The Federal Government has decided load management of Sui Gas and in
the process ordered closure of CNG stations for two days. The
Government doesn’t have any idea that million of people are using
the CNG vehicles and most affected would be taxi drivers who are
earning their livelihood for their families. I would request the
Federal Government to reconsider this decision and find out proper
solution instead of load shedding like electricity in the country.

A joke with constitution
A Q Anjum
Major and dependable English dailies of Pakistan have complimented
the National Reconciliation Ordinance as under: “That NRO put up
before National Assembly Committee on Law and Justice is the amended
version of the original NRO and that the NRO seems to be a joke with
the Constitution. The additions done in the NRO have changed its
real structure”.
Yet another paper says that the NRO has turned into an
unconstitutional and iniquitous legislation after its treatment by
the Committee on Law and Justice. It is evident that the NRO
presented by the NA Committee runs against the grain of the
Constitution of Pakistan and cannot be sustained on legal and
ethical pedestals. —Rawalpindi
Zardari’s politics
Wg Cdr H A Khwaja (R)
Almost all the newspapers on October 28,2009 carried a coloured
photograph of the president Zardari and the Army Chief General
Kayani. This is usual, but unusual was Quaid’s photograph placed on
the corner table, instead of, usually, that of Mrs Zardari, the late
BB. Is it politics, gimmick or change of heart? Since ZAB also
declared Friday as a closed holiday to please the Muslim clergy and
the people in his dying days of politics. Mr Zardari is good in
politics and its games. Such a game is keeping MNS going in circles
while he is circling the globe. Whereas the other day in one of the
pictures in newspapers-pictures the entire family was displayed and
Quaid’s photograph was conspicuously missing. Isn’t it all Mr
Zardari’s politics?—Islamabad
CSS papers format
Bunko
Civil Service of Pakistan (CSS) is a dream of its candidates to pass
through it. However, Passing CSS is not an easy task, hours of hard
work, researches, and attentive mind required to meet the success of
CSS. This year, result of 2009 CSS announced after two-month delay,
in which many students failed just by 10 to 12 marks short to meet
the minimum requirement of 600 marks, to accomplish their goal of
life. The reason behind their failure is the format of CSS paper of
Islamiyat and English Composition paper.
On behalf of aspirants of CSS 2010, I realize the non-serious
behavior of concerned authority towards its paper format. In
Islamiyat paper, 20 marks of MCQ’s are related to Islamic History
paper in lieu of Islamiyat paper. Furthermore 10 marks of synonymous
and antonymous in English composition paper are not to check the
ability and knowledge of candidate but not more than playing bluff
in exam or challenging candidates luck to hit the jackpot. I request
concerned authority to take effective notice against the paper
format, So that hard work of day and night of candidates of CSS
doesn’t go in vain.—Hyderabad
Thoughts about terrorism
Mushahid Nawaz Khan
Terrorists and extremists have been taken away precious lives from
loved ones and phobia of death has spread across our country. Such
an experience could only be felt if experienced. People sleep the
night wondering whether or not they will wake up the next morning
alive. All this for what, one might ask. Is it to spread the words
of Islam, the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the command of
Allah? I don not think so. This is not the way to spread Islam
instead, is a short cut to spread the trepidation of power, to make
the weak suffer and to terrorise all. Such immoral actions are
strictly prohibited in Islam and should never in one’s life shall be
done. Why don’t they understand that Islam is religion of peace not
violence?
These terrorists of various groups are heartless beings who posses
no emotions and have no love of God. Taking away lives is not
Islamic, rather it is barbaric. Never was and never would be God
pleased of such revolting actions of these terrorists. Putting
others in agony, apprehension and distress never prove one’s
strength. Have they not any emotions and isn’t there any human left
inside them. They may be alive but they are lifeless inside. They
are spineless, pathetic and dishonorable.
Our nation is putting all its efforts to test against this evil. We
must not and should not give in to this evil. We must make efforts
towards eliminating this evil one way or other. Our differences must
be put aside and there must be unity amongst each other. We must
remember that we are not different rather we are same. We must
remember we are one. We must remember that we are Pakistanis and
would not allow anyone to hurt our country. —Islamabad
