Is this how we welcome our heroes?

On the other hand, Mr. Rehman Malik, was awake at that time of night to drive Dr. Chisti all the way from the airport to his house. Has taken a position of a driver now instead of the ministry? When does he ever sleep?

Is this how the students are supposed to treat the teachers? Do you think that having extra security at the examination centers will stop students from cheating during exams?

Topic: Journey within time!

Description: Pakistan is blessed with some of the most spectacular natural sceneries, and the diversity is absolutely breathtaking. The coastal belt of Balochistan is especially rich in vistas of miles and miles of clean, sandy beaches, jewel blue waters, rugged mountains carved into amazing shapes by the elements, awe inspiring mud volcanoes and so much of rich cultural history.

But isn’t it a pity that many people are not even aware of this richness just a few hours drive away from the largest port city of Karachi? WWF… one of the leading environmental organizations working in Pakistan, recently launched its EcoTravel Programme to encourage people to view the beauty of Pakistan.

Come take a ‘Journey within time” with the team of 247online.tv, and see what you have been missing!

How many of you are familiar with the landscape along Balochistan’s coast? Would you like go there?

How come no one is questioning the bloodshed?

On the other hand, Rehman Malik accused the Sharif brothers saying that they are robbers. Chaudry Nisar Malik responded to the statement claiming that Rehman Malik is a swindler. Is this how politicians and educated people communicate?
