The Govt. agency PEMRA refused to give the TV channel rights to broadcast from Pakistan. Carrying a full TV staff and no revenue the Dawn group must be bleeding financially.<BR/><BR/>Credit must be given to the editor for not buckling down. As for my comments last year - I still believe, given the circumstances, they were justified at that time. I am of course mightily pleased with the change in attitude.

Last year in October or was it September the editor of Dawn was being lambasted for having met Musharraf. But can anyone criticise his policy now. Hardly, given that Dawn is the only paper that seems to be consistent in its editorial policy. Can I detect a hint on contrition in Onlooker now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219873.post-6433693032637753032007-03-16T20:02:00.000-07:002007-03-16T20:02:00.000-07:00Anything short of a mass uprising by the people wi...Anything short of a mass uprising by the people will end in Pakistan becoming weaker and weaker.....then its just a matter of time before we cease being.<BR/><BR/>AASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219873.post-40286837829026590052007-03-16T17:38:00.000-07:002007-03-16T17:38:00.000-07:00Onlooker, mountainman: More power to you people.

The Geo incidents, first Kamran Khan's program and then this other incident, are particularly remarkable because Jang Group had taken a staunchly pro-Musharraf line in the past few years. This of course makes people like us happy, but do you have a lingering suspicion that there are some invisible forces also supporting the current anti-Generalissmo moves? I mean I for one believe that Kamran Khan is very much a man of our ubiquitous agencies and him going against the government line does ring a bell. In any case, this is a mere afterthought and I am quiet pleased that our rulers are spending some sleepless nights pondering how to "defend" their fortress in Islamabad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219873.post-4497129787651442122007-03-16T06:40:00.000-07:002007-03-16T06:40:00.000-07:00Your blog titled 'Chief Justice of Pakistan' has a...Your blog titled 'Chief Justice of Pakistan' has an image :<BR/><BR/>http://www.scp50.gov.pk/Image3.jpg<BR/>of size 648.74 KB<BR/><BR/>A v. humble suggestion from me, an avid reader of your blog is - can this image possibly be replaced with something smaller in size so that your page is easier to load?
