Credits for photos belong to Pervaiz Munir Alvi saheb. He took the photos on his recent trip to Pakistan and graciously shared them with me. The location is the Grand Trunk (now called highway N5) in Punjab.
While we have discussed Declaration of Emergency, Chronology of a Meltdown, mis-treatment of Imran Khan in recent past, one topic that got missed is what’s Benazir Bhutto up to these days? We would like to hear from our readers. Today, on my drive back from office, I was listening to Imran Khan’s interview on National Public Radio (NPR). On a question of joining forces with Benazir, Imran Khan replied:
“We would love to join Benazir, except we don’t know whose side she is on today….There is a big mistrust of each other among opposition parties these days”.
I agree. What do you think? Above photos are in no way ATP’s endorsement to Benazir. They simply reflect a glimpse of our society. In addition to that, I personally enjoyed reading the slogan: “faisla zameer da….”
Imran Khan needs to calm down and relax , No doubt he has good intentions but his delivery of words is very wrong.
Truth is where was Benazir during the Earth Quake in Pakistan? She is worth 3 billion dollars where did she get all that money? Zardari known as Mr 30% , Have we forgotten? Why not write poems on the crimes of these criminals?
Why GEO has not produced one program on the crimes of Bhutto and Zardari????????????????????????????

I do see people supporting Imran Khan yet I fail to see that translating into any meaningful representation in the National or Provincial Assemblies.
I want to ask what is the procedure for overseas Pakistanis to vote, i am sure Imran has a huge vote bank of overseas Pakistanis and we should make sure he gets these votes. I have called Pakistani High commission in canberra and like most Pakistani institutions they are still unaware of any procedures.
I hope I will get a feed back from Pakis in other countries.
Thanks

A large massive party does’t remains massive for ever and smaller party never remains small.Inshallah future is of PTI and Imran is one day will lead our country.
imran has got alot of opportunity to become prime minister of the country via chor darwazee but this man refuse.
if IK want to be minister like Sh rasheed,Sher afghan,wasi zafar,chaudries he can easily grab any portfolio ministry from mush.
What’s common between folks at the forefront of Pakistan and American politics is that both are using terrorism as an excuse to seize power, silence their opponents and trample the constitutional rights of their citizens. It doesn’t matter whether democracy is 200 years old or 20 years old. When you take a closer look, you’ll find a lot of similarities between the master and the monkey.
There is a strange habit among Pakistanis. We have made it a habit to criticize the politicians for every wrong committed under the sun, yet when the same or even more henious crimes are committed by the military, we simply look the other way as nothing happened. We compare politicians with the “angels” and we can’t find any simmilarity among the two, we try to sell the idea as if military dictators are better than the “discredited” politicians. But I think this farce is only done by the upper middle and rich classes, since they really hate democracy since it gives the “kami kamein”, the lower classes the voice, which is so hated by every other upper class.
As for Benazir’s quest for power, what else should she be fighting for? What else do people fight for in the world and what they have fought for through out history, if its not power? So its very stupid for me to say that “All Benazir wants is power”, blah blah blah. What when generals are power hungry and upset the entire applecart just to save their lucrative naukri as Musharraf did in 1999? Was he not power hungry or politicians are of the lesser gods?
