Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

For Pakistan and Majority of Pakistanies, this is a bad news.
Democracy is not a bad way to govern but democracy is the worse one if you do not have right people in power.
Did someone check Zardari’s profile on Wikipedia? it lists all his cases, he openly asked for 10% commission from france and poland. It is an insult that our president is a thug.
I wonder why media is not showing a documentary about his cases!
At least Musharaf read the oath correctly; Zardari couldn
There is much difference between the two. The two pictures speak different stories. If someone thinks that time has changed for the better, he will regret his words in near future. He who thinks that Pervez Musharraf did nothing for the country and was only a symbol of dictatorship will regret it all the more.
Zardari has played his cards well. Six months have passed and we have not seen any attention from government for the basic problems being faced by the people. To them the only solution is to increase prices.
In our neighboring India, prices of petrol and gas have been reduced twice in a short span of time to pass on the benefit of decreasing international prices to the people. In our country, the finance minister says that petrol prices would not be decreased at all. Power charges have been increased by 40 per cent despite the fact that we do not get electricity for more than 8 hours daily. Prices of essential commodities are rising almost daily.
What would we do with this democracy where the people are groaning under its heavy yoke.
Very interesting pictures. Yes, times do change. I think for the better. Interesting also to see Soomro sitting next to each in teh small pictures. Is Soomro the new Waseem Sajjad?
