OGRA and the Govt. by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz Created On: 21/Jul/2016 Views: 1062 Replies: 0 
Though a welcome news that the govt. has overruled the increase in the prices of fuel suggested by OGRA yet, it put me to thinking as to what the heck these Regulatory Authorities are doing in Pakistan? Don’t they make their recommendations after taking all pros and cons into consideration in the best interest of Pakistan that the govt (read PM) just overrules them ostensibly in the public interes Click here to read Full Article

Changezi Gate by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 29/Jun/2016 Views:1248 Replies:0 
I propose that the under construction border gate at Torkham be named “Changezi Gate” after the valiant brave Major Ali Jawwad Changezi Shaheed to commemorate and immortalize his Shahadat that would also serve as a bitter reminder to the Afghans across of the immense bravery and sacrifice of the Shaheed for his country.

Peshawar Firing by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 29/Jun/2016 Views:1033 Replies:0 
Look at the Machiavellian twist the Kurram Agency Political Clerk has so artistically given to a murderous attempt by his son(s) to the firing in self defence on the other party who were according to him trying to kidnap him! Well done the political clerk, but does he think that all those watching the live tv video of the naked incident are fools to fall in to his trap. Agreed a couple of crores Click here to read Full Article
Sehr and Iftar Timings by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 29/Jun/2016 Views:1293 Replies:0 
I was just wondering as to who forecasts and tabulates the Sehr and Iftar timings with that precision for each day of the month and for all major and minor cities of Pakistan that are printed on various calendars, newspapers and magazines in advance by a few days before the start of Ramazan? Not only that but throughout the year the precise timings for the five prayers are also forecast in the sa Click here to read Full Article
 
Durand Line or Greater Pakistan by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 29/Jun/2016 Views:1007 Replies:0 
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. Unfortunately, all such traffic and migratory regulatory steps taken between the two neighbouring countries are causing more of acrimony than harmony between them. Immediately after the creation of Pakistan a bogey of Pusht Click here to read Full Article
Ramazan and TV Shows by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 29/Jun/2016 Views:983 Replies:0 
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 Click here to read Full Article
 
Pensioners Plight by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 15/Jun/2016 Views:1041 Replies:0 
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 Click here to read Full Article
Our Officer Cadre by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

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. Click here to read Full Article
 
Integrity & Professional Loyalty by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 16/May/2016 Views:729 Replies:0 
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 Click here to read Full Article
Ah! Ambreen by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 12/May/2016 Views:888 Replies:0 
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? Where were our law enforcing agencies when the self appointed jirga of the hoodlums was in session for almost 5 hours debating the fate of the poor unwary innocent girl? Where were her kiths and kin, re Click here to read Full Article
