Suicide Attack in Peshawar’s Mosque Killed 46 People

The recent brutal attack by a suicide bomber on a Mosque in Peshawar where people were offering Zuhr prayers, killing at least 63 people and injuring as many as 150 people was shocking.It must be condemned.It seems a conspiracy – may be an outside job.It is suspected that the suicide bomber was a Taliban since the news came to know through the print media. But how far it is correct, God knows well.I wonder why Muslims would become enemies of one another and forget the teachings of Islam.My heart beats when a Muslim is killed by another Muslim.However, the persons involved in the suicide attack should not let go scot-free and must be punished according to the law of the land.

“Mughalai Paratha” or “Amrit Paratha”?

The renaming of the “alien sounding” Mughal Gardens as the Sanskritised Amrit Udhyan provokes a gastronomical query. Would one have to order “Amrit Paratha” from now on if one wishes to savour the famed “Mughalai Paratha”? Else, are the charges of “anti-national”, “Pakistani” and “Urban Naxal” being readied for connoisseurs of this delicacy bearing an “Islamic” signature in its very name?
