NOVANEWS Sohail Parwaz: A Three No-Trump to the Three Idiots August 6, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba   Three No Trump Hand in Bridge By: Sohail Parwaz It has become a fashion to talk about the fate and fortune of Pakistan every now and then and every here and there. Ever since the genesis of this land of crisis the ‘well wishers’ have a lost sleep for it. The ‘earnest’ aficionado is Pakistan’s neighbour India who started dreaming about its dismemberment from the day one, followed by a flock of Odysseuses from the West, the pseudo think tanks and the intellectuals. Balkanizing Pakistan isn’t a new idea at all. Those who really know that how dominating, dictating and tenable the existence of Pakistan is, have a reason to have a lost sleep. Many of them are still in their trainee diapers yet they cl...

NOVANEWS by Narinder Kumar Jeet Punjab - Democratic mobilization resists police onslaught on activists Rajeesh | August 2, 2010 | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pglpM-1RE Source: Sanhati August 01, 2010 Now-a-days, the Punjab Police is too much pre-occupied with Naxalite-phobia. Some months ago the DGP himself came out with an extremely irresponsible statement, branding the 17 mass organizations of farmers and agri-labour as front organizations of the Naxalites/Maoists, because they have been consistently fighting against the anti-people and anti-national policies of the rulers. The police arrested Surjit Singh Phul, President of Bharti Kisan Union (Krantikari), subjected him to severe torture at the Joint Interrogation Center Amritsar and slapped on him a case unde...

NOVANEWS Pakistan’s Infatuation with the F-16s: Dreams & Realities July 6, 2010 by Michael Leon   Falcon F-16 By Raja Mujtaba The 1971 Indo-Pak War was over and the Pakistan Air Force did not perform as well as in the 1965 war with India. The American technology which our brave pilots and engineers had absorbed and put to its maximum performance in the previous war let us down in the 71 War. The Korean vintage F-86 Sabers, F104 Star Fighters and B-57 Bombers along with their Missiles and Avionics Suites had out-stretched their operational lives and were now lingering along in our inventories to be counted in numbers. All the smart alecks on the payroll of the PAF in the mid 1970s were collected in the Operations Research Directorate at Air Headquarters to identify the needs of the PA...
