    1999-2007 Musharaf's Golden Economy

    Two children get into a fight and then make up later on. Nor did India or Pakistan change. Mushraf alongside Vajpayee came to understand that there is no military solution to Kashmir and hence started negotiations for a diplomatic solution. As an Indian wouldn't you prefer that both nations live...

    1999-2007 Musharaf's Golden Economy

    That is a stupid thing to say. I will not be commenting further. If there is one thing about Musharaf, that is that he was defiantly patriotic. I'm done with this conversation. You can disagree on his policies however you can not call an army officer who served his nation in several conflicts...

    1999-2007 Musharaf's Golden Economy

    It's easy to say that when you don't know reality. The fact is Pakistan and India were close to agreeing on the Chenab formula. Don't be delusional, we can never take the whole of Kashmir from India (just like they can't take the whole of Kashmir from us). Kashmir issue can only be sorted...

    1999-2007 Musharaf's Golden Economy

    Money for services rendered. Our base and supply lines were not free. You can call it aid to make it sound better but we know the real reason why the money was trickling down.

    1999-2007 Musharaf's Golden Economy

    Are you saying that if he really wanted to impose marshal law then he should have done it during Kargail? That would have been suicide. The state would have appeared weak, our troops moral would have fallen and could have led to more wounds. While Kargail was not a loss, it was badly handled...

    Qatari Tourism Official Said The Country Would Not Grant Visas To It's "Enemies Egypt and Saudi"

    I think my wording was a little harsh and I do apologise for it. The problem with that is most of the jobs will be low skilled, low income. The best scenario is that our workforce have enough jobs at home.

    Qatari Tourism Official Said The Country Would Not Grant Visas To It's "Enemies Egypt and Saudi"

    Mate, I lived in Qatar for 4 years. I’m just curious to know how can you expect a country with 2.6 million people to have 1 million expats from a particular country?

    PAF VS IAF DOGFIGHT | SHER DIL MOVIE

    Block 2, built in 07? I'm sure this is CGI and hence the tail number does not match the block. I loved the movie though, a decent Pakistani movie after a long time.

    Fake degrees Pakistan - Axact at it again - Documentary

    All companies owned by Shoaib Sheikh should be closed down, including Axact and Bol News. $14 million in revenue from selling fake degrees. Shameful.

    Pakistan is a safe haven for economic terrorists

    Macro economic policies can not be endorced by an MBA or a CA. We need a person like Atif Mian. I call on CJSC to evoke article 27 on Atif Mian’s appointment.

    ‘Black economy’

    PTI devalued the currency in a bid to make our domestic goods and services more competitive. Stronger Rupee imports cheaper, exports dearer hence weaker rupee imports dearer exports cheaper. The government tried to make our exports more competitive to improve the balance of payment deficit...

    ‘Black economy’

    Your understanding of economics is vague. Indrect taxes are taxes on spending, for example VAT. Indirect taxes hurt the poorest people most as you will have to pay more of your income per centage than a rich person. Direct taxes don’t hurt the poor as much as direct as excemptions are given.

    ‘Black economy’

    They say our informal economy is as large as our formal economy. Roughly worth more than $300 billion a year. Taxing the rich is something that they should do. The problem with that is rich people can afford smart accountants that exploit loopholes. The other problem is corruption, why would...

    ‘Black economy’

    Increasing the tax band is hard, here’s why? Around 51 per cent of Pakistanis are female and most females don’t work in Pakistan hence are not in the tax bracket. I know a lot of women work but just to keep the numbers simple. Now that leaves 100 million people. Out of which majority of people...

    Qatar withdraws measures established against UAE

    The GCC already introduced VAT a while back however Qatar didn't due to the ongoing situation with the GCC. Look there is no denying Qatar has suffered because of the blockade, prices have increased however the Qatari government has tried a lot to minimise the damage. Things are not that bad...

    Qatar withdraws measures established against UAE

    I lived in Qatar for 4 years and still go back every now and then. I have to say the wat Qatar handeled the situation was remarkable. The blockading countries have always been vary of Qatar, they even planned a coup in the country a few decades ago.
