The media personnel have gone ecstatic over<br />the current political climate in the country. Each and every single<br />day they sit in their kiosks and start bullying the helpless<br />politicians with their sarcastic remarks. They are the champions of<br />democracy, yet they are the ones trying their utmost to bring about<br />the failure of the government at all costs. They should realise their<br />responsibilities and step back from their role of kingmakers. Please<br />back off and send some positive messages. I have no connection with<br />the PPP; I am a simple and humble citizen who feels threatened that<br />his fellow citizens are in despair due to the media mafia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-18404683689306826482010-10-27T13:37:27.877+05:002010-10-27T13:37:27.877+05:00@AI

Instead, the actress-activist-object of Brad Pitt’s affection grabbed a lightweight field bag and, as she usually does, packed the bare minimum: one Pakistani dress and head cover (to honor local custom); one pair of sturdy boots (for mountain climbing to distribute blankets and food).<br /><br />For the three nights she was in the field, Jolie – who was accompanied by Pitt, then 43, but left kids Maddox, then 4, and Zahara, then 16 months, back in town – was her typical low-maintenance self, sleeping on the frozen ground in a tent shared with three other workers and wearing the same clothes day after day. No hairbrush. No makeup. Not even a toothbrush. “She really blends in and is very unassuming,” says Guenet Guebre-Christos, representative in Pakistan for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, for which Jolie serves as a goodwill ambassador. “She could have passed for any other Pakistani person.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-72073777500167016062010-10-26T10:32:58.506+05:002010-10-26T10:32:58.506+05:00@Anonymous October 25, 2010 9:24 PM

Was the Dogar daughter story promoting a right wing ideology? Was his story on the GHQ awarding enormous amount of land to Fazlur Rehman in DI Khan part of the right wing agenda? The story goes on and on. As for Rauf Klasra, I can only request the Author of this blog, since he knows how to do this: Filter Klasra's stories on the Law Ministry, his deep throat is Babar Awan. THw way he praises awan is disgusting.

Mr. Klasra is opposed to the right wing 'ghairat lobby' (that came into full action when the Kerry Lugar bill was passed) wheras Mr. Ansar and Co are it staunch supporters.<br />Mr. Klasra will be oppsed for his liberal ideas, as long as he stays, by the right wing lobby in Jang group spearheaded by Mr. Ansar Abbasi. Anyone who works in Jang group would know that. Mr. Klasra can't do much about it as the right wing. populist mindset is just too strong in the urdu print media.
