• Mar21-2017--poor pathetic cricketers...five relatively better cricketers...the five are now on the ECL..sharjeel khan probably the best opener we have at the moment...This when all other crooks ...those involved in the Hajj scam, sharjeel memon--sindhi scam artist, ayyan ali are free to roam about...while the PPP might have made a deal for military courts the cricketers have no such politics...they were not visibly spot fixers..however many suggest at least two of them were fingered by sarfraz ahmed for not following his orders in australia to get out...others suggest that the PCB chairman was bent upon defeating islamabad united who predictably flopped...irfan they say was also fingered by azhar ali for not cooperating...many suggest that the PCB committee wanted to know why irfan scratches his head so much...he said he had a skin problem...!what fixing a bowler can do in four overs is beyond me...!where the cricketers would run off to is also unknown..!
  
• Mar18-2017--In what many blame on the armies weakness in handling the afghan border...JuA militants crossed the border and attacked an FC checkpost in the Thor Mor-Speena Sooka area...six militants killed and two FC sepoys...things had been quite when the border was closed...
  
• Mar18-2017--Farook Sattar the leaders of one faction of the MQM split might actually still be a tout for Altaf Hussein say many...he was arrested last night and released after consultations with the government...who many suggest are willing to let Altaf Hussein back into the country...
  
• Mar18-2017--In what is perhaps the biggest failure of an ISI agent in this country...a Hussein Haqqani interview is being targeted for investigation by a NA committee, the speaker and defence minister...Hussein Haqqani claims that he had stationed in pakistan US special ops and numerous intelligence agents to find Ossama with the approval of the ruling elite...while such matters have been generally been blamed on the army, MI and ISI it has also been blamed on the top leadership of the country who allowed the abbottabad incident without any interference...!Hussain Haqqani has been known tobe associated with the PPP and PMLn's top leadership and has been the ambassador in the US as well the MD of the House BUilding Finance Cooperation which is now probably extinct given the millions that a house needs tobe built with...he had earlier been removed as ambassador and fled the country after he reportedly urged the US administration to help remove the army chief General Kayani...That many had blamed on the than ISI chief who had aspirations to the position...!
