issues political democracy
Political disagreements have the colour and fragrance that normally is seen and felt in a political bouquet, while remaining united on one issue that democracy is the future of Pakistan.
jail dying president
What can I do if everyone from the president to a junior bureaucrat is dying to convict me. If I am such a criminal, what was I doing outside jail before my marriage to Benazir?
acts address against allow assured concerns india leads pakistan territory
Pakistan has assured that it would not allow its territory to be used against India for any acts of terror. India must also reciprocate and address our concerns which are very genuine. Dialogue is the only way forward. Absence of dialogue leads to tension.
courts dependent difficult food including jail prison
As an independent person, I find it difficult being dependent for everything, for even my food and medicine, to the prison authorities. I have had to fight through the courts for everything, including even physiotherapy, which is my right under the jail manual.
prison time
I have done prison time for 13 years without any conviction.
war expression democracy
Democracies do not go to war. War is not our expression of thought.
adversity wife parks
I studied in Britain and spent great moments of my life there as a student living in Belsize Park. I admire the British trait of the stiff upper lip in the face of adversity. My wife studied in Britain, too, and both of us have many friends there.
bigger terrorist journalist
Journalists are bigger terrorists than terrorists themselves.
records behinds
One comes, and one goes. Basically, what you leave behind is the record.
book government actors
Hamid Gul is an actor who is definitely not in our good books. Hamid Gul is somebody who was never appreciated by our government.
responsibility soil
Anybody from my soil is my responsibility.
india-and-pakistan forever looking-forward
I am looking forward and I am hoping that I will be the catalyst that makes India and Pakistan live for peace forever.
pakistan terrorism evolve
I've always maintained terrorism passes through Pakistan, it doesn't evolve in Pakistan.
party thinking vacuums
I still don't think like that. Because of Benazir, nobody else [in her party] was thinking about leadership. This position comes about only because of the vacuum that was created with her death.
