    Miftah Ismael Describes His Priorities as Finance Minister

    While I generally don't agree with the guy and his antics, to be Frank there's nothing wrong with what he is saying. The priority has been to stabilize the deficits and credit crisis. How they have gone about doing that is another story...

    Through a ‘widely-circulated’ letter: PTI seeks to upset govt-IMF apple cart?

    1. Solution was below market commodity contracts. The friendly countries are not giving aid but entering into sale contracts where they are buying national assets at steeply discounted values. Congratulations, you have gone from potentially buying stuff at a discount to selling stuff at a...

    Leaked audio of Shaukat Tareen

    These sellouts are closed to logic. Such a simple chain of events: Each PDM party criticizes IMF programme and even threaten to cancel it once they come to power: not anti-state PDM tries to derail anti money laundering and anti terrorist financing regulations brought into to comply with FATF...

    Leaked audio of Shaukat Tareen

    If the letter was indeed a sabotage, why was the deal approved by IMF? Your answer would be that PDM begged and cajoled IMF, which isn't true - a lender would never approve a loan if it knows that there's internal strife and it's conditions would not be followed. The reality is that PTI never...

    PTI anti Pakistan and economy stance.

    You talk about proof. Can you provide proof that the letter was an attempt to derail the IMF bailout? Awfully convenient: when the KP government kept trying to engage (without the issues being in the public eye), the feds kept ignoring. Eventually when the federation as a whole was about to...

    Imran refuses to collect funds for flood relief but asks to fund his Jalsas

    It's quite clear that overseas Pakistanis are not contributing to the extent they have done in the past due to the regime change and overseas voting saga: https://www.dawn.com/news/1707000/pakistani-community-in-us-against-party-politics-during-floods The headline doesn't support the narrative...

    PTI anti Pakistan and economy stance.

    No its not anti-state. If the provincial governments haven't been taken onboard in what was negotiated with IMF, this is what is bound to happen. Its basic autonomy. Everything that your handlers sowed is now biting you in the ***. 18th amendment, creating a hung / split / weak government. Why...

    Farah Gogi gets clean chit in corruption case

    Not sure I would proudly put on my CV 4 decades of experience at being involved in running a company where the company was being gradually burned down to the ground...

    Farah Gogi gets clean chit in corruption case

    What's beyond me is why does PTI not go ahead and file countersuits. Embroil the other parties in legal suits as well, stop being defensive: Easy defamation lawsuits against several PMLN and PPP leaders for allegations against IK and Farah Gogi which have proven to be false Easy lawsuit to...

    PDM Govt Plans to arrest Imran Khan

    He will not be arrested at Bani gala. He could potentially be arrested tomorrow at the ATC if he is not granted bail. ATC courts function on army's directions, so who knows whether he will be granted bail. He ought not go there in person, at least until crowds surround the court which the crooks...

    PDM is hoping for the army to impose Martial Law

    Won't happen. Army knows that will unite all parties against them. They won't let that happen.

    PDM Govt Plans to arrest Imran Khan

    "No". That's exactly what the problem is. Army is not equipped to self-correct, be self accountable and fix the rot at its head. Don't blame the politicians. Politicians squabble in every democracy. In Pakistan it descends into fascism because one side is always equipped and supported in its...

    PDM Govt Plans to arrest Imran Khan

    Does that eventuality include uprooting the rot at its helm?

    Dr۔ Shahabaz Gill arrested from Islamabad

    That's the thing though. The other side always has the upper hand on you since they are ready to let the nation get destroyed, if it comes to that. 1971 itself, 2018 budget / exchange rate fiasco, even the regime change. They know that IK would blink to save the nation. I say, let the state go...

    Pakistan’s first locally produced electric car unveiled on Independence Day

    It's not designed to cater to intercity travel. It's for the daily commute and a bit more. Most manufacturers except the likes of Tesla are targeting the 200-300km range at the moment. What concerns me are the wheels. How will the car survive Karachi potholes the size of Mian Sahab's backside?

    Dr۔ Shahabaz Gill arrested from Islamabad

    No such oath. Here's the oath that each person of Armed forces must take as per the constitution: Members Of The Armed Forces [Article 244] (In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.) I, ____________, do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to Pakistan...

    Dr۔ Shahabaz Gill arrested from Islamabad

    First of all it's completely preposterous why only speaking against the armed forces is considered sedition. Why are other institutions left out? Is the judiciary not important for national security? The answer is that no institution is above the democratic right of protest. Imagine...citizens...

    ECP finds PTI guilty of accepting prohibited funds

    Once you remove two instances: A. Funds raised from companies which wasn't illegal in 2012 B. Funds raised from charitable companies which is a requirement if foreign jurisdictions The remaining amount is indeed immaterial. The certificate is not fake nor is anyone blaming accountants. The...

    ECP finds PTI guilty of accepting prohibited funds

    A) No, $10 or $10,000,000 irregularity is not the same in the eyes of law. There are concepts of materiality and undue effort in law to make things practical. B) Most of it is not illegal since corporate structures are required to register charities in most countries to make fundraising legal...
