The decision of Afghan government to ban girls education in some religious educational institutes because they were imparting modern education to the girls also is a retrogressive step. To deprive more than half of country’s population from education is criminal. One would have thought that Taliban leaders would have learnt from their past mistakes but it seems that like the Bourbons they have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing which is unfortunate to say the least.

The weather pundits predict more rains during the next few days therefore we should not lower our guard and say hello until we are out of the woods.
Those lawyers have a point there when they say that the PTI workers should not jump the gun and show jubilance over grant of bail to their leader in some cases as the grant of bail does not mean his acquittal from the cases he is involved.
