WHEREAS for other nations a situation like this would mean catastrophe as the nation goes off the track being driven into uncertainty through a clash of the departments, for us this is now a routine, so its like we are now back on the track, back on the track where we have spent most of [...]

IT is this country we live in. It is unfortunate for our hapless nation to have a ruling class which is without a conscience, indifferent to the pain that the masses are going through. When the masses were shedding tears over the Peshawar massacre, our leaders were busy welcoming Hillary with smiling faces. No matter [...]

When the hot season was in its full swing the government tried to solace the public by saying that the power shortage problem would be completely dealt with by December this year.

Ironically, however, the government officials changed their statements after CJ’s reinstatement saying that government itself was considering [...]
