Not a kind of fact to be proud of really!!! On the contrary, it appears as if the four most influential personnel of the country hailing from one region are clueless to come up with practical solutions to the ills faced by the country, while each position, if not the individual, has its contributions in outrageous increase of these ills over the years.

You the illustrious sons of Potohar, Make us more proud as Pakistanis. Surely you are from my Potohar but I see all of you and myself as Pakistani. Let us join hands and work hard to get rid of poverty.

for once, talk about PAKISTAN and forget about the regional bias!!! regional bias has given us nothing and divided us more and more and will give us nothing in the future so.... move on and be ONE

Dr Manmohan Singh Prime Minister of India is a Potohari also.

Please come out of this regional frame of mind in every news. Irrelevant to Pakistani politics.

no problem. we are one country.

gud.i appereciate ur thoughts.it must be practically in country....

Sanjay Dutt and PM of Malayasia Mahathir Mohammad are also from Potohar (both from Jhelum). What difference does it make? No reason to mark people by their ancestries - focus on what they have accomplished.

Hmmm .. maybe I should move to that region for any possible "opportunistic positions" in the militaty &/or the government..:-). from: An honest citizen applying for a job in civil services

Very True

I don't care where the top leaders come from, as long as they work towards developing the whole of Pakistan. Education, trade, law and order, social services, public administration, infrastructure....seeing progress in those is more more important to me.

Though its by chance that the leading men are belonging to same areas but the important thing is to see which one of them is really doing anything for betterment of country. We are Pakistanis, Urdu, punjabi, sindhi, balochi or pothohari are just self created concepts. Being true Pakistani is the need of hour as we are facing real troubles these days.

Also include Ch. Nisar, Leader of the Opposition in the list please...

Potohar in in North-East of Pakistan!!!

I hope, together, they make unique contribution, in their unique capacity, in the traditions of this region. This region has produced fighters for the armed forces, for centuries, I hope now these men, can contribute the same way to the future of Pakistan, in a broader sense. I see Choudhary Nisar, is also from the same region, it can effect the dynamic of the country for good.

So it was a regional coup after all.

Prime Minister of India Dr Man Mohan Singh is also from the same region. Potohar is ruling the Indian subcontinent

Is there any guarantee that Raja Pervaiz Ashraf will not face the same fate that Gilani faced if Supreme Court wants Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to do what Gilani did not do?

The Constitution of Pakistan reads as follows: 248. Protection to President, Governor, Minister, etc. (1) The President, a Governor, the Prime Minister, a Federal Minister, a Minister of State, the Chief Minister and a Provincial Minister shall not he answerable to any court for the exercise of powers and performance of functions of their respective offices or for any act done or purported to be done in the exercise of those powers and performance of those functions: Provided that nothing in this clause shall be construed as restricting the right of any person to bring appropriate proceedings against the Federation or a Province. The fact is whatever Ex Prime Minister Gilani did or did not do, he did or did not do as a Prime Minister of Pakistan and not as a private citizen of Pakistan. Why the government lawyers did not submit this fact to the Supreme Court and plead to the Supreme Court to leave him alone? I hope if the same drama is repeated during the period of Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, the government lawyers will perform their job in accordance with provision in the constitution.

Does it really matter where these "super men" come from?

it means that potoharis are clever in carving out positions for themselves but not wise to handle the situation of the country
