| Balochistan ignored : Sanaullah Baloch |
| THE Indus River has unleashed its own ‘terror’ in areas that were normally considered safe from the destruction wrought by humans because of the remoteness of locations. |

| The shame of fake degrees |
| If there were half as many coal pits in Thar as the pits into which Pakistan has been led by its present rulers, the country would lick the power crisis.

| Politicians their own worst enemy |
| If the political class did not get earlier it should do so now. The target of the campaign set in motion last year was not just Asif Zardari. It was the political system as a whole, all in the name of fighting corruption, the slogan with which every road leading to hell has been paved in Pakistan since 1947. |

| Dr Mahathir vs Pakistani leadership |
| Our leadership is a total disgrace not only at home but also abroad. They have trapped the whole nation in total suffering and humiliation. While they are enjoying the pleasures of life, the people are dying of hunger. The public fund which is meant to be spent on public welfare, is misused to bless the favourites and for the luxury of the corrupt and criminal leadership. Now I show you the leadership of another Muslim country, Malaysia. The nations are known as that of their leaders, as we are known by Zardari. |

| Fake degrees — do ends justify the means? |
| University-level academic qualification should not be the only eligibility criteria for elected representatives from the working classes and men and women who are labourers.
Simultaneous prescriptions would be increasing the number of parliamentarians and significantly reducing the sizes of constituencies, which would allow such people to have a chance of rising up without the millions of prerequisite rupees. This will enable an alternative leadership from the poor and marginalised classes and groups to emerge. |

| Dasti and the PM |
| The prime minister, who we all saw a few days ago basking in the glory that is the 18th Amendment, has chosen to be advised on livestock by a man known for talents that may be the envy of all those who want to make it big in this land of wonders by sheer force of character. |

| The froth of Khan |
| What can one say about Imran Khan? A great former cricketer, a compassionate philanthropist … a sorry excuse for a politician. But his continuing forays into bad politics and tactical blunders can be excused, for he is yet to understand that politics is not a game of cricket, and that the democratic election process does not follow the selection policy he enforced as the captain of the Pakistan cricket squad. |

| If Hazrat Umar can be questioned |
| ISLAMABAD: The robust defence now being offered by some constitutional wizards for the immunity enjoyed by President Asif Ali Zardari is precisely similar to the that was advanced by the legal aides of his predecessor Pervez Musharraf in 2007 to protect the dictator’s answerability before Justice Khalilur Rehman-led 13-member bench of the Supreme Court. |

|
| Zardari on the ropes |
 ISLAMABAD: Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari's rule looks tenuous, with growing calls for him to relinquish powers as his government faces a Taliban insurgency and US pressure to help fight militants in Afghanistan. |

| The Need for Good governance for Pakistan : Haider Mehdi |
| There is an emerging conversation on relooking at the current parliamentary system of governance and replace it with a directly elected chief executive at the center and the provinces, not through an electoral college, and have the federal and provincial cabinet members appointed from the populace and not from the upper or lower houses. |
