I did not know this. Then I wonder why overseas Pakistanis on this forum complain about voting? Is it because you have to be in Pakistan for casting a vote?
I've not expressed support for any party in the post that you've quoted. It was a mere observation that Imran could well be on to the back foot after recent leaks. Media's role in this expose has the potential to resurrect PDM's fortune. Most PTI supporters here are overseas Pakistanis; their...

This twitter account is operated from Rawalpindi (based on some discussion in this forum). It inherits the illustrious legacy of Rupee News, alongside the new times of Islamabad publication. It is also known to shill for PTI :agree:
I don't care for Xiaomi's fate one way or the other to be honest. Before the end of this decade, I hope some reliable Indian brands can make a dent into India's domestic market. There is a better chance for that if Chinese brands decide to leave in a few years :coffee:
Rating agencies arrive at their risk analysis report through an analytical process with supposedly transparent methodology (that I don't claim to be aware of). In some cases (like in sub prime loan crisis), corruption and conflict of interest within the agency can result in totally bogus rating...
You flatter me with too much credit for raising some common sense questions. PTI supporters here are so desperate to attack the current government that they often indulge in unjust propaganda. :-)
I'm not an expert on finance and I do not know more about Pakistani economy than what is posted by...
The recent floods have played a major role in this rating slide. Additionally the global recession has not helped either.
But with international help (close to $6 billion in pipeline) and a fully committed political leadership, Pak can bounce back into investment grade in due time :cheers:
