    Pathetic!
    Proves how pessimistic we are.

    Oh and by the way, we publish such things and then insist we do not have freedom of speach. Isn’t this hypocrisy?

    So whats the difference between you and the politicians? and what is wrong in changing party if you see your party’s agenda is not correct, ddnt Quaid-e-Azam do the same when he left congress?
    THINK!

    Instead of “Throne”, better if they titled it National Assembly of Pakistan…in the name of so called Larger National Interest of Pakistan

    Lotons ka Takht,

    Dama dam Mast Qalander, ( nothing to do with MQ)
    Emergency mulk kay ander,
    Jawani jail key ander
    Samosa pett kay ander,
    Benazir Jail kay ander

    Just imagine BB sitting on the Lota Takht ? with tasbih
    on her left hand and samosa on her right = ecstasy !!

    Alvi sahib,

    Please keep us posted on when this piece is also removed from the Art Gallery as the tolerance level of the 65 year old General is very very low now… he is fed up of all the ignorant “awam - masses” who do not understand his wonderful ideas of enlightened moderation.

    They are being taught by the General great lessons; let’s see how quickly these dirty civilians understand what is best for them…as envisioned by the General in the form of puppet assembly, puppet government and now puppet courts.

    Actually the term lota is from “be-paandey ka lota” which means it has no base and rolls from place to place. but these lotas have bases.
    creative art piece but just pointing a symbolic error.
