ROVING through diverse scenarios—during the past over two months—we are back with a fresh zeal n’ zest to disseminate news n’ views in a ceaseless free, fair n’ frank style, which has been an idiosyncratic feature n’ facet of a zestful team—in the silhouette of ‘TIMES’, a momentous limb of the bona fide potent medium—of the 21st century epoch—to clutch authentic information vis-à-vis day-to-day episodes around the globe via a complete n’ compact daily web newspaper.

With a fresh n’ fragrant title, ‘Pakistan Times’, our pragmatic objectives shall remain intact—irrespective of a probable onslaught from any dimension—as was spitefully n’ callously done by a sadistic set of fussy n’ scandalous internet machinists of India via a wicked stab to sliver ‘TIMES’ from the internet. Yet this noxious n’ toxic shot was thwarted in a vibrant style. We can pragmatically reassure our distinguished visitors n’ readers—with jovial n’ avid perceptions—that 'Pakistan Times' is now more geared-up to try and change people’s attitudes, to make them alike and love each other more and think like neighbours—rather than the foes.

Yet we will continue to expose n’ unfurl every tyrannical outlook—wherever it exists with India atop—to save n’ shield the humankind from every perilous course. With this candid mindset, we will continue to project the magnitude of inhuman treatment like brutalities n' atrocities—wherever such a course persists—with an exceptional focus on the plight of guiltless Kashmiris in Indian-held part of the charismatic Himalayan State to get their manacles slashed by the intruders—equipped with lethal arsenal to quell their birth right of self-determination, guaranteed to the bravo Kashmiris with one-voice—more than a dozen time even by the United Nations through its resolutions—which are as clear as crystal.

We will support every de facto freedom struggle so as to ensure that every-one in this egalitarian era enjoys fruits of full freedom—with equilibrium—as its podium. Likewise, we will continue with the only benchmark—with a determined ecstasy to focus on the stuffing of the news n' views with a curious approach to refurbish stories as event-oriented instead of going with gusto to transmit the gist as a pictogram of personality-oriented tête-à-tête.

It is an established fact that it is man-behind-the-gun—not the gun that sets free a potent impact. To accomplish this goal—‘Pakistan Times’—shall be steered by a galaxy of intellectuals—with professionals, having enormous n’ alluring back-drop in the arena of print, electronic and online journalism. We believe that for this a far-fetched n’ natty outlook is a prerequisite. A cosmetic adjust—and that too—without a set of erudite does—in no way—fetch fixed repute for any medium—in whatever mode it operates. As a matter of fact, right from the very beginning, our aim has been atypical n’ very simple: ‘to do news like the world has never done’—just that. We are determined to maintain our mission n’ assignment—with the same aromatic savour—at all costs.

Simultaneously, we wish to see the swift expansion of the online medium—with an innovative loom everywhere—more exclusively in the realms—where the internet device is either being misconstrued or such environs are faced with paucity of literacy rate. We will prove with an authentic way to make such souls realize that it’s not a mere idol for bilateral or multilateral chat on pointless topics and that too for an ephemeral n’ fleeting delight—but, with realism, the most authoritative n’ booming—everlasting spring of information n’ education—with entertainment as its’ last entity.

Though most of the countries—in the comity of nations—are making best use of this powerful appliance, the internet with captivating n’ fascinating chic—there still scores of set-ups both in public n’ private sector—which are resorting to take it in a juvenile, immature, embryonic, trivial, trifling n’ puerile way—either due to lack of awareness about its significance or with as a premeditated approach. To quote a perceptible instance is—Pakistan’s E-Government Directorate [EGD] set-up, which is an organ of the Ministry of Information Technology—prima facie to depict n’ illustrate a marvellous n’ affluent Pakistan—with full info about the great, attractive, charming n’ remarkable domain, yet its website—enunciated with a hefty sum of the national exchequer—is filled with elfin worthless n’ hollow contents—a facet—totally repugnant to real objectives—such a site is ought to have to edify n’ enlighten the world. Not only that it take a cumbersome time to get open—some of the links’—inserted n’ injected in it—portray as E-Gov unit was an icon of the country’s Opposition parties in place of its real title-holder—the Government.

One fails to understand as to how such an erratic n’ arctic performance can soundly counter the hideous propaganda crusade, unleashed worldwide by the adversaries of Pakistan—with India on the top of the catalogue? Yet we are resolute to do every-thing for the lovely soils of Pakistan—and that too, with any explicit interest. The only curiosity—with us is to depict the consecrated Pakistan—in the same fascinating style—as it in actuality merits.

With ‘Pakistan Times’ the first independent daily web newspaper, the only online paper, bequeathed with International Standard Serial Number [ISSN] in Pakistan—as the projector of focus on events in the most hazardous region of South Asia—due to India’s antagonistic stance—yet another daily ‘The World Today’ [ www.TWTNews.com ]—shall stay on your desktop with latest and updated news n’ views—from all-over the globe—much before the advent of every dawn.

To meet the aspirations of our valued visitors—who turned up in millions in a short span of time—we contemplate to set off—in fact rejuvenate a daily—in Urdu language—‘Daur-e-Jadeed’—very soon to reminisce the dazzling mission n’ memoirs of its solitary author—the sagacious legend n’ cerebral, don of history, theorist n’ philosopher—late Abdul Hamid Nizami [RA] decades ago—as the most accepted, much-adored, highly-admired n’ well-acknowledged weekly—in print outline of the time. Yet, paradoxically, ‘Daur-e-Jadeed’ had to go in veil, as its declaration got evaporated—the moment, the great marvel soul took of for eternity. While endeavours for the restoration of the declaration of ‘Daur-e-Jadeed’ are—in progress—by TIMES Group of Publications, the weekly is being revived as a daily web newspaper to accomplish the vigorous n’ spirited vision of its pragmatic n’ singular founder n’ author.

The solo mission before ‘Pakistan Times’ n’ its allied publications is to take all problematic settings of the populous—irrespective of ones’ faith, colour, cast, creed or credo—to the corridors of power, on national n’ international level to get the civilization rid of all types of dilemmas with a zeal n’ ardour to revamp today’s world—virtually a global village—into a nucleus of peace n’ amity—synchronized with love n’ adore for peace n’ hate n’ abhorrence for all types of skirmishes—on each n’ every echelon to clutch loftiest affluence for every-one—all-over.

With this optimism, we are originating a zestful voyage—afresh, of-course with the back-up of our treasured guests—with you atop. Setting aside the raison d'être of a prolonged pause, 'Pakistan Times' is being placed on the web of the world's Atlas -- today -- with a rock-solid resolve n' pledge:

“We’re gonna go on the global web today, and we’re gonna stay on until the end of the world. When that time comes, we’ll cover it, say just five sacred n' sanctified words: ‘Nearer My God to Thee,’ and sign off.”
