Young Doctors’ Strike in Punjab

Young Doctors Strike in Punjab

What are doctors' demands? What is Khadim-e-Aala's (KEA) postion since he is also health minister of Punjab? What we see on the banners in TV news it seems KEA has promised something but did not deliver. No TV channel has brought both parties in any discussion together to let the people know what is the truth. On the other hand almost all the TV channels and their anchors are doing anti-doctors activism showing that patients are suffering because of their strike. It is a bias against doctors. Media should have brought the both parties on the TV discussion and let us learn who is right and who is wrong. This is not the responsibility of anchors to tell us their opinion.

PML-N in National Assembly Budget Speech

PML National Assembly Budget Speech

What PML-N did during yesterday's session of National Assembly was a clear indication of their defeat in the political arena. When somebody don't have any argument then they use force.

How Pakistan’s Youth Think

Pakistan Youth

A couple of days ago Fareeha Idrees of Samaa TV was conducting her News Beat program in Lahore. Students from a university were invited to question two national assembly members of MQM. One young woman asked a question that at the time of Ghazwa Khanduk Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was among his men when they were digging the trench why Altaf Hussain of MQM is sitting outside of Pakistan and not among his party workers.

Supreme Court’s Decision on NRO

Supreme Court Decision

Today's decision by supreme court is very disappointing. On one hand the Court is saying the Prime Minister and President of the country has not stick to their oath. They are dishonest but on the other hand the Court has not been brave enough to pass the sentense on them. That is really sad state of affairs. What is going to happen on 16th of January 2012. Probably nothing! … [Continue reading]
