provide all sorts of help required by Prof. Dr. Lutfullah Kakakhel
so that the JCSP could be presented “on line” within
a shortest possible time of one month as proposed by Prof. Lutfullah.

important issue and told the house that he knew a few International
enterprises who provided such services for
“online” publication of scientific journals and money
was no problem for such planning as the companies interested were
willing to provide the services with minimum cost rather negligible
cost for one year after which they would like to manage this whole
affair as a profitable business with the profit earned to be shared
with the CSP. Thus it could be very interesting proposal for the
