Absolute Fanatic Person with a Sophisticated Mask of Culture & Education. Today, I saw Off the Record Program..7th March 2012. I am an Indian & now I know for sure what is PML -N. 100% Islamic Fascist Party. I am sure Mushraff was right to throw Nawaz Sharif out of Power. These type of Noon/Kaafs should be out of Power. I hope PTI & PPP together will come in Power in Pakistan and MQM supporting them. I pray Pakistani Educated Persons will not come into the traps of PML -N or PML-Q etc. May God save Pakistan from these fanatics. |

I know Ahsan Iqbal from the UET time. It was my first year and Ahsan's final year in UET, when Ahsan got elected as The President of the student union. At that time, we both were in IJT. Later on, Ahsan helped me and a bunch of other students for the migration from UET to NED Karachi. I found him very nice, humble nature, helpful and person. He was a great speaker, decent and sober person.
Having said that, the problem that I see now is, how come a person like Ahsan is managing to exist in Pakistan's highly corrupt and dishonest politics and how come he is part of Muslim League Nawaz. Although, with all sort of allegations Musharaf did to Nawaz Sharif and his party, I still believe, Nawaz Sharif is far.........far less evil than this world's top ranked most corrupt Asif Zardari. The whole world knows that. Today, just because Pakistan has this criminal as the president, the pakistan origin people feel shameful to be called themselves pakistanis and they can not walk straight. What a tragedy for the Quaid's Nation!
Coming back to Ahsan, I wish I could see (in my lifetime), him, my Buddy from Orlando, FL (Haroon Khawaja) and like minded relatively new generation, educated and talented people to lead their own party, get support from young, educated and honest people and play their role to change the obsolete, highly corrupt political system in Pakistan.
That is the kind of role people like Ahsan Iqbal should be playing in the Pakistan's politics. So, please Ahsan, do not waste your talent like this, you could do a lot better. Remember, time is very short..... All the best!! |

i know Ahsan personaly. i don't know much about his past but I have witnessed his present. I have not seen any politician of his calibre. He is the only renowned politician who was on job in KSA. very intelligent, highly educated, humble and true muslim plus he is the man who believes in logics. He is blessed with spirtual goodness too. I wish if he heads a welfare party, a party for public welfare and for pakistan welfare issues. Pakistan zindabad |
