Current Political Scenario in Pakistan

Since March 2007, the tensions in Pakistan have witnessed a significant rising trend. We have seen increased political uncertainty along with the militants’ highest suicide attacks, Benazir Bhutto’s ruthless assassination and Pakistan’ being as probably the most dangerous nation of the world focused in the Times Magazine.
