Pakistan always play well in England.
There’s a lot of information on Iran in the files and computer discs captured at the Pakistan hideout of Osama bin Laden.

If we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor.
Pakistan will never be able to match the Indian militarily, and the effort to do so is taking an immense toll on the society.

People should learn more about Malala and about her life in Pakistan.

The growing reach of Coke Studio Pakistan is mostly evident in the Middle East and the sub continent but with the passage of time it is rising across Asia as well as the west.

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives to terrorist attacks inside Pakistan, and thousands more will – because, unlike the Pakistani government, which has no coherent policy to deal with the radicals, the Taliban have one to deal with Pakistan and its citizens.

Pakistan has always supported other countries by touring.
I have to say that I have developed a real passion for Pakistan cricket.
The lack of ‘quality’ films in Pakistan was one of the reasons why I stayed away.

I decided in ’96 to dedicate my life to mostly promoting literacy and education for girls in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.
A lot of the Indian supporters would have been born in Birmingham, have Birmingham accents. It is my home city as well. Second, third generations from the sub-continent still support India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
It’s very easy, if you come from a place like Pakistan, to imagine that there’s a narrative of American aggression towards the place that you come from. But that, in itself, is just a political view.
My message to the people and rulers of Pakistan is, ‘As neighbours, we want peace and friendship and cooperation with you so that together we can change the face of South Asia.’
I’m not interested in getting a seat in parliament. Only if I feel that I can bring some change to the lives of people in Pakistan, I might consider joining a party.

Pakistan and its associates find it difficult to understand that there are no ‘good terrorists and bad terrorists.’
Pakistan is my home; I don’t want to feel harassed in my own home.
Pakistan has accepted some security training from the CIA, but U.S. export restrictions and Pakistani suspicions have prevented the two countries from sharing the most sophisticated technology for safeguarding nuclear components.

No one wants to friend or follow covert info about Pakistan’s nuclear policy.
The thing that’s very puzzling to somebody who’s been in Pakistan repeatedly since 1983 is lots of people live in compounds with high walls in Pakistan. I mean, that’s so completely routine. In fact, you know, it would be un-routine to have the reverse.
As far as Iraq, the important thing is that the Taliban is gone in Afghanistan, three-quarters of the al-Qaida leadership is either dead or in jail, and we now have Saudi Arabia working with us, Pakistan working with us.
People think of me as well-travelled, but I had not been out of Pakistan until I was picked in the Under-19 squad in 1997. The flight went from Lahore to Karachi and then from Karachi to South Africa. It was my first time on a plane and my first trip overseas.
In 1986, Pakistan got the blasphemy law. So, while we had just two cases of blasphemy before that year, now we have thousands. It shows that one should be careful while bringing religion into legislation, because the law itself can become an instrument of persecution.
I am in love with Pakistan.
We are committed to the development of friendship and good neighbourly relations with Pakistan. I believe that Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto shares this commitment.
Political disagreements have the colour and fragrance that normally is seen and felt in a political bouquet, while remaining united on one issue that democracy is the future of Pakistan.
For us, the death of Osama bin Laden is a time of profound reflection. With his death, we remember and mourn all the lives lost on September 11. We remember and mourn all the lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. We remember and mourn the death of our soldiers.

Pakistan destroyed its own reputation. If anything, I have improved Pakistan’s image.
I am the sole example of what the IRCA has done for Pakistan cricket.
The people who illegally cross into the country are from countries that have very close ties to al Qaeda, whether it’s Yemen or Afghanistan, Pakistan, China. It is an absolute national disgrace.
My parents were from Punjab, in Pakistan. We had land there which were reallocated after partition. So I belong to that area which got divided and suffered.
Pakistan doesn’t value its artistes. I will get trolled for what I have said, but that is the reality. It is unfortunate.

I love Pakistan so I will definitely use all my experience to inspire this team.
When I was little, I grew up in a place called Hertfordshire, which is just near London, but out in the country, and I visited Pakistan in the summers to go and see my family on my dad’s side.
I found that a whole series of people opposed me simply on the grounds that I was a woman. The clerics took to the mosque saying that Pakistan had thrown itself outside the Muslim world and the Muslim umar by voting for a woman, that a woman had usurped a man’s place in the Islamic society.
Government better be on its toes. I have been warning them for a long time that Pakistan is trying to infiltrate the borders. Their weapons are coming in.

We grew up in a nice house in a very middle-class area in Bolton and had a very happy childhood. My mum, Falak, who was also brought over from Pakistan by her parents as a kid, devoted herself to bringing up me and my younger brother and sister, Haroon and Tabinda, and my elder sister Mariyah.
From a social networking point of view, Pakistan is not very far away.
