Though a welcome news that the govt. has overruled the increase in the prices of fuel suggested by OGRA yet, it put me to thinking as to what the heck these Regulatory Authorities are doing in Pakistan? Don’t they make their recommendations after taking all pros and cons into consideration in the best interest of Pakistan that the govt (read PM) just overrules them ostensibly in the public interes

Today, Turkey is facing three major problems and though it employs diplomatic skills to cater for the redressal of those problems, it has not been able to overcome the obstacles. The three issues the former Ottoman Empire is facing are: one, its EU membership efforts against which many European countries raise opposition, making Istanbul’s entry into the European parliament as a legitimate Europea

I propose that the under construction border gate at Torkham be named “Changezi Gate” after the valiant brave Major Ali Jawwad Changezi Shaheed to commemorate and immortalize his Shahadat that would also serve as a bitter reminder to the Afghans across of the immense bravery and sacrifice of the Shaheed for his country.

Look at the Machiavellian twist the Kurram Agency Political Clerk has so artistically given to a murderous attempt by his son(s) to the firing in self defence on the other party who were according to him trying to kidnap him! Well done the political clerk, but does he think that all those watching the live tv video of the naked incident are fools to fall in to his trap. Agreed a couple of crores

I was just wondering as to who forecasts and tabulates the Sehr and Iftar timings with that precision for each day of the month and for all major and minor cities of Pakistan that are printed on various calendars, newspapers and magazines in advance by a few days before the start of Ramazan? Not only that but throughout the year the precise timings for the five prayers are also forecast in the sa

A lot is being said and done on both sides of the Durand Line by the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the latest being the construction of the Changezi Gate at Torkham. Unfortunately, all such traffic and migratory regulatory steps taken between the two neighbouring countries are causing more of acrimony than harmony between them. Immediately after the creation of Pakistan a bogey of Pusht

Nearly all our tv channels, and by the grace of Allah there is no dearth of them , are telecasting Ramazan special shows such as “Rooh e Ramazan”, “Raunaq e Ramazan”, “Shan e Ramazan”, “Rehmat e Ramazan”, “Ishq e Ramazan”, “Pak Ramazan”, et al. All claim to be highly “rooh parwar”, but to me some of them are competing for the mad rating rat race amongst themselves by turning their programmes whi

It would be ungrateful on the part of the pensioners not to thank the govt. for the 10% and 25% relief offered to them. In these hard days of high inflation and sky rocketing prices any respite big or small is more than welcome. However, it was pathetic to see long queues of old men and women standing for hours in the sizzling sun without shade and water at the bank windows waiting helplessly for
