I think the most burning issue today in the media is that of the trial of the generals. All sorts of legal, political, constitutional, intellectuals and media experts seem to have been interned in the ‘idiot box’ where they are showering the gems of wisdom day and night on their poor captive viewers. Though the SC has given the verdict against the two to be proceeded against by the FIA yet, (One)

A bridegroom lost his life in Muzzafargrah due to the indiscriminate aerial firing by his friends and relations celebrating his wedding. Isn’t there a ban against such firing on joyous occasions? But such lawlessness is bound to happen when the law makers themselves flout the law. Was anyone convicted for the brazen firing by dozens of Kalashnikovs and pistols on the occasion of the younger Gilan

You want Quaid’s Pakistan or Taliban’s Pakistan, is what the MQM leader is so naively asking the people on November 8th? Who would in his proper senses opt for Taliban’s Pakistan over the Quaid’s Pakistan? What a question to be posed for a national referendum?! I sincerely hope that with the obvious outcome that is expected to be Altaf Bhai thumping his chest doesn’t conclude, “Okay, I will be

The PM Raja Pervez Ashraf was shown on the TV reviewing a guard of honour parade on arrival at the Vientiane airport – capital of Laos – where he has gone to attend the 9th ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting). However, what caught my attention was that his lady wife was also walking alongside him on parade as if she was also entitled to the guard of honour. I am not very sure, but is it a practice for the

Shakeel Anjum’s investigative reporting (City News Nov. 3rd) on Corruption in Corruption Free Department - NH&M Police - made some startling disclosures. Allegedly the head of the department is having 10 luxury and other expensive vehicles in his and his family’s use! Some of the Ex-IGs, serving bureaucrats, some other retired officers are still retaining expensive vehicles, some two of them alon

I wonder what are the Dress Regulations for the wearing of the uniform in the army these days. In a recently passing out parade of the 126th PMA Long Course the cadets were shown in summer uniform with their sleeves rolled up (as used to be the norm in the days bygone) while the rest of the army wears the summer uniform shirts with sleeves fully rolled down now a days (probably to avoid their arm

The woeful tale of an ex-serviceman of the PAF getting Rs. 6,000/- only per month pension that appeared in the papers a few days ago is not a solitary case of misery only. There are thousands of such Old Pensioners like him suffering in silence and resigning to the inevitable feeling of helplessness in this matter. Their pension is less than half that of the new pensioners. The skyrocketing price
