Boycott France
The Last Prophet (SAW) said, “None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind’’(bukhari). Loving our Prophet is more important to us than loving ourselves. These days in name of right to freedom laws in France the French government promotes all the things which hurt the sentiments of the Muslims all over the world.
They allow the seminars, newspapers, rallies and other events where they promote the drawing and sketches which doesn’t suit the honour of our beloved Prophet. And the Muslim Ummah is sleeping and forgot the sacrifices of our Prophet for us. We have stopped fearing Allah, and we have started fearing superpowers like France.
All leaders of Muslim world should close all embassies with France and call back all ambassadors, stop buying arms from France, stop flights coming from France to Muslim countries, impose every sanction possible if you still have love of our beloved Prophet because no economic loss is bigger than our Prophet intercession on the day of judgment. Let us all Muslims join hands and boycott France at every possible level, boycott tourism to France, stop buying French products. Let us boycott France. May Allah protect the entire Muslim world.

Release JESTs and ECTs salaries
It is beyond any doubt that employment in Pakistan has become only a dream. Nowadays getting a job is not less than a battle. Almost a year ago some efficient teachers (JESTs & ECTs) have been appointed by Government of Sindh through Sukkur IBA University. They had been selected on fully merit and posted at different districts of Sindh. Either it is rain or thunder; summer or winter, they are performing their duties with loyalty and honesty as well. But yet they haven’t been provided their salaries since 2019 which are their rights. They come from different places.
Many of them are from poor background and they face difficulties to manage their daily expenses. To get a job was a huge achievement for them but regretfully it was a nine day’s wonder. They run from pillar to post for getting their salaries released, but always have been robbed of. Thus, Government of Sindh should order the concerned authorities to free the salaries of JESTs & ECTs along with their dues so that they can survive happily and with prosperity. If they are satisfied, they will perform their duties with dedication. Hope someone will be listening.

Bad governance
Mnangagwa’s regime treat Zimbabweans and the entire world as if they don’t have brains, eyes and ears by trying to convince them that the collapse of Zimbabwean economic and social fabric have been caused by the sanctions. It is totally insane for anyone who is normal to believe such unbelievable message. Bells, whistles, slogans, advertisements, galas and protests will not solve any inch of the problems that eroded the economic sanity of Zimbabwe.
ZANU-PF government is using sanctions to divert Zimbabweans’ attention from its failure to deliver on promises to improve the citizens’ lives. Two years ago, President Emmerson Mnangagwa told Zimbabweans that they should not mourn about sanctions as he was geared to change Zimbabwe for the better. President Emerson Mnangagwa is a king of confusion and incompetence. Sanctions are just a scapegoat for his failures. The real sanctions are him because he is imposing bogus opposition leader in parliament and captured the judicial system.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his government failed to reform the economy of Zimbabwe. Dysfunctional healthcare systems, unavailability of water and electricity, dilapidated road networks systems, illegal gold panning and bad practises in agricultural sectors are not the products of sanctions. Failure, bad management of the country, massive corruption and human rights abuses have caused the country to collapse economically and socially. Tried and failed
ZANU-PF Government and its President Emerson Mnangagwa must resign and stop wasting time on blaming sanctions which is just a drop in the ocean as the list of elements that brought Zimbabwe to its knees are concerned.

Geological wonders around
The recent earthquake has hit hard countries like Greece and Turkey, causing damage to property and resulting in considerable casualties. These two countries like Turkey and Greece are such beautiful regions in the world that they have been linked to beautiful heritage and fascinating historical background.
In my schooldays in the early 1990s in Tamil Nadu, we students had our geography syllabus rolled into a tome bigger than a usual book making it clear then that the branch of geography was like an ocean with so many uncharted areas around. I, a class 7 student then was charmed and encouraged by that ‘geography tome. ‘
Countries pay little attention to the geographical study but are hell-bent on researching the space above – outer space. Given many disasters like tsunami, earthquakes, serious research activities must go into the characteristics of Earth – even leading to greater heights in farming activities. Besides, Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean are all a few more “mystery worlds” only waiting to pose unseen threats to the whole world. Great hard work and high-end scientific efforts are needed to tackle Nature’s fury.
