With the increasing shortage of water in Karachi, the number of water tankers on the roads has also increased. While these tankers are supposed to facilitate people by providing water, they have become a threat to their lives by spilling water on the roads, driving recklessly, and causing accidents.

Many motorcyclists fall on slippery roads and get badly injured. - Advertisement -While these tankers roam the streets of Karachi like wild beasts and cause casualties, the relevant authorities prefer to play blind.

The World Bank and the IMF has reached to a conclusion that Pakistan could not be offered new loans without first ensuring sustained policies for macroeconomic stability. Pakistan has committed to the IMF that there would be zero increase in the circular debt during the current fiscal year.

But this would require the endorsement of the IMF, which was not forthcoming until the government showed seriousness in taking concrete steps.

The performance of the national cricket team during an active home season, which ended with the Test series against New Zealand, has left the nation of cricket-lovers saddened.

It is high time the team was selected without myopic considerations of ethnicity and regional bias. A few changes made during the New Zealand series should be an eye-opener for all concerned.

With the 811th Urs of Hazrat Moinuddin Chishti set to be held soon, Fayyaz demanded that the federal government take up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs of India. Apart from the Urs of Hazrat Moinuddin Chishti, Muslim pilgrims from the country were also not issued visas for the Urs of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani held in September of 2022 - even when India was open for tourists from the rest of the world. To illustrate India’s aversion against Pakistani Muslim pilgrims further: in November of last year, more than 2,500 Indian pilgrims visited Pakistan to commemorate the 553rd anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak's birth ; whereas, only 147 Pakistanis were allowed to visit India Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya's 719th annual Urs celebrations in the Indian capital, New Delhi. According to the officials of Evacuee Trust Property Board, Pakistan has always been open to allowing Indian pilgrims, which is evidenced by the efforts that Pakistan put behind the building of the Kartarpur Corridor. “On the other hand India has always had an aversion to pilgrims from our side, which effectively deprives them of their right to perform their religious rituals,” an official of the Evacuee Trust Property Board told the Express Tribune.

Share:In a new interview with the Al Arabiya news channel, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif extended an olive branch to the Modi-led BJP regime in India. The offer of holding peace talks has been put back on the table once again, but only with the condition that the revocation of Article 370 would be reversed once and for all. India must be willing to talk, compromise and end the diplomatic impasse we have reached over the course of years. Instead, there has been evidence that it has been further sponsoring terrorism and encouraging division within Pakistan’s borders itself. It is time for the international community to extend its support to find peace in the region.
