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

He said that it was done to protect the interest of the exporters who would have suffe

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

Ironically, it is such a simple problem to tackle if we make use of the mode

A five member bench of the epic court has suspended the SHC decision to remove Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s name from the ECL.

We don't achieve excellence because our own lack of vision - Oliver Wendall Holmes. He was born to win but conditioned to lose, depriving himself of his heritage because of lack of vision. Don't let negative people drag you down. Remember that a person's character is not only judged by the company he keeps but also by the company he avoids.
