    Pakistan FM Qureshi wins "CNN anti-Semitic slur remark" debate

    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...

    Debate / Ideas for solutions to Pakistan's economic problems

    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...

    IBM has created smallest and most advanced microchip in the world at 2nm

    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.

    Featured India Passes Law Making Compulsory Teaching of Hindu Ramayana and Gita in Islamic Madrassas

    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...

    Featured India Passes Law Making Compulsory Teaching of Hindu Ramayana and Gita in Islamic Madrassas

    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...

    UAE rolling out Chinese vaccine to all citizens and residents

    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.

    Featured Balakot and Pulwama inside job: More evidence emerges

    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...

    Featured Balakot and Pulwama inside job: More evidence emerges

    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...

    Featured Balakot and Pulwama inside job: More evidence emerges

    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...

    Karachi keep blackmailing & blame gaming Government to get the 1.1 Trillion rupees massive development money package | Victim-hood Card works

    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...

    Karachi keep blackmailing & blame gaming Government to get the 1.1 Trillion rupees massive development money package | Victim-hood Card works

    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...

    200 million dollars deposited in Roshan Digital Accounts: PM Imran Khan

    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.

    10 Reasons Why India’s LCA Tejas Will Be ‘Shot-Down’ By Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder In Global Arms Market

    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.

    10 Reasons Why India’s LCA Tejas Will Be ‘Shot-Down’ By Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder In Global Arms Market

    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...

    goods and bads Roshan Digital Account ???

    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...

    Deposits Cross $100 Million in Roshan Pakistan Digital Accounts

    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...

    Pakistan's Exports Surging At The Fastest Rate in South Asia

    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...
