There we go again. Mufti Munib and his team straining with squint eyes to locate the moon through binoculars atop some sky scraper! Two things come to my mind. Is it Islamic to use a modern gadget like a binocular for sighting the moon against the much professed the naked eye? If yes, then why not use the other available advanced space technologies also for determining the ruet?

The Election Commission has suspended the membership of 231 lawmakers for not declaring their assets. In it there are a few ministers at the federal and provincial levels as well. As it is a constitutional requirement for a minister to be a member of the house, don’t these suspended parliamentarians automatically cease to remain ministers any more? If yes, what is the legal position of their off

Government has shown an unusual alacrity in publishing the notification appointing Admiral Fasih Bokhari (Retd) as the chairman NAB on a Sunday holiday. Whatever be the reasons it is a most welcome step which restores one’s confidence in the government that the merit is still recognised by it.
