Adil Najam
I thought the qataa above (from Jang, 23 November 2006) was a nice caption for this photograph printed in most newspapers on the same date. A rough translation of the qataa:
These days Karachi is a sight to see
There is an exhibition of ammunitions that is on (IDEAS 2006)
But, even if it were not, in this country of ours
Has there ever been any shortage of munitions to see
Here is an addition to this post, also from Jang (24 November, 2006):
My very rough translation:
Ammunition production makes it very evident, Shaoor
That we are living in a state of Defence
In reality these are all the instruments of war
But we insist on calling them instruments of defence
Shaukat Aziz should take some tips from Ishratul Ibad who is experienced in going head to head against the Khaki. I still recall the wall chalking of those days by MQM “Crush the corrupt Pakistan Army”.
Shaukat Aziz looking good and the shair is kick ass! Hahahaa
Adil, the first thing that came to my mind is the ‘maula jat’ header that you put on ATP. May be its time to bring it back until this photo post remains current :)
This is a truly revolting photograph. Please note the “chamcha-giri” smiles on Omar Ayub’s and Ibad’s faces.
Poor civilian doesn’t know the consequences of carrying gun against the khakis. He is unaware of the fate of his two predecessors.
