LOL @ Russey hue the
Why does Saad Rafiq look like he’s hiding something? When Hamid Mir is asking him about why they never sat down, he’s acting like has indigestion
ppp is a dodgy party here,
media,civil society,lawyers and apdm should keep an eye on them as their movements are very suspicious
i am just waiting that what new game ppp will play
IMO K. Saad Rafiq is the new breed of Pakistani politicians. He was very clear and concise in his responses. No Bull Sh.. No pontificating of how good he is or his party is. I think he has his priorities right. Otherwise he knows that he is toast. The Pakistani people will not spare him or his government.
I agree with Shafqat Mahmood’s comments about Maulana Diesel. He should not have been recognised in the new setup. He will sabotage and stab the govt in the back.
Sa’ad Rafique should have said:
‘Taking Oath from Musharraf was like sitting in the toilet. You don’t like it - but you have to do it to get rid of dirty stuff’
Excellent Program.
Missing APPP member in the discussion.
Klasra has right to criticize. But some times he was commuication problems.
Saad Rafique rocks. Well done.
Soon Musharraf Ke Yateem will come here and start their rubbish.
Our message to them:
‘Jee Bhar ke ro lo Beta’ ‘Tumhare Rone ke Din Aa Gaye’
@Optimist
mate who will be musharaf’s orphans,pml-q or ppp now
rahman malik’s meeting with attorney general and law minister farooq h naik
zardari’s meetings with mqm who had enjoyed powers for 5 years
ch.ahmad mukhtar,shah mahmood qureshi and rest of ppp’s soft stance towards musharaf due to the bondage of NRO
so who should we call the real orphans,the pml-q or the ppp with new face and same policies and old habits having salman farooqi,siraj shams and hussain haqqani and as new stooges
i am not a pml-n supporter but i like their clear stance even though every one knows that how sincere they are but still they are playing their cards right
this is the reason why ppl like hasan nisar comes on the screen and shows pessimism
ppl had given their vote on 18th feb for change a total change not a change with new faces and old system
That is why I said this:
‘Taking Oath from Musharraf was like sitting in the toilet. You don’t like it - but you have to do it to get rid of dirty stuff’
These meetings could be positive. To give a message to them to accept new reality, maybe to threaten them .
You can’t speculate on air. We have a democratic government. That is enough for us. We need Pakistan to remain democratic forever. We will have problem.
Mush’s Yateem will be those BEGHAIRAT SUPPORTERS who refuse to read the writing on the walls. Its never too late to accept that you were wrong and appologise. Only God knows what is inside your heart.
@kamran.soomro
I guess here Saad Rafq did a little favour to Mush by not disclosing humiliations faced by the dictator in the oath taking ceremony which was delayed for an hour when PMLN ministers refused to stand on Mush’s arrival. PPPs Syed Khursheed Shah did tried to persuade them to stand up at his arrival but the PMLN ministers used another method to resovle the issue they never sat down on the seats. When the bugle was played to announce Mush’s arrival, they were already standing.
Oath-taking ceremony was also threatened when despite a lot of persuasion by Brig (retard) Rashid Qureshi, PMLN ministers refused to remove their black armbands. Mush first declined to administer the oath if PMLNs would-be ministers continued to wear the bands. At last when the dictator was informed that the PMLN members are not in a mood to take off the band at all, he reluctantly decided to administer the oath.
i agree with you but by looking at rahman malik’s record i am not sure to trust these suspicious developments but lets see
i m hopeful that this government might bring some change but first they have to clear their impression that they are not same like the past regime and the only way to do is to create a good impression and strong perception that they are here for change
first impression is last impression
just stop taking any more ppl like rahman malik,salman farooqi and hussain haqani
Don’t worry about that now. Wait and see.
If someone was criticising me this early, I would be really angry. I was telling people something good will come out. But everyone was jumping with every meeting and saying: NS bik gaya, Wo bik gaya, yeh bik gaya.
Now Mush is lame duck and even his lovers will agree that he is million times weaker than last year. So wait.
Don’t expect any quick relief. Having a democracy alone is a big achievement. Indian democracy was given 40 years by Army and then it came out of Nehru dynasty. Give us at least 20 years of permanent democracy.
So many Rehman Malik will come and go. Bad politicians will be out (they will only come back if democratic process is disrupted). They are our leader, and if someone ELSE rejects them on my behalf, my revenge will be to bring them back to show my power.
First impression is only last when you don’t meet that person again. Don’t take phrases at their literal meaning (this phrase was meant as a short cut to impress strangers). Human beings learn and evolve.
well lets say your optimism stay put and up in the air
i am with you,we will share views within 30 days as countdown is already started
For me, having democracy back alone is the biggest achievement.
As far those who want to disagree, then they will say that CJ is back after 30 days, but he has not polished his shoes Or his mustache are not balanced. Or they will not like his eyes. Or why he laughed in front of a kid etc etc….
This is all part of the system. May God strengthen our country. If we have dealt with dictator Mush, we know how to deal with Zardari & NS if they disappoint us (they don’t even have Army Danda with them).
thats what i believe definitely
if that media and civil society had barged off musharaf in his full flow than what are the likes of zardari and nawaz will do
i will be in pak infact may be in isb within 2 weeks and will witnessed the moment if it comes inshallah of cj iftikhar once again reinstating
but i will make sure to get some realy good pain relief with me as this time it will be the police with new faces and mandate and beat the hell out of ppl
Another Excellent Episode …. After a long time !!!
Rauf Kalasara is one of the best journalists after Javed Chaudhary, and he writes regularly in the Daily Jang
K saad looks having indigestion…cuz he was coming straight from….Mush house!
@farhan
Zardari is well aware of the fact that if Mush does not go and the judiciary is not restored in the next 30 days, this coalition will be torn apart. That is why he has secretly made a deal with MQM. PPP will form a coalition with MQM in case PML (N) walks out.
@kamran
zardari is doing very well he is playing his cards right,stop this wait for 28 days aur tumhain jawab mil jayain ga,judges restore ho gain,just look at cabinet ministers sub jails say ayain hain specially prime minister agar us nay game karni hotyee tu woh amin fahim ko prime minister banata.zrardari nay agar musharaf say compromise karna hota tu woh punjab main q leauge ka forward block bana kar govt bana laita.both nawaz and zardari are brave people.
Asif Zardari is playing different game. He is keeping MQM on his side in case he does not honour the Muree accord and chances are he would not mainly because of establishment pressure. Zardari is now an experienced politicians and he does not want to repeat his past mistakes. Both PML-Q and President are unpopular at the moment and voters rejected them in the last election. Establishment supports both and would like to keep them on their side in case Zardari-Sharif accord gets into trouble. Establishment would like to see that happening to get rid of Sharif support for Zardari. We need no confrontation at this stage and politics of revenge and confrontation would be extremely dangerous for the country. Pakistan Zindabad
There’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye. The CIA Director’s statement that UBL is in TA has me worried too. Let’s see what happens.
Rauf Kalasara looks like he is also under PEMRA’s control.His trasmission breaks up during this programme.No offense.HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
lolz …….. those expression from Saad Rafique were hilareous at start
… awesome ………….
when he said … hum to pehlay he kharay thay
that was really a naughty boy’s look.
@Optimist
I cannot comprehend, after going this much forward, doing rallies, issuing press releases and tv statements, and above all Signing Muree Accord in front of nation.
Anyone from AZ and NS can back out. This would be the Suicidal for any party. And I have no doubt that jusges will be restored.
But even if judges are restored, most of us will smell fishy (conspiracies theories have become our nature). And most of PML N supporters are unnecessarily expressing their concerns and targetting against PPP and AZ. The most evident reason to me is that, they are pissed off coz they were expecting PML N to win in elections and that didnt happent. And just to get out their frustration, they are immaturily targeting PPP. This will do nothing but harm the much needed national consensus and coalition of PML N/PMLN/ANP.
ahahhahhaha ais saad Rafeeq nay kia baat kahi… nawaz shareef aur zardari kay hotay hoyeee opposition ki zaroorat nai…… thinking that people of Pakistan are fool.
It is being reported in Urdu media that PPP theory of restoring judiciary is:
PPP wants to keep Doogar as CJ. Judiciary will be restored for a month only and then a law will be passed in NA to cut down the term of CJ of Pakistan to 3 years. This way CJ Iftikhar would be forced to retire on June 4th.
I”m not sure if N will support this idea… but PPP has got nod from Mush on this theory. PPP is double-crossing the entire nation.

PPPP is playing smart….too smart…..The problem for them is that even small children can unveil their “smart” tactics.

——————————————————
Which secret deals he made with MQM? He is tryign to include MQM into government and PMLN is agreed with his plan. Zardari fears that MQM will make Urban Sindh and especially Karachi ungovernable if he keeps MQM out of government, it is better if you throw some bones to them. Judges will be restored there should be no doubt about it.
MQM has not stopped propoganda against PPP
Don’t know what Zardari went to get in Karachi

Rauf Klasara
He is as shallow in his verbal expression as in his columns.
