Ever since your first appearance in ‘end of time’video’this nation fell in love with you and this love continued for years until our democratically elected government came to power and they steal you from this nation and made you a puppet in an office .Dr sahib,now all channels are barren without you and we dont watching any other pro gramme with so much fervor like you.Will you please come once on screen of Geo and say us Good bye?.
Some sad events are remembered by every nation for whole of their lives. September 11 and 7/7 are prime examples of this in developed world in recent history. But how can one remember such terrifying events if they kept on taking place day after day, month after month and year after year.
It is exactly one year when brute force led by Pervez Musharraf, the bloody army chief ordered to storm the main building of Lal Masjid which was already sealed for last one week. It is hard to estimate the amount of deaths in this sad event but the claim of the principle of school Umme Hassan is terrifying. she said that there were around 2700 girl students present inside the mosque prior to operation but Musharraf just claimed other day that no girl student or women was killed in the operation.According to fact finding mission report of jamate Islami there were more than 4000 girl students killed during operation.
Unfortunately, we are living in a society which is deeply polarized and this polarization is even reached to the depth of our intellectuals and writers as well.In such circumstances,it is very difficult to analyze an event neutrally .As far as the case of Lal Masjid is concerned,it is established now that in this case there was extreme man - handling by both sides.
In fact, the biggest mistake was done by Ghazi brothers .They both failed to visualize the situation and the post 9/11 situation around the world specially against Islam and muslims. Ghazi Abdul Rasheed had done masters in I.R from Quaide azam university but he too failed to understand the basics of any revolution and the result of making state within state.
The students were kept at a distance from whole situation but made to obey their heads and most students were under the age of 15 ,so what can one expect from such innocent students.
The other main participant was Q league under the umbrella of Musharraf and it was fruitless to expect from them to do anything against the wishes of Musharraf .In fact they play their role to getting the situation to worst level.
The need of the day is not to search for the heads of suicide bombers but those who killed innocent children in a mosque.PPP government should make a lagal commission to investigate the whole information and the accused should be brought to justice if this nation is to survive and survive with pride.

In her recent article ,U.S former secretary of state Madelene Al bright has said that dictatorial regimes are still present in the world and are flourishing more than ever before and doctrine of sovereignty is getting the status of a sacred idea.the foremost and hard fact is that in today world of mass communication and democracy the dictatorial regimes are there.
Many diplomats and foreign policy experts believed that after the fall of Berlin war,there will be one system of integration in which there will be no usurper.According to my opinion ,the world community should realize the responsibility and exercise necessary actions so that there will be no massacre on the basis of race,regional and religious basis.
All these actions of America according to Madeline Al bright should be for the cause promoter some basic human values in which justice,human rights and progress are at the top of the list.
On one hand,Al bright says that America should play a role of a sacred force of virtue whereas,on the other hand she undermines the sovereignty of any country which refuses to toe the standards of America.
It is typical devilish approach of American diplomats and statesman throughout history. over last 8 years ,because of unnecessary wars and self-made 9-11 has damaged the reputation of U.S badly.
Presidential election in November this year will determine whether A Americans still choose another crook or a President who truly can withstand the challenges of 21st century.
Last 6 years have seen tremendous boost in our electronic media but let us reexamine what it has achieved over last 6 years.
our media badly need some Senior voices ,voices like ‘Larry King’,'Wolf Blitzer’,O’Reilly.Any channel is distinguished by some senior voices .Our media don’t have such voices at all but the introduction of ”Dr.Shahid Masood” has indeed given some credibility and some literary touch as well.
In the past people like ‘Mustansar Hussain Tarar’,'Ashfaq Ahmed’,and ‘Amjad Islam Amjad’ have hosted number of educational and informative pro grammes but this boom of news media has indeed shadowed these brilliant personalities and writers.
Amidst this scenario,the arrival of Dr.Shahid Masood has indeed made our media alive.His pro grammes are informative and his style is alluring.One feels he does a lot of research for his pro grammes and his behavior is very humanistic and natural and close to the general public.
