FAISALABAD: 

MNA Nisar Ahmad Jatt on Thursday said that Provincial Minister for Law Rana Sanaullah should apologise for what he said about Pakhtuns in connection with an army operation in the tribal areas.

Talking to The Express Tribune, Jatt said all Pakhtoons were neither miscreants nor terrorists.

“They [Pakhtuns] are hardworking… they come to the Punjab in search of a better livelihood… they also have good business relations with traders in the province.”

Jatt said Pakhtuns were an asset to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has chosen a peaceful way to overcome terrorism… He has given peace talks another chance so that law and order can be maintained without bloodshed,” he added.

“The entire nation is behind the prime minister’s decision… the law minister should take back his statement.”

“The peaceful talks are imperative for maintenance of law and order in the country… Pakistan cannot bear a full-fledged war,” he added.

During CJ Restoration Movement, this used to be my argument.

1. A dictator throws out 2/3rd majority wala PM, nation keeps sleeping
2. He takes a U turn on Kashmir, nation is asleep
3. He takes a U turn on Afghan Policy, nation is asleep
4. He takes a U turn on policy with India, nation is asleep
5. He kills Bugti, nation stays asleep
6. He orders Laal Mosque operation, nation stays sleeping

and he fiddles with CJ And our so called civil society wakes up all of a sudden? What miracle had happened to transform our society over night?

I claimed at that time that it is a conspiracy against Mushi becaue he was refusing to be a total toy at the hands of US and he had to pay the price. These days he is paying the price of safeguarding nuclear assets of pakistan (actual story of his trial like it happened with Bhutto)

Minister of Railways Saad Rafique has so far done an okay job in getting the railway stabalised however just like his predecessors, ministers like to make claims and repeat things over and over again without anything actually getting done.

We stress to the Minister to PLEASE STOP giving out bogus news - if you have no plan on doing it, then don't tell us. We don't want to hear news about "plans"...when the plan gets official then tell us.

Here is one such example.

On November 10, 2013 the Minister said:
"Land and houses of Railways have been recovered during operation against the land mafia, he added. He said land record of Pakistan Railways would be computerized."

On December 31, 2013 the Minister said:
"Land and houses of Railways have been recovered during operation against the land mafia, and the land record of Pakistan Railways would be computerized".

Now fast forward to January 27, 2014 where the Minister said:
"PR would take the case about the title of PR land in the Council of Common Interest (CCI) after the computerisation of the Railways land which will start within two weeks. No one would be allowed to grab the Railways land but its recovery would take time"
> Source: http://www.nation.com.pk/business/27-Jan-2014/railways-to-get-315-locomotives-in-four-years-says-saad

It's been almost 3 months now and still no work on computerisation of Railway land? Please stop giving out news like this - this is not the 1990s anymore, people are not stupid and gullible. Only give news which is confirmed and being done!

Stop behaving like our previous silly Railway Ministers who promised big things and delivered ZERO. Where are the bullet trains?
