Mohammad Bangash | 14 years ago | Reply Sadafs question is very relevant, why have you not given the name of the NGO? That puts you in the dodgy category as well. Yusuf I like the idea...but if you are a Muslim, then its not workable...It is an invitation: but to make sure you/we do not make mistakes, do not accept the status quo, do not keep quiet over wrongs committed, and most important we do not make compromises to the above when it is our personal matter...which we do.

Yusuf RK | 14 years ago | Reply Another Govt officer 'suspended', whats the big deal man. Nothing ever comes of it, unless they are suspended by their fat necks from the nearest light pole. Suspension here is not a deterrent, its an INVITATION!
