Constructive Role Played by Media to Reform Our Society

When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered, and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained, that wise men look for.”—Milton

Media is regarded as the most powerful weapon of 21st century. It has the capability to transform a good into bad and a bad into good. Media has revolutionized the world successfully and it has diminished the geographical boundaries. Obviously, it has transformed the world into a global village. Media’s role to reform a society regarding social, political and educational areas and domains is so diversified that tides of media can not be reversed. It is a renowned fact that media is considered as the fourth pillar of a state. Like other pillars(executive, judiciary and legislature), media has foremost duty to be authentic and to maintain the decorum of a state. Simultaneously, it plays a vital role to reform any society. True and honest media becomes constructive and strives for the development of society. A strong and powerful media constructs a society on sound footings. It assists to formulate the public opinion by spreading awareness regarding state issues. The term counselling is very much predictable and guidance is provided by journalists to amend society. It can be said that ” media is not less than a weapon which plays defensive as well as offensive role”. Moreover, with the spread of technology, the worth of media is beefed-up. It is unarguable fact that media has become the soul and essence of society.

Crucifying Act in Society

Harassment in the workforce and recreational places has been entrenched in the history of Pakistan since its inception. A large number of migrants were harassed, molested, raped, and even killed brutally .

While Pakistan was being liberated from the clutches of Hindus on 14th August 1947, the aim of battling for this land was to overshadow the influence of pagans on Muslim society. The charismatic personality; Quaid-e-Azam, devoted his youth to infuse a new spirit of patriotism and vigour in the dormant bodies of the Muslims. The day of 14th August is usually celebrated with zeal and zest; patriotic display in formal and non-formal institutions, public and private places can be seen extensively. But what is the use of such chauvinist display?

Tax amnesty and economy of Pakistan (M Nadeem Bhatti)

Tax amnesty scheme is a limited-time opportunity for a specified group of taxpayers to pay a defined amount, in exchange for forgiveness of a tax liability (including interest and penalties) relating to a previous tax period or periods and without fear of criminal prosecution.

It typically expires when some authority begins a tax investigation of the past-due tax. In some cases, legislation extending amnesty also imposes harsher penalties on those who are eligible for amnesty but do not take it. Tax amnesty is one of voluntary compliance strategies to increase tax base and tax revenue. Tax amnesty is different from other voluntary compliance strategies in part where tax amnesty usually waives the taxpayers tax liability.

Amnesty scheme in any fiscal year is to help State treasury raising tax revenues, adding beneficiaries in tax base who have not declared their assets previously. The main purpose of inception of this scheme is to replicate the economy and encouraging individuals to declare their wealth as it may arises. Under this scheme the beneficiary just has to pay some tax on the total assets which are declared in Amnesty scheme. State introduces this scheme when they believe that individuals are hiding their wealth from the tax authorities. Federal Government of Pakistan recently announced a tax reform package and amnesty which is expected to overhaul and change the entire taxation system in Pakistan.

The Muslim World on the Verge of Destruction

The Muslim World on the Verge of Destruction

The Muslims had ruled over the world 1000 of years ago. They were at climax because of their firm belief at unity. They had firm belief on the Holy Quran but it is law of nature that everything that rises sees a downfall. As long as the Muslim stuck to their religion, they succeeded but when they abandoned their moral values, they suffered downfall.

Muslim Ummah currently passing from catastrophic period and the era of their destruction began when they commenced trusting their enemies, they suffered insurmountable loss.  If we look into the above issue with cool mind, it will dawn upon us that the disunity among the Muslim Ummah is the major cause of their decline. If we have a bird eye view of the current scenario, it will be revealed that the Muslims are fighting against their own Muslim brothers due to lack of unity.

Survival of Pakistan without U.S. Aid should be our first priority

The topic under discussion is very critical, sensitive as well as having enormous importance. If the opinion of world is taken, it is very discouraging and pinching because most of the European countries rather most of the countries of the world have the conception that Pakistan is corrupt country and if she is not provided with external aid, she will collapse. Even the Americans think that Pakistan is massively dependent on them because of this imperialistic thinking America has left no stone unturned ever in maltreating and threatening Pakistan even in critical and sensitive circumstances. Same is the case with India although Indians are our neighbor yet they have always been showing enmity against Pakistan. From the inception of Pakistan they have always chalked out evil designs to harm Pakistan. The Indians reckon that Pakistan will become bankrupt and soon it will collapse but it has never happened Pakistan has survived and it will still survive.
