Form of Government by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

If nothing else the long marches by Imran and Dr. Qadri have dawned the realization to all that not all is well with our rulers and the electoral system that elects them. Talks are also rife that apart from the electoral reforms the life of the assemblies should also be curtailed to four years instead of the present five years. In a TV Talk Show someone also mentioned about the presidential form Click here to read Full Article

Now that the holy month of Ramazan is ending (has already ended in some parts of KPK) please allow me to share with you all a column which speaks volumes about our blind following of some of our religious ritual equally led by the ‘blind’ clergy. Click here to read Full Article
Lowari Tunnel: by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

A lot is being done to improve the road communications and mass transportation systems in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad and of late Karachi. Billions and billions are being spent on these projects which the critics think are not that essentially required and the huge amounts could be utilized elsewhere on much more badly needed projects to ameliorate the lot of the masses. Anyway, now th Click here to read Full Article
 
The Dollar Slide by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 16/Jul/2014 Views:1372 Replies:0 
One wonders whether it was an admission, a revelation or a confession when the PM disclosed the other day that the govt. had to put in a Herculean effort to thwart the downward slide of the dollar in December 2013 and stop it at Rs. 98 from its peak value of Rs. 111 as it could go down further to Rs. 50 and 60. He said that it was done to protect the interest of the exporters who would have suffe Click here to read Full Article
Electoral Reforms by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

Elections in Pakistan have always been controversial and mostly not very fair either, except for the only one held in December 1970 and that too ironically under a military dictator. In our elections foul play starts right from the scrutiny of the nomination papers of a candidate and goes on all the way up to the counting of votes and compiling/announcing of the results. It is done at times with t Click here to read Full Article

Moon Sighting By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

Maulana Popalzai has done it once again and has given rise to the same controversy that we have been living with almost ever since the inception of Pakistan. That is, to start the month of Ramzan a day earlier than the rest of the country and consequently celebrate the Eid ul Fitr also a day or two earlier than the rest. Ironically, it is such a simple problem to tackle if we make use of the mode Click here to read Full Article
 
Judicial System by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

A five member bench of the epic court has suspended the SHC decision to remove Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s name from the ECL. Apart from going into the pros and cons of the case, one wonders as to how the SHC had given the verdict for the removal of the name and why has the SCP now given orders to the contrary. Did the SHC hear some other arguments and the SCP some other? Did the SHC apply some other Click here to read Full Article

Shahbaz Resignation Ever since Lahore horrific incidence there has been not a single TV talk show that doesn’t ask for the resignation of the Chief Minister of the Punjab Shahbaz Sharif or that of his Home Minister Rana Sanaullah.
