Stop death in Syria
Syria is now a death valley. There are no security of life and property and woman’s chastity, food and medicine, and shelter. The old, the women and the children are crying, saying: O our Lord: Send someone to rescue us from the Death Valley and miseries.
But who is responsible for the human catastrophe, as already over one lakh people died and many more are in the queues. Is the Assad government to blame, or the so-called champions of democracy? We do not know the end of the civil war, but we know that Israel is the lone beneficiary. We also do not know when the OIC, the government and the rebels will realize this truth. But we believe that the UNO and OIC have something to do. The two organisations should arrange immediate truce between the two warring sides and work to hold a free and fair polls under a caretaker government. They cannot shut their eyes to the developments in Egypt where the military government is doing everything to please Israel.
Unless free and fair polls are held under a caretaker government in Egypt and Bahrain, the Arab world will plunge into deep crises to benefit the enemies only.

Follow the basic rules
A house built upon an unsafe ground and without following building codes is bound to develop faults, in no time it will crumble down like Rana Plaza taking huge tolls. The January 5 election could be compared with it as it has no foundation.
Injustice never pays. It was a grave injustice to the people by forming the government in a way which is not acceptable in any norm. What can the people do but pray to Almighty Allah to deliver them from this unbearable situation? May He show mercy on them.
