Imran Khan no more Prime Minister of Pakistan

Imran Khan, the prime minister of Pakistan for almost four years has been de-seated as a result of no confidence motion by the combined opposition of the country.

His ouster makes him the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no-confidence vote. The combined opposition parties mustered 174 votes in the 342-member house in support of the no-confidence motion, the house speaker said, making it a majority vote.

The people of Pakistan speculate that his "Absolutely Not" answer to USA and his visit to Russia could have been the reason of his ouster as otherwise he was the most honest and upright prime minster of present times.

Pakistan asks world to be "Realistic" about Taliban

Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Mahmud Qureshi has asked the global community to be realistic about the Afghan Taliban and show patience and give time to them to settle down to take stock of the war torn country.

He was of the opinion that the world is rather too impatient to expect much more in just two over a month since withdrawal of NATO forces, leaving behind a shattered and tattered economy and basic infrastructure..

In an interview with the Associated Press, Qureshi asked the world to "Be realistic. Show patience. Engage. And above all, do not isolate. Those are the pillars of an approach emerging in Pakistan to deal with a fledgling Taliban government that is once again running Afghanistan next door.".

Joe Biden moving his suitcases to White House

The race to White House finally ends with Joe Biden moving his suitcases to the White House after ousting the sitting US president Donald Trump with a vast majority of 290:214.

There seemed to be a stale mate after the results were announced as 248:224. And the entire world was watching over the TV screens for a final countdown, not really keeping heir fingers crossed as the trends were in favours of Biden. However, surprisingly, despite Trump's rather erratic behaviour as the president, the elections were almost closely and hotly contested and US citizens showed their love for Trump.

As for the Vice President, it is Kamala Harris, the first woman, and the first black and Asian American, to be vice-president-elect. 

With the new people in the White House, let us hope the decades old unrest crated by US by invading dozens of countries across the world comes to an end and that peace finally prevails.

The exit poll is predicting that the ruling Conservatives would capture 316 seats in the House of Commons, with Labour taking only 239.

Nawaz Sharif Elected Pakistan's Premier for the Third Time

Pakistan's National Assembly has elected Nawaz Sharif as prime minister, a vote widely expected after Mr. Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League won the May 11 general elections. The vote Wednesday marks the first transition of power between two democratically elected civilian governments in the nearly 66-year history of Pakistan. 

Mr. Sharif was Pakistan's prime minister from 1990 until 1993, when he was forced to resign because of allegations of corruption. He returned to the job in 1997, but was toppled by a military coup two years later.

Mr. Sharif said in a speech to the lawmakers that the top priorities of his administration include fixing the country's economy and tackling corruption.

Mr. Sharif also called for an end to the drone strikes used by the U.S. to kill militants in the tribal areas, along the Afghan border. The drone strikes are deeply unpopular among Pakistanis who say the strikes have killed civilians and are an affront to the country's sovereignty.

Uncertain future looms for eurozone

The continuing fragility of the eurozone was revealed by this weekend’s Italian general elections. The surprise success of a comedian, Beppe Grillo, unnerved markets enough that Italian bond yields shot up overnight and depressed the euro’s value. 

European leaders had to come out and make reassuring noises. And this was even before the nature of the new Italian government and its policies was clear. Yet the vote did send a troubling message about the public mood in Europe. The centre-left coalition of Pier Luigi Bersani won a slim majority in the lower house.

The combined vote of Mr Grillo and the conservative candidate, Silvio Berlusconi, however, indicated a troubling majority of Italian voters supported an end to continuing economic austerity. The only candidate who backed the present regime of fiscal prudence was the outgoing Mario Monti and he received barely 10% of the vote.
