Water and Electricity Problems

Ever since 1947, our country is always in some kind of crisis. At present, besides the problem of drinking water there are electricity problems and the problem of low water level in the dams. In the recent past we suffered a shortage of onions so they were imported from India, then we suffered a shortage of meat so we imported goats from India. Is it time to import drinking water and electricity?

Hypocrisy

I came across a link to an Australian newspaper. It showed a poll where you could vote whether the blasphemous caricatures of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) should be published by them or not, as were originally published in a Danish newspaper. The poll made me think of a lot of things, one of them being the hypocrisy of the West. Why is it that a single man’s denial of the Holocaust causes so much unrest while the protest raised by the Muslims over the denigration of their Prophet (PBUH) is termed as extremism? Is the world hypocrite and prejudiced toward Muslims or am I being biased?
