Mian Nawaz Sharif has found a sister in late Benazir Bhutto and vowed to unearth her murderers and hang them if returned to power. A feat which the PPP could not perform in its near 4 year rule by now. However, the PPP Jialas in and out of the government were not far behind in terming the expression a wacky verbosity amounting to exploiting the grave of the departed soul. One wonders how would

A picture on page-5 of “The News” 10 December shows the Saudi Ambassador Abdulaziz bin Ibrahim Al-Ghadeer calling on Senator Muhammad Ali Durrani. Two things caught my immediate attention. First, the ambassador looked real smart attired in a designer’s western suit complete with what must have been a pure silk stripped necktie with a matching kerchief. Second, the presence of a framed picture o

Comparing the recent sudden rise in Imran Khan’s popularity to that of ZAB’s similar performance four decades ago, a lot looks common between the two, only ZAB was more theatrical. Both are (were) promising more than they could deliver. Imran needs to be more watchful as he might lose the popular support - particularly of the younger lot - if the old heavy weight turn coats - the very embodiment

Lawyers and Bar Associations announced not to attend the courts on Monday the 28th as a protest against the NATO attack killing Pak Army soldiers and officers on a border check post. While gratefully appreciating their this kind gesture of siding and standing with the army on this matter, I think such protestations should not be resorted to by closing the markets, keeping the public transport off

Migratory birds migrate during a particular season but the weathercocks change their direction with the changing wind. Something similar is in the offing for the PTI. Many an opportunist, including some heavy weights also, in the garb of the proverbial fasli batera are stoking their feathers to fly towards it. Unfortunately, most of them are tainted in various shades of corruption and thePTI doe

There is an un-necessary hullabaloo all over the media about the three cricketers sentenced to various terms of imprisonment by a British Judge. To be honest, they have been let off rather lightly, for, from their very looks – long unkempt hair, unshaven chins, open shirt buttons down to the navel and hands in trousers pockets walking nonchalantly into the court room in a manner bordering disrespe

There we go again. Mufti Munib and his team straining with squint eyes to locate the moon through binoculars atop some sky scraper! Two things come to my mind. Is it Islamic to use a modern gadget like a binocular for sighting the moon against the much professed the naked eye? If yes, then why not use the other available advanced space technologies also for determining the ruet?

As per media reports Pakistan Railways has temporarily stopped the services of 115 trains due to the shortage of locomotives, fuel and funds. PakistanRailwaysforms the life line of the country by catering to its needs for large scale movement of freight as well as passenger traffic. One was, therefore, not only surprised but shocked to listen to the insensible apathy of the Honourable Federal
