Re: By their mantra of ‘Change’ politicians mean status quo
One thing that the free media in Pakistan has made amazingly simple is the way it has divided itself politically, making it easier for people to read a newspaper for specifically pro and against news. For instance, if you hate PTI, read Dawn and ET or watch Live With Talat. They will never disappoint you. If you hate Noon League, watch Khara Sach or Sawal Ye Hey. And if you love the Noon Camp and want to hear that the country is already in the Top 3 list of progressed countries, watch Aaj Kamran Khan Ke Saath.
Whether someone joins PTI or leaves it, it always become an earth-shattering news worldwide. People come complaining about how the Imran devastated the country first, and now stands devastated himself. A storm of criticism has been kicked off on Randhava's resignation from the party. And I am sure if he ever rejoins the PTI, the storm would still be equally ferocious.
I would not even tell those people to grow up. Let them live in their paradise of bias.
PTI bias or not, Dawn is genuinely a rubbish newspaper, in my opinion. Their coverage of local news is nonexistent, I sometimes want to go on to their website and find out some useful updates about Lahore and annoyingly there's nothing. If you rely on Dawn's reporting on Lahore, you'd think the place is some desolate village not the darling, fast changing, fast moving City. It's daily, they'd add one or two news item under each Province heading and assume the people have seen it all. The newspaper cannot seeem to look beyond its seemingly adolescent desire to shock. There is no such thing as detailed, analytical reporting on any major issues, no economic expert analysis, no rational critique of any legislation, policy or proposal, no active campaigning for any cause. You basically just go there to read some blogs by internee/freelance hippie writers who are usually quite tired of life in general.
So much pessimism, despair, cynicism, self pitting sorrow, pseudo- intellectualism you see on that website. It's torturous.

My friend, if a newspaper purposely mistakes PTI with Talibans a few times then you know they have an agenda. Pakistani media favouring certain political parties is as much a secret as Pakistani police being corrupt.
PTI progress in KPK could be termed slow but it depends what people think of "progress". There are numerous updates about reforms PTI is trying to bring, such change won't be visible overnight. Had they built a couple of massive bridges though, most people would have been happy with 'CHANGE" but we know that would change nothing.
You would think that people would be more concerned about Obama miserably failing fulfill his promise of 'Change' despite being in his second term than chastising a nine month old totally newbie Provincial government. Oh dear...
Anyway. This is how legislative democracy works. PTI is building a lasting administrative, functional foundation in KPK, that is the change, It's been just over nine months and so far they have been on the track. The ambitious projects they have signed will take maximum of one to two and even three years to complete. Its unfortunate that we don't get many people from KPK and FATA posting here and sharing their experiences. Our only source of news is sorry papers like Dawn.
In all honesty, skeptics who didn't even believe in PTI's mantra of change to begin with should be the last one pretending to care about it. Such people should tell themselves that PTI was destined to fail and it is failing, so end of story and just be happy. Let the concerned citizens and well wishers of Pakistan appreciate the much needed reforms taking place in education, police, environment, health, energy etc.
If anyone gets any pleasure by calling PTI supporters Jiyalas then allow them. Who cares? At least I don't. Cannot be bothered to take offence in such things.

That was not the 'jurm'. He fulfilled his promise he made before wining the elections. It was one of the top agenda in first PPP campaign. He was the only leader who fulfilled his promises, no one before and none after him ever did the same thing.
so calling Bengalis 'soor ki aulad' was also election promise?
