There is a reason why corrupt politicians, generals, judges, and oligarchs from around the world bring their wealth and themselves to the UK. They know they'll be safe.

This was one of his best interviews to a foreign media organization so far. I think he is finally getting comfortable dealing with these people. Or maybe their questions have just become so predictable.

You're right, we shouldn't blame everything on previous governments. But we should blame them for the things they did wrong. And this is one of them. I doubt IK ever said that he will make Pakistan richer than the US in 2 years. That is a ridiculous thing to say or believe. Even if he did, no...

It was Zardari and Shareef who stacked PTV with unneeded and unqualified political appointments, and burdened it with salaries and pensions for years to come. So ultimately, the responsibility of its losses and the supposed burden on the public through utility bills falls on the two previous...

Question is "is Iran staying out of our internal conflicts"?

So far 2 out of 4 are good....tu jhoom and kana yaari. Last two are not my cup of tea

One can understand the message of the Quran by other means (through teachers), even if one does not understand the meanings of the specific words. While understanding the words of the Quran is definitely beneficial, there is value in reading and memorizing it too. It is a rewardable deed ( ثواب...

Not if you're pulling numbers out of your .....where the sun don't shine

You can make your point without generalizing. Anyone can come up with anecdotal evidence to support pretty much any argument. It's a chartered accountant who drove our economy to the ground, swindled the country, and is hiding in the UK. It's an MBA from Wharton who is an accomplice of a...

Does the SC have a problem with sports scholarships for universities as well?

Actually extra virgin olive oil, which is what we consume for food, has a lower smoke point than Canola. See this. That's why olive oil is not good for deep frying. But as long as it does not reach the smoke point, it's healthier and tastier than most other oils. It's pretty much good for any...

SMQ is definitely wrong here. He cannot plead cultural ignorance. Even in Pakistan this would be considered rude. From the way he's looking down and talking, it looks like he's very tired and worried, and wasn't really thinking about his posture. He also seems to have quite an informal...
