Not a U-turn - Insaf Blog by Sarah Ahmed
Since when is a Right Turn a U-Turn? I can see social media platforms and news channels debating about Imran Khan’s change of choice regarding the caretaker. The elections are near and quite literally, the heat of it and the scorching sun can be felt. Let us take a step back and end the sudden “U-Turn” debate that has taken the media and its people by storm. The system says that the...

A Health Care Revolution- Insaf blog by Anila Khwaja
If there’s one institution that more than any other defines a post-colonial, progressive and egalitarianism Britain, it’s the UK National Health Service.

This state facility more than any other reinforced the very idea of social...
Mujhay kiyon Nikala - Insaf Blog by Brig Samson Simon Sharaf
In Pakistan’s street cricket, the boy who owns the bat calls all shots. He is captain, batsman, bowler and umpire; all in one. Pakistan’s disqualified prime minister played his street cricket on Nisbat Road Lahore as all in one. This innate childhood characteristic continues to frame Nawaz Sharif’s present disposition and his cricket with Pakistan’s future. According to Syed Jawaid...

Blame the Human heart - Insaf Blog by Salman Ali Khan
Since September 11th 2001, the world has witnessed a phenomenal increase in Islamophobia and with it neo-atheism.

The proponents of this ideology believe that everything which has no scientific reason or proof should be...
Stop comparing Nawaz Sharif to Jahangir Tareen - By Majeed Lashari
Both Nawaz Sharif and Jahangir Tareen are undeniably ‘mammoth political entities’. However, the dissimilarities in their characteristics are manifest. Accountability must be across the board, but the media’s viciously synonymous treatment of ‘both entities’, since being disqualified under Article 62(1)(F), is an unfair presumption which will be robustly rebutted through an in-depth and holistic...

Another political suicide attempt-Insaf Blog by Sarah Ahmed
When I was twelve, I was playing a game of ludo with my cousin. Minute after minute, her ludo pieces were being killed. Frustrated, she threw the board and started weeping. It was fairly obvious that she got two things out of doing so ; one, she did it to get the matter addressed by my mother who was in the kitchen, two, she did it to make sure that none of us could play because she was a...
