Pakistan ripe for civil revolution
Islamabad: Daily Ausaf, February 20, 2010. Senator Khurshid Ahmad said that ordinary people were suffering from acute food shortage and mounting price rise.

I can face mid-term election: Gilani
Lahore: Daily Ausaf, February 22, 2010. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has asked all public institutions to work within their jurisdictions to strengthen democracy. While addressing a huge gathering assembled on the eve of Hamid Nizami day, he dismissed calls for mid-term elections, terming them as counterproductive.

Afghan Taliban moving to Karachi
Islamabad: Daily Jasarat, February 25, 2010. Members of the Afghan Taliban, including key leaders are increasingly shifting base from Quetta to Karachi.
