It was a turmoil that has few parallels in an otherwise strife-torn Karachi, which was a grim reminder of May 12.

In quite an unexpected move, Islamabad got rare support from Turkey, a member-country of the NATO, on the blockade of land route for the allied forces and seeking an apology from the US government over the Salala check-post attack that killed 24 Pakistani troops. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday endorsed Pakistan’s stance, […]

Apparently Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is not missing any opportunity to slash the government, particularly President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani. In his latest remarks, Imran Khan termed President Zardari’s participation in the two-day NATO summit insult of the whole nation, saying that US President Barack […]
