INTERFERENCE OF FOREIGN AGENCIES IN PAKISTAN

ALI SUKHANVER

Ali SukhanverTraveling to other lands always adds to knowledge. One gets a chance of observing the ways and manners, traits and temperaments and liking and disliking of other nations. Last month, I had an opportunity of being there in Iran as a state guest for about ten days. The occasion was Imam Khomeini’s death anniversary; every year on the eve of this death anniversary, the government of Iran invites foreign delegates from all over the world.

HASINA ENGAGED IN A WAR OF LOVE AND HATRED

ALI SUKHANER

Ali SukhanverReactions count a lot. In December 2013, a Resolution was passed in Pakistan’s National Assembly which condemned the hanging of JI Leader Mullah Abdul Qadir in Bangladesh. This resolution was the reaction of Pakistan. In response to that resolution, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh had crossed all moral and diplomatic limits by saying that there is no Place for Pakistani Friends in Bangladesh but at the same time her government was showering ‘Bangladesh Liberation War Honour Award’ onto some lucky Pakistanis. Sheikh Hasina is a very complex and complicated character in the strange story of love and hatred. Love and hatred are the passions not much different from blindness. Love compels us to ignore and overlook all flaws and demerits of the person we are in love with; while hatred makes us forgetful of all positive and constructive characteristics of the person we hate. That is what we find in the hate and love story of Hasina Wajid with India and Pakistan.Read More »HASINA ENGAGED IN A WAR OF LOVE AND HATRED
