The Return of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz - Insaf Blog - Haider Raza
A non-establishment but very knowledgeable pigeon whispered in my ear that Nawaz, after the Avenfield judgement, had approached several quarters requesting that he and Maryam, and unsurprisingly no mention of Safdar Luggar buggar, be granted judicial relief from punishment and jail. In return both will publicly renounce all forms of political and electoral politics and permanently live...
Too Lazy to Vote - Too Early to Change - Insaf Blog by Sarah Ahmed
Mr. Chaudhry, who lives down the street loves a good holiday. He says that he's too lazy to vote and Mrs. Chaudhry says the same and her grown up children have heard their parents saying this all their lives, so they don't vote either. But, Mr. Chaudhry and his family also curse when there's no light, argue about how they can't save for that trip to the northern areas that they yearn for...
Court Ka Faisla Na Manzoor? - Insaf Blog by Mohammad Tehseen
نواز شریف کو سزا کرپشن پر نہیں آمدن سے زائد اثاثے بنانے پر ہوئی۔ اور نواز شریف تو پہلے ہی کہہ چکے ہیں کہ اگر میرے اثاثے میری آمدن سے زائد ہیں تو تمہیں کیا ہے بھئی۔؟ جہاں تک یہ بات ہے کہ اگر کرپشن نہیں کی تو آمدن سے زائد اثاثے کیسے بن گئے؟ تو بھئی نواز شریف بہت بڑا کاروباری آدمی ہے بھاؤ تاؤ کرکے کم قیمت میں زیادہ اثاثے خرید لیے ہونگے۔ پھر کچھ لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ اتنی عظیم الشان...
The die is cast:There's no turning back now! - Insaf Blog by Haider Mehdi
No matter how much Nawaz and company try to muddy the waters by building a narrative of establishments high handedness because he wanted to control them, the inexorable march of accountability will not stop. One may find our judicial system leaky or full of loopholes but even this rickety system was able to nail Nawaz so blatant and brazen was his loot and plunder. One may...

Karachi needs water, trees and a clean environment - Insaf Blog by Ali Taj
اگر کراچی کے مسائل کی بات کی جائے پانی قلت، صفائی کا فقدان، درختوں کا کٹاؤ اور کام کاج کا نہ ملنا سر فہرست ہیں۔ البتہ ناقص سرکاری ہسپتال، سکول، ٹرانسپورٹ اور سڑکوں کا حال الگ سنگیں مسائل ہیں۔ پانی کی کمی: شہر قائد میں پانی کی کمی کا مسئلہ سنگین ہوتا جارہا ہے۔ لوگوں کو صاف پینے کا پانی تو دور کی بات روز مرہ کی ضروریات پوری کرنے کیلئے بھی پانی نہیں مل رہا ۔...
Aqeedat Ya Shirk? Insaf Blog by Mohammad Tehseen
آقا صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میری امت شرک نہیں کرے گی۔ جو انسان بھی ایک بار دل سے کلمہ پڑھ لے شرک اس کے دل میں سما ہی نہیں سکتا۔ باقی لوگوں کے اپنے اپنے عقائد اور عقیدتیں ہوتی ہیں لیکن ہمارے لوگوں کو انسان کی بجائے اللہ بننے کا شوق ہوتا ہے اور وہ دوسروں کے کفروایمان کے فیصلے کرنے میں لگے رہتے ہیں۔ جب کوئی انسان اپنے منہ سے کہہ دے کہ وہ یہ عقیدت سے کررہا ہے ناکہ سجدہ تو پھر لوگ کون...
Who is Imran Khan and what does he actually want? Insaf Blog by Sarah
Who is Imran Khan and what does he actually want ? I see a sixty five year old man, addressing to a large crowd. The crowd in thousands, standing shoulder to shoulder in blazing heat, chanting slogans, clapping and listening to him intently. The headlines moving on the red bar at the bottom of the screen call him Imran Khan. Who is Imran Khan I ask myself and what does he want? I see a...
10 Million Children suffering from food shortage and Imran Khan
١کروڑ غذائی قلت کا شکار پاکستانی بچے اور اللہ کے بعد امید صرف و صرف ایک عمران خان! یوں تو عمران خان کی تقریروں میں سے ہمیشہ کچھ الفاظ یا جملے میڈیا سرخیوں کی زینت بنتے ہیں مگر ان کے کچھ جملے جو پاکستان کے مستقبل کے حوالے سے نہایت اہم ہوتے ہیں یکسر نظر انداز کیے جاتے ہیں۔ ان میں ایک جملہ جو عمران خان کے ہر ٹی وی ٹاک شو اور تقریر کا لازمی جز ہوتا ہے وہ ہے : "ہمارے...
5 Revolutionary initiatives of Imran Khan in KPK - Insaf Blog by Ali Taj
عمران نے کے پی کے میں وہ پانچ انقلابی کام کیے ہیں جن کی بنیاد پر آنے والے انتخاب میں ووٹ لینا اس کا حق اور اس کو ووٹ دینا عوام پاکستان کا فرض بھی ہے۔ اس کو ووٹ نہ دے کر مخالف شعبدہ بازوں کو ووٹ دینا شعوری طور پر گدھے کا گوشت کھانے کے مترادف ہے۔ وہ انقلابی اقدامات مستند حوالوں کیساتھ ملاحظہ کریں۔ 1)بااختیار بلدیاتی نظام: کے پی کے کا بلدیاتی نظام سارے صوبوں میں سب سے بہترین ہے' ڈان...
Why I still support Imran Khan | Insaf Blog by Haider Raza
As I have always said we love to focus on the juicy peripherals. Below the belt comments like Pinky peerni, lambasting him for his recent travel on a charter plane for Umrah etc are symptoms of this terrible malaise we all suffer from. Sophisticated bhaands maquerading as anchors with overblown egos are having a field day, having a go at him. One in particular, whom I do...
Want a ticket? Well that requires some doing | Insaf Blog by Afshan
Lots of PTI's old guard are unhappy and discontented with distribution of tickets by the party. They rightly or wrongly feel that they deserve the tickets and their applications have been unfairly rejected. Imran Khan has asked the aggrieved ones to file the petitions and has promised to look into their complaints and redress the injustice if done to anybody. While we...
Praying alone won't help Pakistan | Insaf Blog by Ahmed Jawad
I don’t know why I am convinced that prayers alone are not enough for Pakistan to become a great country. Let me explain why I stand on this point. My Question: Who prayed for Israel, Singapore, South Korea, China, USA, Norway, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands to become great countries? My Answer: Countries are not built by just praying, countries...
Time to support Imran Khan unconditionally - Insaf Blog by Afshan
I contribute my two cents on the current hue and cry raised by many over the distribution of tickets by PTI parliamentary board. Mostly there are no complaints about the ticket allocation in the three educated urban centers i.e Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Most of the complaints come from semi educated cities , towns and low literacy rural areas of Pakistan where electables have been...
Award of tickets - Insaf Blog by Haider Mehdi
Imran knows that these elections are perhaps his last and best chance as a political leader to come into power. Therefore he has to win at all costs to deliver on his promises. I've always maintained that Imran's bigger challenge is not winning the elections, but the subsequent governing of what Dr. Ishrat Hussain calls "Governing the Ungovernable" the title of his must read...
