Lawyers and Bar Associations announced not to attend the courts on Monday the 28th as a protest against the NATO attack killing Pak Army soldiers and officers on a border check post. While gratefully appreciating their this kind gesture of siding and standing with the army on this matter, I think such protestations should not be resorted to by closing the markets, keeping the public transport off

Migratory birds migrate during a particular season but the weathercocks change their direction with the changing wind. Something similar is in the offing for the PTI. Many an opportunist, including some heavy weights also, in the garb of the proverbial fasli batera are stoking their feathers to fly towards it. Unfortunately, most of them are tainted in various shades of corruption and thePTI doe

There is an un-necessary hullabaloo all over the media about the three cricketers sentenced to various terms of imprisonment by a British Judge. To be honest, they have been let off rather lightly, for, from their very looks – long unkempt hair, unshaven chins, open shirt buttons down to the navel and hands in trousers pockets walking nonchalantly into the court room in a manner bordering disrespe

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?

As per media reports Pakistan Railways has temporarily stopped the services of 115 trains due to the shortage of locomotives, fuel and funds. PakistanRailwaysforms the life line of the country by catering to its needs for large scale movement of freight as well as passenger traffic.

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 is trying its best to cope up with the power shortage by introducing power saving measures such as two days off a week, early closing of markets and shopping centres, replacing ordinary electric bulbs with energy savers, restrictions on lighting and commercial signs etc. However, yet another huge source of power consumption has escaped its attention either by design or default.

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. What little I know of him it can be said without any fear of contradiction that the Admiral is not only
