I have never been a troll. I argue on facts and policies of other political parties that I consider unwise or possibly destructive for Pakistan's future and that is my right to speak on issues pertaining to Pakistan. Had I been a troll mods would have banned me long time ago. Where have I been...

I consider it funny. Since any article against IK and PTI is dubbed as fake/BS while posting on other people is considered just fine in your books. Most of the articles I post are from Univeristy professors or professionals who write blogs or articles on Tribune. What state? Pakistan's...

I have nothing personal against Imran Khan and his troll brigade but RayKalm created a thread by naming me and Mr. Musharraf. I chose to respond. The feeling goes both ways. My respect for IK also diminishes when IK fanboys attack me or Gen. Musharraf with ridiculous and made up BS. This is a...

Pakistan's economy grew at 9% during his tenure and averaged at around 7% growth per annum. Even today's government applauds this growth when they went begging for loans. We were named as Next 11 by Goldman. Record foreign investment, exports, construction boom, media, banking industry...

He is 10000x better than Mullah KHAN and his LOTA company and other corrupt %hit in Pakistan. There were several reasons he had to delay his return but remember this HE WILL RETURN before elections I know this for a fact.

I guess you haven't read my posts properly. I said Sindh. Further more, you need a geography lesson. Karachi ( Karācī (help·info), Urdu: کراچی; Sindhi: ڪراچي) is the largest city, and the main seaport and financial centre of...

Imran Khan: engaging delusion There was a moment last December when the mirage shimmered and briefly dissipated for many Imran Khan supporters. Amidst a tsunami of Sipah-e-Sahaba (SSP) and Lashkar-e-Tayyaba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) flags, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Vice President Ijaz...

why does PAKISTAN lose billions as a result of any disruption in Karachi? if it just COLLECTS tax as you say so. I do not trust wiki. However, there is an old chart showcasing Sindh's contribution to GDP from 1973-2000 remained at 32%. It has increased since then. I

Karachi contributes 60-70pc of revenue KARACHI - Federal Board of Revenue Chairman Sohail Ahmad has said the Karachi contributes 60-70 per cent of the revenue to national exchequer. At a discussion organized by the KCCI he announced that the committees for direct and indirect taxation and...

I trust Federal Board of Revenue more than some fanboys editing on Wikipedia. Do look at the citations given. Again if that were the case why does the 'engine' bleed when Karachi is at a standstill and lose billions? Agriculture accounts for only 21% of national GDP.

That is incorrect. Services sector accounts for majority of our GDP thereby nullifies your argument. EDIT: forgot to mention Pakistan's invaluable assets Port Qasim and Karachi Port.

Yes, indeed I have. Why not go through this list? List of companies of Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The services sector accounts for 50% of Pakistan's GDP. All companies associated in this sector earn revenues and are based in Karachi...

As I said you maybe correct to some extent. Ragardless, the fact remains the revenue is deposited at Karachi's LTU (Large Tax Unit) as far as I know there are 4 or 5 LTUs one being in Lahore the highest contributor is Karachi LTU. The reason Lahore LTU does not contribute is because there is NO...

You are to some extent correct. However, just to get an idea of how big Karachi's industry is search SITE and 4 other industrial zones in Karachi on google maps. Getz Pharma, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Adamjee, Waves, Dawlance and etc. The fact remains Karachi contributes 70% of Pakistan's revenue...

Hold your horses. HSBC has a tiny presence in Pakistan with a branch network of only 10!! other banks such as Standard Chartered have over 250. Further more, it's not only Pakistan HSBC is also quiting Korea. HSBC eyes Korea, Pakistan sales in global retreat Reuters - Europe's biggest bank...

Nope, this is true. Just go through this: List of companies of Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 80% are from Karachi. Waves, Dawlance and etc.

Letters from abroad: Shame on you, you are Pakistani Suvarnabhumi Aiport, Check-in Counter 1, Row W: I’m at the check-in counter of a low-cost budget airline with an indemnity form staring at me – as if mocking me, telling me you had this coming. There are four women and three men, all...

First off, projects such as Limitless and Crescent bay were private / foreign investment NOT being built by tax payers money. So you're wrong. Second, these projects would've provided thousands of jobs in turn pave way for economic growth. This would have resulted in more FDI and revenue (tax)...
