Our army is busy fighting a bitter war against foreign funded terrorists, over 3 million of our people have been made homeless and we’re facing what could potentially be the worst crisis in our history if not dealt with properly. Our politicians on the other hand just cannot grasp the seriousness of the situation.
The Federal Information Minister feels it important to entertain himself with a $15,000 lapdance from an Indian hooker while on a begging round. Is begging that stressful? Maybe he should learn something off his President who doesn’t seem to mind it at all.
We are officially launching PKKH’s Aid Project for our brothers and sisters made homeless due to the ongoing war against TTP Terrorists in Pakistan’s north-west, and we require your generous assistance. Following shows some clips of our last trip to Mardan’s outskirts to carry out relief work in the region. A majority of those who have migrated the war zone, and were unable to find their way to the camps set up by NGOs and Govt. agencies, took refuge in houses, schools, madrassahs and masaajid in the areas adjoining the Malakand division. Some of the villages we went to include Toru, M Wali Kali, M Haji Kali, Khazana Deri, Sowaryaan, Kala Khel and a few others.

Just saw this image published at a cricketing website with the caption:
‘Homeless children play cricket after being displaced by the Taliban, Swabi, Pakistan.’
I say, while in Pakistan, they are not homeless.They are displaced from warm holdings of a house to harsh surroundings. Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs). They are not homeless because Pakistan is their home. And ours.
This column shows the rising backlash within Pakistan’s middle class against the country’s American puppet rulers.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—When the October 2005 earthquake shook our world, the then American ambassador Ryan Crocker planned taking charge of relief efforts. He convinced the Musharraf government that the Americans were the best thing that could happen to Pakistan at their time of need! ‘We can do a better job than the Pakistanis’ was his loud message. Crocker and his team of army men landed at the PM Secretariat to set up their disaster management headquarters. “Big beefy colonels toting their cell phones and walkie-talkies roamed the corridors barking orders at us,” an eyewitness tells me. “We were running like scared chickens trying not to get trampled.”
Pakistani television commentators and anchors are acting like a herd of sheep.
Half a million Pakistanis are homeless. Our media calls them “Internally Displaced Persons” [IDPs] or “tribal refugees”, as if they are some ‘thing’ and not our fellow citizens.
We Pakistanis must not let the U.S. and British media numb us into using such terms about our own people. The mistakes of the American and British occupation commanders and soldiers in Afghanistan have led to tragedies in our entire western region. If you can, telephone and email these newspapers and TV anchors. Tell them that you are offended as a Pakistani when they call the Pakistanis in our tribal belt as ‘IDPs’ or ‘Pashtun refugees’. Tell them they must be called ‘Pakistanis in our tribal belt.’
Let’s not compromise on showing compassion to those Pakistanis whose lives have been destroyed because of America’s cruel and unjust war. | Ahmed Quraishi’s Lounge
