Sir: One after the other scandals have become a routine thing in Pakistan. It seems as if controversies have entrapped the country in their fist. Such a development is not good for the reputation and survival of the nation. The entire country is swept in the wave of gossip, speculation and suspense. The latest incident of Malik Riaz and the ensuing TV channel’s off-air recording issue tells a lot about the state of Pakistan’s affairs. It tells that this country has lost touch with itself and issues that are nibbling on it would one day consume it completely. RIDA KHAN Lahore
