PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission (KPEC) on Tuesday arrested an additional secretary of finance department on charges of making illegal appointments in the social...
the concluding sentence is very troubling.
so the govt is not inclined. to add more private trains. I hope they know that it is not privatisation which benefits the consumers but competition.
What we did was right. There was no need to show loyalty when it wasnt really about the threat to KSA's sovereignty. Who knows these rocket attacks are an attempt to drag pakistan in this war? Im only speculating. And speculation is always more useful than evidence based deduction in times of...

every province must have an urban centre around which it can run its economy. If Karachi is taken out of Sindh, what will be left of the Sindh's economy? Urban economy supports the rural economy while at the same time generating revenue for the entire province. You cant just make more provinces...
agreed in principle. But i do not agree to the notion that religious principles are only a personal matter with no bearing on how the state should function. And this is what our founders including Jinnah understood of Islam as well. Here is my post citing Jinnah to prove my point.

State institutions need rules and regulation according to which they function towards achieving a certain objective. All of these need to be (broadly) defined. You can't leave these at the mercy of the employees.
Indeed employees will determine how successfully those rules & regulations are...
thats an error. Jinnah didnt confine the 'islamic principles' to individual lives. He couldnt be more explicit about it in his 1948 address to the State Bank of Pakistan. He propagated for 'evolving banking practices compatible with islamic ideas of social and economic life.' His attitude was...
in my understanding he never found this to be incompatible with the notion of 'Islamic principles,' Had he wanted to take religion out of the state, he could have simply called for a secular muslim state rather than referring to islamic principles whenever talking about the functioning of the state.
is there any explicit statement of Jinnah which says he wants Pakistan to be a 'secular' country? im still to come across one while i have seen many statements where he talks about the 'principles of islam'
