Whether the CEC will be able to assert himself as expected of him or not is yet to be seen but the signs so far are not very encouraging. The gentleman appears to be too lenient and smiling all the while, with the result that during the recent by-elections the contestants flouted at will the rules of the Election Commission, such as; overspending on their electioneering campaigns, providing transp

Every Tom, Dick and Harry of a politician lets go of no opportunity in making fool of the masses in the name of democracy. Any legit criticism of the govt. or a political party for their plunder and corruption, appalling law and order situation in the country, poor and bad governance, dwindling economy, closure of industries, ever increasing prices of commodities and utilities, unemployment, powe

Our media is quite vibrant and probably the most independent one in the region yet, I think, there is a scope for it to learn a little to acquit itself of its responsibilities dutifully and maturely. One of the uppermost obligations of the media is to educate the people also apart from providing them with the latest information and news. Presently our both electronic and print media seem to be mo

The parliament has passed the “Validation Bill 2012” giving constitutional cover to acts, orders and other instruments done, made or issued by the previous Prime Minister Mr. Yousaf Raza Gilani during the period April 2012 to June 2012. Such a blanket cover to the acts of the previous PM is something not understood by me. Any bonafide act of the PM in accordance with the constitution does not

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
