Once again the Ruet e Hilal Committee has announced that our Eid ul Azha will fall on Saturday 27 October 2012, that is one day after it would be observed at Makkah. This means that our Hajj will occur on Friday 26th October 2012, whereas the ACTUAL Hajj at Mecca will be performed on Thursday the 25th of October 2012 ! Could anyone please tell me as to why don’t we observe Hajj in Pakistan on the

Not a day passes when a dozen or so innocent people are not killed in Karachi, mostly on account of preplanned target killing. Though the law enforcing agencies are blamed for their incompetency to control the crime yet, I think it is just beyond them. The main reason is that the terrorists have the initiative to chose the time, place and the target which is not known to the law enforcement for

Recently a very appropriate and meaningful slogan has started appearing in the media – both electronic and print, pronouncing , “Pakistan ka matlab kia – Padhney likhney ke sewa”. I want to congratulate the person who conceived of this powerful slogan so essential for the progress of Pakistan and wish it could be given still wider publicity through bill boards, postage stamps, envelops, and othe

The PM very rightly said on the floor of the house that if Pakistan is to be made a safe country to live in for its every daughter then we have to fight the menace of terrorism which is essentially an outcome of a typical mindset of the extremists. While Islam preaches acquisition of knowledge for all – men and women, these extremists blow up the very founts of knowledge – the schools and kill th

A lot is being discussed on TV shows and written in the print media about Imran Khan’s announced ‘Aman march’ to Wazirastan but which ended with his speech at the Jahaz Ground, Tank, a few miles short of its destination. The detractors looking visibly pleased for his not making it to the end conveniently forget the APCs, the containers and other impediments placed in the path of the marchers

Yet another date – October 10th - has been given by the SCP to the Minister of Law to put up the draft of the letter to be written to the Swiss authorities for the approval of the apex court.

Ostensibly there seems nothing wrong with the six points raised by Sardar Akhtar Mengal.But what was surprising was his likening them to the Six Points of Mujib ur Rehman. Far from it. Mujib’s points had the seeds of secession in them. Whereas, ’s points, as he himself says, contain nothing against the constitution of Pakistan. If we analyze the points one by one, again some of them are found
