Adil Najam
Urdu columnist Hasan Nisar is known for his outspoken view. He can sometimes be a loose canon, but whether you agree with him or not (and I do not as often as I do) he makes you think. He certainly does that in this outburst on a TV talk show (this is an old recording, but I do not know from exactly when).
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
Very powerful stuff. He is saying what so many of us are thinking.
Thank yo ATP for posting this. We need to pass this one around and make people start thinking rather than just pointing fingers.
Although Mr. Nisar makes some valid points about introspection, there are unignorable pointers to the involvement of RAW and CIA towards the development of the likes of Taliban and the BLA.
Although I agree that by addressing social injustices and lawlessness in Swat and Balochistan (and indeed the rest of the country) we need to take away the fuel from the fire, overlooking the hands that light the fire would be a very grave mistake.
Great words of wisdom. Thanks for this post Adil.
I have been extremely disturbed by this audio and I urge you to bring this to light. I know the content is set to spoil ones breakfast, but this should be shared.
Leaves one wondering, who will watch the watchdog?
