Corruption at Unprecedented Levels - Can Someone save Pakistan from Asif Ali Zaradari & Billawal Zardari

By Sikander Hayat



Mr Asif Ali Zardari when will you understand the implications of your actions. Acquiring 300 acres in Islamabad and being a company director while being president of Pakistan is not good game. There are levels of corruption, a low level of corruption is tolerated by many societies because most people believe that minute discrepancies cannot be stopped but the level at which Mr Asif Zardari and his cronies are raking it in, it seems that there is no tomorrow.
Benazir Bhutto lost her government twice because of the
actions of this one man. Many of the close friends of Benazir Bhutto tried to warn her that her husband’s actions were undermining her credibility but she never listened. Now even that thin veneer of respectively is no longer there and there is nothing between Asif Ali Zardari and his unquenchable thirst for money.
Corruption it seems is something that Asif Zardari cannot live without and is looting the country as if there is no tomorrow. Pakistan can ill afford to continue to have a president who is more interested in filling his own & Billawal Zardari’s bank accounts than saving Pakistan and uniting Pakistan against her internal & external enemies.
Pakistan is going through a difficult phase in her history and needs a leader who is not a divisive figure, brings people together and helps Pakistan win this war. The question which bothers many democrats in Pakistan is of saving democracy while at the same time getting rid of this corruption infested government. We don’t want a military takeover but we also don’t want people like Asif Zardari to suck this country dry. I leave this to my readers to think of ways to make this possible. I look forward to your comments.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
