| The installed capacity in Pakistan is about equal to the demand of electricity and yet load shedding of electricity and also of gas is becoming worse by the day. Why?

| After half of a century of the military rule, martial laws, broken dreams of democracy and freedom, dismantled public institutions and continued disconnected governance by thugs and crime riddled people like Zardari and his gangsters, how should the world view the Pakistani nation – its moral norms, political culture and integrity?

| Good development experts have failed to get across a basic truth to Pakistan’s politicians and economic planners:  If you are on a dirt road, fill the ruts – don’t dream of bullet trains and flyovers!  One has to get the basics right before anything else can work.

Within this world is a country Pakistan by name that is running a backward race forgetting all obligations to humanity. The country which came into existence in the name of Islam; everything is for sale there- from intoxicants to bodies, economically chained and crushed maidenhood to conscience

| Amidst the hullabaloo of election campaign when all eyes were focused on the outcome of May 11 election results, Dr Fahad Rafique Dogar came out with a bloomer. His article titled ‘Curriculum reform’ in ‘The News’ dated May 9, 2013 was out of place with no relevance to the overall environment.
