggressive planning to extend air strikes to Balochistan is something that we wont let happen. We Pakistanis gotta stand up and speak, otherwise it may end up into something like what happened in 71 or US will feel no shame in extending the strikes to other provinces also. We just cant remain to be the spectators, I request the Bloggers to join the protest once Again!
Enjoy !
