Unique decision

By From the Newspaper

THE election tribunal in Karachi declared on Aug 11 the election of a member of the National Assembly (NA-211) void and held that the winning candidate was “not sagacious, righteous, non-profligate, honest and Ameen”(Aug 12).

Isn’t it a unique decision with possibly far-reaching effects as most of the members of present assemblies are likely to be disqualified if this decision is taken as a precedent?

Wishing a very happy Independence Day to all my fellow countrymen and women in Pakistan and abroad..!

In my opinion, the best way to serve our nation is for every Pakistani, to consider himself, act and behave as if he/she was the Prime Minister of Pakistan..!

Know When to Let an Argument Go

Sometimes the best solution to workplace conflict is just to leave it alone. If you’re deciding whether or not to raise an issue, first ask yourself: Am I too emotional right now? Heightened emotions make it tough to productively discuss the issue – and they can escalate the conflict if hurtful words slip out. Then ask: Can we even reach a resolution? If you don’t think a conversation will change anything — e.g., if your colleague is stuck in his ways or if the damage is already done — it’s better to let it go. Do what you can to end the conversation or postpone it: “I’m not ready to have this talk right now. Let me clear my head outside, and maybe we can talk tomorrow.” And once you’ve opted out, accept your own decision and don’t ruminate.

PM’s Speech..!

Too little too late…!

Imran has already said no witness will come forward against the government if any inquiry is held during the tenure of PMLN government.

For any commission to be really effective within a time bound period PTI may demand a care taker set up.

We should not forget that even no witness came forward against Gullu Butt.
