Disagree...there is definitely a trust deficit. They blame Pakistan for what happened in Afghanistan and do not trust us, why are we so reliant on China now for so many things now then? Pakistan is no position to openly go against the U.S and cannot rely on the U.S. It never could. As China...
Very well said. Its very simple, none of this would be happening if the U.S and its cronies didn't try to bring Ukraine into NATO. They needed an ego boost after their humiliation in Afghanistan. The U.S is cauky and arrogant and is not coming to terms with the reality that the world has...
People need to get out of the cold war mentality of being in either Russian or American or Chinese camp. The world has changed and is far more interdependent and increasingly multipolar.
Pakistan needs to follow its interests and have multifaceted relationships that will help us achieve those...
There are alot of solutions to this, many can be procedural and technical...it all comes down to establishment of rules and procedures as to how to handle conflict or deadlock in different circumstances. As a reminder the role of parliament in a presidential system is to pass laws and legislate...
I think it is clear to anybody with reason why the current system does not work and has failed. A long disertation is hardly needed. I would say the exact same to you. Rather than blowing hot air, let's hear your arguments about why the current system works and how wonderful it is rather than...
Unfortunately the current Parliamentary system is beyond repair. In Pakistans case it was created by and for the corrupt. Any changes made to the system over the past several years aka 18th amendment were done to continue the hold of looters and we see the damage that has been done...
Pakistan needs a presidential system, there is no doubt there. The Parliamentary system has failed and rotten to the core in Pakistan. Do we need a U.S style Presidential system? No. The U.S system has plenty of flaws and though it has worked in thr U.S it won't work elsewhere. A political...
The whole system, constitution needs to go. We are beyond reforms, its not just politicians who are corrupt but society as well that has lost its moral compass and sense of right and wrong. Everyone is out there for themself to make a buck how ever they can, right or wrong. People have accepted...
He is talking about a directly elected Presidential system. That has never existed in Pakistan. The Presidential system under General Ayub was an indirectly system and designed more to keep him in power than anything else. Regardless, Pakistan progressed more under his flawed Presidential...
This so shameful. The people involved in this horrendous, despicable crime are not Muslim. They are not even human, but rabid wild animals. They need to be hunted down and given the harshest punishment.
Unfortunately this is another example of our failed system. There will be investigations a...
AZM will be the replacement for F-16's. JF-17s will replace the F-7s and mirages. PAF will do whatever needed to maintain a qualitative edge over the IAF including buying J10c to complement the F-16s as a stop gap if it must until project AZM materializes. Russian jets are highly unlikely...
An independent Kashmir is not a realistic or sustainable option. An independent Kashmir will be a land locked country dependent on its neighbors to survive and sustain itself. That will make it open to both India and Pakistan playing their proxies to maintain their influence. Pakistan is still...
Pakistan has never had a real Presidential system where the president was elected directly by popular vote. All Presidents from Ayub to Musharraf were elected indirectly by the BD system for Ayub and parliament for every one else. That suited them being military rulers. It's easier to manipulate...
Pakistan has never had a true Presidential system where the president is directly elected by the people. Ayub Khans system the President was elected indirectly by "basic democrats". Each military ruler whether Zia or Musharraf were indirectly elected by parliament.
Does Pakistan need a...
The Army does not want to stage a coup, there is no reason or need for it. The army is fully supportive of Imran Khan and want him to succeed and for democracy to work.
Now if Imran Khan fails to deliver or some sort of major crisis happens that cripples the government or its inability to act...
