Apart from political propaganda it is fanning sectarianism. Religious programming is an even more slippery slope. Myriads of religious channels, each promoting the beliefs and practices of one particular sect, are on air. The marketing of various ‘brands’ of religion is dangerous to say the least. Often superstitious cultural practices of the unlettered are projected via such channels as religious rituals. Additionally, certain controversial religious figures are freely seen on TV. No effort is made by religious channels to promote better citizenship and ethical values. The power of religion over hearts and minds is unparalleled. This, coupled with the bad reputation the mullahs have acquired in Pakistan, demands that serious and urgent attention must be paid to this media genre. In the scenario of extremism and militancy it is a dangerous ride and media must abstain from it.

For my curiously, can anyone shed some light on: What mistakes he has made and what is future of Tehreek-e-Insaaf? Thanks in advance.

Murder and mayhem across the length and breadth of the country with no sign of let up or relief. Senior army officers targeted in broad daylight in the heart of the federal capital.The audacity, vicious nature and cruelty of the onslaught increasing with each passing day. Is this the Muslim homeland envisaged by the founding fathers? Certainly not! Jinnah’s vision of his creation was negated and nullified with the adoption of the Objectives Resolution shortly after his death in 1949.

A stable currency only can contribute to country's economic development to a great extend. Stable currency and persistent policies are the secrets of Chinese economic boom. But the question is , is our govt. willing to make any independent policies at all? Pakistan should strengthen it’s own currency and should follow Chinese policies in this regard.
