He did good by saying his mind.
But he could definitely have done a better job at the debating aspect. He could have destroyed her for the thoughtless remark. SMQ should have asked her to define anti-semitism. Then he should have asked her to show her line of reasoning how she is connecting...
Long term Pakistan simply needs a massive drive on sciences:
Reduce allocation to commerce / non-science educational institutions and re-allocate to sciences
Increase duties on non-essentials - use the revenue earned to fund heavy industries and sciences
Bring in PPP model on funding...
Now lets see if Intel can actually manufacture these. Intel's problems in recent years haven't been architecture, but fabrication where TSMC and Samsung have ruled. Intel hasn't been able to deliver a problem 7nm solution as yet.
I'm telling you how the world works. Its a money game - they are serving their self interest. It may not be fair, but they are doing what is best for them.
You cannot with a straight face say that Russia is not behind massive cybersecurity terrorism. The US and Europe have openly claimed this...
To your last question, the answer is quite obvious. The same reason Russia won't get out on the grey list regardless of the fact that they have surmounted significant cybersecurity attacks and been involved in several dubious money flows. India is too big of a market, especially for the likes of...
Abu Dhabi and the rest of the Emirates have gone the Sinopharm way, while Dubai has gone with Pfizer. From my experience, Abu Dhabi is usually a lot more cautious with their approach. But at the end of the day, this is likely to be a political move to keep both the East and the west happy.
Your line of reasoning presumes that all information circulated by your government to its stooges is correct, which obviously is flawed. Sure, you can question why assume the remaining information is also true. But the incidents that followed indicate that the remaining information this stooge...
Chapter closed on assertions of a F-16, no new information on that since the event. This thread is about new information about the overall event, not F-16.
You are trying a tired and sorry method to brush this aside. As I said, your air force can choose to believe something based on half facts...
The chapter on that closed a long time back by defense experts, some in your own country. Would be great if you stop whining about it. Yes he had an inside view. The inside view about the F-16 loss is a fallacy at best and a sham at worst since no credible evidence available to your own airforce...
I did not even mention Lahore, so don't know about jealousy. To me, Lahore doesn't even register on an economic scale.
You are again talking about fruit and vegetables. IT is as big in Karachi as in Punjab. Economic activity (GDP) alone doesn't generate any revenue, you must tax it. And guess...
In your rather rudimentary mind, services sector does not count towards GDP. Yes, Karachi generates a lot of revenue through ports, transhipment and financial services, but that's what major and developed urban centers do - provide value added services rather than produce low value goods (i.e...
Sure - so you give away all your savings as Zakat and Qard-hasana?
If not, do tell how / where you invest. We are talking about investment in this world, not for after life. The former are encouraged by Islam as well to promote the economy.
Can you please get to topic. This is a comparison, not an illogical debate: what use is your entire IAF if cant liberate Azad Kashmir (which you see as occupied). Also thank you for acknowledging China is a superpower which handed you your @ss.
PAF learned from its F-16 experience with different blocks bringing incremental upgrades and ultimately culminating in an aircraft which is quite lethal. They knew that you need actual flying time and trial + error to build a new platform from scratch. You can try and soothe your wounds all you...
Assuming you will be investing in Naya Pakistan certificates, the rates are the same across the banks since these are GoP issued securities.
To an extent, yes. But part of the initiative ought to be SBP testing banks' processes and procedures and ensuring that they comply with communicated SOPs...
Good:
As long as the documentation is complete account opening is usually quick
Good rates
Complete digital opening
Bad:
For most banks (I have tried two) its clear that not a lot of thought or UAT has gone into designing the forms and getting customer info. I gave up on one bank and was only...
I have to say that I am a little concerned about the rates being offered and the corresponding burden on the reserves of and when this money flows out at the first hint of trouble.
The rate being offered is higher that what the sukuks yield when in fact retail and small ticket investors are...
Critics (after one year): Exchange devaluation to boost exports is so 1900s - see it didn't work
Critics (now): So what! Export growth is mainly due to currency devaluation.
It is also clear that textile is contributing as well (don't know about agri stats). While I am also skeptical about...
