The PM announced setting up of a Flood Relief Fund and directed the federal ministers to donate one month’s salary to it. He also directed all federal government officers in Grade-17 and above to donate one-day salary for the flood victims. While it is a good step and all provincial government should follow suite, my only request to the authorities is that please do make sure that the relief does

The way the loud mouth David Cameron castigated Pakistan and that too on the Indian soil in public, a statesman would not do so even behind the closed doors in the country being targeted by him. But, of course that applies only to a statesman! Obviously his utterances which were to cajole the Indians with an eye on the billion pound future business prospects, especially sale of the fighter aircra

It was really startling to see Gen. Hameed Gul say on a private TV talk show that 70 per cent of Pakistan’s problems will be solved the day Gen. Musharraf is put on trial. What a simple solution and one wonders what is stopping the whiz kids in the government from making use of this sure shot panacea to country’s ills? Imagine, all the sceptres of load shedding, unemployment, price inflation, terr

The end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.We are told again and again by experts and talking heads that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff,

The mega event is over and Spain has lifted the coveted cup. What a stupendous spectacle of skills, talent, sportsmanship and discipline it was, not only of the players but of the huge huge throngs of spectators also?! One is amazed at the fool proof and flawless execution of the event and what all not must have gone into planning and organizing such a world class event ?!! We can only marvel at

Sugar is selling at Rs. 70 a kilo and expected to rise up to Rs. 100 during the ensuing Ramadhan, thanks to the Sugar Mills cartel and its manipulative import from Brazil. But, do we know that by consuming sugar we subject ourselves to slow poisoning and pay for it too?! Of all the foods consumed today, refined sugar is considered to be one of the most harmful.

The way the issue of the fake degrees is being defended by Raisani and his likes speaks volumes about the intellectual bankruptcy of our so called leaders. Little do they realise that a degree is not a mere piece of paper which they can easily forge, but is a sacred parchment conferred by an academia certifying possession of a specific measure of knowledge by the degree holder. I think it is

A private TV channel showed, during the first hour of the start of the polling, a Patwari acting as a Polling Agent of, I care too hoots, who and belonging to which political party. The only word that comes to my mind after witnessing the spectacle is DISGUSTING. Is this the creed of our political leaders who indulge in such characterless deeds and then expect to be respected?! How was such a che
