Islamabad : Never had we been so distressed on a New Year eve then this year. There have been more losses and pain as we look back then the things to rejoice as the last sunset on the year 2020 wrapped in a pal of gloom.
For the first time in our lives, we observed Eids, remaining confined to homes and practically asking relatives and friends not to come over to share the joys of the happy occasions.
For the first time, most of us offered prayers at home, even during Ramazan. For the first time we saw children away from schools/ colleges/universities, staying at home for months and months, practically taking away the joys of summer and winter vacations or holidays.
RAWALPINDI: Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday said Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s politics has been exposed by his own party leader Maulana Mohammad Sherani who termed him ‘selected’.
She also said Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)’s announcement of resignation from parliament was just an empty threat, adding the opposition parties would not hold any long march. “Looters will not launch any movements. PDM does not have any ideological common ground and it is a group of parties gathered to protect their money,” she said at a Christmas ceremony held at Parks and Horticulture Authority Rawalpindi office.Ms Awan said PML (Functional) leader Mohammad Ali Durani had met PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif to convey a message of Pir Paghara. She said Maryam Nawaz was staging protests while Shahbaz Sharif was busy in negotiations.
