Assalam o allaikum.
Very dissapointed in Tehmina Daultana. She had no clue of what was being asked of her and how to respond to it. I remembered Sheikh Rashid when he told Kashif Abbasi that let these people (coalition) come in power and then they will find out how media has changed and how quick you have to be to respond to the questions from media.
I guess, his siyasi istikhara has proven right, atleast for Tehmina Daultana.
On the other hand, as speakers, I truly enjoy Khwaja Asif, Khwaja Saad Rafiq, Babar Awan plus a couple of others who are short and to the point and with great comebacks when somebody tries to corner them.

A comment was made above that those who support urdu to be the standard language, why do they not write urdu on this forum. Actually, maybe some of you do not know that the forum does not support urdu text. I had requested admin that urdu support be provided but I guess other stuff kept him busy. Whenever you type something in urdu, it displays question marks. Below is an example.

Two good news:

MQM is crying for ‘Sard Mehri’ (i.e. no ministries) and Mush is getting lonely because no minister was present in a ceremony where he was presiding something under ministry of Science and Technology.

Tehmina daultana needs to understand, the language understood by people is urdu.

Khawaja asif rocks. I think TD may be great party worker, but she may not be a suiatable for cabinet. . I remember RAUF llasara ARTICLE criticizing NS for forgetting TD.

But i think by and large this cabinet is much better than any previous.

Kh, Asif is a good soul, and I am sure due to him PPP/PMLN/ANP coalition will work out its problems for the good of nation.

While Tehmina doltana has no idea what is she talking!

Using English basically cuts out a large swathe of people from the national conversation that is taking place on these public forums (TV shows like LWT etc).

Agreed. in this regard PJ Mir is the worst. He is a wanna be gora. No wonder he was disliked by the pak cricket team at WC2007. Also Focus with Faeza is another program involving a lot of English.

I tend to agree with you on so many points. Sometimes I think if i could ever meet you in person.
Fortunate though I am to read your comments on these frums.
