The ECP yielding to the politicians’ request has removed the “None of the Above” box from the ballot papers. The politicians’ point of view was that anybody not wishing to vote for any of the contestants would not come to the polling station in the first place just to stamp the said box! Okay, agreed and let’s accept their view point. But if the turn out in any constituency is less

The Islamic system of business, trade and finance management (banking) is said to be the best as it will not allow any exploitation of the lower and middle classes and that the distribution of the wealth will be equitable. However, our history tells us differently. There was rarely, if ever, any middle class and it were only the rich or the poor in our early days as well as during the later Khi

With less than a dozen days left to the polls – May 11th - the electioneering fervor is on its peak. The party leaders are frantically holding public meetings – at times thrice a day – and promising moon to the innocent and naïve masses. They claim to eradicate poverty, power and gas load shedding, unemployment and joblessness and offer better and free education, healthcare, interest free loans

Musharraf is being castigated by all and sundry left and right for many things including the drone strikes in Pakistan. Yes, Musharraf did allow the use of drones but has anyone also given it a thought – why. Are the drone strikes doing harm to Pakistan or good? Who are they used against and actually kill whom? We are shown only the pictures of the children, women and old folks living in the near

Ch. Nisar’s and General Musharraf’s nomination papers were reportedly rejected by some ROs at Rawalpindi and Karachi but were strangely found acceptable by the other ROs at other places allowing them to contest from those constituencies in the coming general elections.

Reportedly Bilwal asked his aunt Faryal Talpur, the present chief coordinator of the PPP, to issue a few Senators’ tickets to certain persons, which she declined to oblige. Dady Zardari sided with the sister telling Bilwal that he was yet in the process of being groomed and that Faryal knew the best what she was doing.
