Pakistan now has two leading singing political figures, Pervez Musharraf and Shahbaz Sharif. I think they’re both good.
Below is Mush singing while president, in the same hall in which the infamous Abdullah Yousuf danced in a manner that made me want to poke my eyes out. Mush’s artistic debut was first aired on [...]

Sheikh Waqas Akram of the Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) revealed today on the floor of the Punjab Assembly that in 2007 former President Pervez Musharraf ordered the Punjab government to shoot at the motorcade of deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry in Lahore.

Politics makes seemingly strange bedfellows.  But alliances are always based on interests.  
Pervez Musharraf and Asif Zardari called Altaf Hussain to give him props on yesterday’s rally to protest the desecration of Benazir Bhutto’s posters (which was vigorously condemned by Nawaz Sharif several days earlier).
There are also reports that last week Musharraf called Zardari after [...]

“Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is expected to resign Monday and fly into exile in Saudi Arabia, where he is to remain for the next three months, a former aide to the president has told NEWSWEEK on condition of anonymity because of [...]

Highlights:

There is a conspiracy against Pakistan’s state institutions waged by internal and external forces.
The nation and the army are one and inseparable.
National reconciliation is necessary for political stability.
Greatest challenges are terrorism, extremism, and socio-economic.
No announcement of resignation.

The writing is on the wall.  ‘The show is over,’ the graffiti reads.  Despite the statements from Rashid Qureshi and Pervaiz Elahi, I think Pervez Musharraf has read it.  Whether or not he is, in his view, able to come to terms with it is another issue.
Musharraf must have realized the nail had hit [...]

Pakistan’s governing coalition nearly has the sufficient parliamentary votes to remove Pervez Musharraf from the presidency. But meeting the required threshold of 295 votes will involve horse trading with smaller parties and independents, as well as maintaining internal party discipline. Musharraf can use a number of constitutional powers to remain in office. [...]
