A lot is being said and done on both sides of the Durand Line by the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the latest being the construction of the Changezi Gate at Torkham.

Nearly all our tv channels, and by the grace of Allah there is no dearth of them , are telecasting Ramazan special shows such as “Rooh e Ramazan”, “Raunaq e Ramazan”, “Shan e Ramazan”, “Rehmat e Ramazan”, “Ishq e Ramazan”, “Pak Ramazan”, et al. All claim to be highly “rooh parwar”, but to me some of them are competing for the mad rating rat race amongst themselves by turning their programmes whi

It would be ungrateful on the part of the pensioners not to thank the govt. for the 10% and 25% relief offered to them. In these hard days of high inflation and sky rocketing prices any respite big or small is more than welcome. However, it was pathetic to see long queues of old men and women standing for hours in the sizzling sun without shade and water at the bank windows waiting helplessly for

Only a few days ago it was the Secretary Finance Baluchistan with crores of ill gotten money stashed in the wardrobes of his bedroom and now are reportedly a Director Foreign Affairs and an Assistant Director NAB arrested for similar corruption. Does anyone know of a single clean and honest department in this land of the pure? If there is one, kindly let us know.

Indeed integrity and being loyal to your profession is what counts most! But does it -- really? According to media reports the young DPO of Bahawal Nagar, Shariq Kamal, known for his integrity and who had taken action against the close aides of a local strong man – MNA Lalika – who were intercepted in a drunken state at a police check post and who getting berserk had then thrashed the policem

How could someone stoop so low to the abysmal depths of such an appallingly terrible inhuman act of setting to torch a wretched helpless young girl for helping a friend to elope, if even she did?

However, one thing that I don’t understand is his evacuation from Afghanistan by a special plane. A special flight co
