Dear Friends, my student Rehmatullah Idreesi is participating in IMMAF World Championships Amateur MMA as part of Pakistani team. I taught him Taekwondo and he has been my best student. Please pray for his & Pakistani team's success.
World Bank's report:

After glancing through the report on South Asia's Economic prospects and forecast by World Bank, I have some thoughts to share:

Just saw live interview of Shah Mehmood Qureshi on TV. He said that the "Azadi Container" will travel to various cities in Punjab and then go to Sindh.
He did not say anything about dharna, but I suppose this would effectively end this idiocy and faux pas by PTI. The strategy seems to be that...

I think we need to recognize the steady contribution of PITB in:
1. Developing solutions for issues related to improved governance - (Dengue control, Flood info, Law & Order info, etc....)
2. Interaction with IT University and its students & graduateds.
3. Supporting development of IT via its...

Chinese prez's security team gets OK frm Army high command and govt.
1. No more Dharna.
2. No threat of Martial Law.
3. Indirect Support from China to current government, if the visit takes place.
4. IK must accept some sort of face-saver before Qadri's PAT...
PTI’s mammoth rally in Oct 2011 at Lahore was a welcome surprise for many. I was among those who were filled with hope. I could see that we have a credible alternative to politics of corruption, dynasties, narrow self-interests, and regionalism. I happily congratulated myself and anyone with...
Who is feeding 20K people every day? From where does this money come? It must cost about 5 million rupees daily. This has been going on for the past 16 days. So from where does this money come from? Any guesses?
How long can this be kept up?

I've read the JIT report.
The heart of the report are pages 26-29. Where they share their findings. Nobody is talking about what is written therein.
Any one can see how Punjab Government is actually responsible. But at what level? The way the report has been written, it is apparent that the...
A requisition for a No-Confidence Motion against KPK Chief Minister Pervez Khatak has been made in KPK Assembly.
Their may or may not be time to save KPK government. If it is a direct movement from PML-N, then one can say that NS is playing on front foot. If other players have been thrust...

He does it again. Another faux-pas. What will BJP do? Defend it?
I can not count how many times I have heard the argument that Muslims are descendants of invaders and of people converted under...
TV Channels are reporting that Javed Hashmi has quit the so-called Azadi march and returned to Multan.
He seemed uncomfortable within PTI. I was expecting him to either make his presence felt in PTI, or quit.
Now that it is pretty much settled that Imran Khan has resolved to escalate the current situation to a crisis point. It would be worthwhile to study the recent events that took place in Bangkok, starting from Nov 2013 and culminating in May 2014 Military Coup.
The vicissitudes of Thailand's...
I do believe Imran Khan had been angling for threat of mass-scale agitation for quite some time. He has created a pretext in hearts and minds of die-hard PTI supporters, if not in actual fact. Perception rules, not facts. I've seen a number of PTI supporters and they are just as much in thrall...
Zionism is the basis for the state of Israel, and for a many years a right-wing government has been running Israel. Therefore, it is not surprising that Right-wing Religious Zionist views would inform, encourage, and abet Israeli actions.
