While 14 August is just around the corner, kindly allow me to share a thought with your readers once again as I have been doing for the past many years. Should we celebrate 14 August as our Independence Day or the Birthday of Pakistan? Pakistan did not exist as a country before August 14, 1947 and as such was never ruled by the British or any other foreign power. It was, therefore,

Dr. Faiz Ahmad of the NUST (NewsPost Aug 3rd) has rather sarcastically tried to ridicule Agha Waqar for the auto water-kit (WK) that the later is trying to find sponsors to produce commercially. I am sure the learned doctor knows that the water kit is not something new and quite a few of the US and French kits are already available in the market. I myself got one fitted for Rs. 25,000/= in my K

Mr. Naseen Sadiq, in his article “Challenges Before the ECP”(“The News” August 3rd, 2012 ) has brilliantly enumerated the challenges that the ECP has to face in making the elections Free and Fair and has posed a number of questions to the CEC starting with, “Will the next elections replicate the ECP’s dismal performance of the past?”. The learned writer has drawn our attention to the farcical ab

One sees some of the female TV artists, news casters and anchors heavily made up to the extent of looking being painted on our TV screens. As some of them could be fasting, is it allowed for them to wear lipstick – mostly imported - which apart from having some dubious ingredient like the fat of some animal, does have also a taste which the tongue tip could feel distinctly if touched by it.

Honourable Justice (Retd) Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim– the newly appointed CEC has openly admitted that it will a ‘challenging’ task for him to hold the free and fair elections as expected of him by the nation. Probably he had just in mind the violations of the PEC rules committed by the contestants in the recently held NA 151 bye elections at Multan and the helplessness of the Election Commission to t

Syed Musa Raza Gilani has won, congratulations, though by a margin narrower than claimed which should be an eye opener for the PPP. Since it was the first election under the new set of rules, the CEC must take strict account of whether its rules were abided by the contestants in toto or not.
