    It has been a month since my attempt. The police have failed to find any leads to the perpetrators as they covered their tracks well. The police have the suspicions abt their identity as mine but they can do little to investigate them.

    everyone. Aim to find someone in life who loves and supports you through all your faults as much as our establishment loves and supports terrorists and their sympathizers.

    If anything, the Supreme Court shud take notice of ISPR's social media cell running such accounts

    Why is the Facebook page of the “official” army selection and criteria website so annoyed women attended ‘s funeral & offered prayers? Surely they must have other things to do than call upon the Supreme Court to take action on this?

    Rao Anwar is man. This shows the nexus they have with the courts. More proof of how judiciary is compromised?

    SC not only bars arrest of Rao Anwar, a police officer accused of murdering more than a hundred people, but he is also to choose the department of his investigators. What makes him so privileged? Is he a mere executioner implementing orders of high & mighty?

    Asma Jahangir played an iconic role in the movement towards women's empowerment. Her courage to raise a voice in a patriarchal society and her resoluteness in the face of oppression has been a ray of hope for many of us. Her demise is indeed an irreparable loss. P/C:
