Columnist Ramzay Hayat
has describes as to how women are being treated in the Muslim countries on the
name of religion. He writes:
No rocket science
needed to realise that the only way to save the bodies and souls of our
brothers and sisters is to segregate the sexes completely — a feat so
gloriously achieved, howsoever briefly, by our brother Taliban during their
golden rule in Afghanistan
The orange-clad biker
flew by me, like a solar flare, as I turned right on to the lower Mall.
Refusing to believe what I appeared to have seen, shortly when I encountered
the same biker tanking up at the petrol pump next to the Government College
hostel, my fears were confirmed — it was a girl solo-riding a motorcycle. She
was turning heads just doing her thing — not in Rome, Rio or any other hotbed
of sin but right here in our holy city by the Ravi, where even simple pleasures
like kite flying are banned. ‘Girls gone wild’, a la Lahore? Surely, no biker
babes are to be tolerated in the Islamic Republic which — forget the original
secular vision of Jinnah — today stands reincarnated in the image of Ziaul Haq?
