Former President Pervaiz Musharraf while addressing a gathering of spectators at the

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has decided to take the people into confidence on national and international affairs by addressing the nation on radio on the first Friday of every month. Let's not rub salt into the wounds of the already distressed people every month by wasting time on cosmetic exercises.

We all know Shahrukh Khan and his religion which is Islam and his open-ness to the religions around him. Unfortunately he has been back fired for every comment he uttered for Islam.

All the peace and harmony over the last couple of months was nice.  But that’s history now, as it ended at 8:15 am Monday morning, as a powerful car bomb holding almost 800 kilograms of explosives struck a law enforcement building in Model Town.
