<b>Only in Pakistan</b>
We hear Nawab Akbar Bugtiâs 82 year old wife has been put on the Exit Control List. The ailing lady is bed-ridden and finds it difficult to go from one room to the next without help. This fact has not prevented the agencies from declaring the octogenarian lady a terrorist and a member of the Balochistan Liberation Army. Only in Pakistan â¦
<b>Black magic</b>
The practise of black magic appears to be thriving in Pakistanâs highest income urban areas. One well-known Karachi socialite was spied by surveillance cameras at a rivalâs gate dropping off a decapitated black ram (proverbial kala bakra) and a sprinkling of seeds. Pandemonium ensued, especially since the victim succumbed to a serious illness soon thereafter.
<b>Rape expert madrassa nazim</b>
According to Khabrain administrator of a religious seminary in Sharaqpur, Maulvi Ismail, raped a local married schoolteacher, then made pornographic pictures of her and blackmailed her into giving him money and having more sex with him. When her father in law registered a case against him he attacked him with a gun and ordered that she be divorced so that he could marry her. When the police went to arrest him he attacked the police and tore their uniforms. In his madrassa the police discovered blue films and other nude pictures. Local people reported that Ismail had raped many girls before and was once had his face blackened and paraded on a donkey. There was a case against him in court but he had the support of the police and remained at large also because of religion.
<b>Hold on to half democracy!</b>
Writing in Jang Nazeer Naji observed that dhaandli was a permanent feature of Pakistani elections, but the fact was that always one party won while the other was subjected to dhaandli. In other words no politician in Pakistan accepted defeat gracefully after being beaten in elections. Yet bad democracy was better than military dictatorship and no democracy at all. What the opposition had under Musharraf was bad democracy but they could lose even that while fighting for full democracy.
