These projects take years to take off and so the port will probably generate negligible revenue in the first couple of decades. That is why the lease is for 40 years. The security costs are not an issue as our objective is not just the port revenue but it is to start economic activities in the...

Perhaps its not $90 billion. Perhaps it's only $90 million. That's still $90 million more than what Gwadar is generating right now, and the thousands of jobs the people of Balochistan will get is the main benefit. Jobs for the Baloch will bring prosperity to the region and wipe out the last...

I believe it was a Singapore company, who failed to develop the port and so their contract was cancelled. What's your point? Karakoram highway was blocked at Lowari pass but that has been resolved with Lowari tunnel. Now the traffic flows through out the year. Not only that, but other roads...

India lacks the courage to take bold decisions. They will continue to waste time. Bramdagh is barking up the wrong tree.

Sushma Swaraj is the minister of external affairs, not a visa processing officer. It was she who had placed restrictions on medical visas herself, and now she is enjoying the limelight at the cost of suffering of children from Pakistan. If she thinks these Twitter requests are worth responding...

They do it because they know that Sushma Swaraj is using this method to gain political points, and a person who is ill will do anything to save his child's life. If Sushma Swaraj is such a humanitarian, she could institute procedures to deal with emergency medical visas, rather then handling...

I've been to an embassy many a times, and I know it takes time. But I also know that the people at every embassy in the world, including the Indian one, are humans. They do make special arrangements for emergencies. It is not a robot interface.

No one is searching for conspiracies. It is obvious that she is digging media attention in the face of the suffering of little children. There is absolutely no reason for her to intervene as she is not a visa processing officer. Dude it is the people at the embassy who process the application...

A foreign govt can only get groups of people to engage in guerrilla warfare. If the people are spontaneously gathering to disrupt operations against the freedom fighters, and the Indian army chief had to resort to threatening the civilians of Kashmir against it, then it is obviously much beyond...

When people are fighting for their lives, they are desperate and will do anything to get better. It is like asking people to stay away from a well in a desert. However, how about helping people humbly and allowing the embassy to deal with it.

I don't appreciate if anyone plays politics at the cost of humanity, no matter how it is packaged. International politics is neither as simple nor as innocent, as it is being portrayed by India.

A good deed is one which is not advertised on twitter. The same applications could be handled by the qualified people at the embassy. Imagine helping a person and then playing it all out on twitter. None of the people who were involved in the attacks ever had any connection with medical visas...

What is the reason for placing hindrances in medical visa in the first place? It is being done only so that Sushma Swaraj can get coverage for solving petty problems that she herself created.

So what should the bloody civilians have done? Accept the introduction of the Yuan within Pakistan? Pledge the ownership of another dam, as well as the revenues of the Bhasha dam to the Chinese? This is international politics, and negotiations take place regardless of alliances or rivalries.

It is the duty of the groom to force the families to shun all dowry. In an ideal world, the girl's family should refuse to go ahead with the wedding if a dowry is demanded, but then there is the issue of not finding suitable bridegrooms. It is a cruel world.

What type of ToT are they talking about? The engine is the main thing that India needs, and that is imported by both from America. The plane is already ready and evolved, it will only be a case of moving the production facility to India. Are they going to train the engineers? If the dealings of...

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is not the one to blame for the downfall of PIA. It was the PPP which took every opportunity to load up its supporters as extra employees into the airline and then it used the unions to force through their demands. Now all sorts of criminal activities, from drug trafficking...

Your post is not clear. Kindly rephrase the comment.

And you think a sovereign guarantee can protect anyone with an assassination like Salman Taseer? The exact same thing happened to Indhira Gandhi in the official Prime Minister house in New Delhi! What sovereign guarantee has the Indian government given to her to protect against the Indhira...

India indulging in petty politics again.
